Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Mother's Day is around the corner.... I'm still thinking what to do. Have you guys figured it out? Just in case no one has I thought of a few ideas that aren't too expensive and would make great presents. If you have any gift ideas then do share them as well :)

A water can filled with various knick-knacks for the gardener within. I saw Bath and Body Works have their signature collection stacked in a can for $35. Maybe you can make your own.

A trip to the spa. It sounds like a relaxing idea! You can purchase a gift certificate to a nice spa, it's a luxurious treatment and if you search around there are some spas that give a good deal during special occasions. I f a spa trip is too pricey then perhaps some spa accessories like scrubs and body oil will be a good alternative.

Flowers are the simplest gifts that's been given for every occasion. And they're the most common way of showing appreciation. You can make your own arrangement to make it more personal and pick her favorite flowers.

Another simple and inexpensive idea is to prepare a full course meal for her. Perhaps outdoors and just treat her like a queen for a day where she doesn't have to do any household chores.

For the mom who likes to bake and cook you can buy or sew an apron gift set. And you can embroider her initials or her name or maybe a short message on it to add a personal touch!

These are just some ideas that I have. If you have some ideas share them so we'll all have great ideas to prepare for Mother's Day. Ideas multiply when you share them!

The Royal Wedding

I watched the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Catherine Middleton. I didn't intend to watch it but stumbled upon their official royal channel on youtube. I felt like I would be missing out on something important in this era if I didn't watch, I'ts history in the making! And I was a bit curious too! And although Kings and Queens are things of the past they're still a symbol, a relic of an old monarchy that if wasn't present wouldn't have formed today's governments. The wedding was very long! but it was beautiful :)  

I thought her gown looked very conservative yet elegant at the same time. It was a lovely gown crafted to be worn by royalty and the delicate lace veil made the bride look very demure yet stunning.

Her sister helps carry the train, She's also wearing a lovely maid of honor's dress.

The two couple walke down the aisle with both the Prince's brother and Kate's sister following behind.

She looks gorgeous here, don't you think so? The lace detail and silver tiara with her veil make her really look like a princess!

So did anyone watch it today too? and if not will you watch the rebroadcast? What did you think of the wedding? Did you like it or not? And did you like the bride's gown?

Introduction

Welcome to my blog!

Who am I? I'm an island rose just like the title of my blog! I'm an island girl and I love the sun, sea, and sand! If I wasn't born the way I am, I probably would have been a dolphin or mermaid. I'm basically a fish out of water!

Why on earth am I blogging?
Frankly, I have some time on my hands, I'm a bit opinionated, and I felt a bit bored one day and then I discovered blogging! So I thought to myself why not voice out what I think, and talk about random important or not so improtant things! And this seems to be the perfect medium :)  I'll consider this blog as a journal that I'm willing to share. I also like to share ideas with other people! It's fun and intersting to learn something from someone else's persepective.

What am I going to blog about?
Anything to everything! I'll review whatever it is I find interesting, and what I'd like to share. But keep in mind they'll come from my perspective and we don't necessarily look at things with the same set of eyes. We all think differently but you are welcome to share your views as well :)

So whether you're just looking around or if you plan to comment and drop a line or two I'd like to say Welcome and Thanks for stopping by :)

Ciao!
