SHOWER HER WITH COLOUR THIS MOTHER'S DAY.

My goodness. It's already May. Where is the time going. May means Mother's Day. Purchases of perfumery, jewellery, pyjamas, dressing gowns, slippers, flowers (yellow, pink and white chrysanthemums) mugs, chocolate, love song cd's and vouchers to beauty salons are frantically being made ......... ummmmm........... the day before. I bet you are guilty of that. I'm usually this 'last minute' person, but sure enough I am a little more organised this year and have made my purchase for my mama.You still have 4 more shopping days peeps to get yourself organised.

May means Mother's Day and that means CHRYSANTHEMUMS

Why must the typical "Mother's Day" presents be purchased year after year. Me personally, I enjoyed my children making me little crafty gifts at school when they were younger. That doesn't happen anymore :-( .

Only today my son who is 16, suggested he may buy me the new Mercedes Benz perfume, cause it might make me smell like a care!!!!! What the?????? I have a vision of me smelling like engine oil for some reason.

Mums usually put themselves last. We are good like that. LOL. Never enough time to make ourselves look pretty, take care of our skin, do our hair or even apply simple make up. I'm constantly hearing women state that they wished they knew how to apply make up PROPERLY. Unfortunately, it isn't a skill we are born with - well the majority anyway. Make up application is a learned skill. And I don't mean the Kim Kardashian wanna-bees who think contouring is the be all end all.

If you are stuck for ideas, here is one - Get them a make up lesson from participating beauty counters or make up counters. They usually go for about 1 hr to 3 hrs, in which a step by step demonstration is shown. This won't make them make up artists, but it will give them some confidence in choosing the appropriate colours and techniques. Trust me, she will love you for it.

If you don't think she would enjoy this, then invest in quality make up for her. A gift voucher is always handy so that she can be correctly colour matched. Don't be shy to ask at the beauty counters either. If all else fails, grab her a nice lipstick. You may not be able to afford to buy her a CHANEL bag (I'm still waiting.....) so try getting her a CHANEL lipstick. Style and quality all in one little package. After all, its the thought that counts.

If my children are reading this, I would be happy with the CHANEL bag. Please and thank you.

Here is a picture kids....... just saying!!!!

So to all the mums out there reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day being spoilt. Breakfast in bed should include wine. It's that one day each year that we are being celebrated for being a mum, grandmother, step-mum and role model.
