Perfect Mother’s Day Gifts! Products So Good Your Daughters Will Swipe Them

I have two teenage daughters, and while I am the champion of the battle cry, “Teens really aren’t that bad!” I also believe in full disclosure. So I gotta be honest: my girls really are trying to drive me crazy. Not in a back-talking or flunking school kind of way, but more in a steady-drip, slow erosion of my sanity kind of deal.

Do you remember the Julia Roberts movie Sleeping with the Enemy where she is being tracked down by her abusive husband after she fakes her own death to escape? He finds out she is alive and stalks her by leaving little OCD calling cards like straightening the towels in her bathroom. I saw this in the theater and the director was so good at creating mounting tension that the audience actually screamed when she opened the cabinet door to reveal the canned goods had been neatly arranged.

My life is just like that . . . except I’m not stalked and I would gladly trade my mental well-being for my daughters tidying up the house. In my reality, they just take my stuff and squirrel it away in their rooms like magpies collecting glittery things. I swear there was a two month period where I could not find my black boots and no one would confess to swiping them. Then one day, they magically appeared back in my closet. I questioned them, but each blink of their doe-eyed innocence sent another fissure crackling through my sanity. To quote a famous ice queen, I just let it go.

Now that is an extreme example, but I am missing beauty products on the daily: an eyeliner sharpener here, a lipstick there. It really adds time to your morning routine when you’re looking for your face wash AND your marbles.

Case in point: my awesome Moody Sisters products. Jess and Whitney, two entrepreneur sisters, had contacted me to try their products because they figured Sensible Moms had sensible readers and their stuff was made for people like us. Moody Sisters Skincare is handcrafted in small batches to make the freshest natural beauty and color products that rock your skin, are gentle on the planet and even gentler on your pocket-book. They’re safe for the whole family because there are  no chemicals, fragrances, dyes, sulphates, or parabens.

Aren’t Jess and Whitney adorable?

Back to the story. They sent me their Dry Shampoo and Dry Skin Cream. I used these products for several months and then realized they were gone. Not gone in a used-up kind of way because their products are generously sized, but gone like I could not find them to take a picture.

Praise be, my search was fruitful!

The Dry Shampoo was found on Daughter #1’s vanity.

Make-up and beauty products so good, your daughters will swipe them. |All natural| Sisterhood of the Sensible MomsI can understand why she swiped it. While she does not have my curly-to-the-roots texture, she has enough natural curl that blow drying her hair straight takes some time. This magic powder makes that blowout  last an extra day. Just wake-up, rub it into your roots and bangs, and you remain glamorous without a hint of greasy. It instantly absorbs oil, leaving your scalp feeling and looking fresh and clean.

It seriously is the best dry shampoo I have ever tried because while it looks chalky just like every other one I have used, it never leaves that “powdered wig” look. It just instantly disappears after you fluff it in. All hail all natural! My only complaint was that the tin was hard to pry open, but those ladies listen attentively to feedback, and it now comes in a screw top container. Perfection improved!

The Dry Skin Cream was found in Daughter #2’s lair.

Her knuckles crack terribly during the winter–to the point of bleeding. I noticed the other week they were looking pretty good and asked her what she was doing differently.

“I’m using your cream with the cute cat on it. It’s awesome.”

I have to agree with her. I think it is every bit as good as the L’Occitane hand cream I have used for years, but for a smidgen of the cost. The only thing I miss is the L’Occitane scent. However, the unscented (clean beeswax smell) is perfect for my daughter’s sensitive hands and Moody Sisters does have a Dreamy Orange scent I would like to try.

Speaking of trying things. I would like to treat myself to their new mineral cosmetics line for Mother’s Day. It is so affordable, and I know it will be so good for my skin. I think I will just save myself some scavenger hunts by ordering sets for my girls, too, right off the bat.

    I absoLUTEly think that wearing natural makeup products make a difference! Case in point– I’m wearing all organic makeup right now– the eyeliner and mascara are just as great quality as non-organic, but they DON’T MAKE MY EYES HURT or water 🙂 🙂

      Oh Dana. That pains me you only get one day out of a blow out. Get some dry shampoo, and I truly recommend this one. We have several different kinds here, BUT this one keeps disappearing into my daughters’ bathroom. Ellen

    I am a long-time vegan, so products that do not contain animal ingredients and are not tested on animals are extremely important. And part of the reason for my veganism is a love for the environment, so the more natural a product the better.
