It's not usual for me to do 2 blogs in one day but I am still laughing over my experience with my mothers day present from my beautiful youngest daughter that I wanted to share it with all mothers who I am sure at one point have all had the awesome mothers day present picked out especially for them!
This year I was "lucky" enough (if you asked my youngest daughter I am the luckiest mum in the world!) to receive a fluoro lolly pink strawberry body butter that she personally hand picked out of the number of beautiful gifts there were to choose from at the mothers day stall at school! I did a pre-emptive strike this year by mentioning to the girls about some lovely scarves I had seen while helping set up for the day. My eldest daughter understood this hint and picked me out a beautiful red scarf (red is also my favourite colour). My youngest however knew better than I did and opted for my awesome surprise.
After a lovely morning I was still feeling a bit sore from the gym on Friday so hubby suggested it might be a good idea to have a hot bath and soak my sore muscles. I can say that it was an absolutely fantatstic idea and it made me feel so much better. What I wasn't expecting was my little miss following him into the bathroom with my special tub of body butter for me to be able to soften my skin after a long soak in the tub!
The first thing I noticed when was the bright pink colour (I actually thought she had bought me a tub of play putty or something like that when I first saw it). Then the next thing I noticed what the smell! It was a mixture of chemical and vomit and was absolutely frightening!! Upon application of the body butter the last thing I noticed was the burning feeling. Oh my God!! The itch and pain was instantaneous!!
After my relaxing bath and then my body butter chemical peel I came out and sat down and the look on my little ones face was worth every skin cell that was burnt off my body! She snuggled up against me and sniffed my skin and told me I smelled like the prettiest mum in the world! She stayed with me for the next few hours sniffing my arm and telling me how pretty I smelled. I was so grateful when bedtime came around and I could finally wash off the body butter before I lost my last layer of skin (and after she went to sleep so she was none the wiser!)
Even though there was several hours of burning and itching skin it was definitely worth it to see the proud look on her face for buying for what she thgouth was such an awesome present. This to me is what mothers day is all about! I love the fact that kids can have an option of some pretty good stuff and they always seem to sift through it and find the crap! I know this is revenge for the presents I picked for my mum and I hope the cycle keeps going so I can one day hear about my grandkiddies picking something just as awesome for my two beautiful girls and I can remind them of this day!
Happy mothers day everyone! I hope you enjoy your chemical peel body butters and special bling!
