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.

At-Home Spa Day and Brunch for Mother's Day
If you are trying to find the perfect way to pamper your mom this Mother's Day, then I highly recommend an at-home spa day and brunch. She will feel loved and pampered, and you can create a day filled with precious memories. Here are 10 easy steps, and you can use products that you already have. You can also buy a few special skincare treats for your mom that you can use on her that she can unwrap and take home after.
STEP I: To begin the facial, pump out enough of your favorite Cleansing Oil for your face, neck and décolleté. Massage it for about 1 minute in a circular motion concentrating on the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. After massaging, the skin add a few drops of warm water in order to emulsify the oil (if it is the type that emulsifies), and then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
STEP II: Use your favorite gentle cleanser to remove any excess cleansing oil, if you are a fan of double cleansing.
STEP III: Gently exfoliate your skin, using your favorite facial scrub. Gently massage into your wet face neck and décolleté in a light circular motion. When cleansers and exfoliants do their job properly, one can use far less of their favorite potions and lotions, and therefore can save a lot of money on wasted product. Nowhere is this more evident than when one has to replace an ultra-expensive serum all too soon.
STEP IV: Now that all you have removed dead skin cells, apply your favorite serum to your face, neck, and décolleté, and massage it into skin in an upward motion.
STEP V: Select your favorite luxury face oil and massage it into your skin in an upward motion. Be sure that you use enough to cover your face, neck and décolleté.
STEP VI: Warm a small amount of your favorite face lotion or cream between your fingertips and massage it in to your face, neck and décolleté. Massage upward and outward in order to boost circulation.
STEP VII: If you use a separate eye cream, then warm a tiny amount between your ring fingers and then gently pat it into the delicate eye area.
STEP VIII: Apply your sunscreen.
STEP IX: Massage a rich hand cream into your freshly washed cuticles and hands.
STEP X: Make your mom her favorite breakfast or brunch.
Enjoy this beautiful day together! Happy Mother's Day!

Bumblebee Linens Hand Bath Towels for Mother's Day
If you are looking for special gifts for your mom this Mother's Day, then I am very pleased to introduce you to Bumblebee Linens. I received two sets of their embroidered linen bath towels and they are just stunning. They are a perfect indulgence for your mom, and rather than the standard bath or hand towels, she can dry her hands with embroidered linen instead.
According to Bumblebee Linens,
We started Bumblebee Linens as a way to share our wedding planning experiences and our love of DIY projects. All of our wedding invitations, programs and wedding favors were handmade from scratch and we custom embroidered presents for the entire bridal party.
Looking back, it was these little touches that made our wedding extra special. At Bumblebee Linens, our mission is to make your next event fun, memorable and stress free, so leave everything to us.
Set of 2 Linen Embroidered Fleur De Lis Bath Towels ($26.99): According to Bumblebee Linens,"Embroidered with an elegant Fleur de lis design, this set of 2 linen bath towel will make any bathroom luxurious. Sometimes you want your bathroom towels to be elegant and decorative as well as functional. These linen bath towels look great and provide an invigorating rub when you dry yourself off. Because they are made of white linen, all of our bath towels soften in age with washing."

Baylis & Harding Natural Hand Washes: Affordable & Sustainable Luxury for Mother's Day
Baylis & Harding Goodness Natural Hand Washes are perfect gifts for Mother's Day because they are affordable and sustainable luxury washes that are a joy to use and they smell utterly delectable. Furthermore, they leave your hands soft and moisturized, rather than dry and stripped.
About the Baylis & Harding Natural Hand Washes,
Inspired with the environment in mind, our Goodness collection is kind to the skin with 98% naturally derived ingredients and organic extracts, as well as also being kind to the planet with a 100% PCR bottle and recyclable pumps and caps through Terracycle.
The declared 95% biodegradable actually refers to the percentage of the formulation which is ‘readily’ biodegradable and will biodegrade quickly and completely within 28 days. However, the remaining ingredients will biodegrade within the waste water processing system but as they do not biodegrade within 28 days the brand does not include them in their on-pack claim.
Dermatologist approved (mild & gentle) and made in England with love, Goodness is also dye free, paraben free, silicone free and uses a mild coconut-derived surfactant as an alternative to SLES, making it SLS/SLES/ales free.
Left to Right: Rose & Geranium and Sea Kelp & Peppermint
Overall Assessment: At this price point, you can buy your mom all four of these luxurious hand washes for Mother's Day! A+
$5.99 each for 16.9 oz. from Target (Affiliate Links). Press Sample. All views expressed are categoricaly my own. Copyright © 2021 www.lolassecretbeautyblog.com All Rights Reserved.
