    Barilla Restaurants Help New Yorkers Maintain a Balanced Lifestyle with 7-Day Menu

    The name Barilla is synonymous with pasta and Italian cuisine, but you might be unaware that the historic pastamaker has recently opened three fast casual restaurants in New York City, with a fourth slated to open in July 2017.

    The restaurants, located around Herald Square, Bryant Park, Radio City Music Hall and the Financial District (July) offer a wide variety of traditional and authentic Italian cuisine. The menu spans everything from salads and soups to pizza and pasta, with delicious desserts and Lavazza coffee.

    Barilla Restaurants introduced the 7 Days a Week Menu this year, which was developed by its Food & Nutrition Research Center in Italy. The menu provides customers with quality dishes made from the same authentic recipes that Italians cook with every day. The result is food that is both good for you and good for the planet.

    The menu provides the guidelines on how to maintain a healthy but hearty diet through an enlightened balance of freshly made, quality meals. The menu is based on a restructured food pyramid that emphasizes fruit, vegetables, whole grain pasta and bread, fish, and olive oil, while limiting eggs, dairy, meat and sweets.

    The Barilla philosophy is essentially very simple, there is no need to diet or cut out certain foods as long as you eat smart and stay informed about the ingredients in your food.

    Iced Tea Mocktail Tips from Yvette Marquez + Vive Mejor

    Vive Mejor has partnered with blogger and cookbook author Yvette Marquez of Muy Bueno Cookbook just in time to share tips for the perfect Lipton® unsweetened iced tea “mocktails” to serve at your Memorial Day cookout! Lipton unsweetened iced tea is a great-tasting and naturally refreshing alternative to water, and Yvette’s tips below will inspire you to put your own twist on it.

    1. Lipton Green Tea paletas (popsicles) taste like sweet tea on a stick and are very refreshing, especially on a sweltering hot day. They’re the easiest pops you’ll ever make. Adding chunks of fresh fruit like mango or pineapple inside popsicle molds makes them that much better.
    2. Serve Lipton Black Tea with fresh herbs like mint or basil and slices of lemons and oranges to create a unique and refreshing drink your family will enjoy.
    3. In a large carafe combine Lipton Iced Tea with freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, and a splash of club soda with floating slices of lemons and oranges for a fun mocktail perfect for summer.
    4. Brew Lipton Berry Hibiscus Tea and use it to make ice cubes. Plop your pretty ice cubes in sparling water for a pretty pink hue with a hint of berry flavor.
    5. BONUS: Instead of throwing away your used Lipton Tea bags, open them up and sprinkle the damp leaves around the base of plants to fertilize the soil. You can also add previously brewed tea bags to your compost pile.

    Best Summer Skin Care Products

    1. PCA SKIN Sheer Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 45 ($49;PCASKIN.com)

    This light, silky broad spectrum sunscreen is formulated with a universal tint, to match most skin tones. Added antioxidant protection and water resistant makes this the perfect sunscreen for a glow. Use it alone or wear it under makeup for a flawless finish.

    • Tested to protect the skin for 80 minutes in water or while sweating
    • Protects against aging UVA rays and burning UVB rays
    • Purely physical formula: Titanium Dioxide (6%) and Zinc Oxide (8%) provide broad spectrum UV protection by reflecting, scattering and absorbing UV rays

    Key Ingredients:

    Ubiquinone (CoEnzyme Q10) – a potent antioxidant that fights free-radical damage. This is especially useful, as UV exposure generates free radicals in the skin.

    Iron Oxides – can be naturally occurring or synthesized and are commonly used to impart natural color into topical products.

    Dimethicone – a silicone that contributes to the luxurious slip and finish of this tinted SPF.

    What I thought: This actually went on very smoothly and created a easy morning routine with SPF. I liked that the scent is very mild and it was able to smooth out pores and imperfections. 

    Paula’s Choice introduces NEW RESIST Omega+ Complex ($36, available tomorrow on PaulasChoice.com). Light in texture but heavy on beautiful results, this serum hydrates, rejuvenates, and softens skin from the first use.

    Additionally, RESIST Omega+ Complex is formulated with a specially selected combination of essential omega fatty acids – including chia, flax and passion flower – designed to strengthen skin’s moisture barrier and help fight environmental damage and signs of aging.

    What I thought: I have been looking for a serum to use with my daily night routine and Paula’s Choice Skincare has the ingredients I am looking for. With the dryness of the Las Vegas desert and summer approaching, I use this product every single night!
