Mother’s Day is less than a month away and I hope you have your mom in mind! I know I do…

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

• Let her know how much you care. How often do you take the time to let mom know that you appreciate all the ways in which she has loved you? Thank her with kind words, a hug and kiss, and/or a cute trinket or card to show mother just how much you thank her.
• Have a Girls Day Out. Share a spa treat with mom such as a day of manicures and pedicures, facials, or a massage. You can catch up on things you may have missed in each others’ lives lately and come out feeling pretty right along with her.
• Have a Picnic. Set up a nice picnic in the park or garden and share deli sandwiches and spring water (or mimosas!) with mom over conversation and laughter. Have a good time!
• Make a Scrapbook. You could go all out with an elaborately put together scrapbook with the works or simply create a photo album in a pretty binder with photos, clippings, and other memories that would make mom smile.
• Give Her Flowers. Mom may very well receive a couple bouquets that day, but perhaps you’ll the the first or only one to brighten up her day with a bouquet of beautiful, vibrant flowers.

For a bit of Mother’s Day fun, you can vote for your favorite Mom in one of several categories on 1-800-FLOWERS.com! The contest is called “Celebrate Mom For Who She Is” and there are over $30,000 in prizes. Simply tell them which Mom you vote for and why to automatically be entered to win. Hurry, because the voting ends May 1st!

California Dreamin’

I am very excited to be visiting the west coast next month! I will be in Los Angeles for vacation/business and am totally stoked. This post about beach makeup was inspired by my surprise vacation as well as more beauty and fitness posts to come. I have never been west of Ohio so this will be a much anticipated experience for me!

Starting next month, Frappelattes will also feature a guest blogger who resides on the west coast and is totally fitness (and beauty) savvy, you’ll love her I’m sure! She has been blogging for years now and has recently started contributing her fitness articles to online ‘zines around the web. Her fitness contributions to Frappelattes will keep everyone in gear, building their beach bodies with healthy eating habits and easy workout routines you can incorporate into your daily agendas (including tips involving treadmills).

If, like I, you will be traveling to LA at some point this year, Trusted Tours & Attractions has you covered! On their website you can find all kinds of fun, exciting things to do in Los Angeles and other sightseeing tours in major tourist cities (you can even get San Diego zoo tickets).

Get this, you can even win a handheld GPS navigation system just by signing up for their newsletter! How cool is that?
