Act of service
Give your mom the gift of relaxation with an indulgent spa day at home. Treat her to a soothing experience using body oils and gentle body scrub to rejuvenate her skin. With some peaceful and calming background music to set the mood, start by exfoliating her skin with body scrubs to remove dead skin cells which promote a smoother and radiant skin. As you massage the scrubs onto her skin, the gentle pressure enhances blood circulation through, giving her relaxation and stress relief (3).
After the exfoliation, pamper her skin with nourishing body oil. Consider lightweight oils enriched with ingredients like argan oil and grapeseed oil that soothe and hydrate the skin and jojoba seed oil to regulate sebum production and boost hydration (4). This thoughtful act of service allows your mom to indulge in self-care, leaving her feeling rejuvenated and loved.
Quality time
For mothers who value quality time, cooking a delicious and nutritious meal together can be a wonderful way to bond while also promoting her health. Start by choosing a recipe that both of you would enjoy making and consider a meal that has ingredients with rich nutrition and vitamins. Especially during this colder weather, prioritizing health is key. Consider hearty soup, flavorful stir-fry, wholesome baked dishes.
To top it off, end the meal with some fruits rich in vitamins to combat the cold weather, such as:
- Citrus fruit & kiwis: contains rich vitamin C which helps strengthen the immune system
- Berries: contains antioxidants, like vitamin C to boost immune response
- Pineapples: features bromelain, which has anti-inflammatory properties reducing inflammation (5)
