Flowers and Mother’s Day go hand-in-hand, not to mention, it doesn’t get more locally sourced or delivered than this.<\/p>\n

Organically grown at Farm Lot 59 by farmer Sasha Kanno, you can have these Long Beach flowers delivered straight to mom’s door by a Maritime Bicycle Courier, another Long Beach homegrown business. Offerings include one full bouquet for $20, plus a small delivery fee.<\/p>\n

Make sure if you’re wanting these delivered on Sunday to leave a note in the delivery instructions when ordering. Visit martimecourier.com<\/a> to order.<\/p>\n

HOMEMADE BATH BOMBS<\/h3>\n

https:\/\/abeautifulmess.com\/2015\/03\/homemade-bath-bombs.html?jwsource=cl<\/p>\n

Since scented hand-sanitizer wasn’t enough to keep Bath and Body Works open, and Amazon shipping estimates are backed-up farther than what Friday traffic on the 405 used to be, this may just be the perfect time to make a gift for your matriarch this Mother’s Day. And, given all that extra time you suddenly have on your hands, why not soak it up with a bit of bubble-shaped alchemy: homemade bath bombs.<\/p>\n

They’re actually quite simple to make. You need about eight ingredients, all of which you can, hopefully, still find in a grocery store. No baking or gluing necessary, and while you’re crafting, your house is going to smell like the apothecary section at Whole Foods.<\/p>\n

What’s more, this gift fits right into the whole “self-care” phenomenon, a lifestyle that encourages people to spend a little more time doing things that de-stress and improve their overall happiness. Something we could all benefit from these days.<\/p>\n

It’s also something your mom has likely been doing for decades; ever wondered why she spent inordinate amounts of time in the bath when you were growing up? Yes, she was hiding from you. You, specifically.<\/p>\n

But also, self-care.<\/p>\n

We’ve linked a tutorial<\/a> that includes a video you can check out in detail, but for those interested in the short version, here’s the gist:<\/p>\n
