Mother's Day Is May 11th.  Need inspiration? Today is the first in a series of Mother's Day Gift Ideas. With her busy schedule, pampering is just not a high priority. Moms are lucky if they can squeeze in a shower. Mother's Day is the perfect time to make her feel special. Go ahead. Pamper her. 

Roots Rose Radish
I think these Solid Perfume Compacts are so chic. With fragrances like Cedarwood Myrh and Clove , Jasmine and Clary Sage,  Rose Frankincense and Patchouli or Vetiver and Lemongrass. this is something new for most Moms. When in doubt, choose fresh - Vetiver and Lemongrass!
Beauty Habit

iLuminage Skin Rejuvenating Pillowcase 
Give Mom, who is always tired, the gift of "Beauty Sleep." Treated with copper oxide, it is said to improve fine lines and wrinkles in as little as four weeks. Daughter of mine, I would LOVE this!

This ultra luxurious lipstick is the gift of glam. The color "star power" will make her feel just like a star.  Doesn't she deserve this after all of the lip you have given her?

Clarisonic Mia 2 - Vivid Sonic Skin Cleansing System 
One of the best gifts I have ever received.  Everyday can be a Spa Day with this skin pampering set.  An exclusive at

DL And Company Candle Gift Set
If Mom is like me, she doesn't like to see her money go up in smoke. So I save my scented candles for company.  But if someone gifted me, I would certainly LOVE to enjoy the beautiful scents of this set.  I have one of these candles and it is a favorite. Beautifully boxed.
