Turn Back Time – Ways to Keep Your Skin Looking Younger

By Leave a Comment

Last week I made an amazing, yet very SAD discovery.
 
Mother Nature left a little mark on me in the form of a wrinkle.
I was looking in the rearview window and noticed it and of course, tried to wipe it away. Then after a few minutes I realized it wasn’t going away or could it?
 
So off I started on my search for the fountain of youth to find out what I could do today to make a difference now and hopefully tomorrow as well.
Starting from the inside out, here’s what I found can help or at least in the words of Cher, “If I could turn back time.”
WATER, WATER ALL AROUND
Water is the answer for almost everything and when it comes to skin there’s nothing better.
Think of a raisin…with water, your skin looks like a grape. Without it, it looks like a raisin. Which one do you want your skin to look like? Most people don’t even drink their recommended water intake. Roughly to find your water intake you want to multiply your weight by 2/3 or 67 percent. If you weight 100 pounds, you need 67 oz water. If you’re 200 pounds, you need around 130 oz. Of course, the environment, your exercise habits, alcoholic intake impacts your intake requirements. Just remember, you need about 2, 2 liters of water a day. Don’t like water or need a little help to drink more? Check out this post on “How to Get your H2O!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
Veggies and fruit aren’t just good for your diet, but for your skin, too. When it comes to our skin we want to be an ace – meaning we want to make sure we are getting our Vitamins A, C & E.  

They contain antioxidants that fight off the free radicals, aka the environmental toxins that’s in the air, in what we eat, and all around us. They also fight off our cancer risk and have several healthy benefits.
TOMATOES contain the antioxidant LYCOPENE which helps your skin cells work at their optimal rate. 
Eat at least 1/2 cup of cooked tomatoes a day.
BLUEBERRIES contain the antioxidant POLYPHENOLS, that helps to protect your skin and maintain elasticity and vibrancy. Plus polyphenols also help prevent memory problems.
Eat one or more 1/2-cup servings daily.
KALE contains the antioxidant LUTEIN to help prevent aging and contains iron.
Eat two or more 1/2-cup servings of kale or other greens a day.
RED PEPPERS contains the antioxidant BIOFLAVANOIDS to moisturize and heal the skin.
Eat two or more 1/2-cup servings a day of red peppers, carrots, beets, or similarly colored veggies.
PUT IT ON THICK
The cosmetic and beautycare makes up a multibillion dollar industry and it’s full of products that claim to turn back time. Whatever your price point you need to remember all skin care routines need to really consist of four steps:
1. Clean
2. Exfoliate
3. Moisturize
4. Protect
And you have to make sure to put on the sunscreen! I love SUPERGOOP – it’s sunscreen, anti-aging serum and moisturizer in one.
Some do and some don’t, but these products give you both instant and long-term results just like having a spa at home.

Perricone MD “OVM” Anti Aging $165
OVM- highest Cosmetic Concentration of Retinol
Peptides
Anti-Aging – Helps Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles leaving with you with the appearance of youthful skin
Silky Slumber
Using a silk or satin pillow instead of a cotton pillow can help fight off sleep induced wrinkles and even keep your hair in check! The fibers in many of them have copper, which is a proven mineral to minimize aging skin. Since cotton absorb moisture, it not only wipes off that moisturizer you just put on, but takes out all the moisture you want your skin to keep while you sleep.
It’s Gonna Be a Bright, Sunshiny day
Want to appear you’ve taken off a few years before you leave for the day? Then wear brighter colors. While I have a closet full of black and it makes me feel thinner, the color actually causes a  harsh contrast in the skin making your skin appear to be more dull and less vibrant. But adding color into your wardrobe, it appears you have a more youthful look. Even if it’s a necklace, cardigan or scarf, a small change can make a big difference in looking younger! Also by changing up those accessories to more trendier pieces, you can make that black dress you’ve been wearing for 10 years and your skin look runway ready.
Say goodbye to wrinkled skin! 

 


Taste the Difference, Make a Difference with Barilla {Italian Sausage Sandwich Recipe}

By Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Barilla®.

 Everyone has a favorite meal and for my hubs, hands down, it’s Italian Sausage and Peppers! Since he’s been hard at work to complete his law degree (Go Aggies!), I wanted to give him a special meal that the whole family would still enjoy!  In efforts to make everyone happy, I took our family recipe for Italian Sausage Sandwiches and using  sauce, added a serving of veggies without them knowing it!  

