Last Minute Gift Ideas for Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is only a few days away. And you're probably pondering what to get the woman who seems to have everything?  


Before you sprint to Bath and Body Works for yet another body lotion-shower gel-and candle-gift set, here are a few last minute gift ideas:


Bonnie Marcus Collection: This fashionable paper line includes stylish notepads and pocket pads, perfect for shopping lists and simple reminders. The "Super Mom" notepad ($7.50) is my fave.


Doris New York hair products:  Move over Carol's Daughter, there's a new mother-daughter hair care team in town.  Made by New York Mom Doris Duperley and her daughter Marlene, these sweet-smelling, nourishing products for women of color can be used on both natural and relaxed hair and will give Mom's hair a healthy sheen. I'm a fan of the light-weight Hair Cream ($15). Get free shipping on your first order!


Charmed Circle jewelry: This new celebrity adorned line includes charm bracelets, personalized letter necklaces, love capsules and engraved love letters that carry special secrets and sweet messages. My pick is the "Words to Live By" Bangle ($130-$160).

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp...
