Mother's Day Gift Giving Guide: Massage Truffles from Serpent Spirall (Review and Giveaway)

CLOSED.

And, the winner is Squee!

Here is a relaxing gift to give your overworked mom this Mother's Day.  Let her have the night off and enjoy a set of massage truffles from Serpent Spirall.

So, what exactly are massage truffles you ask?  Massage Truffles are all natural and edible soothing buttery body balms made from organic cocoa butter. They come in five different flavors (sensual rose, cherries 'n cream, moontime, mama belly and excite mint) and offer the gift of healing touch to deepen relationships and feed your skin! 

At only $9.00 per massage truffle, you can't go wrong with a relaxing gift for that special mom or woman in your life.  I especially loved the cute tin container that each truffle comes in.  

I had the opportunity to try out the excite mint and couldn't believe how soothing it felt on my skin.  The minty fragrance was not too overpowering and it left my skin feeling soft and moisturized.  After this harsh winter it was nice to treat my skin to a nice treat to help it get ready for the summer months.  I will definitely be buying more massage truffles for myself and to give as gifts.  They also make the perfect gift to give new moms and expectant moms, who need a little pampering!

In addition to massage truffles, Levin also sells Moontime panties.  Here is a little more information about Levin's Moontime Panties c/o her Etsy site:

WHAT ARE MOONTIME PANTIES?

These panties are made for preteens who are just becoming Maidens and for Maidens of all ages who would like to better prepare for and celebrate their Moontime in a natural and sustainable way. They are made of bamboo, come in a variety of colors and launder beautifully so stains are no problem! Bamboo fabric is softer, more breathable than cotton and has a genetically built in antibacterial coating that never washes out.

These panties are each handmade with love and known for their durability. Comfort is maximized by combining the boy short bottoms with a bikini waist band. Fabric content is 95% bamboo and 5% spandex...very soft and yummy. Bamboo grows abundantly since it is a part of the grass family and is 100% biodegradable.

WHAT IS THE INTENTION BEHIND THEM?

Moontime Panties celebrate a rite of passage known as becoming a Maiden. The Maiden marks the first of three major milestones of womanhood represented by the Triple Goddess; Maiden, Mother and Crone. This holy trinity is also associated with the three phases of the moon: waxing, full and waning, and the cycles of life, death and rebirth.

Silkscreened onto the front of the panties is a powerful feminine symbol... the crescent moon with a dot above it. It is known as a Nada Bindu. Nada (crescent moon) represents the word or sound of the combination of Shiva and Shakti, the eternal pair of opposites pervading the universe. Bindu (dot) represents the supreme consciousness, the omnipresent point in space signifying unity, origin and the principle of manifestation.

These panties feature a small secret pocket located behind the Nada Bindu and come with a small, flat, smooth moonstone to go in it. Metaphysically speaking, Moonstone is good for balancing out mood swings. It enhances one's intuitive sensitivity while simultaneously lessening the overwhelming sensation of one's personal feelings. Moonstone honors the Goddess in all women. Vibrating with the feminine wisdom and energy of the waxing and waning moon, moonstone has a reflective and calming energy.

A woman's Moontime is a very powerful time for her. It is when she is most creative, intuitive, sensitive and in tune with the cycles of the moon.

Enjoy your moon!!!
