Hello Loves!
Today’s post is a special one and one that is very close to my heart.
For me, Mother’s Day is a tricky one simply because the two most important women in my life lives in two different countries. My mom lives in England and my grandma lives in Jamaica. Oh how I wish we all lived just a mile from each other. But, that is not my reality and as sad as it make me each year that Mother’s Day comes around, I find my own way to show love to these two beautiful women. I love celebrating them any chance I get. Both my mother and grandmother are to be credited for the woman I am today, and for that, I will always be grateful.
If I am to sum up three important things I learned in life from my mother an grandmother it would be:
1. Be kind always
2. Work hard and know myself
3. Spend my money wisely
I am extremely thankful that these women paid such close attention to ensuring these lessons were instilled in me, especially how I spend my money. I am the guru of money management and my close friend and family can attest to that. When my mother migrated, I remained with my grandmother and she would send my lunch and pocket money in large portions and my grandmother entrusted me to budget, allocate, and spend my money wisely. I never realized I was gaining money management skills until later in life.
It feels so good that I can return the favor to these beautiful women and spoil them, especially on Mother’s Day. I may not get to see them physically, but I still try to make their day by sending them money for Mother’s Day and other occasions. It is important that I feel safe sending money to my family oversees, and that my information, their information, and the money is protected. To put my mind at ease I use Xoom (A Paypal Service) when I send money oversees. It is an excellent tool to manage and move money quickly. With Paypal Xoom service I do not have to worry or stress over when and how I will get money to my family or if they will be able to access it soon enough. I have had issues where my family couldn’t received money I sent them due to multiple different reason, but with Paypal Xoom, it has been a breeze and that leaves us more time and energy to catch up on a call or Skype stress free. Xoom is the only remittances company that offers instant disbursements and you can select multiple ways for loved ones to receive money including bank transfers, cash pick-up or delivery, bill pay and mobile reload.
Have you used Xoom before? I highly recommend it and if you are still not sure what to get your mom for Mother’s Day, checkout their wide range of gift cards here.
As always my loves, thank you for swinging by
