Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is weeks away so it’s time to get a leg up on how to celebrate the mom in your life.  Here are some gift ideas to start you off.

If you live in Vancouver check out The Urban Tea Merchant’s Mother’s Day Tea Service.  It features a splendid selection of handcrafted tea-infused tea sandwiches, petite savories, and delightfully luscious sweets. Offered in the tea service is an optional sparkling tea cocktail infused with TWG Tea.  Each mom will receive a 50g TWG Tea gift to take away. There is no better way to show your love and appreciation for the most important woman in your life. This special tea service is available from May 10^th to May 12th at The Urban Tea Merchant’s Downtown Vancouver Tea Salon.

If you can’t take your mom for tea, maybe pick her up a tea stash from The Urban Tea Merchant. My favourite tea of the moment is Bain de Roses Tea from TWG Tea.

 

Bain de Roses Tea from TWG Tea

In the month of May, the roses of Grasse come to bloom, enveloping Provence with an incomparable and luxurious perfume. Masterfully blended by TWG Tea, this sensual Darjeeling is a magical union of extraordinary roses and hints of vanilla and sweet spices. Show your gratitude for mother’s feminine touch with this outstanding tea.  You can also couple this tea with the Bain de Roses Tea Scented Candle which will add to a lovely ending to her day.

What lady wouldn’t like a posh eau de parfum on her special day?  I like Penhaligon’s Artemisia Eau de Parfum.

 

Artemisia Eau de Parfum 100ml

Head Notes

Nectarine and Green Foliage

Heart Notes

Green Apple, Lily of the Valley, Jasmine Tea, Violet and Vanilla

Base Notes

Oakmoss, Sandalwood, Musk, Amber and Vanilla

Created in 2002, Artemisia is both floral and fruity with a beautifully sensual powdery dry down. Caramel soft, sweet, powdery and silky. A tumble of green apples and nectarines washed with jasmine tea and sprinkled with a luxurious medley of violet, cyclamen and lily petals. All this softly unfolds with great subtlety surrounded with layers of honeyed vanilla, warm spices, a touch of amber and a hint of musk. Haunting and addictive.

For a gift that will keep giving, consider giving her the latest and greatest book from Kate Atkinson entitled ‘Life After Life’?

Life After Life

by Kate Atkinson

How do writers tell a story? How do they choose the minute details to make time’s arrow chart a straight path? Take a fork in the road, make a mistake, deal with it. Kate Atkinson, who keeps reinventing herself, has created a character who spans Britain’s course through the two “world wars,” who keeps dying and being reborn into the same person, who with each subsequent rebirth retains atavistic cellular memory of past experience, and thus the pageant of history unfolds through the same eyes with differing results. Her family core retains its shape as does her personality, but with each variation there is further insight into life at its moments of indelible change with Ursula at the center. This is a rich, satisfying book that resonates with intelligence, humor and compassion. Atkinson has never let me down — I’ve been reading her since the late ’90′s, and continue to be amazed at her virtuosity.

I like the idea of picking up a cool note card and using your own words to convey why your mom is important to you.   Check out Cath Kidston Mini Notes.

Cath Kidston Mini Notes

These irresistibly petite notes are perfect for dashing off a quick, pocket-sized message or adding a little card to a mother’s day gift.

http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/paper-goods/stationery/notecards/cath-kidston-mini-notes.html

Finally, pop on top of a Cath Kidston mini note card a cool Rimmel London:  Royal Gloss Lip Gloss.  It will sure put a smile on your mom’s face for those on the go days.

Rimmel London:  Royal Gloss Lip Gloss

Rimmel Royal Gloss Delicious Lip gloss is deliciously sweet and fabulously juicy.

Easter Eggs? Nah – pick up a eos Smooth Sphere Organic Lip Balm Duo instead!

 

Get a leg up on your Easter shopping and pick up a eos Smooth Sphere Organic Lip Balm Duo instead of Easter eggs this year.  Who needs more chocolate anyway?  J

• 100% natural, certified organic

• Filled with moisturizing shea butter and jojoba oil

• Soft-touch, ergonomic, recyclable packaging is easy to find in even the largest of bags

• Revolutionary smooth sphere applies directly on lips, so it’s more hygienic than pot lip balms

New Year Beauty Essentials: Malin + Goetz

New Year – new skin care regimen.  My latest love affair is from Malin + Goetz.  A terrific skincare line from New York’s Chelsea neighborhood.   Malin + Goetz makes skincare easy, starting with sensitive skin.  Natural based treatments incorporate gentle technologies for ultimate performance.