Made with all-natural, quality ingredients like vine-ripened tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and herbs, opening up a jar tastes like you’ve been working for hours for that homemade taste without the mess! So in less than 30 minutes, I had made a delicious dinner that was good to eat while it was doing good for others. See, when you buy a jar of sauce from Barilla® from now until May 31, Barilla will donate $.05 cents to Feeding America’s National Produce Program, with a minimum donation of $150,000! 

 How easy is that to make a good meal that does good using !?! 

And to sweeten the “spaghetti bowl” even more, one lucky reader will win  a prize pack from Barilla® to help you plan your own family dinner! This amazing prize pack includes a jar (1) of Barilla® sauce and one (1) Barilla® branded wooden spoon, one (1) Barilla® Spaghettata Bowl, and five (5) coupons, each redeemable for one (1) jar of Barilla® pasta sauce – valued at $60! 


Just see below how you can get your hands on this prize pack! 

I know I can’t wait to make a big bowl of pasta for dinner with this perfectly sized bowl! 

 Italian Sausage Sandwiches

1 lb. Italian sausages
1 package of submarine sandwich bread or small Italian bread loaves 
(do not cut in half, but instead of cut into a V to insert the fixings
1 jar Barilla 
1 onion, sliced thin
1-2 peppers (green, red and yellow), sliced thin
Six slices of provolone cheese, cut in slices
Olive oil 

Preboil the Italian sausages by boiling them whole in water for 5-7 minutes to keep sausages juicy and cuts down the grease. Then grill/pan fry the sausages until cooked through. Allow them to cool slightly and then cut them either horizontally or vertically depending on your preference (I like them like coins so it’s easier for the kids to bite into.) 

 In the saucepan on medium heat, add olive oil and vegetables. Sauteed vegetables until brown. 

 Grill bread by broiling in the oven on high for a few minutes with a little olive oil or begin building your sandwich. 

 Dress the sausages with the sauce, vegetables, sausages and cheese across the top. Keeping the oven on broil, place sandwich on pan and allow the cheese to melt over bread. 

 Serve sandwich with salad or potato chips!

How Mother’s Day is Made at The Shops at Park Lane with No Shopping at All

By Leave a Comment

Disclaimer: I was part of a tour to check out The Shops at Park Lane. So glad they did since I’d never been. That’ll change now. See why below. 

I have a confession…I don’t like to shop. 

Well, let me rephrase, I just don’t think of it as something fun, but work. Hard work, but someone has to do it. 

On Mother’s Day, shopping it’s not exactly my idea of how I want to spend my day, but instead, relaxing and enjoying myself while I do little to nothing at all. 

So the thought of going to The Shops of Parks Lane may not be the first place I’d suggest to spend Mother’s Day, but after a recent trip, I’m pleasantly surprised! 


Actually, I was flat out wrong. 

In just three hours, all the woes and drama of my day had dissipated and I was, for at least a moment, without a care in the world. At a shopping center. 

Right…? 

So what did I do that was so dang enjoyable that it changed my life that day in a little bit of time and only around $50? 

Photo from The Shops at Park Lane website

I got my hair washed, dryed and style at the Aveda Institute of Dallas for one. And in beautiful Aveda fashion, the amazing aromatherapy started at the door and led me to a comfortable chair with a lovely woman who instantly whisked me away to a place of peace with a light neck rubdown to relax me before we started the wash & dry. Then during the wash, my hands were given the same love and attention with a massage. 


“I’m in Heaven…” and I didn’t even have my beautiful hair done yet, but it was perfect, anyways. 

For a moment I heard the music you hear in the commercials and I twirled my hair around in such the way you see Eva Mendes does in her Pantene commercials. 

After my relaxing hour at Aveda for less than $20 (yes, less than $20), I was off to give a little love to my very sad nails. Normally, I just have them buffed, but this time I wanted a little something extra and the lovely ladies at L’acqua Nail Spa Lounge were able to give me an express gel manicure. 



In 30 minutes my nails were picture perfect. If I had only had a few more hours to spend for a pedicure, facial and massages. But the Mother’s Day packages now available are affordably priced for a second-trip to the lovely nail boutique known for the working women’s mecca for getting ladies in and our during their lunch hour! 

MOTHER’S DAY SPA PACKAGES
 
So what’s a girl to do when she’s had her nails and hair done and no where to go? This one went to the Sleep Number store! Considering I’d always wanted to lay down on one and and find my sleep number, without kids and a few minutes to spare I went on in and laid down. 
 
