THE BEST Mother's Day Gift Idea, EVER!

Mother's Day is quickly approaching. It was also brought to my attention earlier today that May 1-7th is "RECOGNIZING A MOTHER'S STRENGTH AFTER LOSING A CHILD" WEEK. If you or someone you love is affected by losing a child, maybe we can do a little something to help get them through this? Losing a child is the hardest thing a Mother will ever have to go through in her life. I've got a few great friends who are mothers and some who are still struggling to get pregnant and have, in some way, lost a child. I'm planning on getting a few of my closest friends some of the products from THIS amazing site for Mother's Day!!! It's also a great idea for your very own Mom, Grandmother or another friend or family member that you want to recognize. And as my own grandmother would say, "These are cheap enough to consider them as little 'stocking stuffers'! You can even get away with buying yourself a few items (dare I say it??) FOR YOURSELF!!!!!

It's not that I think that a little bit of AMAZING smelling shampoo, conditioners, body wash and shame cream (ect) isn't enough to make her feel totally pampered and loved, but it's a start. And we ALL deserve that. My heart goes out to those women who are struggling to get pregnant this Mother's Day and it's my prayers that everyone who already has a child will realize what a special and unique gift they've been given...and enjoy some time with their own child(ren). You only get this ONE life to live. It's a good idea to live each day to the fullest. :o)

I've personally tried MANY products from Gudonya as well as many different scents and I can honestly say that I've never been let down.

Here what the website says about the different products of theirs I've tried...

Products:

Salty DAWG Shampoo
"Due to its HIGH salt content, when you dip your fingers into this jar the cream has the "gritty" feel of the salt in your hand, and when you put it on your already wet hair and mix EXTRA water to lather (this is important)...POOF!! all the gritty salt disappears and a Ton (NOT KIDDING HERE!) of lather envelopes your hair with its "loving" embrace!!! A little "Dawg" goes a LONG way!!! (I put a dollop the size of a nickle or dime) It is packaged up in a full 8 ounces (in weight) tub that will last a good long time...Unless it is stolen by other family members!!!! Grab a "Dawg" today...You won't regret it!!!"

Intense Hair Conditioner:
"To use, simply shampoo your hair (preferably with a little Salty Dawg Shampoo, which you can find in our shop!) rinse well, apply enough INTENSE Conditioner to cover your hair, and then rinse out....If you need a little EXTRA kick, let it sit on your hair for a few minutes before the rinse...it us up to you!!! We have had reports (especially folks with normal to oily hair) that you might only need to use this conditioner a few times a week to keep it all "in style"!"

VEGAN Whipped Clean Body Wash:
"It looks like whipped cream but that phrase was already taken. It's a pretty solid mixture that lathers easily in the hardest of waters and is kind to your skin."

VEGAN Shave Cream:
"I am sure you know how to shave, but with this formula, you can do it a couple of different ways...You can just suds up and use the slippery foam just like a traditional shave bar...OR you can wipe it directly on the area, hit it with a little water, shave up a storm and then lather it up on the rinse...it is UP TO YOU!!! One last thing, Whipped Shave reportedly works fantastically well on every area in need of a shave, even intimate shaving."

Solid Perfume: $3.50 and 75 cents to ship this product!
"These cute little .33 ounce vials are filled to the brim with wonderfully fragrant and long-lasting solid perfume. Carry them anywhere - in your pocket or purse - for anytime touch-ups. The easy-open screw top containers are perfect for anywhere and anytime!"

And the Scents I've personally tried are and how the website describes the scent...

Oh So Delicious *top three favorites*
"(Before I describe this, I have to tell you something. Although I'm not a huge apple nut, this literally made my jaw drop when a friend of mine wore it one day. This fragrance really is SO DELICIOUS! (Our rendition of Donna K.'s tribute to the Big Apple, this fragrance is aptly named. The fresh, sweet, crisp apple dominates the whole surprisingly wholesome, yet provocatively tempting, composition. Fresh and flirty top notes of Florida grapefruit, fresh cucumber and deep magnolia first abound. Sexy innocence takes the show with a voluptuously pleasing trio of white muguet, rose and violet entwined with delightful apple and tuberose. Warm woods and white amber wrap it all into such a tidy arrangement, even the mafia couldn't refuse!)"
Spa Fusion *my all time favorite scent!*
(Seriously, this is the best scent we have tested when it comes to a fresh, green, revitalizing spa scent! This exceptional fragrance sports cooling greens, invigorating ginger and thirst-quenching melons. Close your eyes and let the aroma whisk you away ....is that a waterfall I hear?)
Spiced Lime *top three favorites*
This Manly sent is a tart, yet spiced scent that is very invigorating and masculine, yet not too spicy like an older mans wardrobe...It is just right...Your man will smell great, clean and fresh, with not too much perfume or SUPER SPICED!!!!
Kiwi Cherry Blossom
"A fresh, clean and fun scent with a fruit twist. It has a very soft musky hints with fruity fun from kiwi, strawberries, peaches, raspberries, nectarines, pineapple, cherries and watermelon. Add the freshness of green tea, sweet pea and muguet. An incredible experience!"
Tahitian Vanilla
"Vanilla is so sexy, and our Tahitian Vanilla Whipped Clean is at the top of the list. This vanilla is so incredible I couldn't keep my hands off this one! A bit citrusy and super fresh. This whipped clean is a snowy white and is better than a morning coffee. I had to almost chain this one to me or it would have been stolen by my husband for sure. No vanilla extract has ever smelled so good."
Mayan Gold
"Exotic, sweet, warm and spicy can all be used to describe this incredible fragrance. The most well-balanced bond of sandalwood, patchouli, musk and amber. With them, merge tangerine, mango and clary sage. Lastly, it's all joined by a trace of vanilla, nutmeg and Mexican chocolate... sound like an odd blend? It's truly a "must sniff" to believe - and believe, you WILL!--VERY UNISEX!!!"
Lavender
"REAL Lavender Essential oil gives this whipped clean its TRUE scent! Nothing synthetic, just real honest to goodness lavender...If you like it REAL for lavender, Come and get it!!!!"
Sandalwood and Amber
"This is an exotic sent with a mixing harmony of woodsy, warm sandalwood and sensual soft amber. A wonderful blend of two old time incense favorites, earthy and wondrous! "
Island Coconut
"A true sweet Coconut, not sugary or candy smelling, just true unadulterated Coconut fragrance!Rich, Musky and Refreshing...Get out the hammock, the COOL drink and RELAX (at least in the tub or shower!!)"

I can't begin to explain how luxurious I feel after using my shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The perfume is another favorite of mine. Once you find YOUR favorite scent, get some perfume to go w/ it to give yourself a little "boost" during the day. ALL of the scents I've tried have been DIVINE! There has not been once scent that I didn't like and I'm pretty picky when it comes to things like that.

I highly suggest you at least try the vegan foaming body wash. You'll be addicted, like me, in NO time. They even have a $5 flat rate shipping selection where ANY items you purchase from there will be shipped for $5.

Try something! You know you want to!

Teela got me the Spa Fusion & OH So Delicious Body Wash and it is so wonderful. It feels like SPA material for sure. It takes me out of the moments of the every day nonsense & gives me "ME TIME".

I recommend it highly :)

Thanks again Teela!