My favorite products from Malin + Goetz are their bergamot body wash, grapefruit face cleanser, vitamin e face moisturizer and detox face mask.  A perfect mix to target specific needs.

Malin + Goetz: bergamot body wash.

bergamot body wash.

The foaming cleansing gel synthesizes natural bergamot with amino acid-based cleansing agents. Gently and effectively purifies and balances all skin types, especially sensitive and eczema prone, unlike traditionally harsh detergents. Blended to hydrate, rinsing free of residue without irritation, drying, or stripping; helping to reduce epidermal stress.

I use the bergamot body wash to start me off in the shower.  I find its aromatherapy properties very appealing and the scent is gentle enough it doesn’t hang around all day.  It’s a nice compliment if I forget to put fragrance on in the morning.

select ingredients (+).

Glycerin hydrates. Uplifting bergamot is known to be antiseptic and promote healing.

Malin + Goetz: grapefruit face cleanser.

grapefruit face cleanser.

The foaming cleansing gel synthesizes natural grapefruit extract with amino acid-based cleansing agents.  Unlike traditionally harsh detergents that can be drying, stripping and irritating, this formula gently and thoroughly purifies and hydrates to ph balance all skin types, especially sensitive.  Rinses residue free, eliminating the need for a toner.

I like using this in the shower as a make-up removal solution and toner.  It’s so much easier to take off the day in the shower and again the scent is revitalizing. A lot of work happens whilst in the shower.

select ingredients (+).

Glycerin and sodium pca hydrate.

Grapefruit is known for its naturally cleansing, exfoliating and anti-bacterial properties.

Malin + Goetz: vitamin e face moisturizer.

vitamin e face moisturizer.

The oil-free, residue-free moisturizer scientifically synthesizes natural anti-oxidants vitamins E and B5 and soothing chamomile with absorbent fatty acids.  Gently and effectively hydrates and ph balances all skin types, unlike traditionally greasy pore-clogging oils, for an intensely nourishing treatment, reducing epidermal irritation for the most sensitive of skin.

I have been popping this on before I apply my make up for the day.  My skin looks glowing, rested and nourished under my ‘go to’ make up essentials.  I have also noticed my makeup has been staying on a lot longer than usual with the vitamin e moisturizer.

select ingredients (+).

Glycerin and sodium pca hydrate. Hyaluronic acid and vitamins e and b5 nourish.  Allantoin, chamomile, and milk soothe and calm.

Malin + Goetz: detox face mask.

detox face mask.

An easy five minute foaming gel mask: Innovative, oxygenating cleansing agents replace harsh detergents and drying clays to deep-pore-cleanse, lifting dirt, oil and make-up away from the skin without irritation, while creating a physical barrier to seal hydration. Complex amino acids and natural almond extract gently and effectively purify, clarify, balance and soothe. Stable Vitamin C, anti-oxidant Vitamin E and Soy Protein help firm and address concerns for aging.

Sunday is my usual face mask day.  The detox face mask has been helpful thus far as my skin transitions from summer’s humidity into the dry cold weather of the winter.  My skin feels skin kissed and balanced just with one detox face mask application.  The dry patches have disappeared.  Miracle mask indeed.

select ingredients (+).

Squalene, glycerin, and sodium pca moisturize and hydrate; soy protein and panthenol firm; green tea extract and vitamin e work as anitoxidants; vitamin c smoothes lines.

The “Hidden” Mickey Ears on the sphere product is sleek but also cool enough for adults to kids.  My 6 year old niece, Leanne is a huge fan.   I gave her a Sweet Vanilla Nonsense and Watermelon Wonderland flavours.  She tells me the lip balm is ‘magical’ and ‘nothing she has ever seen before’.  This girl is a product fan in the making.

I’m keen on popping the ‘Blueberry Potion’ flavour on when I wake up in the morning and on my way home from work.  A little gloss to get you going and get you home looking fresh and moisturized is where it’s at.

