Elizabeth posted this in Breakfast, Reviews on October 18th, 2011 Did you know that almost 60% of U.S. parents of children ages 3-17 admit that their child skips breakfast and 58% of U.S. moms say they skip breakfast regularly? You can’t drive a car all day with no gas in the tank, and you can’t function at school or work all day with no breakfast in your tummy!
Even the busiest families have time for a healthy breakfast thanks to new Seneca Farms microwaveable Oatmeal & Fruit Cups. Available in individual cups or two-packs, Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit comes in four delicious varieties – Apple Cinnamon, Vanilla Peach, Cranberry Apple, and Maple & Brown Sugar. Pop the lid to vent, microwave for 45 seconds, and you have a warm, fast breakfast that kids and parents will love!
Seneca Farms sent me the Apple Cinnamon and Vanilla Peach two-packs to review. I like flavored oatmeal, and I like diced apples and diced peaches, so I was expecting to like the oatmeal, and I definitely do! The Apple Cinnamon has real chunks of apples, the Vanilla Peach has real chunks of peaches, the oats are big and chewy, and both are just delicious.
Each oatmeal and fruit cup has between 160-190 calories, no more than 1.5 grams of fat, 2 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of protein. I admit, I sometimes skip breakfast and just have coffee, but with the oatmeal & fruit cups on hand, I’m much more likely to eat!
Look here to locate a store that carries Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit cups near you!
Elizabeth posted this in Personal on October 17th, 2011 This fun, easy DIY at-home pumpkin mask was just featured in the October issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. Created by beauty guru and parenting expert Erika Katz (www.bondingoverbeauty.com), this mask is full of exfoliating enzymes that brighten the skin so it won’t look too “scary” this fall season.
Erika is a mother of two and the author of Bonding over Beauty, A Mother-Daughter Beauty Guide to Foster Self-Esteem, Confidence and Trust. Erika wrote this guide for mothers and teenagers because she realized that as young girls head toward the teen years, mothers suddenly seem out of touch. In this down-to-earth guide for moms of tweens, Erika Katz offers practical advice for building self-esteem, confidence, and trust by teaching moms how to open up a dialogue during the often awkward preteen and early teen years.
PUMPKIN FACE MASK RECIPE:
2 tsp canned pureed pumpkin
1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp heavy whipping cream
Mix all ingredients and apply to face. Leave on for 10 min and rinse.
HOW IT HELPS YOUR SKIN:
Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which is very healing to the skin and is essential to maintain and repair skin tissue. It also helps reduce lines and wrinkles. Honey is a humectant. The cream moisturizes and helps flaky skin.
I don’t know about you, but the ingredients sound like something I’d want to eat with a spoon!
