Mother's Day
What Beauty Advice Has Your Mother Given You?
My mom is one of those ladies that everyone loves. She has a knack for letting things roll off her shoulders, and she never seems to have a bad day. Plus, when I was growing up she used to let me eat Cookie Crisp for breakfast.
Get Inked For Mother's Day
There are lots of celebrities that sport ink to honor their children. Think Julia Roberts's lower-back tattoos and Angelina Jolie's upper-arm designs, which show the birthplace coordinates of each of her six youngsters. But, there are also lots of regular people who sport ink to honor their mothers.
Bella Bargain: Two-For Giftyboxes
I've mentioned Giftybox before, but if you're new to the concept, here's the scoop: you buy a Giftybox, which lets you choose from more than 200 spa and wellness treatments (facials, massages, life coaching, and so on) at the venue of your choice. Participating locations are in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington DC — so if you're near a major metropolitan area, you're set.
It's already a fun idea, but until May 10, when you buy one spa Giftybox, you'll get a second one for free.

May Must Haves
You know what April showers bring, and for the start of this month, I've gathered together some great beauty products to make these next 31 days all the more festive. With Mother's Day, Cinco De Mayo, and Memorial Day on the way, it's time to think open-toed sandals, brighter makeup palettes, and of course, things wouldn't be the same without some May flowers in the mix.

What's the Best Beauty Advice Your Mom Gave You?
My mom has shared her wisdom throughout the years, and when I've been smart, I've paid attention. Beauty-wise, one of the best things she's done for me — aside from sharing her genes, of course — is keeping me out of the sun. When I was a girl, she encouraged me to climb trees, swim, ride my bike, and do all of the things little kids do.