Penhaligon’s: Ellenisia Eau De Parfum 50 ml

Penhaligon’s: Ellenisia Eau De Parfum 50 ml

Time to change up my winter scent.  I was using Penhaligon’s Bluebell earlier this year, now I’m onto her sister fragrance, Ellenisia.

Head Notes

Mandarin Zest and Violet Leaf

Heart Notes

Gardenia, Rose, Tuberose and Jasmine

Base Notes

Plum Nectar and Vanilla

Created in 2004, Ellenisia is an extravagant floral with armfuls of heady white blooms wrapped in swathes of sweet plum and vanilla. As the green shock of the violet and mandarin settle you can close your eyes and just picture the bouquets of gardenia, jasmine and tuberose; a tumble of scented petals. Then the slow simmering sugared plums appear, whipped through with sweet and creamy vanilla. Elegant and utterly magical.

Penhaligon’s scents are made in England using the finest rare ingredients; from hand-squeezed bergamot, to jasmine at twice the price of gold. Our signature Penhaligon’s fragrance bottle is to William Penhaligon’s original design: clear glass with a distinctive ribbon-wrapped top. 

Sugared plums, whipped sweet creamy vanilla, don’t these scents invoke ‘The Nutcracker’ ballet or better yet the ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas’ story?

This is the perfect go to scent for the holidays – it’s simple, yet dramatic enough to dress up for a work holiday party or better yet a family evening in over some scrumptious food and drink.

I love changing up my scents over the holidays – it’s keeps new goals fresh in my mind, provides a renewed appreciation of my life and a reminder to take time to smell the roses and other flower scents that Penhaligon’s has to offer me as I skate around town, work away at my desk and look forward to my time off with friends and family in two weeks’ time.

It’s a good life. 

If you are in Canada and are looking to purchase Penhaligon’s – I suggest purchasing it from http://www.etiket.ca/.  You will save on the duty and most importantly the shipping.  Santa?  Did you hear me?

Stocking Stuffers from Evolution of Smooth (eos)

My latest product addiction is from Evolution of Smooth (eos).  A few months back, I saw a girl on the subway in Toronto applying a lip-gloss using a sphere.  I was intrigued and typically I had to jump of the subway at the next stop without asking her where she got it from.

I guarantee ladies and gents, put this product on your holiday list for stocking stuffers and the receiver will be blown away.  For $3.99 a piece I suggest buying multiple pieces for your loved ones.  Honestly, there is nothing like it in design and functionality on the market.

The three products I want to highlight are eos’:

Lip Balm Smooth Sphere

Everyday Hand Lotion

Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream

eos Lip Balm Smooth Sphere

eos Lip Balm Smooth Sphere

Originally released as a limited edition flavor for Holiday 2011, eos’ Lip Balm Smooth Sphere in Strawberry Sorbet has become a permanent addition to the eos product line.  The eos Lip Balm Smooth Sphere is USDA-certified organic and 100% natural lip balm.  It is also enriched with nourishing shea butter and soothing jojoba oil, petrolatum-free, paraben-free, gluten-free and not tested on animals.

What I loved about the eos Lip Balm Smooth Sphere is that the smooth sphere applies directly on lips, so it’s more hygienic than pot lip balms.  I love that I can find it easily in my purse when I’m on the go and the gloss lasted for hours.  The winter can be harsh on our lips and the eos Lip Balm Smooth Sphere has already proven to keeping my lips moist.  You can find the eos Lip Balm Smooth Sphere at Loblaws, Chapters/Indigo, Sobeys and Walmart. $3.99.  I gave this to my 6 year old niece to pop into her school backpack and she has stated she loves it!

eos Everyday Hand Lotion

eos Everyday Hand Lotion

Infused with moisturizing shea butter and oat extract, as well as a generous helping of natural antioxidants, essential nutrients and vitamins C and E.  The eos Everyday Hand Lotion will leave your skin feeling soft, supple and healthy long after you apply it.

