With Mama’s Day around the corner it’s easy to slip into old patterns—a bouquet of roses from 1-800-Flowers, brunch at that little place she likes, a scarf that brings out her eyes. Maybe you’ll mix it up with a bottle of floral bubble bath. Bo-ring. This year, skip the expected and arm your mother with the good stuff—the tools to pamper herself in organic style. If mi madre plays her cards right this year, she’ll be the recipient of one of these decadent, natural gifts (no preservatives, no synthetic fragrances, etc.):
Jurlique Rose Body Care Gift Set. Instead of watching them wilt on her desk, your mama will be treated to months of rose-scented (only organic essential oils here) indulgence.
Tsi-La’s Eau de Parfum Mini Collection. Chanel N5 may have been her scent for years, but it’s never to late to introduce her to a world of fragrance that’s actually made from substances found in nature (essential oils, plant botanicals and the like) as opposed to those found in a laboratory.
Aromatherapy Bath from Dr. Hauschka. No more sickly sweet bubble bath for your mama. From now on she will bathe only in water enhanced with biodynamically harvested essential oils. Lemon and Rosemary are uplifting and invigorating, but the New Yorker in me is partial to Lavender—stress relieving and relaxing.
