Mothering Sunday is fast approaching, May 8th will be here before you know it. Whether it’s your Nelson Mum, Wife, Sister, Friend, Auntie or Dad (who often does a Mum’s job), we have no doubt you’ll be looking for Mother’s Day Ideas to help celebrate the person you think is the best Mum in the world!

Mother’s Day Ideas & How to Treat Mum

It probably won’t surprise you to know that at Woman, we think one of the best treats you can give is the gift of relaxation. All of those people who do the job of Mum often put other people before themselves. So, on this one day in the year, we encourage you to give them a well-deserved break. Here are three ways to do precisely that!

Breakfast in Bed:

When it comes to Mother’s Day Ideas, this one is an oldie but a goodie! Let them enjoy a slow start to the day.

Why not whisk up a breakfast bowl to help with glowing skin?

Ingredients:

• 1/2 avocado
• One banana
• Two good dollops of natural yoghurt
• A handful of blueberries (frozen or fresh)

Whizz these ingredients together with a dash of water in your Nutri Bullet or blender. Meanwhile, toast a handful of mixed nuts and seeds in a dry non-stick pan. Pour and scoop the blended mixture into a bowl, top with the toasted nuts and seeds, add extra chopped fruit or coconut flakes, and then drizzle with a little honey!

Coupons for Chores:

We love the idea of giving Mum a rest whenever she needs it. So, why not make a coupon booklet. Think of all the family tasks she usually takes responsibility for… It might be cooking Sunday lunch, changing the beds, walking the dog or anything else. Whenever she wants a break from that task, she tears out a coupon, and somebody else has to do it for her! Discover how to make your coupon book HERE.

Gift-A-Treat:

Our Day Spa in Nelson offers the perfect space to retreat and relax. And, we have a perfect Mother’s Day Gift-A-Treat coming up. This special head-to-toe relaxing treatment goes on sale Sunday 1st May for one week only. If you’re not subscribed to our newsletter, scroll down to the bottom of our website to sign up, and we’ll send you a reminder when it goes on sale!

As we swelter in the heat of this beautiful Nelson summer, it’s hard to believe February is just around the corner. And that means that Valentine’s Day is too. Now, we know that not everybody relishes this particular holiday. But you don’t need a significant other to treat you on February 14th… Oh no! In this blog article, we’re sharing five of the best Valentine’s Day Gifts you can give yourself. Read on to find out more.

5 of the Best Valentine’s Day Gifts to Give Yourself:

1: The Gift of Time:

How often do you really manage to spend a day or even just an hour in the day dedicated to yourself? A moment when you feel no responsibilities to any other person or task. If you can’t remember the last time you did this, then February 14th is the perfect day to show yourself some love and attention with the gift of time.

2: The Gift of a Great Experience:

When was the last time you did something new? It’s easy to fall into a routine. We come to know which restaurants never disappoint, which walks have the best views and which activities bring us joy. So, we stick with the tried and tested. But there’s so much more that we might not have discovered. So make Valentine’s Day the date to try something new!

3: The Gift of Relaxation:

While this gift to yourself may sound similar to our #1 Gift (above), we beg to differ. Surrendering to complete relaxation is very different from dedicating an hour or so to yourself. And we should know because at Woman Beauty in Nelson we are masters in the art of relaxation!

4: The Gift of Making Memories:

While we’re grateful that New Zealand’s response to the COVID pandemic has been recognised as one of the world’s best. There’s no doubt that the last twelve months have been different for all of us. With International travel curtailed and overseas family and friends unable to visit, it’s easy to forget the magic of making memories. So, February 14th is a great day to gift yourself a magical memory. Whether it’s lunch with the girls, a picnic at one of your favourite Nelson beaches or a delightful dinner date. Give yourself something to store in your happiness bank!

5: All the above rolled into one!

Now, this is where we come in. Because we have an exceptional Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s Day) special coming your way. From next week… Keep your eyes on your inbox; you’ll be able to grab an Island Retreat for you and gift one to somebody else too. Both of you will enjoy a tropical foot soak and sugar rub before relaxing with a Lomi Lomi de-stressing back massage. Then finish with a conditioning hair and scalp ritual. That’s 60 minutes of relaxation enjoying a spa experience and making memories with your love or your bestie! Find out all the details HERE, and if you’re not on our mailing list sign up below, so we can let you know when this special treat goes on sale.

It’s that time of year again! Sunday 12th May, Mother’s Day, is just around the corner. Which means it’s time to think about gifts for Mum. Thankfully Woman Beauty Nelson has some ‘inspo’ for you!

We thought we’d share five ways to spoil the person you think is the best Mum in the world on Mother’s Day!

Breakfast in Bed

Start the day off right with a morning treat. But why not make it a breakfast to get Mum ‘glowing’? Check out this article from the archives on foods that nourish your skin. Avocado, blueberries and nuts are all good foods for fabulous skin. So mix up this breakfast bowl for Mum.

• 1/2 avocado
• One banana
• Two good dollops of natural yoghurt
• A handful of blueberries (frozen or fresh)

Whizz these ingredients together with a dash of water in your Nutri bullet or blender. Meanwhile, toast a handful of mixed nuts and seeds in a dry non-stick pan. Pour and scoop the blended mixture into a bowl, top with the toasted nuts and seeds, add extra chopped fruit or coconut flakes, then drizzle with a little honey!

Edible gifts for Mum, lovingly prepared, are a perfect way to show how much you care.

Happiness is Hydration

How about a Mother’s Day gift bag from Pure Fiji?

• 120ml Nourishing Hand Creme
• 90ml Coconut Hydrating Body Mist

Time Together
