the body shop honey mania collection Archives -

Moms, Grandmas, Aunties, and pet-parents deserve gifts everyday but for Mother’s Day this year May 11. Make sure you get her something she can use! The Body Shop has so many new scents, pre wrapped items at an amazing price point that your mom will surely love. I was so lucky go to their store right by Astor Place to check out all the items, smell yummy lotions and see what they had and put together a basket for Mother’s Day! By the way…My best friend and I use to give the bossiest girl in our class a mother’s day present every year. ha ha.

Not sure what to get? Stick to the most popular ingredient collections: Shea, Moringa and Satsuma

But what are some of my personal favorites in the store….Well it really depends on your mom now doesn’t it?

1. Sassy Yummy Mommy – The Raspberry collection is perfect for that young mom, that new mom and that mom who is always fun and the life to the party! I select this for Alaia Rose’s Mommy! She is a fashion stylist and a mom, tart, juicy and awesome.

2. The Adventure Mom – Whether is a rainstorm getaway fort or a picnic in the living room, this mom knows how to make fun and imagination top priority! She can create a portrait out of a plate of food and make veggies and fruits into an adventure snack. I pick the Banana shampoo for Suri’s Mom!

3. Sweetheart Mom – This mom is adored by all the other parents for her doting ways. She may not be perfect but she is a sweetheart and you can always trust her with a playdate. Being an even-kneeled mom in the midst of a ‘shit storm’ while being sweet and looking fashionable is what HoneyMania is all about. Social media maven Nori’s mom takes the cake for being a sweetheart mom! Now how many nannies does she have…. Ummm…

Stop by THE BODY SHOP’s 2,500 franchised stores in 61 countries for Mother’s Day this year for the perfect gift!

I got a super cute invitation to join The Body Shop for a “bee-autiful” presentation, during a media breakfast at the Toronto Botanical Gardens last week. This was our chance to get the “buzz” on their new “Honeymania” collection, and other fabulous launches by The Body Shop, like the new Colour Crush make-up and Chamomile range. I’ve never been to the Toronto Botanical Gardens, so I was definitely excited for the experience, and I’m always down to hear about and/or experience anything by The Body Shop.

We began the morning with a delicious Honey inspired menu of breakfast treats, while learning all about the Honey Mania collection, and other future Body Shop collections, then it was time for some fun! We were lead into another room, where we got to try out the Honey Mania collection, as well as the new Colour Crush make-up line, which I have to mention, left me pleasantly surprised at how highly pigmented the eyeshadows and lipsticks were!

Yummy Honey Manicures!

“We use Sheka honey organically harvested from the Ethiopian rainforest. It has a distinctive floral taste and smell because of the wildflowers the bees visit to make the honey… Beza Mar are experts in Ethiopian Honey, are dedicated to improving the livelihoods of Ethiopian beekeepers and are extremely strict about the quality of their honey. They’re the first honey producers in Ethiopia to be delivering honey to foreign buyers – and our trade brings a precious source of income….”- The Body Shop
