What a great weekend to kick off the start of summer. The kids already saw one summer blockbuster movie! We do have a few more weeks of school left (ugh!) and that is what we talked about this week on 980 WCAP-AM.

If I was going away this Memorial Day weekend I would bring this FAB kit with me. First Aid Beauty (FAB!) has this airport friendly travel kit with four of their popular beauty products to keep skin clean and hydrated while on the go. You know I love travel size products and am always on the lookout for great new ones, especially ones that are gentle, effective and don’t have any yucky ingredients in them!
The First Aid Beauty Feel Fab Kit contains First Aid Beauty’s Face Cleanser, Daily Face Cream, Smooth Shave Cream, and Ultra Repair Lip Therapy. The FAB Face Cleanser is a mild, nourishing cleanser that’s ideal for all skin types. The Daily Face Cream is a lightweight and oil-free. Their FAB Smooth Shave Cream is a gentle, non-irritating formula and the Ultra Repair Lip Therapy has the same ingredients as the Ultra Repair Cream and is great at nourishing and protecting your lips.
Check out all their products as they are free of harsh chemicals and contain no parabens, phthalates, alcohol, fragrances and artificial dyes.

Parfait anyone?
I am not one to write about recipes (we all know I cannot cook!) But I have to share this “dessert” my kids just love. I enjoy this treat for breakfast and make it for an after dinner treat for my kids and they love it too. I think the parfait cups are what makes it the most wanted “treat” in my household. Plus, it’s healthy as I make it with fruit and nuts! So here is the recipe and photo!
Yogurt Parfait
1/2 cup Stoneyfield low fat french vanilla yogurt in a cup
Sprinkle a small amount of granola (we like Stop & Shop Nature’s Promise brand granola – any kind but the Banana Nut one is great)
Add some sliced almonds
Add frozen small blueberries and/or mango chunks (we also like the mini ones – Wyman’s of Maine. Actually eating them frozen by themselves is a treat too)
I will then add a few mini chocolate chips at the top
Enjoy!

I have been looking for a dry shampoo that has no parabens or sulfates and I found it! Hair Rules offers a healthy approach to hair care. They have something for everyone – straight, kinky or curly hair. The “lift” is a volumizing dry shampoo that smells great and has a light, fresh scent. I also tested out the volumizing shampoo and loved it as it is safe for color treated hair. I used it on the kids too and they gave it a thumbs up. The volumizing hair spray works great as well and trust me it was difficult to find hair spray without sulfates and parabens! If you notice in the photo the cap is missing as I have been using the hair spray so much! You can find the line at Target or Ulta.

Bring on the summer fun!
Memorial Day is this coming weekend. Today on 980 WCAP-AM we were talking pool and sun safety and what to do on the first official weekend of summer.
I don’t wear much foundation but when I go on TV I need a little extra coverage. You know a make-up is good when you want to wear it every day and that is how I feel about MAKE UP FOR EVER’S HD line. In three simple steps you can have a flawless finish and believe me people have commented on my skin when I wear it.
The company sent me the HD complexion starter kit which has all the essentials and costs $79. What you get is the HD Invisible Cover Foundation shade of your choice, the HD Microperfecting Primer, The Microfinish Powder and the HD Kabuki Brush.
I love the primer. It is a lightweight oil-free formula that minimizes the appearance of pores. The Microfinish Powder is a 100% mineral silica formula that adds a soft-focus effect to the complexion. The Kabuki Brush is so soft! They have many other great make-up products including their new smudge-proof, long lasting eye shadow pencil. The stick is easy to use, waterproof and it LASTS. The creamy shadow glides on the lids quickly and effortlessly. It comes in 12 colors in either matte or shiny finishes and retails for $20.00. Try it and let me know what you think.
