Fun Gift Activities for Mother's Day
If you want to give your mom a Mother's Day to remember, instead of buying her an object, consider any of these activities to be done together.
1) Do at-home facials together. This is a wonderful way to have fun with your mom, and you will both feel pampered!
2) Take your mom to a concert or play. This is such a great way to spend the day together, and it will surely create wonderful memories.
3) Take your mom to a museum to spend the day looking at art, and treat her to lunch at the museum restaurant. Check to see what exhibitions are on view that would interest her the most.
4) Make your mom brunch at home. It is more affordable and relaxed– not to mention a fun way to spend the day together. Go for a walk together, and then perhaps stream one of her favorite movies or tv shows.
5) Have a picnic at the beach or the park. If you live near the coast, consider a picnic at the beach. If not, then a picnic at a park is a great alternative. Don't forget your beach umbrella, water and sunscreen.
6) Give your mom an at-home mani and pedi. This is such a fun way to create memories, and a great way to pamper your mom.
7) Take your mom to a botanical garden. If you have a botanical garden nearby, then this is such a beautiful way to spend the day together.

Gift Ideas for Mother's Days and Birthdays
Adirondack Fragrance Farm Balsam & Cedar Vintage Hand Cream ($19.00 for 2.3 oz. from Adirondack Fragrance Farm and their Amazon Store): is a rich and nourishing hand cream that immediately moisturizes even the most dry and chapped hands. The Balsam and Cedar scent evokes a walk through the Adirondacks on a crisp and cool afternoon. The woodsy scent is at once uplifting and intoxicatingly beautiful, and it isn't in the least bit overpowering. Sandy created this scent because she loves Balsam Fir and the essence of Northern White Cedar leaf combined with the "esters of white pine needles released on the wind on a sunny day." It is a beautiful embodiment of this amalgam of woodsy aromas, and it is a joy to use.
Strawberry Moon Beauty Velvet Moon Moisturizer ($34.00 for 1 oz. from Strawberry Moon): Strawberry Moon Velvet Moon Moisturizer is an antioxidant and vitamin-rich nourishing face cream that is formulated to pamper even the most sensitive skin. The texture is silky-smooth, ultra-lightweight, and it immediately melts into the skin. Skin is left soft, smooth, hydrated and with a beautiful luminosity. When my skin is irritated, or red, this calming and soothing cream, with its anti-inflammatory properties, calms and heals my inflammation and redness. It has a light and comforting aroma, but it is neither imposing, nor long lasting.
Overall Assessment: These are excellent gift choices for your consideration!

Anua Niacinimide 10% Dark Spot Correcting Serum Review
Anua Niacinimide 10% Dark Spot Correcting Serum is an unscented K Beauty brightening serum that is formulated to fade dark spots that occur from sun damage and acne scarring to the skin. It is a lightweight gel that melts into the skin and it hydrates, nourishes and pampers the skin while it works to fade the appearance of hyperpigmentation. The Hyaluronic Acid retains hydration while the oils, such as Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil, moisturize the skin. I have a couple of sun spots on my face from overexposure to the sun, and after weeks of daily use, I am starting to see a tiny bit of fading. I look forward to seeing what those spots will look like by the time that I finish this bottle.
The beautiful "pink colored vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is a fermented plant-derived ingredient, and the color may be lost if exposed to light."
- Containing 10% Niacinamide, 4% Tranexamic Acid and 2% Arbutin, a powerful trio of ingredients to target dull skin, and enlarged pores.
- Infused with Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid to protect damaged skin barrier, soothe and hydrate the skin. Gentle enough to be used daily, morning and night.

APRIL 2024 EMPTIES FOR THE FACE, BODY, HAIR & HOME
Spongellé Enchanted Night Body Wash Infused Buffer (Was $18.00, but it was a seasonal limited edition buffer for Halloween from Spongellé): The scent of this Halloween inspired buffer is a wonderfully deep and alluring aroma that is citrusy punctuated by a warm and musky base. It is utterly delectable. I wish that they still had this one available! Purchase Again? I would, but I am happy with the scent I just opened!
Stark Skincare Eclipse Enzymatic Cleanse + Mask ($35.00 for 4 oz. from Stark Skincare and Boxwalla): This lovely gel cleanser, which has a very slight foam, can be used as a traditional cleanser, or as a mask. It boasts a base of Aloe juice that is punctuated by fruit sugar-based Alpha Hydroxy Acids that gently exfoliate without ever stripping the skin. It has a delectable aroma that is informed by cardamom, but it isn't in the least bit overpowering. This antioxidant-rich cleanser leaves skin beautifully exfoliated, hydrated, renewed and glowing. Purchase Again? I would definitely entertain getting it again, but not until I use up more of my open facial cleansers.
