Guys, we’ve almost made it through April!
And you know what that means – Mother’s Day. The day we celebrate all the moms. And while hanging flower baskets, making brunch reservations, and buying massage gift cards are all well and nice, here are a few other items I would like to propose for consideration. Please review and get back to me with your comments by EOD.
Oh brother, I have been working too much.
I know what you’re thinking, it’s a bath mat. But this one IS SO PRETTY. I would love it if someone gave me this bath mat. It gives Diptyque vibes.
I have made a few photobooks in my day and lemme tell ya – this one is by far the best. Pictured above is the 8.5 x 8.5″ Classic Square Premium Leather with Matte Dust Jacket and it was an absolutely joy to put together. The website is super easy to use and they offer tons of different layouts, themes, fonts, and colors to choose from.
I’ve always known Demeter Fragrances to come out with some, let’s just say, interesting scents. Take for example, Dirt, Paperback (although I do love the smell of an old library book), and Earthworm. However, this scent in Watermelon Blossom is spring perfection. It is freshy, juicy, and offers just a hint of soft florals. Another option that I truly love is the Vanilla Cake Batter scent, because who doesn’t want to smell like a snack?
Soo’AE skincare has proven to be effective, nourishing, and best of all – easy on the wallet. This kit features some of their newest products from the black charcoal collection.
I also highly recommend the phyto-collagen products, especially the shampoo.
K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask
Perfect for anyone with damaged hair, this leave-in mask is supposed to be superior to the ever-popular Olaplex and comes highly recommended by my famous sister-in-law (check her out on IG!). While it is quite spendy, the results apparently speak for themselves.

Arze plant-based skincare is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and sustainable. It is handcrafted in small batches in the USA and is a woman-owned business. This serum aids in the body’s production of collagen and helps to reduce hyper pigmentation (YES PLEASE). I have been using it for a few weeks now and have been very impressed – not oily or sticky, it sinks nicely into the skin and does not clog pores.
They have an extensive offering of products, including face masks, oils, perfume, and body sprays. Right now, you can use code MOMLOVE for 30% off until May 11th.
Who doesn’t want a pair of super comfy summer slides? I do not personally own these yet, but it is just a matter of time. I have been a ride-or-die Adidas Comfort Slide for years but these babies could turn me. As long as they don’t make my already large feet appear even larger, I am totally down.
Speaking of Diptyque…you all know I am not one to regularly endorse $80 candles, but this one is just so special. Look at the color and design! The notes are white flowers, lemon and mint. COME ON. And really, what says “I love you mom” more than an $80 candle?
I mean…how “sweet” is this?! Three delicious boxes of candy packaged in a beautiful rainbow-shaped box? I feel like this is superior to a box of chocolates, although maybe not a box of See’s Candies. Those have a special place in my heart.
What are you getting for the mom in your life?