What I loved about the eos Everyday Hand Lotion is that it is 97% natural everyday and cucumber formulas work on normal to dry skin, it is a paraben-free formula and contains Aloe, Oat and Vitamin E & C.  I have popping this product on my arms and legs before bed too.  The scent is delicious and aromatic.  This is also a great Hand Lotion to keep in your desk at work if the office soap is drying your skin out.  You can find the eos Everyday Hand Lotion at London Drugs, Chapters/Indigo and RW&Co.  $3.99.

eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream

eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream

Packed with natural aloe, oat, shea butter and antioxidant vitamins E and C, the eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream leaves your skin like you just came back from a hot steam or spa treatment.

What I loved about the eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream is that I could shave wet or dry, the non-foaming cream formula boosts skin’s moisture level and left my skin soft and smooth, the soft-touch ergonomic plastic bottle was easy to hold in the bath, it was also rust-free and recyclable (not like those cans the boys use).  My favourite fragrances are the Pomegranate Raspberry and Vanilla Bliss.  I don’t know of any other products on the market with a Pomegranate scent in shave cream.  For that reason alone, you should check it out.  You can find the eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream at London Drugs, Shopper’s Drugmart, Rexall, Safeway Pharmacy, Sobeys and Uniprix. $3.99.

Stay tuned in a week’s time!  I have a surprise giveaway from eos for 10 of my readers.  Sign up for my blog now so you don’t miss it!

TOCCA Beauty Essentials

Who doesn’t want to smell luscious and have beautifully moisturized kissed skin to complement our holiday’s outfits?

TOCCA is a fantastic line available at Anthropologie or online at http://www.tocca.com/.  TOCCA emanates romance, beauty, luxury and most of all decadence.  Using and wearing this line makes me feel sexy and confident, having these pieces on my dresser demonstrates to my gf’s that I pamper myself on a daily basis.  Isn’t that the way it should always be? 

My two favourite TOCCA essentials of the moment are the Profumo Solido (0.15oz) in Florence and the Esfoliante da Corpo Nourishing Body Scrub in Giulietta. 

Profumo Solido (0.15oz)

Profumo Solido (0.15oz) is a new extension of TOCCA’s fine fragrance line comes in the form of a solid perfume.  Each 0.15 oz perfume is packaged in a gold decorated compact and housed in a gold foil designed box.  From its whimsical packaging to the already adored scents- it is perfect for travel and anyone on the go!

The Profumo Solido goes on smooth.  There is no left over residue to smear your clothing and I found the scent lasted all day.  I have been keeping the Profumo Solido in my work purse when I need a lil splash of scent to get me to a hang out with friends after work or as a touch up after booking it from home to work if I forget to add a scent in the a.m..  The Profumo Solido is as much soothing as it is subtle.

Florence Top note:  Bergamot, Drenched Green Pear

Middle note: Ivory Gardenia, Jasmine Petals, Tuberose, Iris

Bottom note: White Musk, Spiced Woods

Esfoliante da Corpo Nourishing Body Scrub

My shower luxury is the Esfoliante da Corpo Nourishing Body Scrub (7 oz/ 200 g) in Giulietta.  TOCCA’s gently moisturizing, sugar-based body scrub contains crushed olive granules to delicately exfoliate dry skin.  Rich in natural oils, the luxurious formula boasts the emollient and healing properties of olive oil, safflower oil and grape seed oil that leave the skin feeling soft, supple and delicately scented. Paraben Free.

In my experience some scrubs leave a grainy and coarse residue after applied and showered away.  In the past I have felt tiny granules left over from a scrub even the following day.  Sure it’s nice to feel exfoliated but without the souvenir remnants of a product.

I found the Esfoliante da Corpo Nourishing Body Scrub to be one of the best on the market.  It’s beautifully packaged, a lil of the scrub indeed goes along way, its smells divine and most importantly I found the scent to last all day.

My favourite Esfoliante da Corpo Nourishing Body Scrub is called Giulietta.  The scent emanates Pink Tulip and Green Apple.  The quote from TOCCA about this scrub reads ‘The love story of Italian director Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina comes alive in this sweet, floral scent reminiscent of their Corsican honeymoon. Sweet green apple and blooming pink tulips whisper to their never-ending love affair.’

