Gift Guides Galore: Last Minute Mother's Day Gift Guide




Happy May! One of the gift guides I am always searching for is one for last minute Mother's Day Gifts. I always seem to think I have "one more week" before the date, but never the case! Anyone else? 

I've rounded up some of my fave gifts to give! Some may deliver after Mother's Day, but it's the thought that counts. 


Parkdale Butter: 


I can confirm that my Mum LOVES these products! She uses the Espresso Face Balm and the Avocado Hand Balm daily. A Toronto based company, all products from The Parkdale Butter Company are organic, vegan and made with love (it's seriously an ingredient in all their products). 

Recommendations: 
Avocado Hand Cream 
Espresso Face Balm
Cocoanut Body Butter 
Sweet Orange Lip Butter
You can use the code PBJESS for 15% off of your order. 

You can find their website: here.



Arbonne: 


Vegan, cruelty free and vegan my Mom loves this mascara! It doesn't smudge, conditions your lashes and washes off easily with cleanser and water. One of my fave mascaras as well, I have one in both my makeup bag and my travel bag. It retails fo $30 and, Arbonne offers a discount on the product if you sign up as a Preferred Client although not necessary. 

You can shop: here. 



Food Basket


Gift your Mom the gift of an already decided meal this year! I am personally a huge fan of Good Food boxes, and I know it's a gift I would personally love (not that I'm a Mom, but whatevs). You can select 2-4 recipes per week, and gift as many weeks of meals as you'd like. Each recipe comes with instructions, all of the ingredients and they even have an easy prep line where everything comes pre chopped. 

You can received $40 off your meal box, using this link. 


Any other gift guides that you'd like to see? So far I have Father's Day & a Summer Wedding gift guide in the works! But feel free to comment any other guides you'd like to see.

Fab February: Anna Edwin Makeup

Anna Edwin is a Norwegian blogger. She began her blog in 2009 and she blogs about everything from hair to bowling (well maybe not actually bowling). Her hair and makeup is always flawless, nice and bronzed.  So I thought it would be perfect for spring and to warm us all up. If you want to check out Anna's blog click  here  (her blog is obviously in Norwegian so you'll have to press the translate button). I searched her blog and tried to use the same products that she does. Let's get started on her makeup look! Face: 1. Start with your favourite face primer. Jessie's Picks: Too Faced Primed and Poreless Skin Smoothing Primer. Korres Greek Yoghurt Face Primer. 2. Next apply your concealer underneath your eyes and on any blemishes. Jessie's Picks: Mac Moisturecover Concealer. TheBalm Time Balm Concealer. 3. On a big fluffy face brush buff a matte powder foundation all over your face and down your neck. Jessie's Picks: Bare Mineral Matte Foundation Bro...

Whatever Wednesdays: Victoria Beckham Hair How-To

  Victoria Beckham Ponytail: With her long dark brown hair, Victoria Beckham's hairstyle of choice has become the ponytail. This style is quick, and ultra chic. 1. Start with day-old hair (or even if you are starting with freshly washed hair) and spritz with a volumizing dry shampoo. 2. Pull your hair back with your fingers, smoothing over any stray hairs. 3. Once you have your ponytail in the desired place, fasten with a hair tie. 4. Take your straightener and run it over the ends of your ponytail, to give it a sleek effect. 5. Add a tiny dot of shine serum to the ends. Simply rub the serum between your palms, and run your hands over the end of your ponytail. Voila! Tu es fini, and you have a simple and chic hairdo. xx JD Please leave me a comment let me know what you think!  If you have any questions or suggestions: Email me: jessicadonna96@gmail.com

Throwback Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! If you know me, you'll know that I have a slight makeup problem... I have way too much! But I can't help it, I just love it so, and I honestly look forward to putting my makeup on every morning. So today I decided I would do a quick post on my fave go to glam look for daytime. It looks quite heavy, but because I'm using mineral makeup it feels like I'm wearing no face makeup at all! My skin is quite sensitive and dry, so for the longest time I thought that mineral makeup wouldn't work for my skin, but boy was I wrong! I was at Winners recently and saw that they had a couple Bellapierre Cosmetics mineral makeup sets on sale for $14... So I thought I'd try it out, and now I can never go back to regular liquid foundations! Mineral makeup is considered to be better for your skin as it is natural, and usually only contains 3-4 natural ingredients. Bellapierre foundation has an SPF of 15 which can cause a little bit of flashback, so if ...
