VISOONE Designer Look Sunglasses:

With summer travel and outdoor adventures around the corner, the right sunglasses aren’t just an accessory, they’re a must-have. VISOONE’s stylish and durable sunglasses provide 100 % UV protection, a lightweight feel, and a designer look, without the high-end price tag.

Why VISOONE?

• 100 % UV protection: shields your eyes from harmful UVA/UVB rays
• Lightweight & durable
• Designed for lasting comfort
• Trendy and versatile: classic aviators, oversized glam, sporty & tons more options
• Elevated quality

VISOONE sunglasses let you step into summer in style, without overspending. Whether you’re dancing at a festival, lounging poolside, or exploring far-away places, there’s a pair for every occasion.

My Experience:  

I received the pair in the second image above to try on.  I’m known for having an obscene amount of inexpensive sunglasses at my disposal. When I heard about this company, I was thrilled.  I’m always on the lookout for designer-looking sunglasses at non-designer prices.  This brand fits the bill! 

My teenage daughter rolled her eyes when she found out I had a new budget-friendly pair from VISOONE to add to my collection. I told her they were for me to review, and at first she thought they were too young looking for “old, uncool mom.” I tried on my new pair and my very fashion-conscious 15-year-old said I could pull them off and that they looked great!  I would love to try on more styles and encourage you to do the same.  They are comfortable and trendy, and you’ll likely find a pair to fit your face frame at the perfect price!

Your mom will adore this premium tool that will help her reach all of her hair goals! She will be reminded of your love and thoughtfulness from you every time she styles her hair. This top-rated, Deluxe wet detangler looks beautiful on any vanity and keeps the hair silky smooth.

Denman wet detangler is the perfect dry and wet brush for straight, wavy, coily, and curly hair. Detangling comb for fragile, fine, thin, and thick hair. This Denman wet hair brush is a perfect shower brush, travel brush, wet detangler brush and ideal hair brush for women.

The Denman brand is known for its quality products, so you can trust that this brush will be durable and long-lasting.

Our Experience:  My daughter (pictured above) has long, beautiful red hair.  Since it’s also wavy/curly, she only brushes it while she is in the shower, and adds curling products to it when she’s done showering.  She also sleeps with a silk cap on at night to keep the curls at their curliest and tame any frizz.  This brush has been crucial in her hair care routine, and she’s so happy to have it in our home!

If you have a mom who is eco-conscience, and loves a great tasting sparkling water, give her the gift of these sparkling water flavors with bottles she can re-use!

My Experience:  

I received 4 different flavors to try: plain sparkling water, mango grapefruit, lemon-lime, and strawberry lemonade.  Our family enjoyed a nice pancakes and egg breakfast last weekend, and we all fought for a different flavor to take ownership of.  My husband LOVES grapefruit.  He gave rave reviews of the grapefruit mango and I can see myself buying some more for him this for Father’s Day!  The lemon lime is quite tart but good, with strawberry lemonade being a little bit sweeter.  That leaves plain sparkling water being….well plain.  My youngest took it to mix with other juice.  🙂  Everyone was fighting over what color bottle they wanted to reuse and use as water bottles at school.

These are great to give to mom for Mother’s Day, but these are also great for kids when you don’t want them to have extra sugar or artificial sweeteners from sodas.  These are also so good to have on hand as extra reusable water bottles – and also great for camping or traveling!

My Experience:  

I planted a pencil with Forget-me-not seeds (my favorite wild flower) and was hoping they would be sprouted by the time I published this for a picture, but they aren’t ready yet.  I will be continuing to watch mine grow, and share a few pencils with my mom and my mother-in-law for this Mother’s Day!  

Yum Cha Tea Company:

Home to over 250 tea varieties, Yum Cha Tea Company is at the forefront of holistic wellness with its wide assortment of delicious offerings. They encourage tea lovers to create a tea experience that caters to overall wellness and comfort, boosting immune systems, and mental and physical health and reducing oxidative stress.

My experience:  I was able to get samples of the Millions of Peaches and the Roobios Coconut Chai.  The rooibos tea contains ginger root, cinnamon, shredded coconut, and vanilla. This is a very light and refreshing herbal chai with a nice coconut kick. If you a bolder flavor, along with some caffeine, add black tea bag while the roobios is steeping.  Because this is loose-leaf tea with higher quality ingredients than the chai tea I buy in tea bags from the grocery store, this one wins as the best flavor.  The prices are very reasonable, making it a no-brainer to try one of their unique flavors today!

iTeaWorld:

Indulge in the diverse world of our Oolong Tea Sampler – a delightful assortment of four distinct flavors. Start your day with the refreshing tea, reminiscent of sun-kissed orchards, creating a perfect morning ritual. Ideal for any occasion, this thoughtful gift invites you to share moments of warmth and flavor with friends and family, brewing memories that last a lifetime.

I’ve never studied or tried Oolong tea before (and I’ve had a lot of tea in my life!)  This sampler opened up a whole new world to try the different flavors and caffiene levels.  Some say Oolong tea connoisseurs learn the flavors and steeping time just like training your palette for fine wine tasting.  The health benefits of Oolong tea include it being filled with antioxidants, aids in weight loss, improves sleep, supports the immune system and decreases risk of heart disease.  (list taken from here.)  You won’t regret trying this sampler!  It’s also a great gift to give to your tea loving friends (or Mothers)!

Send a Cake 

If you have never seen what “Send A Cake” can do, then you must watch the video here!

I found this website when I was looking for an uplifting gift for a friend who was in a tough spot.  I’ve also sent it to friends who have had COVID-19 as a “cheer me up” gift.  (I have a LOT of compassion for anyone who has gotten Covid since I’ve been living with it’s after effects for 3 years now.)

This gift is super fun – the butterflies fly out of the box, the cakes are delicious, and you can even customize your gift!  There are some new versions, especially made for Mother’s Day!  These are for sure to make your mom happy for Mother’s Day!

Price: 10-Minute Book $49, 20-Minute Book $69, Add a gift box for $12! Available on Amazon!  Head over to Amazon and watch a video of how it works!

My Experience:  I’ll admit that it’s been a difficult choice of what content I should upload to my video book.  This would be perfect to add part of your wedding ceremony, or birth moments, or birthdays, or graduations (including pictures of kids while they are growing up), or to just send current pictures of the grandkids to grandparents.  So I decided to add some clips of my oldest during her performance in the school musical this year, and my youngest while she was performing for Odessy of the Mind.  Then I did a photo shoot of my girls (age 14 and 10) with some spring flowers in the background.  I’m going to wrap it up and give it to grandma and I know she will be very, very happy with this gift!  The coolest part of this book is that as soon as your open the cover, it immediately starts playing.  It’s a super cool way to display special photos and videos!