If you are looking to pick up some neat products for the lady in your life for the holidays – try TOCCA’s Esfoliante da Corpo Nourishing Body Scrub and Profumo Solido. Or better yet if you are making a list for yourself to give to Santa, pop one or both of these items down. J

Rahua Voluminous Shampoo and Conditioner

Since the Fall is fast approaching I like to change up my shampoo and conditioner to provide for the change in weather.  I was sent a sample of Rahua Voluminous Shampoo and Conditioner to try.  Talk about feeling like I just walked out of a salon even though it’s been  August since my last haircut. 

The Rahua Voluminous Shampoo and Conditioner cleanses to create body and bounce without the drying effects found in other volumizing lines and is safe for color-treated hair. Rich with organic and 100% natural ingredients. I encourage you to begin the day with aroma therapeutic lavender and eucalyptus to calm and relax your senses.

Lemongrass and Green tea create body, volume and bounce by balancing and removing excess oils from the hair shaft, without compromising the integrity of the hair.

Citric juices break down oils extending time between washes.

Ungurahua oil is rich in Omega-9 and helps to restore, heal, moisturize and strengthen hair follicles and shaft, resulting in stronger, healthier hair.

Jojoba adds moisturizing properties and nourishment to the hair.

*The Rahua Voluminous Conditioner is a double duty hair beautifier, use when styling to add control and prevent frizz.

The Rahua Voluminous Shampoo and Conditioner 275 ml’s are pricing between $32.00 and $34.00 at wwwetiket.ca.  A bit pricey?  Perhaps.  But not at all for the quality.  Consider all the product you get pressured into buying after a salon visit and never use?  For the price point that Rahua offer, you will be guaranteed luxe looking salon type hair for days of its run in your beauty regimen.  I only used a small amount of shampoo and conditioner for over a month and a little certainly went a long way for the investment.  I’m looking forward to keeping this up during the fall and winter.  This duo will certainly keep me rejuvenated, volumized and pumped up for the last few months of 2012.

I encourage you to purchase the Rahua Voluminous Shampoo and Conditioner from www.etiket.ca.

The Perfect Mud Mask: GlamGlow Mud Mask

Tonight is the Emmy’s and this girl is working but last night I had my own lil Emmy’s overhaul at home.  I just sipped tea, watched ‘Wallander’ and popped a GlamGlow Mud Mask on to prep my skin for the week.

My mom taught me from a young age to apply mud masks to soothe my pores and deep clean left over residue from the week.  I have been bouncing from mud masks to herbal masks for years and have yet to find one that did a smash up job.  My aim was to always find a mask that felt like it was ‘working’ whilst on my face as I lounged.

I found my mask in GlamGlow Mud Mask.  It is an exfoliant mud mask made with volcanic rock, French sea clay and green tea leaf pieces originally designed for Hollywood’s entertainment, music, fashion and award industries for camera-ready soft glowing skin.  If you check out GlamGlow Mud Mask’s twitter page you will find pictures from celebs like Miley Cyrus to Nina Dobrev rocking this mask bringing perfection like results.

When I applied the mask last night it was smooth and thick.  After the first application to my forehead I could feel a tingling while the gorgeous green tea leaves and earthy aroma immediately relaxed me.  I wish I could have smeared it all over my whole body.  Imagine having this done in a spa ladies?  It would put you back some major coin. 

The mud when dried is easy to wipe off using a face cloth.  My skin felt illuminated, smooth, soft, exfoliated, brightened and moisturized once I removed the mask.  The only tricky thing is grabbing all the lil green tea leaves before they go down the drain.  Small price to pay for a deluxe spa like experience in your own home.

I would encourage you to have a spa night with your girls or even apply this mask before heading off for Thanksgiving and even Christmas parties. 

Where can you find the GlamGlow Mud Mask line?  I encourage you to purchase GlamGlow Mud Mask from http://www.etiket.ca.  

Who is Etiket?  Etiket are a luxury retail destination providing the best in cosmeceuticals, skincare and beauty products as well as exclusive perfumes and accessories including a range of unsurpassed aesthetic services.  Etiket carries the full GlamGlow Mud Mask line and the prices are affordable.

Thank you to the lovely folks at Etiket, I am giving away one large container of the GlamGlow Mud Mask to one of my lucky readers, retail value of $78!  All you need to do is sign up to my blog before Oct 13, 2012.  For those of you already signed up to my blog, consider yourself already entered!  Happy GlamGlow time!
