Toronto-Area Mother's Day Deals for Beauty Junkies

Mother's Day is fast approaching. (Psst ... May 13^th, in case you haven't marked your calendars.) After all the countless hours and seemingly limitless energy our mothers have spent taking care of us, isn't it always a great idea to treat her like a queen? This year show mom why she's tops in your books with some of these budget-friendly and beauty junkie approved gift ideas.

Turn up the heat
Let your mom in on the best-kept secret of some of the world's top athletes and A-list celebrities and send her to the Iyashi Bedrock Spa (www.iyashibedrockspa.com). Help soothe her tired muscles with an RMT/Stone Spa Combo. This Iyashi Bedrock Spa Mother's Day special includes a 60-minute massage and a 60-minute Rock Bathing session. For the uninitiated, rock bathing uses a unique stone called Black Silica to heat and detoxify the body from the inside out. The result is amazing, and so is getting 50% off on Rock Bathing!


Let it go to her head
Pamper both your mother and your wallet with a mood boosting scalp energizer at Shizen Spa ($35, www.shizenspa.ca).

Give me 10
Forget the lipstick. This year's must-have is a gorgeous set of nails. So how about treating her to a manicure-pedicure at Ten Spot Beauty Bar (www.the10spot.com)? Book a pedicure for you and your mom and the lovely gals at Ten Spot will throw in a free mini mani (file and polish).

DIY Nails
Long on style but short on cash? Forget about the professional salon and play the role of manicurist at home with Sally Henson's great line of nail polishes and nail appliqués ($4-$10, Wal-Mart).

Natural beauty
Does your mom love beauty products, but not all the chemicals that go into them? Then offer her a selection of Born Lippy lip balms from The Body Shop. They're long lasting, sweet smelling, moisturizing, paraben free, and the best part -- they're 2 for $10.

A scent of an angel
While a gorgeous bouquet of flowers is ephemeral, a bottle of heavenly perfume is sure to last much, much longer. Ultra fruity and ultra floral, Love is Heavenly is inspired by pure love. Much like the unconditional love your mother has for you ($24-$60, Victoria's Secret).


Wax on, wax off
Perhaps going for a wax isn't one of your mama's favourite things to do, but let's face it we all need a tune up every now and then. At Waxon Waxbar waxing isn't taxing on your body nor on your bank account. This Mother's Day bring your mama into the wax-only beauty bar and spend a combined total of $40 and she'll receive a $20 gift certificate (www.waxon.ca).
