It’s no secret I love to travel. Exploring new places with my kids ranks at the top of my to-do list. Earlier this year, I set a goal to travel as much as we can, especially while the kids are young and even if it’s only for a few days. We’ve done a great job sticking to our monthly travel plan and we have some exciting things planned for the second half of the year including a trip to the Jersey Shore for a week.  While I’ve become quite the pro at packing our clothes and only bringing the essentials (which is a big step for the girl who brought eight, yes eight suitcases on a trip a few years ago), one part of packing that I still overlook is packing my toiletry bag. I’m always tweaking the contents and finding new things that I don’t know how I traveled without before, like Steripod.  [Read more…] about 5 Must Have Travel Toiletry Essentials

Teaching my kids the importance of sun safety is something I don’t take lightly. I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t take care of my skin as well as I should have, especially in my early twenties. Once I became a mom, that instantly changed. Now we use sunscreen all the time. Anytime we are outside, whether we’re spending the day at the beach or just an afternoon in the yard playing, sunscreen is a must. They’re so used to applying sunscreen before we go out that if I forget for some reason, they are quick to remind me. It’s just become second nature for them. These sun safety tips will help protect your kid’s skin all year long.

Over the years, my teen’s back to school shopping list has drastically changed. Gone are the days of bringing extra glue sticks to class for those elementary school projects. Now his shopping list consists of things to help him look and feel his best like new clothes, snacks to fuel him through the day, just the basics of supplies -pencils, a notebook or two and folders, and personal care products like CLEAN & CLEAR®. It’s kind of bittersweet actually. Watching him go from this cute little toddler to a teen in the blink of an eye. [Read more…] about Back to School Skincare Routine Tips for Tweens & Teens

Summer will be here before you know it. That means it’ll be time to wear all our favorite summer dresses, shorts and swimsuits. If I’m showing that much skin, naturally I want my skin to look it’s best.  I moisturize my skin from the outside everyday even during the winter months, but I’m a firm believer that healthy skin starts from the inside.  These 5 tips for healthy summer skin are ones I try to follow year round and not just in the summer.  [Read more…] about 5 Tips for Healthy Summer Skin
