Goodbye Summer

Hi Beautiful,

I hope you enjoyed a fabulous Labor Day weekend, because now things are getting serious. It’s September, which means back to school and getting ready for all the holidays that are right around the corner and all the other craziness that life will throw at you.

This is an especially big year for me as my oldest son is a senior. A senior? Where did the time go? Not to mention I can’t possibly be old enough to have a son who is a senior in high school. What happened?

With the days getting shorter and schedules nuttier, I wanted to share one of my favorite salad recipes, Grape Salad. Along with being super easy and fast to make, it’s fat free, sugar free and super yummy.

Ingredients: 

• 16 oz fat free vanilla yogurt

• 1 small carton of fat free, sugar free vanilla pudding

• 1 regular carton of fat free Cool Whip

• 2 cups of green grapes (or an entire bag, which is what I use)

• 2-3 apples, peeled and cut up into pieces

• ½ cup chopped walnuts

Whip the first three ingredients together until smooth. Add fruit and nuts, stir and enjoy.

These are a must-have for creating stunning eye looks. The LWYA creamy eyeshadow sticks deliver intense, buildable color and long-lasting wear. Eight luscious shades in luxurious finishes glide seamlessly onto lids, staying crease-free and transfer-resistant. Use one, two or more to create looks from natural to bold.

Kim sat down with music royalty Kandi Burruss, whose self-made success story is truly inspirational. Kandi spilled the tea on how she continues to reinvent herself and stay ahead of the game … and she also drops some major wisdom about how to achieve your dreams.

A Grammy-winning artist, entrepreneur, Broadway producer, and beloved reality TV personality, Kandi rose from her early days as a member of the platinum-selling R&B group Xscape to transition into multifaceted roles across music, television, and business. With a career spanning decades, she has garnered acclaim for her musical talents and her astute entrepreneurial endeavors—and she’s definitely a great source of inspiration and information for those of us who know we’re out to achieve big things. 

From a cosmetics line to television shows and Broadway productions to restaurants, Kandi has created several different successful ventures. 

She hit it big when her music group, Xscape, blew up—and she was only 16 when they signed their deal. She said she didn’t want to end up as a child star who ends up a broke adult, so she was constantly considering how she’d maintain her lifestyle.
