Treating Mum This Mothers Day

ByLisa Jayne

Mothers Day is a special day to treat your mums and to show them how special they are. I always like to show my mum how much she’s appreciated, but this year is extra special, 5 months ago mum had her stroke, and we’re all amazed with her progress. After giving us all such a horrible fright at the time it’s made us appreciate mum even more, so this Mothers Day I decided to treat her to more than her usual card and chocolates.



Of course Mothers Day isn’t complete without presents! Mum always appreciates a nice box of chocolates, and Hotel Chocolat always have some lovely selections, so I picked up one of their ‘For My Mum’ boxes. Hotel Chocolat has some of mum’s favourites, and mine, so I’m hoping mum might share a few with me! Everyone always likes to receive nice smellies, so I picked up a set from Sanctuary made up of a shower gel, body lotion and body scrub, they all smell amazing. I like to get mum a few girly bits too, and this Bonmarche scarf and floral print umbrella stood out to me as they looked really cute. Plus mum loves pink, so you can’t go wrong with pink accessories!










In the past year mum’s lost a lot of weight. She’s looking fabulous and has a whole new form of confidence with how she looks. As she’s looking amazing I thought it would be nice to treat her to a new dress, and picked this one from Bonmarche. Mum loves maxi dresses, especially for when she goes on her holidays, so I thought this one would be perfect. Usually mum wears more colourful clothes, but the tribal print panel really breaks up the black and gives a lovely silhouette look. My mums a bit on the short side at 5ft so usually maxi dresses are far too long for her and she has to take them up, but this one fit’s her perfectly, and the empire line sits in the right place. Although if it was on someone slightly taller it might not fit how it’s supposed to. Mums really pleased with her new dress, and I’m really pleased that she likes it, we just need the summer to come around so she can wear it all the time!
Now when I take mum out for her Mothers Day dinner she’s got an excuse to wear her new dress. How are you treating your mum this Mothers Day?

    For the past couple of years I’ve heard great things about Moroccanoil. My hairdresser would rave about it, I’d see other bloggers and YouTubers rave about it, but I was yet to try it. For a long time I didn’t understand how using oil cold help my hair. Surely it would make it manky and…

    NOTD – Feeling Blue

    Recently I’ve been feeling a little ‘blue’. I’m missing a lot of my uni life, the friends I made there, my boyfriend, and the general freedom of uni life away from home. If any of you follow me on Twitter you probably know this. For that reason I decided to mix two of my nail…

    I’m the sort of person who likes to put sleep as my highest priority, so on days I’ve got work I choose the option to sleep more than spend longer getting ready for work. And as I’ve been working a lot lately I’ve not been wearing a great deal of make up. So I thought…

    I swear all I’m blogging about lately is Christmas – I can’t help it, it’s my favourite time of the year! The lovely Jess from Lovely Jubbly tagged me in her Christmas tag, and well it would be rude to not join in!   1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s? It’s A Wonderful Life. No idea…

    One thing you won’t find much about on this blog is about blushers. I’ve never been blushers biggest fan, and it’s only about 3 years ago I even started wearing them. My worry is because I’m really pale, most colours look really obvious on me, and I prefer blusher that’s a little more subtle that…
