Wait- did u see me on TV? 😍

The Today Show

If you saw my stories a couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Today Show with Hoda and Jenna! Aaaaahhhhhh! 😍 

It’s always such a pinch me moment when I get to share and talk about my favorite beauty products live on air-

but more importantly… I LOVE HODA AND I LOVE JENNA 🥰. They’re wonderful in person as they are on TV! But this appearance was a bit more special because I had my family in studio to support me 💗 and they got some air time too!

Let’s take a moment for my Kermit the frog look 💚 because I’m obsessed!

The tweed set is from Endless Rose and I paired it with Alexandre Birman heels!

Okay, let’s get into the products I showcased which are perfect for summer, from skincare essentials to haircare must-haves.

1.  Bye Bye Bloat Depuff: Lymphatic drainage massages can really help tighten and depuff skin, while giving you a spa-level treatment! Love Wellness’ 3 step process is the best bang for your buck!

2.  Solaris LED Brush: If you’re experiencing hair fall this hairbrush is for you! This LED brush uses red and blue light to stimulate hair follicles while reducing breakage. I also love that it vibrates to massage the scalp!

3.  Acne Light Therapy Patch: Say goodbye to your pimple patches- because this is an upgrade! LAB does pimple patches with a twist and uses light therapy to treat pimples, blemishes, and breakouts. The best part is it’s reusable up to 30 times- you have to give this a try!

4.  Salon X-Tend: I did a review on this, you can read it here

5.  Joban Tinted Deodorant: A tinted deodorant that not only controls odor but also conceals discoloration and hyperpigmentation. And don’t worry it’s sweat proof and water resistant while also being inclusive of all skin tones!

Traveling with kids

Okay, now for the best part – our NYC family trip! 🤩 

We’ve been planning this for a while, and let me tell you, traveling with kids takes some serious prep. But when you get it right, it’s an absolute blast!

Preparation is Key

• Pack Smart: Bring essentials like snacks, water, and toys. Don’t forget weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes.

  I love this set from Target, it’s so comfortable and perfect for hot summer days! Plus Kai wanted to match with me, how cute!! 🥰 

Traveling in NYC

• Public Transport: Utilize subways and buses. Also, prepare for a lot of walking, so bring your stroller in case the toddlers get fussy!

• Kid-Friendly Attractions: We knew we had to plan outings that the kids would enjoy, but also be a fun time for the adults!

  

  ➡️ Sloomooinstitute Slime Museum. Obviously the kids had the time of their lives, but the grown ups were also able to get down and dirty with some slime!

  ➡️ Aladdin on Broadway. Mila’s 10th birthday was spent watching this beautiful show with an amazing cast and incredible performances. Whenever you’re in NYC, Broadway shows are a must! So, pick your favorite show and make a night out of it! 😊

  ➡️ NYC bike tours. We had so much fun riding bikes around the city! It makes for an ideal way to see the sights and explore different neighborhoods. Plus, it was a fun and active way for the whole family to spend time together. 🚲️ 

General Tips

• Be ready to adjust plans based on kids' moods and energy. So always stay flexible and give yourself extra time in your hands.

• Please take frequent breaks! Keep in mind that the kids will need this, or they’ll get exhausted and so will you as the day progresses!

• Keep snacks handy for the kids! Always keep your purse or bags stocked with little treats they’ll love!

• PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES! If you don’t get the “phone storage is full” notification, you’re not doing it right. 😂 

With a little planning and flexibility, traveling with kids can be amazing and super memorable!

Happy travels! 👋 😎
