Love Your Mom: Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

The Lady GODIVA Program launched this spring honoring Lauren Bush Lauren as the first National Lady GODIVA. The program is an international philanthropic endeavor that celebrates inspirational women locally and nationally. If you’re looking for a unique and sustainable mothers day gift, check out these bags.

For Mother’s Day GODIVA has partnered with Lauren Bush Lauren (remember Ms. Bush married Ralph Lauren’s son) and FEED to create the FEED 10 tote bag. Each bag retails for $25.00 and will provide 10 meals to primary school students through the World Food Programme school meals program in cocoa-sourcing regions on the Ivory Coast and Ghana. The FEED 10 bags were designed by Liberian artisan women who used their traditional batik print fabrics to make the exclusive GODIVA FEED 10 bags.

Each bag is hand made and offered in a variety of patterns, so no two bags are exactly alike. The Lady GODIVA Program FEED 10 bags are now available nationwide in GODIVA stores and online at www.GODIVA.com.

The FEED 10 bag is the perfect Mother’s Day gift as it benefits both women and children in Africa, with a stylish gift for your mom.

Love My Man: Short and Sweet Men’s Haircuts for Summer

We’re abuzz about the modern buzz cut for our guys. At first, we thought there was a handful of men that sadly got a bad cut and then decided to shave it all off. We’ve been there – though sadly, shaving it off was never a real option (though a definite thought!) But more and more, men’s haircuts are heading towards the short and sweet, and we kinda like it. It’s not totally cue-ball, which is nice, making the crewcut haircut perfect for Arizona summers if you can handle the look.
