gift guide, lifestyle
With Mother's Day just around the corner I wanted to create a special "Mindful Mama" gift guide for all the wonderful Mothers out there. It's a day I look forward to every year. My mother is my best friend and life teacher, and without her I would not be the person I am today. When I think of the word "mother", words like self-less, protective, nurturing, honest, caring and endless love come to mind. Being a mother is a true gift and it's what life is all about. When I hear a child say "Mama" I honestly melt ... there are so many emotions behind that word. Every mother out there knows how powerful their existence is to their children ... being a mother is THE superpower. My husband and I are personally hoping to experience this kind of endless love soon. I am a firm believer that the universe has its perfect time for all of us. When that time comes, we will be ready with open arms.
So, this year I wanted to create a special gift guide for all the "Mindful Mamas." The mind is one of the most powerful tools we have, without it we are lost. All the items below are handpicked by me and have a special meaningful purpose/intention behind them. Enjoy my picks and I hope you bless one of your special mamas with one of these oh-so meaningful gifts.
The Journal
I gave this journal to my mom recently. This beautiful journal is special to me because it is filled with pictures of the seasons. My mom always told me "you will have many seasons in your life." Her wise words and lessons have always steered me towards the light.
The Medicine Bag
This one of a kind piece from Shakti Jewelry is called the Medicine Bag. It is the container for spiritual guidance. It is handmade from a local indigenous Cree artists/beader to support her tradition and share the wisdom and power of the medicine bag. This is for the spiritual mamas out there.
The Note
I love handwritten notes. It is an act of kindness that will never go out of style in my book. This card is even more special because it is handmade as well. I suggest giving a handmade love note to your mama this year.
The Body
The body is so important to look after, It's the only vehicle we got. We cannot trade our given vessel so we have to make sure to treat it well. I love this lavender mousse from Osmia Organics. It will make every mama swoon.
The Self-Care
Every mother is always looking after every one else. Shower your mama with some self-care items this year. This Seaweed is a great addition to any Mother's Self-Care routine.
The Taste
Who doesn't love a little chocolate??! Give your mama a taste of love on Mother's Day with this organic treat.
The Body
Most "mindful momas" I know are movers! I love these leggings from Terez because they have so many fun patterns and they make every mama look fly.
