Flashback Friday - The Mother's Day Edition - great gift ideas!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Friday! I hope you are having an awesome day and getting ready to celebrate an amazing holiday weekend!  In the USA, it's Mother's Day - a time to honor the person in your life who has been a mother to you!

I have had a wild ride recently with work, travel, a graduation, now Mother's Day and then my birthday. All good times, all in a weekend!

Don't even ask about the wild weather! It's been cool and raining in my normally hot and dry desert home. No complaints - just weird.

Now below I have some classic and helpful gift ideas for your Mother's Day celebrations and there is still time to get something wonderful for your mom!  I swear by buying fragrance at this time of year for the gift with purchases - so get some perfume for you and some for mom!

Hello Gorgeous!

Wow-school is over and graduation ceremonies are happening all over the Phoenix valley tonight. Where did the time go? I suppose we could ask ourselves that questions about many things?

Well if ramping up your anti-aging routine for summer is on your to-do list, then try some Murad Age Reform Time Release Retinol Concentrate. I have been testing my sample for a few days and love the light texture, lack of scent, no sting and best of all the very Star Trek syringe looking tube-it says sci fi to me and I like it!


This product is a part of the skin care routine that comes between washing/toning and moisturizing. So be sure and use it before your moisturizer and sunscreen. Now-the challenge-where to buy: online I've seen it selling for about $34 though if you need it today like right now-then expect to pay $65 at Nordstroms. We all know convenience costs!

Here's a bit of info from the main Murad website: " Wrinkle-FreeReclaiming your youth just got easier. Murad's breakthrough Time Release Retinol Concentrate for Deep Wrinkles features a highly concentrated formula that resurfaces skin, minimizing the length and depth of wrinkles. The luxe multi-action formula also plumps skin to decrease wrinkle volume, while rebuilding damaged collagen to promote a smoother, more refined, younger-looking complexion. Think of it as your best defense against the aging process. " Remember: you are beautiful! Thank you for visiting the blog and check back for promotions and beauty giveaways!
