All moms are beautiful, but they don’t always reward themselves as much as they deserve — they need us to help them along! Mother’s Day is a great chance to pick up a treasured product that your mom loves but would rarely splurge on for herself.

I love Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum, which uses niacinamide to help regenerate damaged skin. The Regenerist line also includes moisturizer, body lotion and facial peels — try putting several products together in a gift basket.

Here are some ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day free of romantic pressure:
…
Don’t limit yourself to tradition. No matter how many ads you see for diamond jewelry or fancy cologne, despite how many boxes of chocolate and bottles of wine you walk past in the stores, nothing says that you have to buy traditional Valentine’s Day products to have a romantic holiday. By the same token, there’s no reason you can’t celebrate a fulfilling holiday without investing in expensive traditional Valentine’s Day experiences like eating out and taking trips. Be creative. If you have an idea that doesn’t fit the mold of what’s traditionally considered romantic, go ahead and pursue it anyway. For example, maybe you and your spouse are looking forward to choosing materials for a home improvement project you plan to work on together. In that case, you both might actually enjoy spending Valentine’s Day shopping at hardware store, however unromantic that might seem to others.

Stretching is fundamental to good health. It lengthens muscles, improves flexibility and joint range of motion, gets blood flowing, and prepares joints for work. Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body’s soft tissue to prevent or reduce pain and stress.

Who says the road to nirvana is lined with megabucks and designer handbags? Experts are now discovering it’s the little (and often free!) things that lead to true happiness — like these bliss boosters.
By Colleen Rush
There’s good news in the joy business these days: Recent research suggests it’s not a fancy lifestyle that makes people happy. “Rather, any effortless pleasure or thing that strengthens social bonds or gives you a positive sense of control has measurable mental benefits,” says Leaf Van Boven, associate professor of psychology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. So we teased out the latest tips from positive-psychology pros. They’re all easy and potent…and most don’t cost a dime.

Flower Power
A cheap sunflower stem for your desk gives a bunch of benefits in one. It has associations with the sun and an almost human-looking face, and the color of its petals has been shown to evoke positive emotions. Plus, people with plants in their offices actually feel happier about their jobs, according to a new study in HortScience.

1. Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it’s a stress buster. Think ‘move’ in small increments of time. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or tai chi or kickboxing. But that’s great when you’re up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha…. Then do it!
