Mother's Day- A Present Odysee

“No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you - life” (Unknown Author)

This might very well be true, but we will be damned if we wouldn’t try! With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we don’t all of the sudden remember how much we love and cherish our mothers, because we love them every single day of the year (well, most of us do). No, we feverishly try to come up with a brilliant idea of what to get her this year and remember all the gifts we have given her throughout the years on this special day. There where the compulsory self- made cards, clay ashtrays, breakfast in bed, unpolished but charming poems and flowers, lots of flowers. And whereas lovely mother always politely smiled and thanked us for our hand- crafted gifts or last- minute bought chocolates, we sometimes couldn’t help but feel guilty. Guilty because how do you match the gift of life? With theater tickets? Did your mother out – do you in the gift department for all eternity when she gave birth to you? Maybe the ‘Unknown Author’ was right!

So where do we go from here? Obviously we still will keep trying; however, we should give up on the ‘equal’ idea since nothing is as precious as life, mother wins this round. But we can try to give back! And why not getting our mums some fabulous blinc mascara or even the heated lash curler? Every woman deserves to be treated and look like a queen. And truth is, mummy might have had to put up or still puts up with dirty laundry, fighting siblings, teenage tantrums and dyeing hamsters but she is a woman after all. A woman with a desire for beauty. Get her something this year she’ll actually use and don’t forget a big thank you. Happy Mother’s Day to all you gorgeous mummies!
