Here are a few gift ideas that will make every Hot Mama happy: 
Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Milk, $16: Oh my gosh, this is one of the best hair products for women of color… ever. I will post more about this Brooklynite’s natural hair care line, but get started with the hair milk, which can be used daily.
M by Mariah Carey Holiday Gift Set, $58: The music chart isn’t the only place MC hits high notes. The girly girl’s floral fragrances are the height of femininity. With its hints of velvety pink peony and warm-sun kissed wood, I also love her newest fragrance, Luscious Pink, $65.
Boots No. 7 mini-compact, $9.99: Boots products are always quality, and this cute mini compact is such a bargain. The six-piece set includes three lip glosses, three eyeshadows and two professional applicators.
Pier 1 Prann products: This eclectic home furnishing retailer also sells exotic bath and body products. Recently, I discovered the Prann line, which means “life force” in Sanskrit. The scents are warm and earthy — perfect for the brisk winter months. Prann Body Wash & Lotion Set, $7.38 each (originally $30); Prann Body Mud, $6 – 12.
Spa Moana’s CocoMango lotion, $14.50 – $43.95: I fell in love with CocoMango lotion after vacationing at the Hyatt Maui a couple years ago. To get a sweet reminder of the beautiful island I order this heavenly lotion online. The entire deliciously fruity product line, including body wash, shampoo and conditioner, is also available. Mahalo!
