Back to school season is just around the corner, and in some states schools are already in session! The summer has been brutal, creating a great breeding environment for lots of colds and viruses. My toddler, who hasn't been sick in about a year, has gotten sick TWICE within the past month! With high fevers, sniffles, and a bad case of lethargy, my little girl is so over being sick. I know that once kids get sick, their weakened immune system ...

Keep Germs Away This Back to School Season!
I cannot even begin to say how indispensable wet wipes are. Whether or not you have kids, wipes can come in handy for so many situations. For example, before I had kids, I always had a package of Wet Ones in my car at all times. From cleaning up spilled coffee, to sanitizing my hands after business meetings, I always reached for the Wet Ones. My favorite was always the individually wrapped towelettes that transport easy in my purse and don't dry ...
Build up Your Child’s Immune System with #culturellekids
We've been going on a lot of family vacations this summer, despite having a newborn. Sure, when we were new parents we feared every surface my first born came in contact with. Every time a child near her sneezed, sniffled, or coughed, I shuttered at my husband that this kid would get my child sick. I'm over it- children will get sick no matter what preventative measures you take. They will get dirty, come in contact with germs, and touch things ...
Does Tria Blue Light Therapy Work?
For the past month I have been trying to get a clear complexion. I heard of the latest technology in blue light therapy and knew this was something I would love to try. I've suffered from horrible acne flare ups since I was a kid, and while I don't have extreme acne problems, I do have problem areas that just don't look great. My "spot" is not the infamous T-Zone, but rather my chin. An aesthetician once told me that chin flare ups have to do ...
Treating Summer Booboos On the Go!
Last year my toddler did something seemingly funny- she walked into a concrete wall, knees first. Now, it was funny to my hubby because he always mocks that she is just as clumsy as her mama. It wasn't so funny to me because even though she didn't cry, she was left with a bloody knee. Now, if you remember being a kid, scraped up knees were just a part of growing up. Some may even say it's a sign that your child is actually having fun. My toddler ...
SAFE Fun in the Sun! (BabyGanics #Giveaway!)
Summer is officially here and the heat wave in NYC reflects that! With temperatures reaching almost 100, I chose to keep my toddler and newborn indoors, but there will be plenty of mild summer days that we will be able to enjoy. We've already planned trips to the aquarium and zoo, we are just waiting for the perfect day to go! With so many products on the market that promise to protect skin, it is difficult to choose the right one for your ...
Blue Light Therapy for Acne Treatment
I haven't had a clear complexion from the time I was 10. I would look at other's creamy smooth skin and be envious. Yes, even as a preteen, I noticed that other girls, and even boys had awesome skin and I didn't. I had visible pores, uneven skin tone and acne. Once I hit high school, the hardcore breakouts started and I had to see a dermatologist for my skin. While the dermatologist was able to clear up my acne, I was left with dry flaky skin as ...
It’s a Madagascar Movie Party! #ChildrensClaritinParty
Last week we had quite a few rainy days and stayed indoors. These are always perfect indoor playdate days for my toddler, but unfortunately we can't really schedule playdates on a whim, according to the weather. The good news is we already had a few friends over when our Madagascar party package arrived - so we had an impromptu Madagascar Movie showing with the first of the Madagascar Trilogy, and will be having another movie showing in the ...
