    Living in the New York

    Metropolitan Area is like

    living in one big adver-

    tisement. Voices from every

    corner scream at you telling you

    to go here, buy this, and dothat. Wouldnt it be easier if

    there was a centerpoint for all

    the madness? Life and Leisure

    is now offering readers the

    opportunity to become a part of

    a new social community

    through its new multimedia

    effort. Springing from its newly

    reformed website, a Life and

    Leisure Facebook page will

    become the central location for

    community announcements,local reviews, and exclusive

    offers only available to fans.

    Advertisers will post several

    weekly specials on the page that

    are found nowhere else online

    or in print!

    Over the past few years

    Social Media has taken its place

    as a cornerstone of modern

    society. It influences not only

    how we communicate with

    friends, but has transformed

    into a medium by which con-

    sumers and distributors caninteract in a casual comfort-

    able way. Businesses have the

    opportunity to reach out to

    their client base directly

    through Facebook, Twitter,

    and other social media vehi-

    cles by posts and media that are

    easily accessed and give a face

    to the brand. Consumers, on

    the other hand, are given the

    stage to offer feedback and pro-

    vide raw insights that are other-wise difficult for businesses to

    access. Truly it is an arrange-

    ment that thoroughly benefits

    both parties.

    Remember as a child,

    throwing a ball as

    high in the air as you

    could, knowing that in a few

    seconds it would return tothe earth? Do you recollect

    watching a fireworks display

    and the residue after the

    explosions falling back down

    to the ground around you?

    Perhaps youve been a victim

    of the droppings of a bird fly-

    ing by? Maybe you were a

    shareholder in Lucent or

    Enron or some other

    stock or mutual fund

    when you were reminded

    of Newtons law of gravi-

    ty. Readers, stock

    prices cannot defy gravi-

    ty any more than a base-

    ball thrown into the air.

    Everything created has a

    life cycle. Born, grow,

    prosper, retire and die.

    Think about Kodak,

    Mack Truck or

    Woolworths for a moment,

    once leaders in their respec-

    tive fields and now basically

    no more than a faint memo-

    ry. At one time, railroadstocks ruled Wall Street dur-

    ing the Industrial Revolution

    and for decades later. Today,

    the stock certificates of those

    behemoths, instead of being

    the talk of Wall Street are

    used as decorations and wall-

    paper memorializing a

    bygone era. Just like people,

    companies and their stocks

    have different mortality rates

    and qualities of life. It isimportant to remember that

    nothing in life or the life of a

    company is status-quo,

    except for death. Death by

    merger, death by take-over,

    death by bad decisions, death

    by superior competition,

    death by obsolescence or by

    sale; its all the same in the

    end, the shareholders usually

    take a bath.

    At least with mutualfunds, there is someone or

    some group leading the port-

    folio who can buy and sell

    holdings or stay on top of

    changes in companies or

    industries to navigate the

    waters, nimbly making

    changes, additions or dele-

    tions as the companies with-

    in their portfolio react to the

    never ending news feed

    called the internet! Why goat it alone, when you can

    hire the brightest and best,

    most talented fund managers

    in the nation to get a fight-

    ing chance at beating the

    odds to prolong the longevity

    of your portfolio and retire-

    ment nest-egg for the rest of

    your life and beyond? The

    only way I can think to make

    the outcome better is to guar-

    antee* the results throughthe purchase of a variable

    annuity with a living benefit

    rider!

    A living benefit rider

    enables the investor to guar-

    antee* a monthly income for

    as long as they and their

    spouse live, regardless of how

    low the account value may

    fall, even if it drops to zero! If

    the account rises because of

    positive performance, therider will lock-in and reset

    the withdrawal base to either

    the highest monthly, quarter-

    ly or annual anniversary

    (depending on the individual

    contract and company).

    This new figure will result in

    a higher income check, also

    guaranteed* for the rest of

    your and your spouses life!

    Therefore, could one say

    that a variable annuityincluding a living benefit

    rider, with the portfolio allo-

    cated to stock and or bond

    funds, could actually defy

    gravity as it pertains to life-

    long retirement income? The

    answer is a resounding Yes!

    In my opinion it is impera-

    tive that everyone be aware

    of their investment options

    to include the one discussed

    here. Want to know more?Call me for a no cost,

    no obligation appointment.

    Youll leave empowered with

    the knowledge and motiva-

    tion to take appropriate

    action with your retirement

    funds!

    We are now entering

    a new era of health.

