ancestry

Hi friends! I wanted to continue the blog post on gift ideas for Mother’s Day! As mentioned, I got happy mail the other week from Babbleboxx, and look at all these wonderful goodies! If you need new fresh ideas to give a special mama in your life, you’ve come to the right place. Your mama will love you if you handed her a bag of all these items inside of it. Just sayin’ 🙂

For Mother’s Day, I love getting flowers, having a day off from mom duties, receiving homemade cards from my kids, and going out to eat with my family, but do you know what else? I LOVE getting surprised with meaningful gifts and new products to try.

Didn’t you guys love the A.Jaffe sterling silver map I blogged earlier this week? It’s such a perfect gift showcasing a special location meaningful to your family. Get excited…there’s three more gift ideas I have to share for Mother’s Day!

1. 23andMe – I was born in the Philippines and came to the United States when I was 3 years old with my family. The older I get, the more I want to learn about our family history. I’m so excited to try this ancestry kit from 23andMe. It’s the perfect way to learn about your ancestral origins, your ancestry timeline, where in the world your DNA comes from, where your ancestors lived 500+ years ago, and you can even see how each of your biological parents contributed to your ancestry composition. Isn’t that fascinating?! I’m sure you’re wondering how it works. You just provide your saliva sample from home by using the kit they mail to you, and then you mail it back to their lab using a prepaid postage. Now celebrate mom genes by ordering yours today! You’ll receive $20 off along with free gift wrapping through May 14th!

2. Sabon – Butter Hand Cream – You’ll definitely see this in my diaper bag because it’s the perfect travel size for us on the go moms. This particular hand cream is enriched with shea butter and will soothe, nourish, heal, and protect my hands. I love the almond scent that I have, but there’s also citrus blossom, delicate jasmine, lavender rose, and patchouli lavender vanilla.

3. Vichy – Mineral 89 – I’m 34 years old now, and I used to never care about washing my face or having healthy skin. You change your ways when you get older! Now I care a lot about skincare. The Vichy Mineral 89 is a moisturizer that combines 15 Mineral Rich Water and Hyaluronic Acid which fortifies the skin and make it more resistant to visible aging caused by environmental factors. It also delivers a boost of hydration making your skin feeling more hydrated, plumped, and toned along with a vibrant, healthy glow. YES please! If you order and use the code Babble, you get 20% off and free shipping! Hurry because Mother’s Day is just around the corner and this code is valid until 6/30/2017!
