There is nothing more powerful than the love of a mother. I know that’s a bold claim but considering all the sacrifices they have made from the moment they carry their children inside their womb for nine months up until the day they let them spread their wings to live on their own, I think that not only is their love powerful but it can literally create a life.

Our mothers are a beacon of life. They are the ones who wake up before the sun rises to prepare our breakfast and lose so much sleep during the night just to make sure everyone’s safe in bed, fast asleep. The first teacher who taught us to always be kind but to never let anyone hurt us. The one person we share milestones with and whose shoulders we lean on when the challenges of life become too much.

However, as life moves at a faster pace and our schedules become tighter, we tend to forget everything they have given just to make us happy and feel loved. We are now more focused on our gadgets, our businesses, our friends, our style; all that we have except the woman who did all she can to give us the life we deserve.

So, this Mother’s Day, let us help you give them a special little treat!

For only P1,850, you can award them with an ultimate relaxation experience through the V&M Naturals Pamper Kit. Let them enjoy soft skin with Bare It All Minty, a youthful look with Wrinkle Revenge, plump lips with Smooch Lip Detox, clearer mind with the help of Lemongrass Essential Oil, and a fresh style with any of our 2 Bespoke Fragrances.

Not only that, this wonderful gift also comes with a 10% discount voucher for Flossom Kitchen + Café where they can unwind while relishing on a scrumptious meal.

They say that the hardest job is that of a mother’s. And although I am not one, all you need is a good pair of eyes to know that what they're doing for their families is something that cannot amount to anything. So, even though we feel like there’s only so much we can do to give back to them, I say we still do them since there’s no limit to the amount of happiness we can give. Not only this Mother’s Day but while they’re still with us.

There is nothing more convenient than a skin care product that is perfect for ALL skin types. If only such a thing exists… Oh wait, it does! Brightening Love Plant Oil is an anti-aging blend of three oils that work together in brightening dark pigmentations and providing hydration and protection against free radical damage.
