Happy Mother’s Day Wishes

With Mother’s Day fast approaching we want to ‘Thank’ the Wonderful Women in our lives and to tell our ‘Mothers’ how much we Love and appreciate them.

Unlike previous years where everywhere we looked there were reminders of how we should treat our Mothers on this special day.

Just as in years gone by, we here at PAIRFUM started to ask ourselves and others, “What do Mother’s really want for Mother’s Day”, we mean really, really want! Is it more than just Happy Mother’s Day Wishes?

The answer was simply and universal, no matter who we asked or where they lived, … they want to ‘Meet, Hug & Kiss’ their Children.

Such simple things that we have all taken for granted, prior to the pandemic and the necessary lockdowns.

In previous years we had also posed the question “What do Mothers want for Mothers Day”? and a plethora of wonderful suggestions ranging from ‘a two week all expenses paid Holiday in Bali’, ‘a Weekend at an exclusive Spa’, to ‘a week Skiing at a top resort of their choice’, sounded idyllic, and to be honest they still do, … perhaps even more so in a time of restricted travel.

However then as now. when we started to come back down to earth and realised that most children, be they 2, 22 or 82, do not have that sort of money in their Piggy Bank.

We also came to the realisation that we never ask our Mother’s what they want. Now, … as all of us know, our Mothers are very good at telling us what they want, but it is normally for our benefit not theirs.

I am sure there are the few exceptions to the rule, but generally our Mums do not tell us what they would like as a gift on Mother’s Day.

Meet, Hug & Kiss

This year was, however, for so many Mothers worldwide, the exception:

They knew exactly what they wanted, they wanted to be able to Meet, Hug and Kiss their Children In young families or where a child still lives at home, this is not a problem, … but in so many families where the young have flown the nest, this is impossible.

To be able to meet-up or visit was the number one wish. A Happy Mother’s Day Wishes & Card are not substitute.

So on one hand, we have Mums who cannot meet with their Children, and on the other hand, with Schools closed, we have Mums that have had even less time for themselves, …

As in previous years the answers we realised do depended on the age range of the children:

Mothers of young children would dearly love ‘Time for Themselves’,
Mothers of teenagers would like a little more help at home in combination with the phrase “whatever” to have the Cambridge Dictionary meaning [‘Whatever- pronoun, determiner meaning ANYTHING or EVERYTHING], as in “Anything I can do to help you Mum”, or “I really appreciate everything you do for me Mum”.

Another recurring wish was for a long lazy ‘Morning in Bed’, a lie-in followed by a long luxurious soak in the bath and the pleasure to take as much time as you like to choose what to wear and to do your make-up, or not, as the case may be.

‘Gift Giving’ was another interesting topic of discussion which was also related to the age of the children:

Mums of younger children would love to receive something made for them,
Mums of teenage children would really appreciate something done for them: Breakfast in Bed (after a long lie in and which would include leaving the kitchen in perfect condition afterwards, even if it was not that way beforehand), …

Survey of Mums for Mother’s Day

A poll by Mumsnet revealed that 85% of mums would actually like more than an hour of ‘me-time’ on the day. The same reply we got from Mothers of young and not so young Children.

Sadly, when they inquired how Mother’s Day was last year for their Mothers, their survey found that most mums didn’t get their wish, as three quarters didn’t even get a full hour of time to themselves.

Just like the answers we received in our much smaller poll, ‘lie-ins’ were also top of the Mother’s Day wish-list with 92% hoping they would get some extra ‘shut-eye’. However, the response from the Mothers polled said that they were left disappointed about that too, as over half (58%) of mums were up before 8am.

They also discovered that ‘breakfast in bed’ was not a given, as 53% of mums said they had to make it for themselves last year, despite hoping or hinting that their partner or children would do it for them.

If you think that this was bad, it gets much worse, as not all Mums got the day off from their normal domestic chores.

When questioned which household tasks they had carried out on Mother’s Day last year, 62% said they had done some cooking, 58% did the washing, almost half (49%) did cleaning and 11% took the bins out (the ‘bins out’, this should really be the last straw).

As with our questionnaire, when it came to ‘Gift Giving’, something homemade or personal tops the wish-list, with 37% of mums saying they would love something made by their children and almost a fifth (18%) saying they would like something personalised, like a mug or keyring with their kids’ photo or footprint.

Unlike our small survey, where no-one admitted to this fact, Mumsnet revealed that despite it being their day, only two thirds of mums actually admitted to enjoying Mother’s Day. Maybe our Mums just did not have the heart to say so.

