Moms Deserve It All
Little Treats for Big Mamas
🚨🚨🚨
MOTHER’S DAY IS COMING UP!!!
This year it’s on Sunday, May 10, so mark your calendars and don’t let the moms in your life catch you unprepared!
It will be my second year as a mom and now that I know how much work it all is, I have an even bigger respect for parents (but especially moms 😉). So if there are any mothers in your orbit who you want to pamper, read on for some RNY/mom-approved ideas.

The Viso red LED mask by Lumara is a fantastically luxe way to show your appreciation. It only takes 10 minutes for a full session, ideally 3x week, making it doable even for the most time-strapped among us. It’s safe for melasma, as it only uses 660nm red LED, meaning no heat output from the mask. Regular use results in more revitalized skin via boosted cellular energy, reduced inflammation and increased collagen production.
Give her a reminder of her pre-parenthood party life with the chic and fun Lola at Coat Check candle from Discotheque. I won’t attempt to describe the scent better than the creators: “Velvet ropes, spirals of sandalwood smoke, love letters and curses, white chocolates in pockets, a moment of softness, razor-edged nails, tiered chandeliers, a glimpse of the moon high in the sky, a whisper on lips that turns into a 4am surprise.” The only 4am surprises I get these days are Séamus suddenly waking up and demanding to hear Old MacDonald.
Reome’s Skin Ceremony Set is the perfect introduction to this innovative biotech-powered skincare line. Founded by a 20-year veteran beauty editor turned acupuncturist, Reome supports skin health and vitality by focusing on skin longevity rather than anti-aging. The ingredients are bio-fermented and bio-technology derived, meaning you get the best of plants and science in one formula. Not to mention the texture and experience of each product is to die for. She’s bound to find a new favorite product from this set.
Motherhood is notoriously hard on our bodies. From pregnancy to birth to sleep deprivation and getting our nutrients from their leftovers… to my personal favorite, carrying my nearly 30-lb toddler exclusively on my right hip. I’m practically giving myself scoliosis! No matter what flavor of body aches she’s experiencing, these bath salts with CBD, magnesium and arnica will help soothe her discomfort. Just one caveat, these are not suitable for pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Maybe she’s the woman who has everything, or maybe she’s the woman who wants nothing. No matter where she falls on the “hard to shop for” spectrum, EVERYONE can use a sheet mask. And these Omad sheet masks are among the best I’ve ever tried. Formulated according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, these biocellulose sheet masks adhere like a second skin, so no sliding around if she can’t sit still. These masks are incredibly hydrating and soothing, amazing for post-procedure or as a relaxing and calming moment for any skin type.
