Mother’s Day Gift Guide

Mother’s Day is almost here and I am sharing some gift ideas for the moms in your life! These are all things I would want for myself and true and tried products!

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

I love Eberjey pajamas - they are so soft and comfortable. I buy them for myself and I definitely think they are a perfect gift, especially for Mother's Day.

The Nodpod Weighted Blanket For Your Eyes sounds so great! It just rests on your face and it is supposed to provide a very restful sleep! It is on my wishlist! Same as the Self-Heating Mug Set - it keeps your coffee hot! I think mothers most definitely need this since the mornings are quite busy! I am on a current iced coffee kick, but I wouldn't say no to this if I got it as a gift!

When it comes to a bag, totes are by far my favorites because I carry plenty of things for my daily runs and work days. The Tote Bag by Marc Jacobs and the Proenza Schouler are so good! They would be perfect for a diaper bag as well for new moms! Or everyday bags for anything needed!

The pink dresses are so cute! I love the Aqua pink dress (bonus it is less than $50!) and everything from Loveshack is on my wishlist! They have so many floral options for the spring/summer season!

The Jo Malone Miniature Candle 5-Piece Set smells so good, you do not even have to light them! I actually received this as a gift and I thought it was a great idea!

Finally, the Mason Lue Digital Picture Frame is a great idea for grandmothers! It automatically displays digital photos and it adjusts with the ambiance lighting - I thought that was a great innovation! All gift ideas are linked here.

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

Cuyana has been in my wishlist for such a long time now, but I have not gotten anything yet. I have heard a lot of good things about their leather bags and accessories! The System Tote and the System Laptop Sleeve are two of the products I like the most - totes are my go to bags and I always carry my laptop with me, so the laptop sleeve sounds a MUST. The dresses are so simple, elegant and chic. I picked a couple of white dresses as you cannot go wrong with a white dress and most people like them. Finally, I cami and sleep shorts look so comfortable to sleep in and lounge at home! All gift ideas are linked here.

My guides have products and clothes to take you from the morning to night and back to the morning! What mother would not want simple and luxurious things for their every day life?!

MATCHING SETS ARE MY NEW GO-TO

I am very late to this game, but I placed an order with SHEIN (I didn't know about SHEIN until two months ago - thank you my dear Ioanna) and I am loving the clothes I got! Especially the matching sets that I got. I can’t wait for the weather in NYC to be warmer!

Here you can find the outfits I am wearing and I’m linking as well many other similar options to choose from. All outfits are very affordable as well!

The blouse snd and pants outfit is perfect for a spring day or summer night. It is very lightweight and can be styled up or down depending on the shoes and bag.

The green shirt and shorts set is very comfortable as well and could be worn as a swim coverup as well as an outfit to run errands in!

My favorite look is the shirt and biker shorts for everyday errands and loungewear. Wear a pair of sneakers and a belt bag and its a very chic and effortless outfit!

Let me know in the comments below which look is your favorite!

MY HAIRCARE ROUTINE

I have an 11 month-old baby, so most mothers out there know about postpartum hair loss and the million of baby hair growing back SLOWLY! I am currently on a track to finally see my hair growing back and I think I have found a routine that is good for my hair.

All the products mentioned here, are linked in here.

I like to wash my hair 3 times a week (I used to wash it every day and I was noticing that I was stripping my hair's natural oils and my hair was actually getting oily faster, so I changed my habits) and I am loving the Kerastase Resistance Shampoo & Conditioner. I found that these products helped reconstruct my hair and I saw my hair growing after a month of using them. I only use a small amount of the conditioner as my hair is thin and sleek already. A tip I have learnt throughout the years is to not use very hot water to wash your hair as it has damaging effects. Hot water strips hair from natural oils and moisture.

After I get out of the shower, I use a couple of different products. I use the Living Proof No Frizz Leave-In Conditioner on wet hair after combing to combat the frizzy hair (hello baby hair) and also to help nourish my hair and help baby hair grow. It was a recommendation from a Sephora associate. I am not confident if that specific product has helped with my hair growth - I am still monitoring the results. Generally, my hair is growing back and stronger, but it may be the result of all the combined products versus only one product. The Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil is an expensive product, but definitely worth the price. It moisturizes my hair and leaves it so soft. I only use the oil on the ends when my hair is wet/damp and it does not weight my hair down at all. I have also been LOVING the honey infused hair perfume by Gisou. It smells so divine and it is a nice addition at the end.

My final step is the Matte Pomade by Ouai - it is the only product that seems to be able to tame my pp baby hair that frizzes. I rub it between my hands to warm it up and apply it lightly on my hair.

OTHER PRODUCTS I USE:

I have been loving the Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density by Ordinary. I use it the night before a wash day, but you do not have to wash your hair after using it. It makes my hair feel healthier.

I use the Wave Spray by Ouai and the Good Behavior when I style my hair in waves with the Dyson Airwrap. The Wave Spray helps maintain the curl and Good Behavior makes my hair silky smooth! My hair type is thin and it is makes it very hard to hold the wavy style. The products I use help but not always. If you have any recommendations, please drop them in the comment section below!

I am experimenting with a few more hair products that are totally new to me and I will report on that soon!

What are your favorite products?
