Travel Tray as seen on Fox 5 San Diego

by

Did you catch us on Fox 5 San Diego this morning on our segment about Family Travel? I am so excited to share one of the products I found a few weeks ago called Travel Tray. How many of us mom and dads have french fries, or squished up goldfish crackers on the floor in our cars? If you don’t then you are my hero, and please come train my children! But if you are like most of us the floor of your car needs to be cleaned daily. Travel tray to the rescue!

Travel Tray was designed and made by a dad in San Diego. When he almost got into a car accident trying to help with spills in the backseat he knew he needed to do something and I am so glad he did! Travel Tray is focused on stopping spills in the car, but just as great for kids when you are on the go. Easy to clean, sturdy and designed to keep snacks handy and mess free. Travel Tray securely holds cups, bottles, snacks and food reducing messy spills!

Travel Tray is made in the USA from lightweight BPA free plastic. Refillable tray provides customization and the ability to use Travel Tray to best suit your individual needs. It retails on their website for only $14.99, I will say though if you have more than one child you will need more than one! But they offer free 2-day shipping on orders of 2 trays or more.

Family Travel with HomeAway

by

Family travel is exciting and daunting at the same time. What will they have when we get there? Will there be a refrigerator, or a microwave, which when you have children are a must! Recently my family and I stayed at a hotel a few blocks from Disneyland and while it was a suite there was no privacy. When we put the kids to bed, we too had to go to bed, but its our vacation too right? That is one of the reasons I love HomeAway.com, you can choose what type of property you want to stay in. HomeAway has you covered from an apartment to a condo, townhouse, villa, cottage, home… and the list actually goes on to include farmhouse, chalet, barn, or a boat…how fun!

HomeAway is ideal for families of any size because you can filter how many bedrooms are needed, as well as the maximum per night you want to spend. We are planning a family vacation to Kauai and we needed a few different things, one was being able to walk to the beach, it needs to sleep 6-8 and not break the bank. Thankfully checking HomeAway now is ideal as most vacations are booked in April, so there is plenty of inventory to check out.

Family travel is just that travel with your family which includes little ones, get them in on the fun! Ask the kids what they want…within reason of course, but showing them the pictures will get them as excited as you are. Staying in a hotel is double the price and a lot less space, with HomeAway you are able to select what is right for your family and your vacation needs. Having previous visitors reviews available to read is very helpful, and lets you know exactly what to expect. With HomeAway you really will feel like you are at home, with something at every price point there is nothing stopping you from booking your next vacation now!

The doctor is in…and she is a magician for your skin

by

When I was a child my grandmother told me the most important thing to do for your skin is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. This woman who was modeling up until a few years before she passed, had always taken care of herself. I would spend hours watching her get ready doing her make-up and hair  and the bags and shoes always had to match. But the most important thing she always said was take care of your skin you have it for life. Besides her obsession with bags and shoes she also left me with her words of wisdom about taking care of my skin which has stayed with me my whole life.

I have very sensitive skin, I can’t wear sunscreen, or any products that have any scent added to it. Every time I have ever gotten a facial I have always broken out afterwards. It was just something that I came to expect when I had a facial. I’ve had facials all over the world and it was always what would happen. A friend reached out and said I should try going to HD Beauty a Skin Care Boutique because like me she has very sensitive skin. I booked the HD Beauty Facial, which is a multi-step treatment, which cleanses and exfoliates to help you achieve a clear complexion and younger looking skin. More details on the facial are listed below:

  • At HD Beauty, our skilled aesthetician performs advanced clinical-grade custom facials that can help your skin look its best by addressing individual skin concerns. After a skin analysis, each facial is customized tailored to the client’s skin needs and skin type.
  • This incredible powerhouse facial is way of combining the finest innovative skin care technologies into one effective skin renewal treatment. The results are instantaneous and visibly noticeable upon completion of your first session.
  • Facials can be given to almost anyone, and our line of skin products can cater even to the most sensitive skin type. Our facials involve a deep pore cleaning, exfoliation to rid dead skin cell build up, and nourish the skin.
  • Getting facials done regularly each skin cycle (4-6 weeks apart) will promote a well-hydrated, clearer, and balanced complexion. Custom facial treatments boost collagen and visibly reduce fine lines, combining antioxidants and peptides that prevent the face, neck, and décolleté from pre-mature aging.

As soon as I walked in, I felt this may be a different experience than most facials I’d had in the past. Melanie is so incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. We went over my skin care routine and what problems I have with my skin and then she went to work. To say she is a magician is actually an understatement. She went over every product she used and told me exactly what it would do for my skin and what to expect afterwards. Not only did I have the best facial of my life, my skin didn’t break out afterwards! This was HUGE for me, it had never happened, I kept waiting and the days went by and I had nothing but smooth clear skin.

After we talked more about what exactly I really needed help with, my biggest issues were redness and dark circles under my eyes. Most people think my skin is perfect because I don’t break out often but truth is I cover it with heavy make-up daily. Some of my best friends have never seen me without make-up because I’m to embarrassed of how my skin looks. Thankfully Melanie also has her own line of skin care products called HD Beauty Clinical Skincare. She recommended I try the Rescue VIT-K Creme which diminishes facial redness and improves the appearance of dark undereye vascular circles. It was almost like she made this creme especially for me, I could not wait to get home and try it. I have been using it for a couple weeks and can’t believe what a difference it has made for my redness and dark circles. I have tried so many different products hoping it would help only to be let down. I’m happy to say I finally found something that works for my skin. If you have sensitive skin but need help with redness or dark circles this product is one you must try.
