Mother’s Day

April 25th, 2013: What You Need to Know in 60 Seconds. Exhale Mind Body Spa, Missoni, Versace and DVF

25 April 2013

You know how some people love/hate Valentine’s Day? That’s exactly how I feel about Mother’s Day. Don’t get me wrong. I love my mother, but she lives in Europe and gets celebrated on March 8th. Which brings up my next point. I kind of like how the European version of the holiday takes a more inclusive approach to celebrating all women on that day. What if we don’t have children? Are we not worthy of being celebrated? Thank you, Hallmark, for reminding me every year how imperfect my life is. Have I mentioned that this year my birthday falls exactly on Mother’s Day? Yeah, I know — I need something to cheer me up.

Starting April 25th at 11 a.m. at RueLaLa.com: Exhale Mind Body Spa

Why?

From time to time, we all need some “me” time and this is certainly the place to feel like a million bucks. Check out their classes too. They are famous for them.

Starting April 25th at 3 p.m. at RueLaLa.com: Luxe Gifts for Mom – Missoni, Versace and More

Why?

Why? Because you’ll find buttery soft satchels, belts, umbrellas and scarves from famous Italian designers that’d make any ~~mother~~ woman smile.

Starting April 25th at 12 p.m. at Gilt.com: DVF Ready-To-Wear, Glasses, Handbags, etc.

Why?

The legend behind the brand is a woman responsible for saying “feel like a woman, wear a dress.” DVF has also inspired a new generation of young designers with her sexy, powerful designs.

Ladies, let’s celebrate ourselves for what we are. Mothers or not — and regardless of race or religion — we do face an uphill battle here and everywhere in the world. Let’s try to help each other to the top.
