MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE 2024

April 14, 2024 janet gunn

As Mother's Day approaches, my heart is filled with gratitude for the beautiful roles I cherish: a mother to my wonderful son and a devoted dog mom to the family's loyal companion. Each day with them fills my life with love and joy, teaching me patience, compassion, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Reflecting on Mother Earth and Mother Nature, I'm reminded of their endless beauty and the invaluable lessons of strength and flexibility. Thank you for the lessons passed down from my own mother, my grandmother’s, and the lessons I learn from my son; I am so grateful and appreciate the wisdom and resilience that motherhood has taught me.

Luca & Buster - One of the best days ever!!

One thing is for sure: being a mother doesn’t come with a handbook. I am grateful for my continued growth, patience, and understanding, which never stops. Happy Mother’s Day, friends. Luca and Buster, I’m so grateful to be your mom.

May we celebrate this day with gratitude and grace.

WORKOUT WHEEL

Keeping Fit & Keeping Motivated!

I wanted to share a few fitness favorites that keep motivated on my “workout wheel of fortune.” Looks like we may have a little more time spent at home, not really sure but either way now is always a good time to get outside for a walk or a run to keep our bodies moving and the mind motivated. Lately, I’ve finished a few great books from Audible while working out. Untamed Glennon Doyle always overflowing with great insight / Quiet - The power of introverts / The Hidden Life Of Trees Beautiful read on nature and 1 more reason why we need to understand Mother Nature (mother of all mothers…). The Illusion of Money / Lifespan. Highly recommend this book on health and longevity. All of the books have been extremely informative and needed for today’s times. So while you’re at home and wondering how to jumpstart your fitness or motivate the mind hopefully you’ll find something you need to keep you grounded and informed.

Arm Weights - Just the right weight for walking or running. Super easy to put on and take off.

R0AM Sandals - I’m a big fan of R0AM Sandals, not only are the colors and styles fun and chic, they have a very low carbon footprint. creating a certified recycled fold-able box for shipping our sandals - this takes up less space, can be unfolded for ease of recycling, and also they use certified recycled tissue paper. They have figured out a way to add memory foam to the uppers which is not an easy feat and this allows the shoes to mold and form to your feet - truly creating a hug for your feet. Made in downtown L.A.

Water Bottle - A 16oz reusable glass water bottle in gorgeous colors to help you stay hydrated throughout the day and inspire you to drink more water for overall health benefits.

Sweaty Betty Tights - Lovet the fit, love the feel of her brand. These tights are snug and they just feel great on the bod.

Nike Classic Cortez - The most comfortable Nike shoe I’ve ever worn, yes ever.

Alo - A studio-to-street must-have, the Soho Pullover has a vintage, lived-in look. Cut from our signature Alolux fabric, it features a long body and long sleeves. A stylish scoop neck keeps things streamlined. I also wear this with my jeans, love the way drapes on the body.

Thank you,

Stay healthy, have a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend!

xx, Janet

Founder and creative director Tamera Hill-Norton is a globe-trotting motivator. Her brand creations are inspired by her travels and her desire to just keep moving.

It's soft, it drys super fast and looks damn good when you're traveling in your favorite destinations. Here are a few of my favorites that keep me " Movin & Groovin"

What I love about the Apple I watch; When I'm sitting at my desk for too long, it reminds me it's time to get up and move. The overall health benefits are worth the watch, and worth watching.

This oversized T is just the right amount of see-through. Wear as seen here or over your bathing suit or shorts. It's just one of those tops that really works for your fitness or your fun.
