My love for the Four Seasons Hotels has been well documented over the years. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting their properties all over the world including Istanbul, Beverly Hills, Boston, Santa Barbara and now Chicago! While in the Windy City last week I was lucky enough to visit their beautiful spa and get a bamboo massage by Thea (she has MAGIC hands!) Warm bamboo sticks were used all over my body to relieve muscle tension, tightness and improve circulation. I was on cloud nine during the treatment. #HappyMama After my pamper sesh, my fam and I dined at Allium where we had a decadent brunch filled with things like sticky bread and a wheel of salad. Yes, yes and more yes. Don’t even get me started on the dessert bar. It was overflowing with the cutest bite size treats. I may have gotten carried away. Oopsies. Ok, you get the idea, Four Seasons is super lux and the service is five star every time. Can I make a suggestion? Get your mama (or tell someone to get you) a gift card to a Four Seasons near you for an extraordinary experience of a lifetime. With the Four Seasons Gift Card, you choose the amount and they choose the gift: overnight stays, dining experiences, luxury spa treatments and more at Four Seasons hotels and resorts around the world. Want some good news!?! This Mother’s Day I have a treat for you. YOU have the chance to win a $250 gift card to ANY FOUR SEASONS in the world. There are 94 locations in 39 different countries. Woohoo! Here’s how you enter: simply tell me why your mom or you is so awesome! It can be as easy as my mom gives the best hugs or my kids go crazy for my lasagna. I want to hear about some awesome MOMS. I’ll probably cry while reading the comments- but bring it! I will randomly select a winner and the Four Seasons will mail you a gift card. If you don’t win, you can still purchase one by clicking here. Good Luck!
Gotta Go!
* Winner will be announced April 28th
My mother is the most selfless most amazing woman I know! She has taught me the most important things in life. Love, compassion, kindness, humility, and generosity! I hope to one day be just a little bit more like her. I am beyond blessed to have her in my life and as a mother myself I only hope to make a positive impact in my daughter’s life the way my momma has done for me!!! Happy Mother’s Day to all u amazing mommas out there!!
My mom is awesome because she is my best friend. My mom had me at sixteen and told me she never once regretted having me that I was a blessing . My mom always puts my two brothers,my sister,and me before herself. She is a selfless woman even though she suffers from a broke back and was told there is no surgery to correct the other two that made it worst. You could never tell by her personality she is in pain because my mom can have a conversation with anyone.My mom’s childhood wasn’t the best and she made her goal to make sure none of the bad things that happened to her would never happen to us. I love her to pieces and would love for her to have a awesome Mother’s Day gift to treat her like the queen she is to me.
My mom is almost as awesome as you, Sharzad! I could never imagine my life without her! She inspires me everyday and one day I hope to be just like her. She gives my so many things in life that I’m so blessed to have. My mom works 6 days a week just so she can feed my siblings and I. She is truly my hero and I love her to death. In fact, I’m going to give her a hug right now! Happy Mothers Day to all the amazing Mommys out there!
Soo I wasn’t gonna do this but my step mom so deserves this. It’s been quite a year for her back in July(right around my birthday actually) she was having some chest pains my dad told her to go lay down. When he went in to check on her she was in cardiac arrest. Basically long story short after a few days of not knowing if she was going to make it we got the good news. It was nothing short of a miracle. As tired and weak as she was afterwards she still found the strength to take care of my little sister. She is a wonderful mother and takes care of all of us. She was in the hospital for her birthday( which was in the beginning of August). She deserves some pampering :)!
To me, my mom is the best because, no matter what, she always takes care of me and my brother. I live 3000 km away from her and I love how, everytime we talk on the phone, she asks me if I’ve already eaten, tells me to “take care” when we hang up and always lets me know that she loves me. She sends me a big box full of random things from my country; beauty products, food and sometimes even socks. It’s amazing how she can love me so much after all I have put her through when I was a teenager. She’s such a strong woman, she has always been so close to my dad, but also independent, she never seems to be afraid or nervous in any situation. I love her because what she does for me is something I have never seen in other people’s parents. I admire her for being able to take care of my dad now that he is sick and can’t do things on his own. She is with him 24/7 and, although she gets mad and frustrated at times, she always ends up telling him that she loves him and that he is the love of her life. Mom, I hope that someday I can buy you a big house with a yard and no stairs and that you can relax and not work anynore, ever… I miss you.
I’m just going to say that my mom left all her luxurious life full time maid a driver her beloved country pakistan and travelled across seven seas to move here to be with me when I was pregnant and she’s an awsome grandma
She does everything for her kids from opening her eyes in the morning till as long as she could stay up late .. I JUST LOVE MY MOM
My mom is such a sweet person. Both her parents passed away when she was little and she was always moved from an aunt, cousin etc. she went threw so much but somehow she still managed to be so strong and such an amazing example to my sisters and I.
My girls both love spending time with her. And I do too!
My mom is the best because even when I mess up and it tends to happen she tells me the world is my canvas and sometimes that perfect painting you want has some flaws that the world recognizes as beautiful!! On my worst days where I am balling my eyes out she can’t help but cry with me and tell me how much she’s loves me. To the world she may seem as simple as a pearl but in my eyes she is a diamond with dimensions so deep I can’t help but love her sooo much
One of the many reasons and traits I think my mom is the best mom in the world is because she makes feeding me (and my family) an obligation, not just some effortless chore. When I wake up for breakfast in the morning, I can expect a nice home cooked meal prepared by my mom. I tell her what time I have to leave the house by, and she will, by choice, prepare something for me to eat before my call time in the morning. Often at times, she wakes up at ungodly hours in the morning just to prepare something for us to eat, even though she knows she does not have to and we are old enough to make something ourselves. I really do appreciate all her efforts in preparing something so thoughtful for us. I don’t tell her enough, but I love my mom.
When I was little my mom would always tell me “do not trust your so called “friends” too much because your only true best friends are us your parents”. As I grew up I could not belive how right she was. Some of my “friends ” decided to go down wrong paths, others back stabbed me and constantly got me in trouble but the one what always stayed by my side and healed all my wounds was my mother! I love her so much I know I can count on her for everything
Well, i dont have kids but i do have my mum:) i could tell you that she is amazing and its true, but the fact is that we havent been getting on that well when i was a teenager and i left home pretty early. For a long time i was busy with my life, love, career, chasing my dreams and not realising that im driving myself away from my family, being so selfishly focused on myself. Because i left home so early and never bothered to repair the relations with my mum i acted like a teenager and treated her like my enemy. Until one very bad breakup when i found myself lonely and depressed. And guess what? She was always there for me. She is so strong and smart! She helped me believe in myself and enjoy life! Im working hard to rebuild the relationship with my mum. I know that one day it may be too late and i will regret being such an ignorant daughter. We have planned holiday in Paris this summer and its the first time we will ge somewhere together! Im very excited to show her Paris:)
Bisous Sharzad!
WOW where do I even start with my mom? She started out young with me, which is probably why we’re such good friends now. Even when she works 12-hour days (which she still does 4 days a week!), she still manages to be there for me basically whenever I need her. I’ll even pop into her office sometimes with a “tragedy and she always makes time to step away and help me out. Not only that, but she always has something for dinner on the table, whether it be a full-homecooked meal or just leftovers. She’s also helped me in different ways, such as showing me how to lead a well-balanced life between school, work, and friends. Also, I’ve never seen her judge anyone by how they look or where they come from, and she’s always given me a perspective on the world that helps me understand others better. Even with her feisty attitude, she would drop anything at a moment’s notice for a friend or family member in need. Time and time again I have admired this quality and I can’t wait to put it into practice when the moment comes. Seriously, I can’t imagine my life without this particular woman.
My mom is just simply the most selfless person I know. She will sacrifice things that make her happy to make her kids happy. If I won this gift card I will be giving it to my mommy 🙂 she deserves to pamper herself for once. She is staying with me soon as I am 36 weeks pregnant and I need my mommy to survive the first week of motherhood!! If I am half as great of a mom she is, I know I will be fine 🙂
Through the many hardships endured, she still and will always remain Mom to me.
My mom the best!!!! I love her so much because she provides for me and we always hug each other!! She always cooks for me and is always by my side whenever I need her! She takes me out and we always have the best times together, always making memories. I would love to create more memories at Four Season Hotel if I won!! She loves food, so I would love to surprise her with a gift card for lunch or dinner on her special day! We would have the best time ever! My mom is so amazing because she always provides for her loved ones.
My mom is the strongest person I know. She has overcome adversities from immigrating to a new country to helping my bipolar father cope with his condition while raising 4 children. I’m grateful to have her as mother. I love with all my heart.. She’s truly an inspiration.
My mom is the worlds greatest simply because she is a survivor. She has overcome so much these past two years. She lost her husband and best friend while undergoing a heart transplant. She has remained incredibly strong and courageous these past two years and I am so proud of her. She has 4 grandchildren whom she is an incredible grandma to. She is working so hard (works full time) to pay off all the medical bills and debt she now has due to her husbands death. I would absolutely love to gift her this gift card to take a break and indulge and pamper herself. She totally needs it! She has done so many things for others it’s about time she gets a break. I love her to the moon! XO
