Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Ideas

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Well, Mother's day is here and it's time to plan a shelter in home celebration. There are some easing of stay at home orders and you may possibly on Sunday be able to go out to a restaurant to celebrate?
Just in case here are a few ideas to help you create a fun memory making event at home.

Is Mom a wine drinker? This stemless glass is great - even if she's not a cocktail sipper, this  glass is a fun way to commemorate the strange days and celebrate at the same time.  Available on Amazon!

Candles are always a great gift!  Your Mom can use these to have the house smell less like "shelter in place" and more like an at home spa! Order on Amazon today to have delivery in time for Mother's day!


Some Moms it seems have everything - so why not a gift card so she can order what she wants? The best thing about this option is that it can be totally digital and if your Mom is far away, you can email a digital gift card and she can receive in email and use at her convenience.

Good luck shopping for Mom and may you have a wonderful celebration!

Best Brand for Natural Body Care: Jason

Hi ya Gorgeous,

The schedule for Makeup University blog is just cray cray! So I figured, tis better to post rather than wait and not be sure - so expect more posts this week!

One of my favorite body care brands is JASON.  They have been around since 1959 and providing paraben free, chemcial free, petrolatum free and phthalate free products ever since! The JASON line of products covers everyone in the family from the baby to the grandparents!

They have done a major brand repackaging on their line - so go slow in the health and beauty section and keep your eyes out for this new look! I just tried the Soothing Aloe Vera for my son and the Invigorating Rosewater for me!

Details for Aloe Vera: 
This gentle wash cleanses with botanical surfactants and safely nourishes with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. Our blend of Soothing Aloe Vera and Sunflower Seed Oil provides lipid relief to smooth and hydrate your skin.

  Details for Invigorating Rosewater:
This gentle wash cleanses with botanical surfactants and safely nourishes with Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. Our blend of invigorating Rosewater and soothing Calendula Extract keeps your body refreshed, smooth and uplifted

The body washes has a great scent, light lather and rinses clean off of the skin. The Soothing Aloe Vera was gentle on my son's psoriasis and as a Mom, it's good to know that there is nothing funky in this product that could cause a long term harm to me or him! 

Get your favorite JASON body products at your favorite health store, or mass retailer!

The Art of a Successful Mother's Day Celebration

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Mother's Day to you!

The art of a successful mother's day celebration is that you do something to honor her, and not you.
Something to think about: if she could pick anything to do for relaxation, do that.

If she loves food, go eat. If she loves movie, go see some! If she likes exercise, take a class together!

 Get her a gift in line with what she loves and wants. So if she prefers blue silver agave tequila, get it for her!

My family went out for a celebration on Friday to have a seafood buffet and see the new Captain America Civil War movie, which, by the way, was just okay. If you haven't seen it yet, I won't give any plot spoilers, just know, it's not the feel good that the others have been.

Now, my favorite thing is fragrance. I love fragrance and I love getting it and giving it.
The big parfum houses are obvious, though there are some boutique fragrance houses out there, like ARQUISTE.

This is the floral collection and it's heavenly! There are four purse size or travel size atomzers in: white floral, woody floral, floral musky amber and a green floral! woo hoo!

These artist and small batch, hand crafted scents are perfect for creating a signature Mother's Day gift!

Dreams by Mariah Carey: scent for your weekend

 Hi Gorgeous,
Happy Sabbath! #TGIF and Shabbat shalom! Oh am I ever ready for a Friday. I'm currently en route to Tucson, home of the Arizona Wildcats U of A and the location of a funeral for a dear friend.

I'm glad to be making the trip though sad for the reason. The scent I am wearing today is the 12th and newest scent by Mariah Carey called Dreams. I chose this for the trip because the woman who passed was such a dreamer and always encouraged myself and her loved ones to dream out loud. And big!

Enjoy the review and get your booty down to Kohl to sample the scent and possibly get some for yourself!








Dreams is the name of the new fragrance by Mariah Carey, which comes out in Spring 2013. The perfume is announced as a sensual floral-gourmand with each note symbolizing a certain moment in the life of this famous singer, from childhood through fame to love.

The composition begins with delicious aromas of salty caramelized apple and star anise combined with freshness of bergamot and roasted almond scent. Sensual honeysuckle is mixed with delicate freesia and lily of the valley, creating the feminine core. Warm musk, patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla from Madagascar are placed in the subtle oriental base.

The fragrance is available as 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. Exclusively at Kohl's for about $49.99 and keep your eyes out for Mother's Day gift sets that come with a free body lotion or body wash.

 Notes details from www.fragrantica.com
P.S. It is a sweet fragrance and I really smell the caramel in this scent. Which is a good thing.

The two-sided applicator features two new Juicy Couture scents: a light eau de toilette version of the best selling Viva La Juicy, and a highly concentrated eau de perfume version of Viva la Juicy La Fleur, a floral update on the original.

How it Works

Switching up your scents is highly encouraged with this portable rollerball duo. Viva La Juicy is a sweet blend of wild berries and sweet mandarin. Viva La Juicy La Fleur is a fresh update on the original scent, with dominant floral notes of honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine.

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair color article We had a chat with Clairol Color Director, Marie Robinson to discuss the industry's best tricks for slyly covering up unsightly roots and fixing hair color disasters -- quickly and on the cheap. See her solutions

Goodmorning gorgeous! The Arizona Spring Breaks are winding down...but there is still a weekend left! Meet a new scent from Beyonce called Heat Rush. Feel the heat!

The perfume is created by Coty for Beyonce and is inspired by her life experiences and passions.

The main website describes the scent as:

"Beyoncé Heat Rush is a fruity floral fragrance that softly lures like a gentle breeze. Warm yourself with a drop of liquid sunshine: feminine Yellow Tiger Orchid, juicy sparkling Brazilian Cherry and sensual Rio Sunset Musk. ". And I describe it as being warm, spicy and dries down through the notes beautifully.

Here's a short video sharing a little bit more about it-you can get your hands on this for yourself, the rest of your spring break or for Mother's Day by visiting your local Walmart, Target or drugstore such as Walgreens, Rite Aid or CVS! Enjoy!
