This is a heads up for all my UK readers. Roman Originals, a ladies apparel store in UK is now having a final clearance sale with many items going for under £7!!! 

I’ve got my eyes on the single breasted brown linen jacket below which is simply a must have for this season. And you know what?  Roman Originals is offering a promotion where customers can buy a jacket and get the bottom (trousers) FREE!!! I am talking about beautifully tailored jacket and trouser suits, in a delightful array of patterns, colours and materials. Isn’t that just such a unbelievable deal???

If suits are not your style, you can also check out the casual tops, must-have dresses as well as sophisticated evening wear at affordable prices. With 20% off and free delivery for orders over £75, this is definitely a sale you cannot miss!

The title says it all. I love this book. It’s the perfect gift for any Mom, not necessarily only on Mother’s Day! Hey, mommies deserved to be pampered all year round.

My Mummy Is Magic is the combined effort of two authors, Carl Norac, a highly popular children’s author, and Ingrid Gordon, who is famous for her hugely successful WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE BOO-HOO BABY?, which has been translated into 10 languages.

Recently published on 01/02/2008, here’s a sneek peek at what this book is all about:

This little girl’s mummy makes cakes as big as a rocket and chases the night-time monsters away. Butterflies come and listen when she sings, and the sun always shines when she wears her favourite dress. But when she tells her daughter she loves her, that’s the most magic thing of all!

This special miniature edition of this beautiful picture book is available from PanMacmillan.

Spa Sensials aren’t exactly for moms only but all moms definitely deserve to have it. Everyone knows most moms hardly have time to pamper themselves with all sort of house chores; not to mention running after the kids. So, what happens to our skin if we do not have time to lather ourselves with proper lotion or skin care? The result : dry and crack skin of course.

I am one of those mommies who hardly have any “Me Time”, so Spa Sensials Intensive Moisturizing and Conditioning Hand and Foot Treatment Sytems really attracted my attention. They consist of a pair of gloves and socks which you can easily put on in a couple of seconds and go about doing your chores. These socks and gloves are made of a proprietary, stretchable nonwoven material infused with aloe, jojoba and vitamins A, B5 and E, and are clinically proven to soothe and deeply moisturize dry, cracked skin. The material keeps moisturizers against the skin for quick absorption, enabling you to enjoy a relaxing, easy spa experience at home.

What I enjoyed about using the gloves and socks is the fact that I am free to go about doing my stuff without sacrificing my time. It’s just so flexible and yet all it takes is only 15 minutes to be effective. Spa Sensials will make great gifts for all mommies who needs some pampering and rejuvenation. Try the spa experience at home!
