Hello Gorgeous!
Happy Mother's Day to you, and you and you!
I gave my Mom a load of makeup, hair goodies, and lottery tickets.
What did you give yours?
I also shared with her some of the Borghese Italian cosmetics that have come to the blog and I just know she is going to look amazing in it!
Now, if you are looking for something to give a
Green Mom-consider some Aubrey Natural Spa bath salts and shave creme. These are Earth friendly body care items for at home spa time for Mom! Aubrey is a trusted and respected brand known for it's organic practices.
You can find them at Sprouts, and specialty markets.
I think you can never go wrong with a fragrance for Mom either! Coty makes some of the worlds' leading fragrances and the best part is they are
easily accessible...meaning, if you just woke up and remembered that it's Mother's Day and y0u haven't gotten anything for her yet-then just zip over to the closest Walmart, Target or Walgreen's and grab a Coty fragrance like the new Love Me! from Kimora Lee Simmons. Or-get a Faith Hill or Halle Berry Reveal scent! Don't forget to grab the gift bag, tissue paper and card while you are there!
Now, this last list is my Top 10 Gifts to Get Mom-ideas that I would like to receive and just may help you too! Enjoy!
10.Movie tickets-and the time to out and see a movie in the theatre!
9. Pedicure/Manicure-and the time to go get it!
8. Concert tickets-you guessed it…and the time to go see Journey, or whoever else is playing!
7. Technology-and your time to show me how to work it!
6. Brunch-and to enjoy the time together breaking bread and making memories.
5. Perfume-you can never go wrong with a gift of fragrance in my book!
4. Jewelery-a wee bauble to remember you by, but as a Mom, you never stop thinking about your kids!
3. Handbags/Shoes-personally I think you can never have enough of either!
2. Gift cards to favorite stores-perhaps a outing adventure together to shop?
1. Handmade creation from you-anything that you took time and talent to put together!

Hello gorgeous! You know, one of my favorite Christmas songs which was never really a Christmas song is "Baby, It's Cold Outside" written by Frank Loesser. Even though Mr. Loesser never meant it to be a Christmas song, it seems that when Dean Martin sang it, it just sort of went that way? Well I write all that to tell you that here in Arizona we are having record heat, again.
No boots or jeans for me, not even a jegging because it's too hot-I've got my favorite shorts on.

I also have one of my favorite new fragrances on too by Halle Berry. It's made by Coty and you know they make an entire line of fragrances that are household names and amazing!

I love the spicy exotic floral scent of this perfume! I think you will too or at least the 'bird' you give it to will! Why not pick some up at your local Walmart, Target or drugstore? It's affordably priced and in this Christmas time-it comes with a gwp! So go get some! I can already smell you from here!

Adidas Moves Pulse for him and her and you too!

Look to the Stars for Wedding Hair and Makeup

Let their glorious updos and glamorous makeup looks inspire you for your biggest beauty day ever

This is a TotalBeauty.com celebrity hairstyles article Celebs sport bridal-looking gowns all the time on the red carpet, so their hair and makeup could totally work for your wedding look. See looks

Fragance for you? Fragrance for your stocking stuffer? Fragrance as a holiday gift for the
office party?

Try the new duo of Adidas sporty scents for men and women!

I've tried both and they are a clean citrusy blend that wears well and dries down to notes that are smooth and appealing.

Each is affordable, makes a great gift, and can be purchased at the local Walmart, Target or drugstore near you.

If you feel nervous about giving fragrance as a gift, don't be! In my opinion, fragrance is a great gift any time of the year for any reason.

How do you know if a person is a fragrance junkie like me or just a special occassion wearer?

Well my answer to that is the fragrance junkie is always wearing something-whether it is a scented hand lotion, or a layering of scents from body wash, to lotion, to a finishing spritze of parfum.

The special occassion wearer simply dabs a bit on the wrist for the "special" occassion and giving that person a scented hand lotion may be better than a bottle of perfume.

Remember for your wedding, it's an amazing memory maker to pick out a specific bridal scent-something that will trigger the memories of the day with a whiff of the scent.

Enjoy some Adidas Moves Pulse today! It retails for about $19.
