Mother’s Day is today, and you haven’t gotten your mom a present yet. Don’t worry loves, I got you covered for some ideas. Here are my tried, tested and true gifts to get your mama’s:

T3 Micro
This convertible hair styler is honestly the bomb dot com! Does anyone even say that anymore? But you catch my drift. I’ve gone through so many different hair tools, and by far this is my most favourite one. It gets hot super fast, which makes styling easier and saves you time to focus on other things. Like your sweet children who get you the best gifts ever! Hehe. This set can change into any barrel, depending on the look you’re going for. Where to buy: Nordstrom / The Bay
House Slippers
The amount of times my mom has lost her house slippers is just nuts! Misplacing them, or someone put them under some random bed. They can never have enough. So invest in some cute cozy ones, and hey, maybe even get her more than one.
Where to buy: La Vie En Rose / La Senza / Wal-Mart
Make-up
Everyone loves to get make-up! It’s a matter of getting the right one for her skin type. The below links will take you to my favourite make-up brands that don’t sit inside happy lines, but instead treat them while they camouflage. Did you see my Instagram stories of the cute Quo Cosmetics sets? Such a perfect gift idea.

Mothers Day, the weather was beautiful and the city was alive with events galore!

I had a baseball game to attend with friends from IBM and GNC later in the afternoon, so I planned to surprise her with flowers and cake first. I got to the door and just as I was adjusting my purse to knock on the door, my mom opens the door, on her way out to run some errands. I was caught off guard so I barely made it to saying..“Su su su SURPRISE!”

My mom’s reaction, shocked, “Oh wow!! How did you get here?!”

I love moments like this. When everything lines up beautifully, to bring a smile to someone’s face.
I immediately noticed her outfit and guided her back into the house, telling her she needs to get ready for her special day! Moms are always busy taking care and doing things for others that frequently they forget themselves. It’s their children, family and friends’ job to remind them to either look after themselves or to just do it for them. That’s love.

After some giggles and catch up time with my family and a moment to enjoy this perfect pre-game snack..

I made my way to the Rogers Center.

On this lovely day every women who attended the game received a pink rose, to mark Mother’s Day! They also had a section where they were giving free manicures, pedicures and more.

We had seats in the TD Comfort Clubhouse area and I enjoyed taking a break and moving to seats in the dining area for lunch. We could still see the field from our table. The lunch was great! The desserts were impeccable. They had s’mores bread pudding (insert drool)

Close to the end of the game a ball came flying towards our section, and as much as I would love to say I caught it (so cliché) it fell into our section and no one had any idea where it rolled too. So I checked under my seat and there it was! Rolled and stopped right under me. Meant to be!

After the game I made my way back to my mama’s place, spent time with our family and then was on my way, bearing gifts, to see my other mom (my mother in-law). Whom I love so much with all my heart!