We fully agree with the findings of Mumsnet CEO Justine Roberts: “There is quite a lot of pressure on mothers to be selfless, and it can be difficult for them to ask for what they want, especially if it’s for their early-rising children to go away and take their burnt toast with them.”

This is especially true, when you see, how well meaning it was, how long it was in the planning and how excited they were to bring it in and present it to you. So,… maybe in the future, when you look back at all those Mother’s Day Mornings, you will not remember the tiredness you felt, or the tray with half of the Tea or Coffee floating in it, but remember the look of concentration on the face that has just managed to open the door, with or without help, and the inevitable question of “Do you like it”? What Mother could not say truthfully “This is the best half filled, luck warm cup of dishwater I have had since last year!”

Now,… there may be exceptions to the rule, as I mentioned earlier, but as all wonderful Mothers know the truth is sometimes best kept to ourselves or stored away for another time.

Having said that, we do not mean it as a ‘Get out of Jail card’ for Fathers, Partners or Children to not show this wonderful person in your life how much they mean to you.

We do think that from the responses that we got, that on this day at least, you not only do something special for your Mum, but you also don’t expect her to do the usual things she normally does for you every day.

So,… if your Mother wants some free time to herself, then this is the ‘Time’ to start planning how to give her just that little bit extra on top of all the Happy Mother’s Day wishes, cards and cups of tea.

It really is amazing how we value the simple things in life when they are in short supply.

The one recurring theme is, that Mothers all over the world never seem to have enough time, and least of all ‘Free Time to Themselves’.

So go on,… and on this Mother’s Day, ask your Mum: “What do you want, really, really want?” The answer may surprise you.

With this in mind, we would like you to tell us what the answer was that you received in your Mum’s reply and how you went about fulfilling your Mother her wish.

Happy Mother’s Day Poems

For All Those Times!

For all those times when you picked me up.
When you sent me off and you wished me Luck.
You tied my laces and wiped my nose.
Made my lunch and corrected my prose.

Dropped me off at school and on final bell call.
You were standing waiting by the school yard wall.
For the times I got it wrong, but was sure I was right.
When I was very ill and you sat up all night.

For the times we fought and I was leaving home.
I knew you would be Sorry, as you would be all alone.
You asked “Where I was going”, I said “I did not know”.
So you suggested delaying my departure, until I was 10 or so.

When I first went away all on my own,
but it was all OK, knowing you were waiting at home.
When I had my first crush, and grew taller than you.
You were stern, forgiving, loyal and true.

For the times you needed something, but put me first instead.
To the day I realised I would never have a better friend.
For all those times and many many more..
I want to say “Thank You, I love You, Amore”.

Pairfum London Happy Mother's Day Wishes Rose Flower Deep Red

A Mother’s Love

A Mother’s love is something
that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
and of sacrifice and pain.

It is endless and unselfish
and enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
or take that love away.

It is patient and forgiving
when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking.

It believes beyond believing
when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
of the rarest, brightest gems.

It is far beyond defining,
it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
like the mysteries of creation.

A many splendored miracle
man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.

(by Helen Steiner Rice)

Pairfum London Happy Mothers Day Wishes Poem Rose Flower Multi Colour

To My Mother

Because I feel that, in the Heavens above,

The angels, whispering to one another,

Can find, among their burning terms of love,

None so devotional as that of “Mother,”

Therefore by that dear name I long have called you —

You who are more than mother unto me,

And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you

In setting my Virginia’s spirit free.

My mother — my own mother, who died early,

Was but the mother of myself; but you

Are mother to the one I loved so dearly,

And thus are dearer than the mother I knew

By that infinity with which my wife

Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life.

(by Edgar Allan Poe)

Mother O’ Mine

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!

Trend: Skinification of Perfume, Hair, Nail, Hand Care and Make-up.

23/02/202414/04/2023 by Pairfum

Introduction

Skinification is a trend that has emerged in recent years in the beauty and wellness industry. It is based on the idea that the same principles and ingredients that are effective for skin care should be applied to other areas of the body, including hair, nails, make-up, hands and overall well-being.

In this article, we will discuss what skinification is, how it differs from traditional beauty routines, and the products and routines that are used for different areas of the body.

What is Skinification?

Skinification is a concept that has two facettes or meanings:

It refers to the hybrid application of skin & face care ingredients, techniques and beauty routines to other areas of the body and products, such as hair, scalp, make-up, nails, hands, body and perfume. Essentially, it is increasing the skin care properties of these products.
A further idea behind it is that the skin is a reflection of our internal health and well-being, and that by taking care of our overall health, we can improve the appearance and health of our skin, hair, nails, hands and body. This is about a holistic approach to skin care and overall well-being: beauty from the inside out.

