  1. Luxury Mother's Day Gift 

Clive Christian Perfume

Nothing says I love you more than a Perfume. Each scent settles uniquely on the wearer, reminding them of the person or time when they were given the gift; this is why Clive Christian perfumes are my no. 1 ultimate cruelty free Luxury Mother's Day Gift.  None of their products are tested on animals, making them perfect for any individual moving towards a more ethical life. Clive Christian are the ultimate when it comes to luxury perfume, and well worth checking out.  If your mum isn't in need of another perfume; then I'd recommended having a look at their scented candles, which would be amazing as part of a DIY pamper set; you could get creative, putting together a pamper basket filled with face masks, nail varnish, body wash and some dairy free chocolates.

I love receiving perfume, and it's the one thing I will splash out and treat myself to. So whether you are looking to buy a gift, or even fancy treating yourself, have a look at what they have to offer. 

(None of Clive Christian products are tested on animals & the only animal derivatives they use are 'Beeswax Absolute and Hyraceum Absolute' Check the ingredients of the perfume you wish to purchase to ensure you are purchasing one in line with your lifestyle, and ethical views.) 

2. Charitable Mothers Day Gift

Sponsor a Child Action Aid

This is a gift for the mum who has everything. There is no better feeling than knowing that money that would have gone on something you dont need, has gone to someone whose life could completely change because of it. With ActionAid putting women and children at the center of their work, this is the perfect charity to support for Mothers Day, and is the ultimate ethical gift. 

3. The Gift of Serenity 

Ginger, Lemongrass and Neroli Room Mist 

Everyone needs the gift of serenity from time to time, and this room mist is the perfect way to give someone just that. With a mix of Lemongrass, Ginger and Neroli (all of my mums favorite scents rolled into one spray). The Citrus and Lemongrass will 'Energize your mind' whilst the Neroli helps to 'restore your emotions and soothe away stress'. Any busy mum would be so grateful to receive this gift, especially knowing they are breathing in the fresh scent of natural, cruelty free ingredients- no nasties here!

4. The Gift for a Culinary Queen

Mummy Bear, Daddy Bear, Baby Bear Spoon Set 

This set is ideal for any foodie, not to mention its the cutest spoon set ever. The three silver plated spoons are hand stamped to say 'mummy bear, daddy bear, and baby bear (you can even add extra if there is more than one child in the family) like the nursery rhyme 'Goldie Locks & The Three Bears. These spoons are really a keepsake that represent family and a love of food. Honestly, I think every family needs these in their kitchen.

5. Gift from the Heart 

Entwined Heart Earrings made from Recycled Brass

The perfect way to show someone how much you love them is to give jewelry in the shape of a heart...or three. These drop earrings are so subtle and delicate, with three entwined hearts, made from recycled brass, making them the perfect jewelry choice for an ethical gift. 

6. For the Meditative Spirit

The Well being Journal (in collaboration with Mind) 

Developed in partnership with MIND the mental health charity, this journal combines creativity and the opportunity for reflection, through activities, colouring, drawing and quotes. Its the perfect way to enjoy practicing mindfulness wherever you are, and an amazing present to give any mum who loves mindfulness and improving mental well being through reading, writing, and creating.

The Body Shop Vitamin E range is so well loved and rightly so. A mattifying facial moisturiser is perfect for any mum on the go, and in need of a product that leaves her skin left feeling moisturised, softened and cooled, whilst its mattifying effect enables foundation to hold and stay all day.

Who do you wear make up for? Motivational Monday #3

The other day I was watching this video by Zanna Van Dijk and honestly if you havent checked out her videos then you need to they are amazing! In the video Zanna was talking about learning to love herself and finally feeling like she doesnt need to wear make up which I think is so important for us girls in modern society...we should never feel like we have to wear make-up!

This then got me thinking about why I wear make up and furthermore, who I wear make up for. I concluded that the reason I wear make-up is that it makes me feel good. I am obsessed with finding new brands and products and finding new ways of doing my make up, (reducing the amount of brands that test on animals in my collection, is a huge one for me right now). I feel ready for the day when I have applied make-up and a red lip always makes me feel like I can conquer the world. 

However, I feel just as comfortable when I am not wearing make-up I will happily go for a run with no make up on my face what so ever and then go shopping afterwards, just as if its a sunday and I need something from the shop for one of my Sunday bakes I will happily walk up to the shop with no make up. I have no worries letting people in my flat see me with no make up on at night and in the mornings either.

I feel that wearing make-up in this way is healthy for me (and im in no way suggesting that my way is the best way). I feel happy that without thinking about it I wear make up for myself and no one else because I enjoy the process of choosing the products and playing with looks.

I definitely wasnt always this confident and used to wear concealer over any blemish when I was younger and apply a small amount of mascara, even going to the gym, as I didnt feel I looked old enough and wanted to look grown up. 

After many years of people exclaiming over the fact I look about 8 years younger than I actually am I am totally used to this now and really couldn't care less! 

 I would be really interested to hear other peoples thoughts on this matter and to motivate you to consider: why do you wear make up or not wear make up, and who do you wear it for?
