This Mother's Day celebrate the moms in your life with these simple but special must-haves.

Let’s start with a gift of pampering. With spring all about refreshing and renewal, beauty and skincare make great gifts for a mom who needs some self-care. We love Tree Hut - formulated with skin-loving ingredients and scents that make every routine feel like a treat, and a moment of pure pampering.

For a Mother’s Day gift that’s all about smooth, silky, moisturized skin, Tree Huthas a few must-haves she’ll love. It all starts with exfoliation. Tree Hut’s Shea Sugar Scrub gently buffs away dry skin, leaving it feeling soft, nourished, and ready to glow. To take her self-care routine even further, Tree Hut’s shave regimen is the ultimate upgrade. The new Pre-Shave Foaming Polish, infused with lactic acid, sweeps away impurities and preps skin for a smoother shave. Follow with the Moisturizing Shave Oil to keep skin hydrated and help prevent irritation while getting a super close shave. Finish with the After-Shave Serum to calm, refresh, and lock in softness. Bundle them together in a little gift basket, and you’ve got the perfect way to spoil mom this Mother’s Day. You can find them at Target, Walmart or Ulta.

Of course, what mom doesn’t love breakfast in bed, and dads too for that matter. Breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day and makes special memories, especially pancakes. Pearl Milling Company is our go-to. They are always inspiring families to stack up joyful moments with exciting twists on classic recipes.

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home for the season. One thing we are loving is Lysol’s new range of Lavender & Cotton Blossom scented products. They are a must-have to keep around the house. These products provide Lysol’s trusted disinfection, killing 99.9% of germs when used as directed, and leave your home smelling incredible with the refreshing scent of lavender.

The newest fragrance in the brand new day collection, Lavender & Cotton Blossom, is available in a suite of Lysol products to disinfect or clean every room in your home. It captures the scent of a lavender field, blending notes of lavender, jasmine, and violet with subtle hints of energizing apple, green pear, rich woody sandalwood, and white musk, reminiscent of cozy cotton blossoms. It embodies the spring season and is so refreshing.

One spring cleaning tip we love is to do a full refrigerator clean out. Start by throwing away anything that is past expiration or that you are no longer using. Don’t forget to clean the outside of your refrigerator too. The wipes and spray are a go-to for this because they make it so easy and are great for garbage cans, doorknobs, light switches, countertops and sinks.

Lysol Lavender & Cotton Blossom makes the whole process of spring cleaning more enjoyable and there’s no better feeling than a clean house with a fresh scent. So definitely pick these up, now available at major retailers.

Now spring is also the perfect time to finally check off those DIY projects you’ve been putting on hold. With longer days and warmer weather, it’s the ideal season to refresh your home for summer gatherings, and nothing transforms a space faster than a fresh coat of paint. But without the right tools, even simple updates can quickly turn into a hassle.

That’s why we are reaching for ScotchBlue PROSharp Painter's Tape with Edge-Lock Technology. Backed by over 100 years of Scotch Brand innovation, it’s designed for precision, powered by advanced Edge-Lock Technology and seals out paint for ultra-crisp, sharp lines – perfect for everyone, from first-time DIYers to experienced pros.

Designed for versatility and ease of use, it delivers two times better hold (than tape with original Edge-Lock Technology) and the sharpest paint lines yet in the ScotchBlue Painter's Tape portfolio. It’s a must-have for protecting a variety of indoor or outdoor surfaces like drywall, trim, wood, tile, and more. And the best part? It removes cleanly with no sticky residue, even after exposure to the sun.

It’s your go-to tool if you’re looking to get creative with accent walls, color block, or bold geometric designs that pop. Whether you’re refreshing a powder room or taking on a full renovation, this tape has you covered.

Pick it up at major retailers nationwide. Visit scotchblue.com to learn more.

Did you know that using SPF 15 or higher every day can reduce the risk of skin cancer by 50%, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation? Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Camille Howard-Verovic shares the importance of daily sun protection and the latest products to protect yourself and your family.

We know sun protection is important, but we also know that most people usually only think about sunscreen during the summer months. Sunscreen is often a last-minute thought, with 75% of SPF purchases being made for that day based on the weather or a specific event, according to CVS Consumer Insights.

However, sunburns can happen when you least expect them. UV rays are always present, even when inside or on a cold, rainy, or cloudy day, and can reflect off of snow, water and concrete, resulting in increased sun exposure. In fact, according to The Skin Cancer Foundation, 80% of UV rays can penetrate through the clouds. Additionally, some medications, including certain antibiotics and retinoids, can heighten your sensitivity to the sun, increasing the chances of burning.

With that said, daily application of sunscreen is one of the most effective ways to lower your risk of skin cancer especially in areas we often forget like the scalp, ears, feet and eyelids, also according to The Skin Cancer Foundation.

