He’s a legend, a gentleman, and loved by all who know him in the entertainment industry. After six decades of wowing fans around the globe, singer, songwriter, and master entertainer Tony Orlando has recently hung up his live performance hat. A retirement? Heck no. The icon is just putting the brakes on touring but has big plans in the works to exercise his impeccable writing chops. And you can still hear him on Saturday nights as he currently hosts his own radio show on 77 WABC.

The Grammy nominee has sold millions of records, including five that hit #1: “Tie A Yellow Ribbon ‘Round The Ole Oak Tree,” a timeless anthem for our soldiers, veterans, and any loved one coming home; “Knock Three Times,” “Candida,” “My Sweet Gypsy Rose,” and “He Don’t Love You (Like I Love You).” He has two Platinum and three Gold albums and 15 Top 40 Hits. He was inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center last year and was the first vocal pop artist to sign with Epic Records and hit the national music charts in 1961.

He’s an author, has acted in movies (was hysterical in Adam Sandler’s That’s My Boy) and on Broadway, and was a music exec for Clive Davis repping everyone from James Taylor, Laura Nyro, and Blood Sweat & Tears to signing and producing Barry Manilow’s first recording. Of course, he also hosted the hugely popular variety show Tony Orlando and Dawn in the 70s.

He has been honored several times with lifetime achievement awards for his contributions to the industry, his enormous charitable efforts to support our veterans, and for 33 years served as cohost of the muscular dystrophy telethon helping to raise millions of dollars to find a cure for muscular dystrophy.

We were so fortunate to have him grace the LifeMinute Studios last month, just before his 80th birthday, to celebrate a remarkable career, but even more, celebrate a remarkable human being. This is a LifeMinute with the incomparable Tony Orlando.

As we embrace the sunny days ahead this spring, not only do we need to protect our skin with sunscreen, but we also need to protect our hair from the UV rays – especially for those of us that have color treated hair. The sun’s UV rays can really cause the color to fade, so in order to help prevent that try adding the new Herbal Essences Pure Grapeseed Color Nurture Shampoo and Conditioner into your every day spring hair care routine. Grapeseed extract is nature’s secret color keeper, rich in protective antioxidants, which help prevent UV induced color fade.

Both the shampoo and conditioner are made with grapeseeds that are a byproduct from the wine making process in the sun-drenched vineyards of France and each bottle contains the seeds of up to 86 grapes.

They deliver up to four more weeks of truly vibrant, protected color while leaving hair cleansed, healthy and smooth. It’s powered by nature, the other star ingredients are camellia oil and pure aloe, to help give you deep nourishment but without the weigh down, so your hair feels surprisingly lightweight.

The best part, they sell for just $9.99 each. You can find them at all major retailers. Herbal Essences Grapeseed joins 11 new collections for the brand, including apricot oil for curly hair, hemp oil for frizz, honey for moisture, and a ton more.

Hair DOs for Spring

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that is primarily caused by sun exposure, so everyone is at risk. It’s so common, that nearly 5 million Americans are treated every year. In fact, more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the U.S. than all other cancers combined. The good news is it’s preventable, that’s why Dr. Nkem Ugonabo partnered with Neutrogena to spread the word. For years, Neutrogena has been committed to supporting sun safety and providing sunscreen solutions for all as a preventative measure for skin cancer.

In honor of Melanoma Awareness Month this May and Melanoma Awareness Day on May 6, Neutrogena is proud to share it has donated over 1 million dollars to the Melanoma Research Foundation over their 7-year relationship. And what we love about the brand, is that they make it super easy to choose the sunscreen that works best for specific needs, so you actually use it every day.

What are some common myths and misconceptions around sunscreen? The first, is thinking that because there is SPF in your makeup, you don’t need to wear sunscreen. Unfortunately, the SPF in makeup isn’t enough to limit the harmful effects of UV-Rays. If you’re looking for an SPF that works well under makeup, try the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Face Serum SPF 60+, a weightless serum that protects, hydrates and primes skin for makeup in one step.

The second myth is thinking that if you have dark skin, you don’t need to wear sunscreen. Everyone is at risk for melanoma, so regardless of your skin color, you need to wear sunscreen. A great option is Neutrogena’s Invisible Daily Defense Face Serum SPF 60+. This sunscreen helps fight against environmental aggressors like ozone and pollution while hydrating skin.

The last myth is thinking that you don’t need sunscreen if it’s cloudy or cold. Every day is “sun” day.  Wearing sunscreen every day is the best way to prevent skin cancer. It’s best to look for sunscreen labels that say, “broad spectrum” and always wear an SPF 30 or higher. A great option is Neutrogena’s new Invisible Daily Defense Mineral Face Liquid SPF 30 which provides 100% mineral active protection with a smooth and lightweight finish.

What are some other healthy habits that you can incorporate into your lifestyle to reduce the risk of skin cancer? In addition to wearing sunscreen, avoid being out in the sun during peak hours. The sun’s rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you’re spending extended periods of time outside, it’s best to seek shade (for example, under an umbrella). It’s also important to cover up with protective clothing, such as a hat and sunglasses when you can. Lastly, make sure to see your friendly dermatologist for an annual skin cancer screening and mole check.

