Make Mom a Bubalina Beauty.

I am absolutely amazed at the amount of bath and body collections that are out there. There are so many that thinking about it too hard could make my head spin! Now, don't get me wrong, this is in no way a bad thing. It is just amazing that there are so many creative forces out there that stock our shelves with such wonderful goodies.

I am always happy when I find some beautiful beauties, like this from Bubalina Beauty.

I melted when I saw this set with Orange Blossom products. I so love anything to do with Orange. It is always so sweet and refreshing, so you can understand my excitement. In this lovely collection is an Orange Blossom Body Lotion, Orange Blossom Shower Gel, and a pair of exfoliating gloves to use with the Shower Gel for the ultimate Bubalina experience.

This Collection Gift Bag retails for $38 at Bubalina Beauty.

All of Bubalina's products only contain pure and superior ingredients, infused by natural extracts.

Don't you just love the Bubablina girls on the packaging? Too cute! I am sure any Mom would love these sets, too.

How Amazing is your Mom?

I think my Mother is absolutely amazing. She is probably the least selfish person I know. Always kind. Giving. Thoughtful. And always there to lend support to those that want it. I am truly inspired by her, and still to this day, wish I could keep up with her! She is so full of life, energy, and love. She is simply amazing - one of a kind.

So, what do I give my most Amazing Mom for Mother's Day? Amazing Grace Mother's Day Gift Set from Philosophy.

I love the entire fragrance line of Philosophy, and I recently got Mom hooked on Amazing Grace, so she should be thrilled to get this wonderful set. 

This Amazing Grace Gift Set includes an Amazing Grace spray fragrance, Amazing Grace shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath,  Amazing Grace perfumed body firming emulsion and an Amazing Grace shimmer powder puff with the lightest scent of Amazing Grace with a hint of sparkle.

This set retails for $65 at Philosophy, and there a few variations of it available at Sephora, beauty.com, and QVC as well.

Mother's Day better hurry up and get here or I just might be over come with temptation and open this beauty up for myself.
