364 days a year, it’s everyone else’s day – the kids’, your husband’s, your boss’s, your in-laws’, even your dog’s. Mother’s Day is the glorious 24 hour stretch, when the queen of the house should feel, look, and be treated like one.
Here are 5 Mother’s Day gifts that are indulgent, yes, but absolutely deserved.
A Weekend Getaway.
Whether you choose your husband or your girlfriends to go with you on this trip, allow yourself the luxury of leaving the kids at home just this once. No one to look after but yourself? Aaaahhh. That thought is a mini-vacation in itself already.

A glamorous addition to your wardrobe
When was the last time you shopped with reckless abandon? Dress-shopping, especially when it isn’t sale season, tends to elicit bouts of mommy guilt. For one day, try turning off the mental calculator in your head that auto-computes how many cans of milk or dozens of eggs you could buy for the price on the tag.
Instead, run your hands through the soft fabric of the dress you’ve been eyeing through the boutique window for weeks now.. and just get it.

Bling.
Of course your new dress needs a best friend — that finishing touch, the icing on the cake (ooooh cake!) Silver, gold, precious stone, platinum — the choice is yours.

Sublime hair.
Leave the hair tie on the dresser and set your locks loose. Finally go on that much needed trip to the salon and come out of it feeling and looking glorious.

Combinations include dry hair concentrate + softness booster, color-treated hair concentrate + shine booster, and thinning hair concentrate + density booster.
That glow.
Lack of sleep, neglecting to drink water, having no time to put on sunscreen before heading out, and choosing to collapse into bed instead of going through a proper nighttime beauty regimen all contribute to the current sallow state of your skin. It’s time to get that healthy glow back.
