Treat Yourself to a Post Mother's Day Gift

We all have a personal wishlist and there is no better time to treat ourselves than after Mother's Day.

By now, those Mother's Day flowers are wilting, or at least they need fresh water. Gifts for Mother's Day are always some of my favorite ones to receive from my grandkids. I love handmade, sentimental gifts and enjoy when they come from the heart.

But here's the thing, Moms don't always do the best job relaying gift ideas. I know I have given my fair share of the response: "don't buy me anything,"  or "I don't care," when asked.

So make your own wish list if you don't already have one. It makes it much easier on our loved ones who would appreciate some useful gift ideas for the next gift giving occasion.

While you are at it, go ahead and take the opportunity to purchase something for yourself off that wishlist. Whether it's a new pair of sunglasses or a fresh pair of sandals for summer, you surely have something you would like to have just for you.

Many moms put themselves last when it comes to purchasing personal items. Instead you make children, grandchildren, spouses, and others have what they want and move yourself to the bottom of the list.

Change that by agreeing to purchase yourself a cool gift after Mother's Day each year.

We can ban together and make it a whole thing!

Moms deserve to have at least one day off of mom duty, and if I'm being honest, it should happen more than once per year.

If you don't want to purchase something tangible from your wishlist, at least make an appointment this week for a facial, massage, or mani-pedi. (Those are some of my favorite gifts to receive, by the way).

I thought it would be fun to share with you some items on my own personal wish list as well as some items I personally own and recommend.

Can you guess what I might be treating myself to this month for post-Mother's Day?

This year I have discovered James Michelle Jewelry and have had a huge wishlist. I did purchase myself the Lava Frame Ring as a replacement for a similar ring that I lost. It is so comfortable and I get lots of compliments.

They have a great semi-precious "forever gold" collection along with fine jewelry. Check out some of my favorites here:

I still have these Diff Bella Black polarized sunnies in my favorite sunglasses collection.  They are smooth and will stay up on your head and not pull your hair (if you know you know). They are the perfect size for any face in my opinion and I love mine.

Also, Diff has a BOGO event so you can get two for one. Here are some other styles in my wishlist:

Pamper yourself

When it comes to taking care of ourselves during the springtime, it is imperative to get those feet in tip-top sandal shape.

Enter: Baby Feet.

This stuff is truly LEGIT! Basically you put your feet in the plastic looking socks for an hour and let the magic happen over the next two weeks. I like to do one in early spring before my first spring pedicure of the year.

Other beauty products on my wish list and in my make-up bag:

Treat yourself to the most comfy bra you don't know you need.

Okay ladies, if there is one thing nobody else can buy for us, it is our bra. I discovered this True & Co Triangle bra before my Italy trip a few years ago and since then, I have purchased more.

These feel like butta' and I can wear it all day comfortably. True & Co has partnered with Amazon and there are tons of colors and styles to fit your body.

I've also most recently purchased this True & Co. Lift Triangle adjustable strap. There are other styles as well to fit your "girls."

Hooray for linen in Summer!

There is nothing better than a flowy, comfortable linen pants for work and play in summer. At one time I wasn't a fan of linen, but I have embraced the imperfection of myself and my linen wardrobe as I've aged!

I've heard such great things about Quince and these mineral blue linen pants look divine for summer. There are several colors and lengths available and they are $40!

Old Navy has a linen collection that is more affordable and I have fallen for their linen pants and shorts as well.

If you are looking for a more structured linen pant, the Colette by Maeve has also become of favorite of mine. These are currently on sale and the green pair is a perfect pop for Spring/Summer.

So what did I treat myself to for Mother's Day?

This year, I have not treated myself yet because I am currently in the middle of a home remodel project. However, I did purchase some new black sandals from one of my favorites: Vionic

If you suffer as I did for a long time with plantar fasciitis, you have likely heard of them. I cannot say enough about the quality of these shoes and they have been worth the investment for me. They have every style imaginable from sneakers to heels.

These black Harmony Rx Recovery Sandals I purchased are so versatile and so far have been super comfy. (Also currently on sale)

Celebrate Yourself After Mother's Day

Mother's Day is such a wonderful time to celebrate women, especially our moms, grandmas, stepmoms, aunts, sisters, and daughters. We should also celebrate ourselves as women.

Use this time to update your own wishlist and include treating yourself to something as an after mother's day gift to you.
