Mother’s Day 2012 is going to be a big thing in Hollywood because we have so many celebrity moms here. So, while we wish you all a very Happy Mother’s Day, let’s have a look at these stars, who unlike the usual moms, do not have to drive minivans and wear ugly jeans. These mamas have been up on the sexy/beautiful/hot lists for years. I think that these moms will inspire you to try and take motherhood with style and also tell you that becoming a mother only adds to your glamour and beauty.
The top name in this list is Angelina Jolie, as she has six kids to manage but still has that stunning aura. Her red carpet appearances as well as her gemstone jewelry always make the headlines. It’s amazing how she manages to pull it off with brood of six with her fiancé Brad Pitt. But that does not mean that Angie was always a super mom, she also had her issues. In an interview, she has said that after adopting Maddox in 2003, she learnt how to chuck her bad-girl ways and commit to motherhood. She added that once she committed to Maddox, she stopped being self-destructive and now she has five more, so she has to behave.
Named a Most-beautiful-woman-2012, sexy songstress Beyonce is a new mom. So, she has only four months of experience of motherhood as she gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter on Jan. 7. But we can still make out that she has strong motherly instincts as she has recently made a statement how she wants her baby to appreciate the inner beauty. Also the way she is indulging in blue sapphires which almost seem to be a symbolic of the baby Blue Ivy.
Up next on the list is Victoria Beckham, this posh singer-turned-designer has almost made motherhood look glam. So, all the moms you can really take a tip or two from this stylist regarding how to wear your gems or how to dress your kids, she makes it all look so easy and effortless. Recently in an interview she has said that she and her footballer husband David Beckham have always considered the family as the priority and it has always has been that way and it always will be that way. Beckham has four kids’ three sons, Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo and her youngest daughter Harper.
One mom who has been in the headlines recently was sexy Mad Men star January Jones. Though she has not yet revealed the name of the father of her son Xander, she was in news for her statement that she was eating her own placenta in order to deal with the exhaustion of being a new mom. The practice has generated lots of buzz on the internet and there are now numerous online video clips on the issue. If you want to stay youthful and vibrant get emerald jewelry.
Next up is the American Idol Judge Jennifer Lopez. Recently she even made a statement that she would love to have more kids though at the moment she seems to be very happy with her twins whom she adorably calls “coconuts”. She has also said that her kids bring so much joy and happiness to her life and they have been instrumental in being down to earth. This star and her love for sparkling colored diamonds have always been inspirational.

Recently there was an article in a very prominent publication that highlighted that it is harder for women to brush off being ignored on Mother’s Day than on Valentine’s Day. So, if you want to appreciate the mother of your kids we suggest that you get her some exquisite piece of gemstone jewelry, this mother’s day. This small token of love will definitely strengthen your marriage.
According to a report of number of sign ups in a infidelity-based matchmaking site AshleyMadison.com for the past four years, the number of married women signing up for its services soars really high on the day after Mother’s Day. This in the words of Noel Biderman the founder of the site is an example that how important is this day for a mother. He said that though Mother’s Day may not have the romantic ring of Valentine’s Day or a wedding anniversary but it is a day when women reflect on how their husbands treat them as mothers. So, if their efforts are left unappreciated they may be hurt.
Inspired by this statement we decided to talk to a few mothers what they think about celebrations and gifts on the mother’s day. Shirley Robinson, a professional mother of three said that being a parent is an unending responsibility and moms have to do a larger percentage of the work. The problem is that children don’t always show their appreciation for parenting skills so if your spouse disregards your contributions to a relationship it can be especially hurtful. Though, Robinson added that she can never forget her last mother’s day because her husband surprised her with a special five stone ring last year. “This ring is really special to me as each gemstone here represents one member of the family,” she said with a tearful smile.
Another mom, this time a housewife responded that she knows Mother’s Day is a day to honor my mom and to be honored by my children, but after 15 long years of togetherness you want your husband to acknowledge your contributions to the family on the Mother’s Day. She shared that couple of years ago when her mother-in-law was in town on the mother’s day suddenly everyone in the family was so excited and her husband even got a beautiful birthstone pendant for his mom. So now on the mother’s day when everyone forgets to celebrate the day, she feels slighted, angry, disappointed and even jealous.
According to Christina Steinorth a licensed psychotherapist, when men don’t celebrate Mother’s Day with their wives who are also the mother of their children it subconsciously makes the women feel that she is not that important and she is just being an incubator’ for her husband’s kids. Even a divorce lawyer di Laurie Puhn says the same thing. He has authored the book “Fight Less, Love More: 5-Minute Conversations to Change Your Relationship without Blowing Up or Giving In” and he said that if a man ignores Mother’s Day it amounts to ignoring to appreciate what his wife does on a daily basis.
So, if you want that the trust, compassion, intimacy and respect to continue to be part of your marriage please ensure that you get her a gift appreciating all that she is doing as a mom. Visit the Mother’s Jewelry section of Angara.com that has some of the best jewelry gift options for the moms. Also do it now so that you get the best deal.

Is it again a time to be prepared for an extravagant royal celebration (should we shop for a wedding vows renewal ceremony)? The most talked about royal couple of the year Princess William and Princess Catherine are going to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on April 29th so we could expect a grand carnival!
Since their marriage, Kate and William were the favorite of people and paparazzi. Their marriage was a famous affair and now that they have completed a year as husband and wife, a budding question is hammering our minds – how they will celebrate their first anniversary?
It was certainly a wonderful year and as this is a time for celebration, the couple has the whole sky. Yet being the crazy fans of the Duke and Duchess (no claps please), we would like to come up with some simple but quite romantic ideas which might add another sky to their limits. Shall we proceed? (Lights please)
A Romantic Picnic
It’s a pretty sweet way to show your love. The Duke could plan a surprise picnic for the lady at one of their estates. How about Balmoral Castle? With its history and natural beauty, the emotional bonding with royal family would certainly make it the best recreational spot. And as the royals love to walk their pet Lupo, this ancient estate with its forestry and farmland would be a perfect option for a long silent walk.
A Broadway Show
On Wednesday, the couple went for a charity show and you would also know that they had met for the first time during one such show back in 2002. It is evident that they love doing charity and it’s a part of their lives. But let’s take a break for a day from charity, not the show – the Prince could book a Broadway show for his lady and it would certainly please her after a fine dinner.
A Quite Escape
William proposed Kate near a remote lake on the slopes of Mount Kenya and the couple has a special liking about such remote places. So how about an escape from the lights and eyes? They can either go back to the past with a trip to the same lake or could find something equally amazing and isolated. After a whole year being busy with other talks, they deserve a day for their whisperings.
A Beaming Bling
Yes, you can’t deny this fact – jewelry is the best pick for a lady! The love of royals for jewelry is world famous and this is the simplest way to make an important day a milestone. William has few historic heirlooms in the royal treasure and he could even get a new bauble for his wife that would enhance her already glowing looks. Jewelry is the best way to celebrate every important event and as guys find gift-selection a bit confusing, a piece of jewelry hidden in a black box is just perfect.
We’ve heard the rumors that the couple wants the anniversary celebration a low-key, private and quite affair so the suggestions we’ve come up are pretty good as they express the unique and timeless emotions and are far away from the limelight.
We have the ideas for the royal couple but that doesn’t mean you can’t try them. After all it’s all about feelings and expressions. So even if you have a special day in near future then plan it in either of the mentioned ways and if confused, go for a sparkling piece of jewelry – you’ll surely be the winner!
