Mother’s Day is around the corner and I have a wonderful selection of gift ideas guaranteed to impress Mom!
I just discovered The Bilt-House when I was out to dinner on the Westside last week. It’s 4 times the fabulous, with 4 locations (Buckhead East, Buckhead West, Westside and Historic Roswell) full of super chic styles– with clothing, accessories, shoes, boots and even some kitchen items. If you’re lucky enough to run into owner Shannon Kotze while you’re shopping, ask her about the latest styles she’s brought in for her international selection of vendors. We had a blast together at the store choosing what we were going to feature in our segment on NBC!
By the way, notice my gorg “Hamptons Chic” outfit with the popped collar, a Minnie Rose Poncho and we are both wearing Up! Pants from a designer in Montreal. These pants literally make you look a size smaller than you are! Wear them “the tighter the better” as Shannon says. Here are some other beautiful options for Mom:
This Halter Chain dress by Muse is perfect for a Mother’s Day brunch, dinner out or an outdoor wedding. Big, bold, floral prints are in, and what I love about this silhouette is that it’s forgiving and flowy. Plus, you don’t need a necklace with the gold chain neckline.
The ChaCha dress is so versatile and comes in an assortment of colors, including this lime green. It’s a style that works for all age groups (and those ruffles hide the problem areas!) I love it paired with the jean jacket and Old Gringo Boots!
Don’t have Mom’s size or style down? You can’t go wrong with an assortment of local artisan, Shelley Kyle’s lotions, body powders and candles.
If you want to add some luck of the Irish to your Mother’s Day gifts, The Irish Store has a beautiful selection of handcrafted products, from clothing to jewelry. Check out the 2 products we featured on Atlanta & Company:
The Belleek Mothers Blessing Plate 9″
This ornamental plate is crafted in Ireland by Belleek, a company famous for making the finest quality Parian china. Belleek china is famous for its excellence – any piece with the tiniest flaw is destroyed. This plate is hand-painted with an Irish Blessing, in appreciation of the wonderful work mothers do. The blessing plate is delivered from Ireland in a Belleek gift box by TheIrishStore.com.
Connemara Marble Mother’s Love Sterling Silver Pendant
This sterling silver pendant is set with an oval piece of Connemara Marble, Ireland’s only natural gemstone. Every piece of Connemara Marble is unique, with a distinctive grey-green coloring. The back of the pendant is engraved with an image of Jesus’ Mother Mary in ion. This beautiful and meaningful pendant can be worn two ways, with either the marble stone or the image of Mary facing outwards.
In the mood for scrumptious Irish cheeses, butters and food? The Irish store has a delicious selection of foodie gift baskets that I featured on my St. Patrick’s Day segment.
Now let’s talk beauty products! Why not give Mom the gift of anti-aging? I’m so excited to introduce you guys to a brand new line of skin care by LifeVantage True Science. It’s a revolutionary 4 step skin regimen that is clinically proven to provide extraordinary results.
What I love about this brand, is unlike most skincare lines, True Science is made with all natural plant extracts– it rejuvenates skin from a cellular level– so you see results that last.
I’ve always been frustrated trying to figure out- is my skin dry or oily or combination? Which kind should I get? Because as you know, depending on the season, how hydrated you are, your skin is different every single day. But True Science is perfectly pH balanced, so no matter where you are on the oily to dry spectrum, it always brings you back to normal. In 4 weeks skin appears renewed and visibly younger looking.
So, there are 4 products I want to share with you– they are available individually or as a set. Get one for Mom and yourself! The Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser has a light foaming action that does 2 things: it removes impurities without stripping the natural oils and it hydrates skin.
The second step is using Perfecting Lotion, which is in a category of it’s own— it is like a hybrid between a lotion and a toner. I often get really blotchy and have some uneven skin tone. This product diminishes dark spots and discoloration and really helps improve skin tone. Look at the before and after pic with 56 days of daily use– skin looks smoother and pores look smaller!
The Eye Corrector Serum is a game changer. And a little secret I discovered– not only can you put it around your eyes to reduce lines and puffiness— you can put it on those feathery lip lines and laugh lines too!
The 4th part of the skincare line is True Science’s Anti-Aging Cream. Ladies, this seriously botox in a bottle. Use it regularly and watch your crows feet disappear and reduce those forehead lines. And it smells amazing! It makes your skin look dewey and radiant. Check out how dramatic the difference is in the facial lines in this before and after pic!
The results truly speak for themselves:
In a clinical study, 95% of people had more moisture and hydrated skin, 94% reported Smoother Skin, 88% had Brighter and more luminous skin and 87% had younger looking skin.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful Moms out there— and big kisses to Mama Parker!