The good news is, CVS Pharmacy is right in your community and is making it easy to find SPF solutions that are right for you with a curated selection of head-to-toe suncare essentials that fit into any daily routine.

One of the doctor’s favorites is CVS Health’s Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen, which is a dermatologist-tested formula and great for acne-prone and sensitive skin. She also loves the Sun Bum Face + Body Stick with SPF 40, which is perfect for on-the-go protection, especially for those unexpected sunburn areas, like the tip of the ears. Finally, Vacation’s Classic Whip SPF 30 has a lighter-than-air texture and an award-winning scent that makes applying sunscreen so much fun.

We know CVS has made some bold moves to promote healthier beauty choices for consumers over the years. From being the first national retailer to remove all suncare products with an SPF below 15 from shelves to eliminating oxybenzone and octinoxate from all store brand sunscreen products, CVS has taken major steps to make healthy, whole-body beauty more personal, convenient, and accessible.

This year, CVS also partnered with L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty and other industry leaders to launch “Sun Responsibly,” a campaign promoting sun safety and encouraging daily sunscreen use. The initiative aims to combat misinformation about suncare and highlights the importance of year-round sun protection, including for skin cancer prevention.

Visit cvs.com/suncare to learn more about SPF use and explore the full range of CVS Pharmacy’s suncare products. Plus, be sure to sign up for CVS’ ExtraCare program to save while shopping SPF.

Every day, your life is affected by infrastructure – the roads you drive on, the bridges you cross, the water you drink, the rail the metro in our city runs on, or the runway your flight lands on are all examples of infrastructure. And contractors build the foundation for our future and the infrastructure that connects, powers and supports a growing world.

Louann Hausner, Global Manager, Marketing Communications at John Deere and Kevin Very, Director of Production Systems & Technology at John Deere were on the National Mall, in Washington, D.C. to talk about the importance of supporting our aging infrastructure and the need for investment in communities all over the country, as proper funding and maintenance is now more critical than ever.

John Deere is helping contractors achieve the fundamental need for smarter, safer, and more sustainable construction, like recycling to allow for on-site material reuse, which reduces environmental impact and lowers project costs.

Seasoned actress and Grammy Award-winning singer Tia Carrere burst onto the scene, captivating audiences as cool girl Cassandra Wong in the 1992 blockbuster Wayne's World.

The Honolulu-born beauty hasn’t stopped since starring in a slew of projects over the decades, from the Wayne’s World sequel and James Cameron’s True Lies alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis to TV shows such as Relic Hunter, Hawaii 5-0, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.

However, acting is far from her only forte. Her ethereal voice has scored her two Grammy Award wins and four nominations for Best Hawaiian Music Album. She has also paid homage to her Hawaiian roots, lending her vocal talents to the role of Nani Pelekai, Lilo's older sister, in the beloved 2002 animated film Lilo & Stitch, which takes place on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i.

More than 20 years later, she returns to the Lilo & Stitch franchise in the highly anticipated live-action version of the Disney fan favorite, this time playing social worker Mrs. Kekoa.

We heard all about the upcoming film and more when we caught up with Carrere, fresh from the Philippines, where she is filming her latest movie, the rom-com The Last Resort.

This is a LifeMinute with Tia Carrere.

He is the singer-songwriter behind one of the ’90s most romantic songs, “I’ll Be.” Edwin McCain’s 1997 hit climbed the Billboard Hot 100 charts and has been featured in several shows and movies over the past few decades.

Since then, the artist has released a total of 11 studio albums and has continued touring while raising his family. In the last few years, he has also gained viral success on TikTok.

The South Carolina native has expanded beyond music into television, producing and hosting Animal Planet’s Flippin’ Ships, and a satellite radio program on SiriusXM, Inside Music with Edwin McCain. Most recently, McCain performed for millions as "Nessy," the Loch Ness Monster, on The Masked Singer Season 13, capturing the hearts of a whole new generation.

Besides seeing him on TV, fans also got a brand-new album from the artist, his first in 15 years. His 11th studio album, Lucky, released earlier this year, was produced by country stars Lee Brice and Jerrod Niemann, and recorded at Brice’s Pump House Studios in Nashville. The album has a bit of a country feel, with the first two singles “(Don’t Go) Chasing a Memory” and “Lucky All the Time,” written for Edwin by Old Dominion and featuring a duet by Edwin and Old Dominion’s Matt Ramsey, with backing harmonies from the band and Rebecca Lynn Howard.

Fresh off tours with Hootie & the Blowfish, Collective Soul, and Lee Brice, McCain hits the road again this summer with Train. But first, he stopped by the LifeMinute Studios to tell us all about the new album and perform his biggest ballad, as well as a brand-new track, "When It Does."
