The mommas I know are selfless.. They hardly get anything for themselves, especially with the things they want. They would always put us, their children, first. That's why some of them look different now than they did in their #throwback photos. Some of them were once fashionistas, donning cool 70's and 80's outfits. Some are beauty junkies like us who wear uber red lipsticks and winged liner. Now, they'd rather slave themselves to work, stay inside the kitchen to prepare your favorite meal than think of themselves.

And though we try to make her feel special everyday, it's on Mother's Day that we really get into the details of making her feel special... and remind her how beautiful she in our eyes. During Mother's Day, I use to get my mom gifts that I know she wants rather than what I think she needs. Gifts that are otherwise, she wouldn't get for herself. Small things that she would linger on inside a mall, or on a magazine.. even an AVON catalog.

This year, Avon has compiled some really awesome gift suggestions that I know my mom would love if she were here with us. I'd probably get her a gift bag containing some of the things I know she would enjoy.

I'd get her a new bottle of perfume. Far Away seems like an interesting scent, the sweet sultry vanilla scents seems right for my mom. Then, I'd get her a pair of lipstick from the Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick, one for day and another for night. I'm thinking Warm Berry and Smooth Plum. She loved anything whitening for the skin, so I'm sure to get the Anew 360 degree White Intensive Serum. My mom was not into eye makeup, she considered herself too old to learn, but that wouldn't have stopped me from getting her Avon's SuperShock Mascara, just so she'd have her own.

Lastly, I'd get her the Body Illussion High Waist Control Brief. She was very conscious of her tummy back then, but I doubt she'd get this for herself so I'm definitely grabbing one for her so she wouldn't feel so bad about her bulges.. And for something sparkly there's the Dear Mom Necklace for her to remember this day. I'd give her this gift bag after an intimate Mother's Day dinner at her favorite restaurant.

But that can't happen now. So for you out there who still have their moms with them to celebrate Mother's Day, get her something that she wants, something she'd been hinting on. Don't waste this special moment to make her feel loved and to make her feel beautiful.

To all the mommas out there, Happy Happy Mother's Day!!
