Self-care is a must nowadays, especially for our modern-day heroes on their Mother’s Day celebrations
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. With the modern mum pushing hard work’s meaning to new heights—combining motherhood, work, and leisure to the best of her abilities—she needs to take a break and relax now more than ever. And what better occasion to lavish her with love and appreciation than on her special day?
Here, we round up a list of delightful ways to spoil and pamper them, from indulging in their favourite essential oils to the finest treatments available. Let’s make this coming weekend a memorable one for these incredible women.

Spa day at home
Transform an ordinary day into an extraordinary treat by pampering your mom with a massage in the comfort of your home. Having the best essential oils, like the Saje Pain Release or the Cliganic Organic Essential Oils Set, will greatly help. Studies suggest using oils is a holistic way of reducing stress and addressing sleep problems.
Spruce the environment with the best candles—from Jo Malone and Maison Margiela to Loewe and Capri Blue.

Wellness escapades
To many, the image of a serene escape conjures a seaside retreat replete with nature sights and sounds, savoured with a cool cocktail in hand. Today, however, a vital factor plays a major role in the travel landscape: wellness is now taking centre stage, with peace of mind as the ultimate destination.
Perhaps a quick getaway to wellness destinations such as Panglao Island, Bohol, or The Farm at San Benito, Batangas, will do her and the rest of the family some good this coming Mother’s Day.
Lashes, nails, and hair salons
Treating your mom to a professional lash and nail session can also be a wonderful way to pamper her on Mother’s Day. Wellness salons like Néw Lounge, Maison by Nail Spa, and Tokyo Glam offer top-notch services—and comfortable locations to boot!
The road to glam
Help cultivate your mum’s strength with self-care, particularly through Ultherapy on Mother’s Day. This beauty treatment is the “gold standard” for some, as it is effective for accentuating jaw definition and decreasing skin sagging.
Heart Evangelista, Tatler’s April 2024 digital cover, shares that she’s “been going to Dr Aivee [Teo] since I was 21, and she would always introduce me to different machines. Ultherapy® stood out because it was something that I just needed to do at least once a year.”

Lasting memories
Start or end Mother’s Day with a photo session! Most mums love immortalising memories, and what better way to indulge them than taking it up a notch? Book a photo session in a studio with the whole family; after all, having all members present adds an extra touch of love and togetherness.
