Mother of the Bride, Mothers Day Competition





Most of us turn into Bridezilla at one time or another, whether we like to admit it or not.  Usually, however there is only one witness, your Mom.  This is an extremely stressful time for the mother of the bride.  She has to be so many things to so many people but most of all she has to see her little girl walk down the aisle and away from her side.  This is the woman who has been someone’s daughter, someone’s lover, a caregiver and a nurturer.  She planned your first birthday, took care of you when you were sick, consoled you when you were heartbroken and now she will be there on the most wonderfully special day of your life…..your wedding.  This is no easy feat.  She will cry when you put your dress on for the first time, help you through the stressful times and agree with you when you are clearly turning into bridezilla, telling everyone else how well you have handled the stress of organising a wedding.  

She will fold invitations, remember the things that you forget, pay vendors and still love you at the end of it.  Why? Because she is your mother, she has brought you into this world and because she loves you with every bit of her soul.

Your Moms efforts should not be expected or go unnoticed by you.  Yes, she will still love you after you abuse her compassion but you need to love her back.

Before the wedding invite your Mom to a special day with just you.  Go to a botanical garden for a picnic or go to a spa for some relaxation sessions.  You could also get a bottle of wine and buy some beauty treats for Mom, like Esses' organic skincare range for more mature skins. 

COMPETITION

Please send your name, the date of your wedding and what eco steps you have taken in your wedding plans to myecowedding@telkomsa.net.  Your wedding will be featured on myecowedding.blogspot.com and you will also receive African Organics shampoo and conditioner and Esse serum and moisturiser.
Competition closes 6 May 2010.

African Organics has a wonderful array of organic hair care items and Esse who they are associated with have the most amazing skin care products.  They are giving away a shampoo for dry/treated hair and a conditioner as well as a rich moisturiser for mature skins and a skin serum.  These are incredible products and I swear by them because I use them myself.  Not only will you be giving Mom a fantastic gift but you will also be introducing her to products that are eco friendly and organic. 

Esse

Esse full facial and body care range comes as close to organic as there is to find. Certified organic by EcoCert, animal friendly by Beauty Without Cruelty SA, fair trade by PhytoTrade Africa and endorsed by the Vegan Society, discerning consumers can be assured of effective and ethical beauty treatments.  Esse incorporates many of Africas Sub Saharan plant ingredients, all sustainably harvested, for their amazing skin care benefits.  All products are 100% bio-degradable and free of all undesirable ingredients including parabens, petrochemicals, pthalates, synthetic fragrance and artificial colourant. Products are packaged in glass, for easy re-cycling and Esse offers a re-cycle initiative to any customers wishing to return empties.

African Organics
African Organics presents for the first time in South Africa, a 100% natural range of hair and body care products.  With years of experience in formulating to natural and organic standards, our formulators were presented with a brief to produce a 100% natural range that everyone can afford to use without compromising on quality.

Rooted in Africa, the plant ingredients we include have adapted to the harshest conditions on the planet by producing some of the most powerful protective ingredients known to man.  The sourcing of these ingredients also creates opportunities for local communities to benefit from the profits in sales of these raw materials through fair trade initiates.  These initiatives ensure sustainable harvesting and fair retribution.

In the interests of healthier humans inhabiting a healthier Earth, we are committed to not using parabens, petrochemicals, sulphated surfactants, animal products, ethoxylated or PEG ingredients, propylene glycol or any other ingredients red-flagged by leading international certification authorities.
