Need some ideas of what to do for Mother’s Day? I’ve got a few ideas that probably aren’t original but at least they’re ideas….
- Breakfast in Bed
- Could be as simple as two slices of toast or a bagel, a glass of juice and a cup of coffee
- Cereal with fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries or perhaps, sliced bananna)
- Or as elaborate as a broiled grapefruit to start, bacon & eggs, home fries, toast and coffee
- Pedicure by the kids (well at least paint the toenails)
- Great because no matter how well or badly they’re done, she can hide them in her shoes
- Shave – she gets to enjoy your smooth face nuzzled wherever…
- Almaden Shaving Oil will provide you with Incredible Shaving Comfort so you’ll like it as much as she does
- Spa Time – OK let your imagination go…
- Draw a nice warm bubble bath
- Make sure the house is kept warm or at least where the bath is
- Quiet, relaxing music
- That does NOT mean elevator music
- Perhaps:
- “Smooth”Jazz
- “Nice” piano music
- Candles
- Her favorite wine
- You shave her legs!
- This may get tricky as you’ll want sufficient light to see, which will contradict the candles
- Make sure she has soaked her legs for a couple of minutes before you start – just like your beard, the hairs on her legs will be softer if they been wetted for a couple of minutes
- I’m not an expert on the quantity, but will guess about twice as much oil as you use on your face so 6-8 drops for the lower leg and a similar amount for her upper leg.
- Make sure you have a fresh sharp blade
- Use short strokes, don’t try to shave from her knee to her ankle (or vice-versa) in one stroke. Use the opportunity massage her as you feel for where you stopped shaving
- Rinse the razor frequently
- when done, massage a few extra drops in for extra skin conditioning!
- Draw a nice warm bubble bath
- And of course, the good old standby – Chocolate!