While the pandemic emphasized the importance of cleansing, consumers are now looking beyond hygiene when it comes to their personal care needs.

The first facette of this trend is becoming increasingly popular among consumers who seek personal care ingredients that are trending and trusted in skin care applications, such as vitamins, to deliver the same benefits in their hair or nail care products. It can involve incorporating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and retinol into hair and nail care products, as well as focusing on a healthy diet, exercise, and stress management to promote healthy skin from the inside out.

The 2nd concept of skinification has gained popularity as people have become more interested in holistic approaches to health and beauty. It recognizes that the skin is a reflection of our internal health and that taking care of our overall well-being can improve the appearance and health of our skin.

Unlike traditional beauty routines that focus solely on the external appearance of the skin, skinification focuses on promoting health and wellness from within. This approach involves using natural and high-quality ingredients, focusing on a healthy diet and lifestyle, and adopting a holistic approach to beauty and wellness.

Pairfum London Trend Skinification Hair Scalp 1 1

Hair Care & Scalp Products

This is first area where the skinification trend emerged and caring for your scalp and hair follicle exemplify the trend.

Skinification has had a significant impact on the hair and scalp care industry, with consumers increasingly seeking out products that not only clean and style their hair but also nourish and protect their scalp. Hair and scalp care products that are designed with skinification in mind typically use high-quality natural ingredients that are gentle on the hair and scalp and provide nourishing and hydrating benefits.

Hair oils have become an essential part of the skinification of hair care routines. Oils such as argan oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil can be used to nourish and hydrate the hair and scalp, promoting healthy hair growth and preventing breakage. Hair oils can be applied directly to the scalp and hair, left on for a few hours or overnight, and then washed out with a gentle shampoo.

Skin care benefits in shampoos is already well established but now natural and/or caring ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile extract, and tea tree oil are being included to help soothe, nourish and hydrate the scalp.

Conditioners and shampoos that are designed with skinification in mind may contain nourishing ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, honey and plant-based oils such as argan, avocado and jojoba. These ingredients can help hydrate and soften the hair, making it easier to style and reducing the risk of breakage.

When it comes to hair colourants, skinification principles involve using products that are free from harsh chemicals like ammonia and contain natural and skin caring ingredients, similar to the ones mentioned earlier. These products can provide color without damaging the hair or scalp. Additionally, hair colorants that contain nourishing ingredients like keratin and biotin can help strengthen the hair and prevent breakage.

The routines used for skinification hair care typically involve a combination of cleansing, conditioning, and nourishing the hair and which now also include the scalp. This may involve starting with a nourishing shampoo to cleanse the hair, following this up with a hydrating conditioner that contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or argan oil and finalising the routine with a caring oil for both hair, its follicle and scap. In addition, hair masks and serums, containing ingredients like vitamin E and fatty acids, may be used to help promote healthy hair growth and prevent breakage.

Overall, skinification has led to a shift in the hair and scalp care industry towards more natural, nourishing, and gentle products and routines. By adopting skinification principles in hair & scalp care, consumers can achieve healthy, shiny, and beautiful hair while also taking care of their scalp.

Pairfum London Trend Skinification Makeup 1 1

Skinification in Makeup?

This is the 2nd dominant area of Skinification, as it has also influenced the makeup industry, with a growing number of consumers seeking out makeup products that not only enhance their appearance but also provide nourishment and protection for their skin. Makeup products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and SPF are becoming increasingly popular.

To incorporate skinification principles into your makeup routine, opt for products that contain nourishing ingredients and provide protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Additionally, consider adopting a “less is more” approach to makeup, e.g. single layer makeup, and focusing on enhancing your natural features rather than completely covering them up.

Pairfum London Trend Skinification Nails 1 1

Nail Care

Skinification has also influenced the nail care industry, with a growing number of consumers seeking out products that not only enhance the appearance of their nails but also provide nourishment and protection. Traditional nail care products can often be harsh and damaging to the nails, leading to brittleness and breakage. Skinification nail care products, on the other hand, typically use high-quality natural ingredients that are gentle on the nails and provide nourishment and hydration.

Skinification nail care routines may involve using a gentle nail polish remover that does not contain harsh chemicals like acetone. The nails may then be filed and buffed to smooth out any rough edges. A nourishing base coat and topcoat can be applied to protect the nails and promote healthy growth. In addition, using a cuticle oil regularly can help keep the cuticles soft and hydrated.

When it comes to nail polish, skinification principles involve using polishes that are free from harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and toluene. Additionally, nail polishes that contain nourishing ingredients like biotin and keratin can help strengthen the nails and prevent breakage.

