Easily the best Valentine’s Day gift I ever gave James was an appointment to get his teeth professionally whitened. As someone who did not take care of his teeth in his teens and has coffee stains deeper than the Mariana Trench, one visit to Dr. Veytsman’s office and she was able to take his smile 3-4 shades whiter in a mere hour. Being self conscious about your teeth is pretty much the worst and in the case of stains is highly correctable. As a top New York City dentist, Dr. Veytsman understands the importance of a white, bright smile. She was a delight to be in the room with and offers the most advanced whitening options to banish stains and yellowing. I had the best time watching James’ teeth-over. Here’s everything you need

vaseline-tinsSince the new year, I’ve featured a weekly wellness/workout post, and for this weeks installment I thought I would share what’s in my workout bag — with a very special edition that you can now get in the US!

For all of you that have been following me for a while, you know how much I love the Vaseline Lip Therapy Tins. You saw me stock up on them in September when I was in UK (where they have previously been exclusive to) and freak out in excitement when rumors were floating around in December that they would be launching in the US soon. Well my friends, they are finally here! And available in all four flavors we’ve seen abroad: Original, Aloe, Shea Butter and Rosy Lips.

It’s a major Throwback Thursday this week thanks to our friends at Galderma who invited us in for a total mom makeover recreating one of our favorite shots of our moms. As the global skin health and dermatology experts at Galderma know, our mother’s passes down a predisposition to age like them. But that’s rarely talked about. The point of the event was to spark a conversation around taking care of your skin and being proactive about anti-aging.

While we may all have access to the same skincare and treatments we do not so when it comes to our genes. Here are some interesting stats they put together:
