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
Hey Sharzy!
This is awesome! Fingers crossed I win ; ) So, my mom is my rock. She has been there for me my whole life and has been my biggest support. No matter what I’ve ever wanted to do, she has supported me. She also really does make the best lasagna!
I would love for my mom to win. She hasnt gone on a vacation in over ten years. She is a hard worker and truly deserves it
This is such a fabulous idea! My mom is awesome. Even though we don’t always get along and are completely different people, she took me in when I was struggling with mental illness and sort of floundering in life, and helped me to find a new direction in life and a career that would make me happier. I would love if I could give her something like this <3 Happy almost Mother's day Sharzad!
Hi beautiful! I love this. First off, thanks so much for doing this giveaway you are so sweet.
I would love for my wonderful mom to win. Words can’t describe how amazing she is on the inside and out. She truly deserves to be pampered on this special day.
My mom is a superwoman. She’s a true Renaissance woman–a basket-weaving, quilt-making, homemade bread and ice cream (no machines) -making, six-pack-flaunting, full-time lawyer. She’s the best role model I could’ve ever asked for, a strong, smart, hardworking, healthy, compassionate, kind, selfless, nurturing and inspiring. I’m still awed by her every day. She’s the best mom ever, truly.
My mom is and always will be the best simply because she is always there. Not with money or gifts but with an ear, her heart and a hug. HappyMother’s Day to all the Moms out there!!
I feel blessed and I know I’m blessed to have my mother be my mother. Her entire life is one huge sacrifice to give me a better life with all the opportunities she never had. Shes the smartest human I’ve ever encountered and it breaks me heart that her potential was never met, she was never challenged, and now that I’m not a kid anymore I can look back and see exactly all the little things she did that she will never know that I’ve noticed. Thank you for supporting me, financing me, guiding me, and most of all believing that I am special enough to change the world. I feel blessed and I know I’m blessed.
Thanks Sharzad for giving us all the chance to give the most important women in our lifes a shout out!!
My mom is the best! She is my mama bear and I know she would do anything for me. I’ve been to hell and back and she’s been there for me through it all. I always know I can rely on her. She’s my rock and I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s so amazing and deserves to be pampered so it would be awesome to give her this gift for mother’s day because unfortunately I’m a broke college student and can’t afford to give her anything near this nice.
Hello!!!
So cool to see that you were in Chicago. That is where I live!
My mom is the best mom because she has always done so much for me. She will drop everything to make sure that I have what I need. Also, she still gives me the best back rubs (yes, I am 23).
My mom is awesome because she does her mama thang all on her own. Not only was she always there for me at every cheerleading completion, soccer game, choir concert and more, but despite working 6 days a week she was always home to make a homemade dinner every night for the 2 of us. She’s been taking care of my 9 year old sister (and let’s be honest even my 22 year old self from time to time) all by herself for 8 years now. She deserves the world, and I hope to give her at least a little part of it on day.
I have the most amazing mom in the world! I know most everyone says that, but I really do believe whole heartedly that I do. My mom just recently (as in a week ago) opened up her home to my entire family; a husband, two kiddos (ages 4 and 2), and a hyper active beagle. When we had nowhere else to go, she offered us shelter. She will never know how very appreciative we are of that. She is always going above and beyond for her children/grandchildren and it’s about time that she is treated with a getaway herself. My mom is my best friend and I love seeing her happy. I hope I can win this gift card for her 🙂
My mom is honestly the best mother in the world. My father abandoned us and she raised all 3 of us of her own. When I was 14 we found out she had thyroid cancer. She had been hiding it from us because she didnt want to burden us with it. Immediately we joined her in her battle and started to care for her. Amazing doesnt even describe her. She was working 3 jobs to support us while she was fighting cancer. 2 years later she was diagnosed with cancer again and had to have her thyroid removed. Ever since she has been thru alot, since removing her thyroid her body has been affected. She suffers from allergy to the cold weather, she developed allergies to most fruits. It has been a couple of though years but she remains humble and always puts everyone before herself. This will be a nice treat for her. 🙂
I could go on for ages about why my mom is amazing. She has been a single mom for the last 5 years and has remained a friend as well as an amazing influence for me. I can’t remember the last time my mom took a vacation for herself and not for us. My mom is currently working a full time job as well as being a mom to two teenage girls. My mom is my world.
Mom does it all. There are 7 kids in my family and while I was growing up, Dad travelled for his job. He was only home 2 weekends of the month. While Dad was away, Mom did everything. When I was a freshman in high school (9 years ago), Dad had a massive heart attack while he was consulting in Delaware, which left him permanently disabled and his brain capacity is not what it used to be. This left my mom to take care of everything, both for work and for home. She works 14 hour days teaching piano lessons to support the family. On top of that, she cooks, cleans, preps Dad’s meds, babysits grandkids, you name it. She does this all without complaining and with a happy heart. She is such a giving person and asks nothing in return. Since Dad was always travelling, Mom never got a chance to get a vacation. Not once in their marriage of 30 years were they able to go away alone together. Maybe this year, I can give her what she’s always dreamed of. Thank you for the opportunity to show my Mom that she is loved beyond any combination of words that I could form.
My mom is my favourite person because she always knows when I want to talk about something and is willing to actually LISTEN to me (no matter how awkward the topic). She spent 30 years raising me and my 3 siblings and just started to go back to school. She deserves a break from us (we are still a handful even though we’re all in our 20’s now!) and she never does anything for herself – she really is THAT mom, and I love her so much.
For the longest time I took my mothers love for granted. I never really understood how lucky I was to have her as my mom. Her selflessness and genuine nurturing soul is something very rare to come across in today’s world, and this is why any person who meets her will naturally feel comfortable next to her. Her ability to stay strong in tough life situations both in war torn countries and living in poverty has taught me many lessons about staying humble and giving charity even when I have nothing. It has taught me how to be thankful for the woman I have to call as my mother while also understanding that her actions as a mother deserve to be recognized even when she believes she has done nothing special. Not only this, but there have been numerous, numerous occasions where she has put herself at risk just to make sure that not only myself as her daughter – but even strangers – were not harmed or left ignored. With that said, I am forever and always in gratitude for the privilege to know that whenever I utter the word “mama” that she will always show up in a instant no matter what the circumstances are. I love you mama may!!! <3
P.s. She also makes the best stuffed grape leaves that I have ever tasted in my life.
I could go on forever about how amazing my mom is. I am so grateful for her, she had me at 20 and she raised me all on her own. She has worked so hard to provide for me. She has been so supportive of me and I am so thankful that she has allowed me to stay with her, while I still figure out my career path. (I’m 23 btw). It would just mean the world to me to be able to give back to her, for all of the things she has done for me.
Hi Sharzad! Love your posts and videos! 🙂 My mom is awesome because she’s a BOSS. She came to the US from Poland 24 years ago and has worked hard everyday of her life to support our family! She has no education and her English isn’t the best, yet she’s made a beautiful life for us. She’s my motivation and inspiration on a daily basis. I just picked up my B.S. Diploma from college today (graduated in December/January) and I am proud to say my mom paid for my college education. She has supported me in everything I’ve accomplished and has made me see the positive in all that I’ve failed in. My mom works very hard every day to provide all she can for our family, and I would love her to spend a day at the Four Seasons. She’s never been pampered and I think she deserves it so much, especially on Mother’s Day! My mom is my best friend and I love her so much! 🙂 ❤️ Thank you and have a great day! Say hi to baby Idris 🙂 ❤️❤️
Thank you for this amazing opportunity! 🙂
In honor of Mother’s Day I would like to tell you why my mother is awesome. She has for children two boys and two girls me being the youngest. She has dedicated her entire life to caring for us leaving aside any opportunity for a career of her own. I took that for granted all my life until I became a mom this past year and I had to go back to work and my mom has taken the huge responsibility of taking care of my princess while I oh work 40 + hours a week without asking for anything in return. My daughter absolutely loves her and gets excited every morning we knock on her door.
I love her more than words can describe and if I would win this gift it would go straight to her for all she does ! 🙂
This giveaway is amazing. I can;t even begin to tell you how much my Mom does for my Family and how hard she works! She’s always non-stop cleaning, working, cooking, and she seriously deserve a GOOD break from it all! She does everything she can for our family and is SO loving!! I’d feel so happy for her if I was able to give her this amazing gift to the Four Seasons Hotel to give her what she really deserves 🙂 And Happy Mother’s Day to YOU too Sharzad!!
