Being a mother is

- COMPILED BY NOMBUSO DLAMINI

ELLO

Style lovers and all the gorgeous mothers out there. It is Mother’s Day and Mother’s Day is a celebratio­n honouring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. So, this Mother’s day, make it special for your mum by telling her some sweet things that you might have said to her less often. It is always good to find some nice things to say to your mum, but it is not as easy as it seems. We at Style have a compilatio­n of three words that you can use to make your mother smile.

1. ‘I love you more than words can express.’

Sometimes the simplest statements are the most powerful, and this one expresses a deep emotional connection to your mum. For everyone who is searching for ‘special words for my mother’, these are the best to go with because words can really never express the whole love for mothers.

2. ‘I’m proud of the person you are and the values you’ve instilled in me.’

This is a nice way to show respect for your mum’s personal qualities and to express gratitude for the positive influence she has had on your life. Letting her know that she has raised you well is always among the nice things to say to your mum.

Your search for ‘short and special words for my mother’ sums up here because this will express how open and free you feel while sharing things with her. This is a way to express the deep emotional bond you share with your mum and to show that you trust and value her as a friend and companion.

I can’t get enough of this special day and leading on Style in this edition is a woman who lets nothing get in the way of being a great mother, provider and protector of her children. Gcinile Dlamini Mofokeng speaks about her life experience­s and how being a mother shaped her into becoming the warrior that she is. Style Raids Your Closet is back for another instalment and because it is Mother’s Day, things have changed a bit.

his week stores were raided for the perfect Mother’s Day outfit for Phephisa Mdluli’s closet, I promise you it will be fun to read and both features are on pages two and three of this edition. Some of the precious mums at Instacash didn’t want to miss out on the fun and told us a bit about their children and life as a mother. We also have an awesome range of book ideas compiled by Mlondzi Nkambule and this week he has fresh ones just for you.

The fun does not end there, while we were going about our days, minding our own business ,The Plug was roaming the streets and snooping around for the hottest news on the block.

In closing for this edition on Style, The world needs our mothers.
