Mother’s Day Gift Giving Guide

Mother's day gift ideas
Call your Mom… That’s what she really wants.

Mother’s Day is this Sunday, which means it’s prime time to shop online for a gift and still time for it to arrive on time. Shopping for my mom is honestly one of my favorite things to do because even though it can be a little tricky (doesn’t it seem like moms already have everything?!), I love being able to have a day to celebrate her, give her a thoughtful gift and thank her for everything she’s done for her family. She’s seriously the best –I love you, Mom!!

I also have to call out a few of my gift ideas below because although they’re all great options, I do have a few that are indeed my favorite. I asked for these earrings by Kendra Scott to go with the ring I purchase at Valentine’s Day. Also, this mask is perfect for any mama needing a moment of self-care and seriously beautiful skin! This Candle is one I had been wanting. My hubby surprised me with one a week ago or so as a just because gift… Seriously so good, I can’t stop burning. 

I hope you find one of my favorite things for your mom and maybe grab something for yourself. I know you’ll both be happy. Happy early Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there!! You’re all fantastic and deserve the love!

Who Say’s Halloween can’t be PRETTY? Glamour Who Say’s Halloween can’t be PRETTY?

Glamour Girl Halloween Dinner

You get inspiration from everything & everywhere….

I found mine for this table from  these “Versace”
Vibe plates I found at homegoods🖤✨🌸🕷️🔱🦋

I knew I wanted to create a Glamor feeling Halloween Tablescape.

Incorporating @hotskwash Shades of green handmade velvet pumpkins with real stems, they added just the right richness.
 
Using Vintage silver Teapots and coffee pots as vases, brings in that elegance of times past.

I choose fresh flowers in rich shades of pinks, and oranges, to pull out the color in the plates.

Black velvet ribbon, candle sticks and silverware, add the depth, elegance, yet a chic Halloween darkness.

Finishing touches of Gold accents, plate chargers and glasses.

With a little added webbing, a few scattered black spiders and gold butterflies, add just enough, “spook “

Who’s coming to dinner?

I’ll be serving my Spiced Cider cocktails 🍏🍸

💚A easy test that checks 83 bio markers, and will completely
Change how you take charge of your health.

From my experience, I got my results back in about 5 days, and the report was super easy to understand. It broke everything down — from heart and metabolic health to hormones, immune function, and blood cells. The best part? A healthcare professional actually went over everything with me on Zoom and gave me a personalized plan, not just a bunch of confusing numbers.

I learned so much from this test & my consult, compared to my Doctors visit, for a fraction of the cost. 

I love that I now know what’s going on with my body and I have a plan. A total game changer for me.

✅Easy-to-understand results, reviewed by clinicians