Mother’s Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate all the incredible and strong mothers in your life and show them some love. Here’s some special buys she’s sure to enjoy.

First, let’s start with the gift of some great hair– Pantene has this beautiful collection that makes a great gift, that you can get right at BJ's Wholesale Club. It’s their Miracle Moisture Boost Shampoo and Conditioner. It’s made with pro vitamin B5, antioxidants and special rose water, that’s literally derived from the petals and buds of the rosa gallica plant and creates this rich rose water lather so its super hydrating on parched locks. It tames frizz and leaves hair really soft and smooth…even dry, rough hair, and makes it strong and healthy. Plus, it smells delicious – and just transforms not only your hair, but your entire shower experience into some mini self-care time. This duo offers clean hair repair without a $60 price-tag  and is def cheaper than a spa day.

To keep that spa-like experience going, try Tree Hut’s moisturizing body lotions that just take you on a tropical vacation, coming in scents Moroccan Rose, Coco Colada, Watermelon, and Pink Hibiscus and they are amazing on your skin. Packed with shea butter, ceramides, squalane and a fruit oil blend. They are super nourishing and just melt into the skin, and are made to reinforce the skin barrier, and last a long time, plus make your skin radiant and glowing. Get them right at Target for $8.99.

In addition to these things that make mom feel relaxed and rejuvenated, the restaurant Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux, is doing something to honor the “family coach” in the same vein – calling a “time out” for them! Like athletes, we know that a ‘recovery day’ is vital to relax and recharge. And since 58% of moms report they want some alone time this Mother’s Day, and 62% say they get less than an hour to themselves each day, the brand is celebrating moms by encouraging this restorative break. To make the day even sweeter, all moms will enjoy a free dessert —from doughnut bread pudding made with Krispy Kreme doughnuts, to beignet bites, or a warm cookie sundae – whether they dine in with the fam or the fam takes it to go back to the house for mom! They will also get a gift card for a future date night without the kids because we all know that parenting is a ‘team sport.’ Check out walk-ons.com for a restaurant near you.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, and 90% of those cancers are melanoma, the deadliest type. But the good news is it is treatable if detected early. In fact, the five-year survival rate is 99%.

On a mission to spread that message, longtime leaders in sun protection, skincare brand La Roche-Posay in partnership with TDS, the dermatologist specialists of New York City were offering free head to toe skin cancer screenings to the public.

The brand says they’ve helped facilitate more than half a million skin exams by board certified dermatologists over the last ten years. Events like these, they say, help provide access to someone who may not visit a dermatologist regularly or have access to one. 

The team says more than 90% of skin cancers are caused by sun exposure and the sun’s harmful rays can penetrate even through glass, so that means no matter where you are or what you’re doing, if you’re exposed to sunlight you need to protect your skin and remember – every day is a sunscreen day.

Summer is almost here and we are talking the hottest DIY nail and lash trends with two of the most sought-after pros.

So what trends are we seeing for summer 2024? Well, it's all about the eyes and of course no look is complete without a full set of lashes.

They have this exclusive design with self-stick technology for a quick and easy application that lasts for 24 hours with no mess and they’re mistake-proof. They’re easy to remove too and don’t leave sticky residue, they won't harm your natural lash either which is major.

Next up, let's talk nails! Tom has partnered with imPRESS, making A-lister mani and pedi trends achievable at-home. He says press-on nails for hands and feet are the perfect summer fashion accessory and the way to get a perfect mani and pedi—fast, easy all by yourself at home. imPRESS Press-On Nails, like the lashes—require no glue and come with pre-applied patented super hold adhesive that lasts for up to 7-days.

Spring’s Hottest Nail and Lash Trends

Watch the video: https://lifeminute.tv/beauty/video/how-make-sure-youre-getting-real-deal-botox-cosmetic

Over the last two decades, BOTOX Cosmetic has become a household name—making it the number one selling product of its kind, the one approved to temporarily make moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet lines and frown lines look better in adults. But people may forget, it is a medical procedure.

Many people are interested in learning more about getting treated and there is only one BOTOX Cosmetic, but how do you know you’re getting the real BOTOX Cosmetic? This FDA approved one-of-a-kind formulation through its manufacturing process and scientific rigor can temporarily improve the look of three areas—moderate to severe frown lines, crow's feet lines, and forehead lines in adults.

Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Henry teamed up with Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company–the makers of BOTOX Cosmetic, and the only authorized suppliers of BOTOX Cosmetic in the US–to show us how to ensure product safety, quality, and efficacy.

What happens in many cases is people use the word ‘Botox’ ubiquitously, not specifically for BOTOX Cosmetic. The FDA has stated BOTOX Cosmetic is “not interchangeable,” which means that its safety and effectiveness cannot be claimed by any other product. There are no substitutes for BOTOX Cosmetic. Potential flags to look out for: significantly discounted product may indicate it’s not the real deal, supplier claims their product is “equivalent to BOTOX Cosmetic” or “approved in another country,” and lastly, if it feels too good to be true, it may be.

It’s extremely important to only go to medical professionals who are licensed and trained to provide aesthetic treatments both for safety and to help you achieve your desired outcomes. To find a licensed provider near you, who is purchasing BOTOX Cosmetic from Allergan Aesthetics, visit Alle.com.