I was in heaven again. No hearing any crying, no kids screaming, no iPhone ringing, and just comfort. 
 
I found out all kinds of stuff behind the Sleep Number bed and that a new app can even measure how you slept and how to make it your sleep time count. Considering the grossness of having two children sleep, eat and jump on your bed, I can confidently say that my bed is not in tip-top shape. And my back and sciatic nerve can concur. 
 
 
While I couldn’t put a Sleep Number bed in the back of the car, a girl can definitely plan for a future purchase, right? 
 
So after three hours of nothing but pure relaxation, I went to a shopping center and didn’t shop one bit. But I’ll admit, I eyed a few places I wanted to check out. And a few more to eat at…
 
I’ll be back. Especially for that $18 blowdry. And you or your mom will too. 
Happy Mom’s Day!
 
 
 



Real Moms Talk About Real Body Issues

By Leave a Comment

Mom makeover. 

Tummy tuck. 

Liposuction. 

The list goes on of all the things I know I’ve considered in efforts to have a body I could be proud of.  Heck I’ve asked for them for anniversary gifts. However, as a mom of a little girl, it’s hard to say in one hand “fix it” and another hand, “be proud of it.”  

And especially in Big D, home of more plastic surgery than any other place except LA, I thought this was a pretty big conversation.  

So what do you think of these stats from RealSelf? Especially after this blogger was asked her for a photo with a shirt on as part of her feature in Shape magazine after her weight loss left her less midsection less than airbrushed. 

So it’s time to weigh in…(well not really, but I want to hear your thoughts!)

Make Mother’s Day Last with #Yourkidvid (Win an iPad Mini)

By Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Yourkidvid.

 It’s no secret that moms like to be acknowledged for their hard work, especially on Mother’s Day. However, as my hubs can attest, appreciation doesn’t need to come in the form of big expensive gift to be meaningful (although I am still grateful for those diamond earrings that year). This is where “the thought is what counts” can really be put to work. Unfortunately, creativity, time and presentation are difficult for most people to put into action to create a picture-perfect gift for Mother’s Day that brings the tears, hugs and major brownie points.

 While framing that adorable shot of the kids at Christmas or Easter and presenting to mom is nice, it just doesn’t give the whole story…

Spring Perfect Slow Cooker Dessert Recipes {As seen on TV}

By Leave a Comment

Ahhh, spring. 

That magical two weeks in Texas where it’s nice enough to go outdoors where you are either going to get eaten up by a tornado or melt from heat exhaustion. So with such little time to enjoy the season, you have to spend as much enjoying it and not in the kitchen.


So bust out the slowcooker to take away some of the work and the heat – even when it comes to desert! Take a look at the recipes for three recipes you’ve probably never thought out making in your slowcooker – Strawberry Cheesecakes in a Jar, Oatmeal Cookie Apples, and Banana Rum Cake. These recipes are part of the WFAA Good Morning Texas segment on April 28 – hope you’ve watched! 

SLOWCOOKER STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKES IN A JAR
Ingredients
Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon melted butter (optional)
Filling
2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
1 2/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 large eggs, at room temperature
½ teaspoon orange zest

3/4 cup cream, half & half, or whole milk

Instructions
For the crust: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 1 tablespoon sugar. (If you like you can add a tablespoon melted butter to the mix for a more moist the crust.) Place 2 tablespoons sweetened crumbs in each of seven 1/2-pint Mason jars. Press down lightly.
For the mixture: Cream together the cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, eggs, orange zest and cream until smooth, but be careful not to overmix. Put batter into a pitcher for easier pouring and fill each jar 3/4 full with batter.
Place jars in a 8 qt slowcooker. Fill the crockpot with water until it reached about ½ way to the jars (also called a warm bath or bain marie. (To make sure you don’t get water in the cheesecakes, place tops back on batter and then remove after pouring.) Cover slow cooker with lid and allow for cooking for 1-2 hours. (It’s all about how your crockpot cooks.)
To check for doneness, use a knife and insert from outer edge and check that the knife comes out moist, but clean.
Turn off the slowcook cooker and allow the jars to cook for 20 minutes before removing. After placing on rack, allow the jars to rest at room temperatures for an hour before sealing. Then chill in the fridge for several hours before serving.
Add your favorite topping like macerated strawberries sprinkled with sugar.


