Sick of hearing from us every day? Click here to get the Sunday only send.
Rise and shine, members! How good does it feel to have made it to the end of another week? The weekend is within arm’s reach, ready to whisk us away on a whirlwind of relaxation and excitement, and we hope you all have some nice plans ahead.
But hold on for just a moment because something special is approaching — Mother’s Day! Yes, it’s this Sunday, so for those of us who occasionally struggle with dates like me (Vella), here’s a friendly reminder to plan something unforgettable for the extraordinary women in your lives. Speaking of which, I must confess that I haven’t quite sorted out my plans yet for my incredible mum and adored aunt, who I consider my second mother. You see, my aunt, who doesn’t have children of her own, has showered my sister and I with boundless love and caring for us alongside our biological mum. So, I plan to spoil her on Sunday, too. Any gift ideas for these remarkable women? Perhaps a rejuvenating girls day out or a luxurious spa experience? Our dear SDC team member Sethia has asked: ‘What’s the best Mother’s Day gift you would suggest?’ in our forum, and I find myself in need of your guidance as well. If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, please feel free to do so in our forum here. Together, let’s make this Mother’s Day a celebration to
remember!
