Spring ushers in a celebratory season beginning with two
very important lovely ladies: Mother Earth and Mom. Both equally deserve praise and attention for their
unconditional love and generous heart.
For the latter, we shower her with priceless gems such as a hug, a phone
call or remembrance, to treasures made with love.
Recycling the notion that flowers, accessories, and home
décor warms her heart on her special day, here are a few green versions both
she and Mother Nature can appreciate.
Green Love
Pamper her to all-natural, cruelty-free Herban Lifestyle bath and beauty
products. Herbologist Mary Kearns
concocts each item made to order.
Roses don’t necessarily come in the flower variety. Miami-based jewelry designer Catalina
Lemaitre works with Colombia artisans to create vibrant accessories handmade
from natural and reclaimed materials such as orange peel and coffee
grounds. Shop Calamarie.
Escama Studio continues to refine its design aesthetic with
this stunning Metallic
Clutch ($150, sold through Virtuarte). Local artisans fasten post-consumer
recycled aluminum pulltabs with intricate weaving techniques. Simply divine!
Wrap her in a fair trade, hand-print scarf by A Peace Treaty ($210 - $160).
TOMS canvas shoes
keep her going all day! Treat her
to the Toms Love Moms special edition and another mom a world away receives a
pair, too. ($54)
Bring India to her through embroidered
peacock pillows ($45 each) impeccably handmade by Indian artisans (sold
through SERVV, a fair trade non-profit).
Travel to the rainforest virtually to observe how
chimpanzees nurture their own in Chimpanzee
by Disney. Ticket sales benefit
the Jane Goodall Foundation.