SLOWCOOKER OATMEAL COOKIE APPLES
Ingredients
4 apples
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup margarine
3/4 cup raisins
1 cup instant oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Core apples
Instructions
Wash and core apples (I’d make a larger hole than a regular core job to make room for the good stuff.)
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Stuff the apples with the oatmeal raisin mixture.
Spray crockpot/slow cooker with a non-stick spray, then place apples inside.
Sprinkle the rest of the apple crisp topping over the apples.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. When ready, the apples should be very soft to the touch/poke.
Serve with ice cream or a little cream like an oatmeal cookie.

BANANA RUM CAKE
Inspired by Better Crocker

Ingredients

Bread

2 2/3 cups Original Bisquick® mix
1 ½ cups mashed very ripe bananas
¾ cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
4 tablespoons Spiced Rum
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup chopped walnuts

Glaze

2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoon spiced rum, warmed in the microwave
Instructions
Grease bottom only of 3 1/2- to 4-quart round slow cooker with shortening or cooking spray. Sprinkle lightly with 2 teaspoons of the Bisquick mix.
In large bowl, stir bananas, granulated sugar, 1/3 cup melted butter, 4 tablespoons spiced rum, vanilla and eggs until well blended. Stir in remaining Bisquick mix, cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the walnuts until well blended. Pour into slow cooker.
Cover; cook on high for 1 ½ hours to 2 hours or until toothpick inserted in center of loaf comes out clean. Turn off slow cooker; uncover, and remove base from cooker to cooling rack. Let cool 15 minutes.
Loosen edge of bread with knife. Remove bread from slow cooker to cooling rack. Cool 1 hour.

For glaze, in small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth and consistency of thick syrup. Drizzle over top of bread. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts.

Here’s to enjoying the weather!

1 Hour, 1,000 Calories. Title Boxing Club, Allen & McKinney {First Class Free}

By 1 Comment

Disclaimer: I’ve received complimentary classes for the purposes of learning how great Title Boxing Club is. 

Working out.
It’s good for you and necessary for relieving stress, flexibility and losing weight. But with taking care of the kids, handling work projects and dealing with home responsibilities, it’s impossible most days to find a way to fit it into the schedule. And for a lot of mamas, there’s even guilt attached to taking the time to for you (and honestly, your health), even if it’s only for an hour.
So when we have the opportunity to bust a move, you have to make it count.
That means :30 minutes on the treadmill ain’t gonna cut it. And let’s face it: it’s B-O-R-I-N-G, which is why you aren’t trying hard to work that workout into your day.
And believe me, I had no idea I’d be there girl with boxing gloves throwing an uppercut into a punching bag. Don’t know what that means. Yea, I didn’t either until Title Boxing Club.

But if that idea of “Rocky” doesn’t sound like you either, give me just give me a second.
I bet burning up to 1000 calories an hour does. And getting all that built up stress out of your system does. Maybe it’s the pink gloves and purple wraps that will grab your attention. Or the fact that you have less than 90 days from now before you quite possible need to donn a bathing suit in front of other people…

Intimidated by the pure concept of boxing?  I was too, but only a few minutes in class I had comfort in what I was doing and after just one class, I knew that I had gotten a full body work out that made me feel stronger, focused and ready to take on the fun of picking up kids, grocery shopping and the email list sitting on my iPad.
And all it took was one hour.
I didn’t have a clue what to expect when I walked in the door for my first class, but immediately someone showed me exactly how to put on my wraps, put on my gloves and how the class worked. However, if the Type A part of your brain wants to be ready to go on the first time, there’s a great video on how to wrap your hands or feel free to have one of the team members show you how each time you come until you have the hang of it.




·   The first 15 of class is the warm up: You’ll get your blood pumping with a complete range of exercises including stretching, jogging, calisthenics, jumping, lunging and squats.

·   The second part of class consists of 30 minutes working with the bag: The bulk of your workout is set up in three minute rounds that include basic boxing combinations followed by a one minute “active rest.” This gives you a break, while keeping your heart rate up.

·    The last 15 minutes is sculpting and resistance: You’ll use workout gear and body resistance to strengthen your core and sculpt your body while cooling down with floor work and toning exercises.

What I really love about Title Boxing Club is that everyone gets a workout. I’ve seen men and women, every color and ethnicity and all ages throwing punches and kicking the bag all in the name of fitness.
Still not convinced it’s for you? Then try it free!
The first class is free, so you can find out how amazing Title Boxing Club is and how quick you’ll be ready for your next class.
And it’s only one hour. And 1,000 calories…
