From two sisters, single-mothers, and self-proclaimed ‘cancer thrivers’ comes Lula Eye Masks, the perfect gift to help mums catch up on some well-deserved rest this Mother’s Day.
Available in a range of scents and sizes, the iconic self-warming eye masks are designed to warm up as soon as they’re worn, promoting 20 minutes rest and ‘time-out’ – while also helping with sleep, migraines, and dry eyes.
Aisling and Margaret Cunningham are a personal testament to the effectiveness of the masks – with the masks becoming even more important when they were undergoing breast cancer treatment in 2021.
“Lula literally means warrior, and with so many incredible mothers out there powering on and doing amazing things on a daily basis we couldn’t have chosen a better name!”

Lula is a reminder that the best warriors know that there is a time for rest and recovery, and the masks are a simple tool to encourage self-care.
