This year we find a blooming great gift for your Mum. Flower-shaped Bath Bombs have been popping up all over the Lush kitchens; you can get one, two, or an entire bouquet. Everything's coming up: Candy Fluff, Sakura, and Still Life – back in this special shape only for Mother's Day. The Light Pink Mum is a blend of jasmine, orange blossom and mimosa absolute; The Pink one is a sweet fragrance of marshmallows and candy and The Yellow one is a citrus blend of lemon and orange oils with sunflower and marigold petals. Once your mum has bathed in her bouquet, she can plant the seedy tag and use the stem to remind her where the wild flowers are. Different, funny, this is a bomb bouquet to say I love you Mum.

Idylle, more than a perfume… a bath ritual
Real mist of flowers on the skin, the IDYLLE fragrance is an olfactory ode composed by Thierry Wasser like an impressionist bouquet. He married these fresh and joyous flowers with the chypre sensuality. For the bath and body line, flowers turn into petals, sensual and luscious like a caress on the skin. 4 products : shower gel, body lotion, perfumed deodorant. You will love the Body cream. With its rich yet fluid texture, it feels at once wonderfully refreshing and supremely sensual. Like a precious beauty treatment, it leaves behind a subtle shimmer of gold micro-pearls.

Do you love to garden? Green Beaver just launched 2 new products for the season, a unique blend of organic plant extracts and a cranberry delight that is also a mosquito repellent. A smart move, considering how gardens are home to many little beasts.

Gardener's body milk - nourishing and moisturizing for skin parched by the sun and wind, it was developed to restore the skin's maximum moisture levels.

Gardener's balm - designed for hands and heels, this soothing balm regenerates skin and creates a protective barrier like an invisible glove. It's also excellent for elbows and knees.

These products are sold in natural food stores across North America.

The creators from Dans un Jardin have just finished putting together the most beautiful bouquet of Flowers… a totally new look, unique perfumes and exceptional ingredients that counter the effects of free radicals, aging and dehydration.

Throughout the world, flowers are a symbol of youth, happiness and beauty. Flowers play a leading role as Caracol invites you to visit its colorful garden. Flowers bloom on pendants, on necklaces, both short and long, on rings and on earrings. They blossom on wood, shell, metal and even sequin. Wood remains the number one material, but metal continues its breakthrough at Caracol as delicate chains flirt with wood and shells. Metal is also featured alone in long necklaces, earrings and rings.

The spring season radiates in tonic shades of fuchsia, turquoise and apple green. But earth tones, which built the reputation of the brand, still remain.

Say goodbye to your gloomy eyeglass chains and stop looking older just by wearing them! With Caracol, say hello to cheerful chains made of wood beads and sequins that complement any outfit. In tonic shades for the day or black for the evening, in cord or pendant… they will delight all 40-something women who (alas) need reading glasses (already)! To view the collection, click here.
