Give flowers that last this Mother’s Day. Bstudio’s floral necklaces, rings, pillowcases, and lavender sachets are hand-embroidered using linen, silk, and cotton. Unlike real flowers, these flowers won’t wilt, lose their petals, or need water. They are a lovely keepsake and perfect for springtime.
With so many flowers to choose from, perhaps you will find one with special symbolism for Mom. The blue Forget-Me-Not necklace, $40, represents love and remembrance. The purple rose necklace, $45, is a symbol for love, mysticism, and royalty.

Be Styled
Reboot Mom’s wardrobe this Mother’s Day with Shop Your Closet. Hire Eve Cantor to revamp Mom’s style using clothes she already owns.
Cantor said in an email correspondence with The Epoch Times: “What a fabulous Mother’s Day present. There have been a number of mother/daughter teams who have used my service, each one gifting to the other.”
She continued, “For daughters, this is a wonderful way to let mom[s] know they are beautiful as they are. They don’t need to go out and purchase a slew of new outfits to enhance their wardrobe or improve their image. They can benefit by having an experienced personal stylist in the privacy of their own home who helps elicit their personal style through encouragement and validation, and refreshes their existing wardrobe by mixing and matching individual pieces, or updating with some current and beautiful accessories.
“The joy a daughter will feel is indescribable when she observes mom feeling revitalized by her many new looks created from what she already owns,” said Cantor.
We love the idea of reusing, renewing, and donating used clothing. The cost is $200 for the first three hours and $50 each additional hour. Cantor can be reached through the Shop Your Closet website or through the Shop Your Closet Facebook page.
Be Empowered
