With an amazing husband, two incredible children, and the blink of an eye later, I’m here, at the age of 40. Turning 40 has also been a series of first for me. From incorporating a healthy lifestyle, friend detoxing and going through my first mammogram.
So today I thought I would share a little more about what to expect at your first mammogram! I’m sure that some of the procedure and equipment varies from clinic to clinic, but here’s a general overview of Mammogram 101: View Post
I had never imagined that 5 years into motherhood I would still be a Stay-At-Home mom…always being on the go, commuting to and from work and handling my own check book was my routine, so you could imagine how deciding to become a stay at home mom was a choice that I did not take lightly.

If you’ve read my blog a few times, you would know how much I love Summer…and with what seemed like the longest winter yet in New York I am especially psyched about enjoying some fun in the sun with family and friends. So with pool play dates already booked and sexy “mom approved” bathing suit already packed, I’m here to dish on the essentials that every mom must carry at all times in order to make your “Swim Kit” complete.

Kale is everywhere—in juices, smoothies, salads, and everyone is talking about. Are you curious about what Kale is and why it’s so good?
Kale is a dark leafy green vegetable; it is a similar vegetable to cabbage, with green or purple leaves. It can be eaten raw, steamed, sautéed, blanched, baked, and even added to a smoothie or juice!
Kale provides the body with fiber and chlorophyll, both of which support the body’s natural detoxification efforts. Fiber binds with toxins and other undesirables in your digestive tract and helps usher them out. Chlorophyll helps to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the body. In order to successfully detox you need to get the waste out.
Here are some easy ways to start incorporating kale into your diet:
Not sure what the miracle was…the fact that I was able to read my favorite magazine cover to cover or the special find that was featured inside the glossy pages. Guess you could say both!
Inside the April issue of Instyle Magazine (with J Lo on the cover), I came across the “Beauty Talk” section which featured Salma Hayek‘s beauty secret…the 47-year-old beauty notes that the secret to her beauty is her addiction to her own products, Nuance ($20; cvs.com). How awesome is it to hear that a celebrity is actually “addicted” to their product line.
OK, now I am hooked.
It doesn’t take me much for me to visit my local CVS, so when I learned that I could get a hold of these products in only a few steps to my home, I was psyched.
Taking care of my dry skin during the winter months is such a pain, so when I saw that her line had an Exfoliating Cleaning Scrub ($8.99) and Hydrating Body Cleansing Gel ($9.99) to help me battled my winter blues I was even more psyched.
So here’s what I did when I got home:
I opened it.
I smelled it.
I lathered – no– luxuriated in it.
I felt my moisturized skin.
I will never use another bath exfoliate or gel, ever. I spent about $20.00 for these two containers. I promise you its worth the $20. Can’t wait to purchase the rest of the line and try them all out.
So in doing my research I read that all the Nuance products range between $4.99 and $19.99, and the line includes: Nuance Salma Hayek Skincare: Products are specially formulated with natural fruit extracts and essential oils to address multiple skincare concerns like aging, loss of hydration, and uneven tone and texture. Nuance Salma Hayek Cosmetics: Include a full line of products for face, eyes, lips and nails in a palette of stunning shades. Advanced technology and fine ingredients create beautiful, endless, customized looks. Nuance Salma Hayek Hair Care: Products address the needs of all hair types with formulations for fine hair, dry hair and chemically treated hair. The line includes treatments that nourish, style and help protect for all-day, healthy- looking hair. Nuance Salma Hayek Body: Treatments combine nourishing botanicals and natural fruit extracts to help create more youthful, hydrated and radiant- looking skin.
