<p>A mother’s touch and love is unrivalled compared to most relationships. So, when Mother’s Day comes around each year most of us become overwhelmed with the thought of buying a gift that doesn't compare to what our mothers, grandmothers and other inspiring women in our lives, have done and given us. </p>
<p>The act of loving presence is one of the most powerful gifts you can give, and one that is too often forgotten. Being fully present is such a powerful, more intimate, meaningful and rare gift to give a mother and is precious when time may be of the essence.</p>
<p>Give mindful gifts that can be used together, as a bonding experience or assist in the quality of the time spent with each other. This DIY hand treatment is the perfect gift.</p>
<p><strong>Top tips for the best at-home manicure and hand massage for the special women in your life this Mother’s Day</strong></p>
<p>1. Set up a sanctuary in her living room with a soft towel and your favourite essential oil blend burning.</p>
<p>2. Make a little pot of calming herbal tea and a bowl of warm water scented with essential oils to rest your hands in.</p>
<p>3. Shape the nails with a crystal nail file. Metal files and emery boards tear the nail as they file, leaving rough, sharp edges. The crystal file glides across the nail tip so you can quickly and easily shape your nail to a flawless, smooth finish. Crystal files seal the nail tip as you file, preventing water, dirt and debris from seeping into the nail tip.</p>
<p>4. Rest your mum’s hands in the warm “bath” and focus on your breathing for a couple of minutes, breathing out any worries, and breathing in relaxation and the scent of pure essential oils.</p>
<p>5. Remove the hands from the water and gently pat dry. Apply a nourishing natural and organic hand cream, such as the AEOS enriching spelt hand cream, to her hands and forearms, paying particular attention to the cuticles. This is a beautiful opportunity to gift your mum a mini massage to help further alleviate any stress or tension.</p>
<p>6. Optional (if you like a splash of colour): Apply two coats of nail lacquer. Remember to choose a toxin-free nail lacquer brand that is free from formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, camphor and animal derivatives. To maintain a perfectly polished mani, keep the AEOS Biodynamic Nail & Cuticle Oil in your handbag and apply each day when you have a spare moment.</p>