Overall, skinification has led to a shift in the nail care industry towards more natural, nourishing, and gentle products and routines. By adopting skinification principles in nail care, consumers can achieve healthy, strong, and beautiful nails.

Body & Hand Care

Skinification also extends to body and hand care routines and products. Just like with skincare, skinification of body and hand care products typically use high-quality natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin and provide nourishment and hydration. Ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera are commonly used in skinification body and hand care products.

Routines for body and hand care may include exfoliating to remove dead skin cells, followed by hydrating the skin with a nourishing body lotion or oil. Additionally, using a hand cream regularly can help keep the hands soft and supple.

Pairfum London Trend Skinification Perfume Sea Salt Sage Amber 1 1

Perfume & Skinification?

So, … how will Skinification impact on the perfumes that we wear daily?

We expect that Skinification will impact on the world of perfumery, particularly in the development of fragrances that not only smell beautiful but also provide skincare benefits.

Skinification of perfumery products is only just emerging but perhaps differently to what you would expect. Some might say, it has always been present. For example, an ‘aftershave’ is already such a product, as it combines fragrancing with skin soothing in one product.

Traditionally, perfumes were solely focused on the scent, with little consideration given to the impact they may have on the skin and/or health and wellbeing of a person. However, skinification has led to a new generation of fragrances that contain ingredients that are not only safe for the skin and / or also provide nourishment and hydration. One such example are Natural Eau de Parfums or Eau de Toilettes.

Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne are different concentrations of fragrances, with Eau de Parfum being the strongest and most long-lasting and Eau de Cologne being the lightest and most refreshing. Skinification principles can be applied to all types of fragrances, with a focus on using high-quality natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin and provide nourishing benefits.

Fragrances that are designed with skin care benefits in mind may contain ingredients such as vitamin E, aloe vera, and chamomile extract, which can help soothe and hydrate the skin. Additionally, fragrances that contain antioxidants, like green tea extract, can help protect the skin from environmental damage.

Another expression are fragrances that are free from harsh chemicals and contain natural, nourishing ingredients. A further example are Natural Niche Perfumes that work in harmony with the microflora of your skin to change their olfactive profile and become totally unique to you, such as the ones offered by us, Pairfum London.

Equally, we would expect Body Care products to emerge that are more akin to an Eau de Toilette, e.g. with higher perfume concentrations, sprayable, … Along similar lines, new types of oil based perfume and alcohol free perfume can be expected to be introduced.

Overall, skinification is leading to a shift in the perfumery industry towards more natural, nourishing and gentle fragrances that not only smell fantastic but also provide skincare benefits. By choosing fragrances that are designed with skinification in mind, consumers can enjoy a beautiful scent while also taking care of their skin.

In other words, these will be products which fragrance and care for your skin at the same time, perhaps using some of the best actives we know from facial skin care.

Pairfum London Trend Skinification Fragrance Perfume 1 1

Conclusion

In conclusion, skinification is a growing trend that focuses on using skin care principles, routines and ingredients to enhance the health and appearance of hair, nails, and the body.

By adopting a holistic approach to beauty and wellness, consumers can achieve healthy, radiant skin, nails and hair from the inside out.

Whether it’s through hair care, makeup, or body and hand care routines, incorporating skinification principles can help promote overall health and well-being.

Pairfum London Happy Chinese New Year Mandarin Orange Fragrance

Mandarine Oranges and the Scent of the Chinese New Year

19/09/202324/01/2023 by Pairfum

Pairfum Person Reflection Mandarin Blossom Sandalwood Eau De Parfum

The ‘Mandarine Orange’ is a sweet, juicy citrus fruit also named ‘Mandarin’ or ‘Mandarine’. Read about why they are the scent of the Chinese New Year.

The role of Mandarine Oranges in the Chinese New Year !

The mandarine orange is a native of China and an important symbol of Chinese traditionanl culture, a symbol of ‘good fortune’, with a significant sacral meaning during the Chinese New Year festivities.

Mandarines are symbols of the New Year and the expected positive changes. The shape and colour of mandarines symbolise the Sun and connects with the yang principle (the positive and generative force of nature). A symbol of good fortune, luck and success, mandarines are exchanged between families, friends and colleagues as offerings of goodwill during this time of festivities.

These richly coloured fruits (orange / red / gold) are placed on the family alter in a large pile during the Chinese New Year celebrations and are synoymous with prosperity and wealth. For the same reason, potted plants, rich with hanging mandarine oranges are a favourite indoor decoration during this festive season.

