Mother’s Day 2015 is fast approaching, this means it is time to not only buy the ideal gift for Mom, but plan the entire day! Why not spend Mother Day 2015 at Santana Row! You can start the day off with a fabulous Mother’s Day brunch. I highly recommend LB Steak, Left Bank, and Village California Bistro. They have amazing brunch menus for Mother’s Day and the food is always fabulous. 

After brunch, why not take a stroll around Santana Row for some shopping, and then enjoy dessert at Cocola. They have an amazing array of sweet treats as well as coffee, tea, and yummy hot cocoa. All of that eating, shopping, and walking can be tiring. This means it is time to treat Mom to something special and relaxing! Why not book a relaxing spa day at Burke Williams!

No Mother’s Day is complete without a fabulous dinner after a relaxing day at the spa. Why not treat Mom to a beautiful dinner at Sino, Straits, or Blowfish Sushi! These three restaurants are personal favorite’s of mine. They offer chic decor, and delicious cuisine. Love that!

Visit SantanaRow.com for restaurant contact information, or OpenTable.com to make both brunch and dinner reservations on Mother’s Day. Santana Row is a hot destination for Mother’s Day (of course!) so you will want to ensure you have a table. 😉

Of course, no Mother’s Day is complete without a beautiful gift! There are so many fabulous gifts for Mother’s Day throughout Santana Row, it is difficult to narrow down the choices! So, to make life a little bit easier, I have picked out a few fabulous gifts from retailers at Santana Row to make Mom’s day as special as can be. Everything pictured below is currently on store shelves at Santana Row.

Rituals is one of my favorite bath and body brands. So, when they contacted me about reviewing their Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu, light bed and body perfume, I was thrilled! After all, what in the world is “light bed and body perfume?”

I love fragrance, in the form of perfume. I also love home fragrance, but all in one? I was not really sure what to expect. I was thrilled when I found Rituals Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu light bed and body perfume worked as a beautiful, light citrus body fragrance and also worked well as an air freshener for the bed. Love that!

Since Rituals Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu light bed and body perfume is safe on textiles, hence the designation “bed perfume,” It is OK to spray on after getting dressed; or even when wearing crisp, white clothing! Ritual Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin & Yuzu light bed and body perfume is made to be sprayed on both the body and fabric. This means that is will not stain textiles (fabric) and does not contain alcohol. This added benefit makes it ideal for sensitive skin. Love that!

The Mandarin & Yuzu scent is fresh and pretty. I am looking forward to trying more products by Rituals in this fragrance group. I am also looking forward to trying more light bed and body perfume from Rituals!

Agraria Bitter Orange candle in woven crystal review

agraria bitter orange candleagraria bitter orange candle holiday giftPictured: Candle in woven crystal c/o Agraria shown in Bitter Orange.

If you have been following along lately, you may already know I am a huge fan of Agraria home fragrance. I have Agraria AirEssence Diffuser’s in my home already, so I really wanted to try one of Agraria’s candles in order to experience more of Agraria’s home fragrance products. I love burning scented candles in the cool, late-fall, and winter weather. There is something warm and comforting about a candle in cold weather. Since one of my favorite fragrances to wear is orange, I thought it would be amazing to scent my home with an orange laced candle.

I was thrilled when I received my Bitter Orange scented candle from Agraria. Not only did the candle smell amazing, it was housed in a beautiful woven crystal jar. I love the idea of a formal candle and I decided to display it in my formal living room with a crystal turtle, and next to one of my kids baby pictures. Not only did the candle look amazing on my end table, it filled the room with a fabulous, bitter orange scent. Love that! 

Although I tend to wear citrus scents in the warm, summer months, there was something warm and inviting about the Bitter Orange scent from the Agraria candle which fit perfectly into the cool weather. 

This beautiful candle is housed in woven crystal with a silver-plated cap. The cap features Agraria’s crest stamped onto the top. Agraria’s Bitter Orange candle in woven crystal not only looks amazing in my home, it smells amazing too. I cannot wait to fill my home with more candles from Agraria! I also plan to pick up a few to give out as Christmas gifts this year. Perfection!

Agraria’s Bitter Orange candle in woven crystal can be found online here and here.
