SHOW MOM YOU CARE WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK…
OR SPLURGE IF YOU MUST!
OUR TOP 10 ECO FRIENDLY ACCESSORIES FOR MOM UNDER $25
(and a few extra more extravagant touches)!
By Carrie Pollare, Editor
Mother’s Day is upon us once again. While we love to honor mom, this year might be a little tougher to show her how much we care and keep the costs down. Of course, you could make her breakfast in bed, take her to the park for a picnic or make a wonderful Mother’s Day dinner. But, for those of you who want to get mom a little “somethin’, somethin’,” here are some terrific eco fashion accessories we’ve found that are all less than $25 — from jewelry to bags and even shoes — to bring a smile to her face and a keep the “bucks” in your wallet. But, if you have the urge to splurge on mom, we’ve included a few good “splurges” from some of our featured websites, to go with our frugal finds.
Our first SMILE video to raise awareness for animal cruelty featured funny photos of dogs and cats“smiling.” Beyond our wildest expectations, it went viral, has been viewed more than 100,000 times and is still going strong. Click here to see it. So, we’re working on the sequel, SMILE2. This time, we’ve launched a contest to find the next doggy and kitty superstars with winning smiles.
If you want to enter your precious pup or kooky kitty, mugging it up for the camera, or just want to see the hilarious entries we’ve gotten so far, click here. We’re just getting started, so keep checking back as more and more entries are posted. We promise you’ll SMILE! www.ImTiredOnline.com.

TAKE CARE OF MOM’S HEALTH… BEAUTIFULLY!
Not only are salt crystal lamps incredibly beautiful and artistic in our humble opinion, but they also have tremendous health benefits. What gift could be better for mom than that?! Every time she looks at her salt crystal work of art, she’ll think about how much you care. Studies have shown that salt crystal lamps can increase the “negative ion count,” creating a balance of ions in the air, which benefits asthma patients, people with chronic lung illnesses and allergy sufferers. They can also improve learning, memory and emotional well being. Hello?! Don’t you think mom would love that?! And, they’re just so cool looking!
Solay Wellness has an incredible selection, all mined in an ecologically responsible manner. We’re also very into the “Serenity Bowls,” a black ceramic bowl filled with 10 large Himalayan salt rocks, each with their own light. How great would that look on mom’s table… or yours, for that matter. Check them out at www.natural-salt-lamps.com.
