Cool shoes
According to Karla Birbragher, Patricia Manterola's stylist, the ultimate mommy shoe for the summer is the gladiator sandal. This one by The Flex is $130, and worth every penny.
Strong nail polish
For only $5, Gaby Espino's nail polishe are perfect for moms and they only uses FDA-approved ingredients, so it's safe for little girls as well. But, to be honest, what I love the most is that they withstand a lot of the abuse that we moms do to our nails.
A full body massage
Many moms, me included, feel overly touched, but a nice massage feels invigorating. Plus, it involves 30 or 60 minutes alone.
Try a new beauty trend
The beauty industry offers a constant flow of new products. I particularly love everything related to lashes. You will be surprised how less tired, and more sexy you look and feel with longer ones. Try extensions or false ones.
Two hours with your friends
Girlfriends are everything. A couple of hours of grown up time with your best girls can do a lot for your morale and mental health. Make the time, you will be a better person and mom after.
A cleaning service day
The feeling of having the whole house clean and in great shape is priceless. Give it to yourself, particularly if you are hosting Mother's Day this year.
An stylish everyday bag
A bag like this can work as a diaper bag, a mommy bag or a stylish boho piece, all in one. I love how the colors are so neutral, that can work with many, many looks. Who has time to change handbags? $34.99 at Target.
A subscription box
There are more and more companies that will send you a box of goodies every month for a monthly fee. Here are some. I have a couple of subscriptions and I love them!
Perfume
Few things will pick you up faster and make you feel feminine as the right perfume. This new fragrance from Victoria Secret does the trick for $68.
A red lipstick
For years I hid from red lipsticks. Lately, though, I have realized that they make me look more alive, less tired and even happier. This one not only does that, but is long lasting and keeps my lips hydrated as well. $28 at Clarins.