In Cantonese, mandarine are named “gut”, meaning “the lucky tree.” It is an ancient New Year tradition of the Chinese to place pairs of mandarines and red envelopes with money, beside the pillow of every child, in the box with the New Year treats and above the rice container of the home. It is believed this will bring good fortune to the house and its family.

The Chap Goh Meh Festival, the 15th day of the lunar New Year, marks the end of the Chinese New Year festivities and serves traditionally as a day for matchmaking. Young girls throw mandarine oranges into the rivers in the hope of gaining a husband by honouring the full moon. Likewise, young men line the streets straining to gain a glimpse of these young ladies who were normally not permitted outside in days gone bye.

Pairfum London Happy Scent Chinese New Year Mandarin Orange

Other uses of Mandarine Oranges in China

The essential ingredient in many Chinese sauces is the dried peel of the mandarine orange due to its wonderful citrus oils and other aromatic notes that will richly perfume any dish and remove any oily taste.

On the other hand, in traditional Chinese medicine, the dried peel is used to regulate the flow of the energy of life ( or chi ). Natural philosophers in Old China prescribed the peel as a medical remedy to reduce phlegm, treat abdominal problems and to stimulate healthy digestion.

Pairfum London Happy Fragrance Chinese New Year Mandarine Orange

Mandarine Orange in Perfumery

Peel away the rind of a mandarine orange and out bursts a tempting mix of citrus oils with hints of cloves, ginger, jasmine and orange blossom. There are also undertones of star anise and saffron.

In perfumery, mandarine essential oil is greatly valued in the top notes of many light floral accords and colognes, for its invigorating, juicy sweet and fruity note but also its sensual, floral, neroli-like trail. The essential oil also blends harmoniously with other citrus oils and with many spice oils (nutmeg, cinnamon, clove).

Here at PAIRFUM, we are proud to introduce our new ‘pink grapefruit’ fragrance which contains mandarine essential oil. The addition of mandarin orange oil to the grapefruit accord makes this a truely great fragrance. It is indeed the perfect fragrance for the Chinese New Year.

‘Pink Grapefruit’ is available in the following luxury scented candles and reed diffusers:

Reed Diffusers (petite, classic and large size and in the bell, cube and tower shapes)
Reed Diffuser refill oil
Snow Crystal Candles (classic and large)
Soy & Flower Wax Candle

Are You Craving a Good Night’s Sleep? 14 x Tips!

23/02/202429/11/2022 by Pairfum

Scientific Research shows that nearly 60% of us are struggling to sleep well and yet we all value a Good Night’s Sleep.

Sleep is as important for your body as a healthy diet or regular exercise and poor sleep has been linked to weight gain and heart disease amongst other long term health conditions.

The effects of ‘lack of sleep’ are immediate, both physically and mentally, and it can become hard to concentrate. Over time this can lead to further worries about the lack of sleep, with ever decreasing circles that can end in anxiety or even depression.

It is important to take steps to improve the quality of your sleep as soon as possible. Start and create a routine and have a `bedtime’, a regular time you go to bed.

Woman Sleeping Hiding Under The Covers Good Night's Sleep

Dr. Fariha Abbasi-Feinberg, a director at the AASM, recommends adopting healthy sleep routine and suggests the following 14 x tips to address short-term insomnia:

Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Get up at the same time every day, even on weekends or during vacations.
Set a bedtime that is early enough for you to get at least 7 hours of sleep.
Don’t go to bed unless you are sleepy.
If you don’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed.
Establish a relaxing bedtime routine.
Use your bed only for sleep and sex.
Make your bedroom quiet and relaxing. Keep the room at a comfortable, cool temperature.
Limit exposure to bright light in the evenings.

The Origins of St. Patrick’s Day

A post about St. Patrick’s Day is not complete without its history.

St. Patrick’s Day celebrated on March 17th, and is a day for remembering Saint Patrick and his contribution to Ireland.

The origins of St. Patrick’s Day can be traced back to the fifth century when Saint Patrick was sent by Pope Celestine I to convert Ireland to Christianity.

Saint Patrick lived in Ireland for most of the remainder of his life, during which time he established churches and ordained priests, converted wealthy landowners, distributed food, taught people how to read and write, and did many other things that helped the Irish people become Christians.

With this in mind, the Irish donate to Charity on St. Patrick’s Day, as a way of saying ‘thank you’.

What about the Shamrock?

A shamrock with four leaves is traditionally used to represent the Christian symbol of the Holy Trinity because it looks like three leaves and one stem.

In addition, the three leaves and one stem look like a person’s hand, which is an ancient symbol of prayer because it represents the hand of God blessing people.

A Traditional Irish Blessing

We would like to close this post with a most traditional Irish blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face;

The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Happy St Patrick’s Day
