MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE 2024

April 14, 2024 janet gunn

As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is filled with gratitude for the beautiful roles I cherish: a mother to my wonderful son and a devoted dog mom to the family's loyal companion. Each day with them fills my life with love and joy, teaching me patience, compassion, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Reflecting on Mother Earth and Mother Nature, I'm reminded of their endless beauty and the invaluable lessons of strength and flexibility. Thank you for the lessons passed down from my own mother, my grandmother’s, and the lessons I learn from my son; I am so grateful and appreciate the wisdom and resilience that motherhood has taught me.

Luca & Buster - One of the best days ever!!

One thing is for sure: being a mother doesn’t come with a handbook. I am grateful for my continued growth, patience, and understanding, which never stops. Happy Mother’s Day, friends. Luca and Buster, I’m so grateful to be your mom.

May we celebrate this day with gratitude and grace.

LOVE THYSELF THIS VALENTINES DAY

February 6, 2022 janet gunn

Just a reminder to add a touch of TLC this Valentine's Day Galentine’s and make a date with yourself. Are you in need of a little downtime, spa time, or just some good olé fun drinking rosé with your friends? Whatever you have planned or not planned give yourself a hug and a good time! I rounded up just a few favorite products that are part of my everyday routine and added a few items to my VD wish list.

‎These products are like an instant shot of skin magic. Both the Capsules and the Elixir glide on and leave your skin dewy and hydrated. The capsules deliver skin-identical doses of Sphingo-and-Glycolipids, which help support your natural Ceramide production, for longer-lasting moisturized skin. Wow-what a difference.
‎(Each capsule is made of Seaweed, so they're fully compostable.)
The Japanfusion is infused with barrier-boosting Fission-Y, hyperpigmentation-fighting Jabara Fruit (Vitamin C), antioxidant Grape Extract, and a powerful new Hyaluronic-Acid-strength Polynesian Seaweed humectant.

Here’s how to find these products from Beauty Pie; If you're not familiar with Beauty Pie just click on the link to learn more about becoming a member and how to save on luxury quality products. Use my code JANETSENTME for $10 off the annual membership. It's worth it!

Lately, I’ve become a fan of Westman Atelier, her blush, eyeshadows, and lip suedes are so rich in color and texture and formulated with clean ingredients. Blush / Lip Suede FYI, her highlighters are glorious!

One of the new products I've been using every day is this petal balm from Saint Jane. It literally leaves your skin glowing even after you apply foundation. Soma Ayurvedic recently created the most luxurious Jasmine body oil. I’ve been using their Vitamin C Serum for several years now and these products never disappoint.

Everything’s Coming Up Roses!

Rose Tea / Tea Cup

Flower power with these beautiful buds. Just a few benefits to drinking rose tea - A cup of rose tea can help to soothe anxiety, reduce stress, high in Vitamin C and the overall ritual feels so nice. Time for tea!
