Mother's Day on a Dime

How do you show your Mom, how much she means to you without spending a fortune? With Mother's Day less than a week away, this may be one of the most popular questions on your brains this week. Luckily I've done some research to find out who and where are having the best Mother's Day promotions that way you can treat your mom like the queen she is, without having to dish out a year's worth of savings!

Step one: Find Mom A Wonderful Gift!

Time to go Online Shopping!

First step is finding your mom that perfect gift! This step has now gotten a whole lot easier with all of these online shopping stores. You can now find your mom the absolute perfect gift without even having to get up from your seat. How convenient!

Step two: Make an Itineray for the Day!

Now you could take your mom out for breakfast or to a local spa near you, or you could really make her feel by creating an all-day experience in the comfort of her own house!

Start the day by making her, her favourite breakfast foods and serving her in bed! Make her some freshly squeezed Orange Juice or her favourite fruity shake accompanied by some eggs or pancakes and you will be start her day with a bang!

Next:  Set up a personal Spa area just for mom. Start with the face. Create sugar scrubs and all natural face mask to get her to relax! See my previous post for many different face mask recipes. Fask Mask Recipes click here! Once you have completed her face you can move on to giving her a feet soak. Add some bath oils, which can be purchased at your local BodyShop, to give her the ultimate sense of relaxation! Paint her nails her favourite colour for a finishing touch!

Finally: Treat her to her favourite restaurant in town or if you'd like to be a little more creative, transform the dining room to restaurante de la casa. Make her your own unique menu of her favourite foods and let her choose whatever she wants then make it for her and serve it right off the stovetop! This creative option will let her know just how special she really is!

Special Touches

Creative an E-card with SmileBox for free and unique cards. Skip getting your mom a generic 5 dollar hallmark card this mother's day and instead create her a card that she can share with all her friends though email and facebook! You can even print them!

Pick some flowers from the garden. Put them in a vase with some water and a bow around the vase and pay your next door neighbour 5 bucks for a flower delivery!

So there you have it, an abundance of ideas to show your Mom just how much you appreciate her! Check back in next week to see how my Mother's Day went and send in some photos and a short paragraph if you would like to share how you spent your Mother's Day!

                                      

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to my Trendy Keys Readers.

As the new year just passed I am sure that many of you have made new year resolutions, which is great! The only problem is that most people within the first month don't follow through with their resolutions. So in attempt to encourage and help those who who may need the encouragement to stay on the right track of achieving their goals, Ii am going to give some helpful tips to help you follow your resolutions.

1. Make realistic resolutions. So since most of you have probably already made your resolutions, Revise your list and determine which are realistic and for the ones that are not realistic, replace them with something that is more realistic.
2. Make short, medium and long term resolutions. Note: If you only make short term resolutions that can be difficult to achieve in such short amount of a time, you may feel overwhelmed and if you only make long term resolutions you may end up procrastinating and will eventually forget your resolutions. So the best thing to do is make small steps. This brings me to my next tip.
3. Make a plan on how you intend on achieving your resolutions by dividing them into smaller steps or little tips.
4. Make short reminders of the steps/tips required on achieving you goals. You can make them on colourful sticky notes and place them in your room, on your mirror in the washroom, your locker, on your notebooks, wherever it may be necessary to have a reminder. Also a good way to set some reminders are by inputting them into your cellphone and setting them to alert you on random days. Note: The more spontaneous you place a note or set an alarm, the more likely you are to actually read it and remind yourself of your resolutions.

So I hope these tips will come to use for those who need it throughout the year 2012. Best wishes and Good luck.

Remember to have the best results in 2012, Stay motivated and positive and best of yet keep checking back in to Trendy Keys!

Sincerely Yours,
