Bubbles, Baubles, Beauty, and Sweets!

04/29/2021 ● By Kelli Matthews
Mother’s Day is a day to spoil mom, but it can be hard to know what to do! When in doubt, choose bubbly beverages, pretty baubles to go with a favorite sweater, pampering beauty care and delicious sweets. We have some fun finds from every category to make mom's day special. 

Bubbles 

Mionetto Prosecco Rose 

Spring means rosé! And bubbly rosé? Yes, please! This new category of sparkling wine, prosecco rosé, is a combination of the best of both worlds. Mionetto’s prosecco rosé is a blend of Glera (the prosecco grape) and Pinot Nero. Mionetto is based in the heart of Italy's prosecco region and has been producing wine since 1887. As the weather warms up and we spend more evenings on the patio, this wine is perfect for casual celebrations or just to soothe tired nerves. 

You can find it locally at Fred Meyer for under $15 or online. 

Bitter Housewife 

You don't have to be a mixologist to create a cocktail from your home bar that's both delicious and feels a little sophisticated. Bitters are often called the "salt and pepper" of cocktails. Portland, OR-based, 

Sometimes you want a drink without having a drink, you know? The Bitter Housewife Bitters and Soda are non-alcoholic. Still, they are perfect for when you want to spice up your old-fashioned or simply enjoy a cold-crafted beverage, especially on Mother's Day. 

Try an Old Fashioned Bitter Housewife with one of the bourbons from Heritage Distilling. 

Find it locally at Capella Market, Heritage Distilling or Market of Choice. Or online at: https://thebitterhousewife.com/

 Pili Ani 

Made by a mom, Pili Ani is a Philippino skincare brand focusing on sustainability and community. While serums seem to be a dime-a-dozen, this one is a little different. Pili oil is found in the pulp of the Pili tree. When combined with Elemi oil, located in the bark, it has maximum skincare benefits. Try the Ageless Concentrate serum for anti-aging and moisturizing benefits and the Essential Oil Blends set to apply to your wrists throughout the day.

Rêve Pillow 

The Rêve Pillow is a "reverse" pillow that you place over your head (like over your eyes and ears). It's filled with organic buckwheat and a blend of herbs that aid sleep and relaxation. But the key is in the weight of the Rêve. Like a weighted blanket, the Rêve invokes a deep touch pressure response that reduces anxiety and increases relaxation. We tested one for this guide, and, honestly, it works wonders. Wear it to block sound, light and provide a sense of tranquility. The fabric is an eco-friendly TENCEL made from Eucalyptus, which is wicking, cooling and as soft as washed silk. The Rêve is organic and handmade in the USA by seamstresses in a third-generation sewing company in Lancaster, PA.
