Mother's Day 2020 needs to be special. Help Mom relax with this fabulous Lavender Gift Box [Review & 3-Winner Giveaway]

Mothers should be recognized throughout the year, but especially on their special day.

And this year, 2020, mothers of all ages, races, talents, and strengths or weaknesses are filling the gap caused by the pandemic that is devastating the world at large. They are moms at home keeping things going on the home front and they have added to their retinue of necessary tasks to-be-done that of full-time at-home teacher for their child or children. They are being moms, teachers, and many are standing in at the front lines of this viral battle, war, against the CoVid-19 pandemic.

They are bearing unbearable burdens on narrow shoulders yet standing as giants.

They are comforters, healers, teachers, cleaners, cooks, gardeners, shoppers on a day-to-basis as never before.

And as never before, they should be the recipients of accolades, showers of love, and gifts that will comfort them and enable them to rise another day to face another challenge.

What about you? What will you do for your mother, your children's mother?

I have a suggestion and recommendation. And I can recommend it because I've personally enjoyed these specific products.

Now let's talk about the products in this gem of a beauty box.

Lavender Triple Shea Butter Bar Soap

Fabulous Lavender Triple Shea Butter Bar Soap &
Lavender Vanilla Hand Cream

I bathed with this luxurious soap and it feels so good. Looking at it one would think "old fashioned lye soap" that is harsh as this is not a "prettied up" soap and is just simple and plain. But it absolutely is NOT harsh.

It lathers beautifully and my skin feels soft and clean. I'm quite impressed! This Lavender soap from Good Earth Beauty is certainly equal to my most favorite soap and perhaps surpasses it because of its pureness. Price: $12/bar - Find it at - Lavender Triple Butter Soap

Lavender Vanilla Lavish Moisturizing Hand Cream 

I can't say enough about how much I enjoy using this hand cream and how smooth my hands feel when I use it. It isn't heavy or sticky feeling.

The Lavender Vanilla Hand Cream (great as a hand/body lotion) is simply wonderful. I love its gentle fragrance which will blend so nicely with other fragrances. You should feel so relaxed and your skin will definitely feel like you've been wrapped in silk.

Product description Lavish modern hand cream repairs dry skin and cuticles, leaving behind the tropical scent of Lavender vanilla. To heal cracked skin, you only need a small drop of this cream, which has aloe, macadamia-seed and olive oils, and shea butter. It's deceptively thin for such a hydrating formula, and it leaves hands soft and supple for the entire day.

Lavender Vanilla Scent Description -  Creamy vanilla intermingles perfectly with sweet French lavender. Relaxing and tranquil. Made in small batches in the USA by Good Earth Beauty 4 oz. Tube $14.00 - Find it at Good Earth Beauty

What about a Lavender Mint Soy Candle to refresh the senses?

These soy candles are made with soy wax and cotton wicks and wonderful essential oils. The mint is definitely strong but it is not overpowering. Now what might one experience when you have lite this candle and your room is wafting the fragrance and uplifting your sense of well-being?

For a bit of aromatherapy using this lovely candle you might experience: Lavender is known for its calming and soothing effect. It is said that the scent of lavender can decrease the heart rate and help you relax. Peppermint has the ability to sooth, calm, and aid in the management of mental fatigue. It is also considered effective in the control of nausea from chemo treatments, post surgical, a well as general illness with nausea. (Information from varied internet sources.)

Classical Blue & White Chinese Restaurant Tea Set from Enjoying Tea Company brings authenticity to tea time [Review & Giveaway]

The Enjoying Tea Company is a uniquely wonderful company that carries a line of fabulous quality teas from across the globe. They also have tea accouterments, including a fine assortment of tea sets and implements that reflect on cultures and serving tea worldwide.

We've previously looked at English Tea Sets, Japanese Geisha Tea Set, modern glass tea sets and a variety of tea cups. Today we'll looking at a Classical Blue & White Chinese Restaurant Tea Set.

The cups in this set are delicately decorated with intricate designs reflective of Chinese art. The interior of the small tea cups is fully decorated which makes the pleasure of sipping one's tea even more enjoyable as the last bit is consumed leaving the joy of calming blue on white imagery.

My son and his family traveled to China a year ago and thoughtfully brought me a bag of lovely  Lychee that they obtained in a traditional Chinese tea house and which I have enjoyed thoroughly. But one doesn't have to travel extensively to enjoy a world of wonderful teas. Enjoyingtea.com has a fine assortment.

For example, the  Dragon Well Green Tea, (Lung Ching) is a beautiful green tea carried by Enjoying Tea. I enjoyed this green tea and found it light and aromatic. "This extraordinary green tea comes from the city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang province [China]. The flat leaves are harvested in early spring when the leaves are full of aroma."

I brewed Enjoying Tea's Zhjiang Silver Needle White Tea.
Lovely enjoyed in this authentic China tea cup.

They also carry Zhejiang Silver Needle  "white tea with a white downy appearance comes from the province of Zhejiang [China]. The Silver Needle, highest quality white tea, is picked during the spring before the buds open to preserve its tenderness. Exquisite and delicate, Silver Needle has a fresh, sweet fragrance and produces a pale yellow brew."

So whether you wish to just simply serve your favorite tea in these lovely Classical Blue and White Chinese tea cups or you want to go really authentic and brew a tea from one of the Chinese provinces, the tea pot and cups are lovely and great conversation pieces.
