I realize mother’s day has something to do with it, but every spring I adore the items that come through my door from brands. It’s as though we’re all emerging from the dull, dry, winter and want to be loud (when am I ever quiet, you?), bright and happy. Of course, having fabulous skin and hair certainly helps with that and that’s where my mail deliveries come in. While I do receive a lovely selection of products for mother’s day, there are some definite favorites that I’m often mentioning to my mommy-friends (or better yet, handing them over during a coffee date!)
Gift baskets/bags have always been the easy go-to for me for mother’s day and birthday gift giving for my girlfriends – after all, what busy woman doesn’t enjoy a few new pampering products which is hopefully the hint they need to take it easy once in awhile. It’s true right? A new body wash, lotion or even shampoo seems to give us permission to take a little extra time for ourselves – something we should be doing all the time but I’m so guilty of skipping.
Here are some products from my friends at P&G perfect for taking a little time out for yourself (or your mom or best friend!) to bring you out of the dull winter blahs and into the sunshine:
Experience Olay’s new Fresh Outlast Body Washes formulated to work with skin’s natural pH. They are lower in sulfates and contain 3X more mild cleansers than before! The upgraded body washes come in four premium scents, like Cooling White Strawberry & Mint, made with essential oil fragrances, for a fresh clean that outlasts your day and keeps that spring in your step!
Has winter wind left your hair lifeless? Don’t fret! The Pantene Dry Defy system is designed for women with chronically dry hair that’s lost its natural movement and shine. It’s is perfect if you’re hair is feeling a little lifeless from the winter wind. This is a three step system that works to replenish lost moisture and block damage sites, where it’s most easily lost. The three step system includes an intense hydrating shampoo and conditioner, as well as a Velvet Crème Infusion, which absorbs into hair and starts working immediately, leaving your hair soft and velvety for all those mid-afternoon strolls and trips to the park!
I know the sunshine makes ME smile, so here’s something to help ensure you have beautiful pearly whites! You can whiten your teeth with the new Crest 3D White® Brilliance Toothpaste which works to enhance your smile’s beauty with an Illuminating Complex. Pair it along with new Crest 3D White Brilliance Boost –a polishing treatment designed to amplify your smile’s brilliant whiteness.