    The mouth is defi-

    nitely connected to the rest of

    our body, from an anatomic

    and medical standpoint. The

    last two articles gave numerous,

    viable connections between

    oral and body health. In thefuture, there will be even more

    evidence of interrelationships

    to medical issues. Total patient

    care will soon be real for den-

    tists and physicians. Here are

    some tests just emerging for

    dentists to perform:

    A1C levels of diabetic

    patients

    Lp-PLA2 levels of

    cardiovascular patientsAdvanced blood panels

    with preventative cardiology

    AHI and RDI levels

    of obstructive sleep apnea

    patients (AHI stands for

    Apnea-Hypopnea Index.

    Respiratory Disturbance

    Fathers Day is a

    special celebra-

    tion where we

    take time to honor the

    patriarchs of our fami-lies. We reflect on the

    sacrifices that our

    fathers have made as

    well as the commit-

    ments they have prom-

    ised to us.

    Unfortunately, we

    dont always show our

    fathers the respect they

    deserve despite the

    numerous contribu-

    tions they have madeto support their fami-

    lies. Fathers Day gives

    us that opportunity to

    honor our dads and

    show them how grateful we

    are to have them in our lives

    and how much we truly love

    them.

    Our fathers not only pro-

    vide our material needs, but

    they also teach us many things

    throughout life whether thatis a set of skills, learning how

    to play a sport, change a tire,

    apply for a job; the list goes on

    and on. Dads not only provide

    us with material gain, howev-

    er, they also can provide much

    more. For example, I look at

    my own father and see what

    he has taught me throughout

    my life. I have been very for-

    tunate to have such a wonder-ful father who has dedicated

    so much time and work to

    benefit my family and me so

    that we could live the

    life that we currently

    have.

    The first thing he

    has taught me is familyalways comes first. My

    dad has always made

    time for his family. He

    also taught us to always

    make time for each

    other. Growing up my

    dad would set aside time

    for us to be together as

    family whether that be

    through family dinners,

    a weekly family night,

    summer vacations, orSunday afternoon

    adventures. Through

    spending these little

    times with us, my dad

    was constantly involved in our

    lives. I know that today, a lot

    of families do not get to expe-

    rience this privilege, but I am

    so grateful that my dad has

    taken the time to keep our

    family together. Because of

    this, we are a close-knit, loyal,and loving family.

    15, 14, 13, 12 Students

    are counting down the

    days to the end of

    school; even though the

    school year is coming to a

    close and summer is begin-

    ning, learning must not take

    a vacation. Two months is

    too long for education and

    learning to take a break.

    Summer vacation is great for

    our bodies, but we must con-

    tinue to push and challenge

    our minds to best be prepared

    for the upcoming school

    years and what lies ahead.

    During the college

    admission process only the

    top performers and appli-

    cants gain entry into your

    childs chosen institution of

    higher learning. The deci-

    sion and habits you and your

    children make today pertain-

    ing to not only their educa-

    tion, but also how they study,

    will either curse or bless

    them for the rest of their

    lives. Our mission at Brainy-

    Acts is to prepare your

    child academically for their

    future and the world that

    awaits them.

    It has often been said

    that knowledge is power,

    however, Brainy-Acts

    believes in the 7P's: Proper

    Prior Planning Prevents Poor

    Performance Period.

    Through the preparedness,

    structure and reinforcement

    of basic and advanced learn-

    ing skills along with the

    techniques of the Brainy-

    Acts teachers, tutors and

    mentors, your child will have

    an expert to guide and define

    their talents, abilities, and

    strengths, placing them firm-

    ly on the road to prosperity

    and success. Brainy-Acts

    my dad taught me is family

    requires sacrifice. Although I

    did not learn to appreciate it

    until I was older, I learned how

    many sacrifices my dad made

    so that he could be involved

    in my siblings lives and mine.

    Job opportunities, increased

    income, etc. are just some of

    the benefits my dad passed up

    so that he could be there for

    his wife and kids. Even grow-

    ing up my siblings and I were

    asked to forfeit our own time

    whether that be personal time

    or time with our friends so

    that we could make time for

    our family. I believe this lesson

    is one of the most important

    ones because not only did our

    Dad make sacrifices, but all of

    us had to as well. My dad was

    just the one who set the exam-

    ple by giving up so much more

    Your skin is the largest

    organ of your body. It

    protects you from

    harmful bacteria and viruses

    that can cause infections. It

    also helps your body sense

    the outside world and regu-

    late your body temperature.

    Therefore, it should

    come as no surprise that bil-

    lions of dollars are spent each

    year on skin care products

    and billions more are spent

    on medical costs to treat

    damaged skin. From powders

    and lotions to sunscreens and

    firming creams, caring for

    your skin is a necessity

    throughout your lifetime.

    From infancy to adulthood,

    proper skin care can help

    ensure healthy skin through-

    out your life.

    As we grow older, our

    bodies produce less moisture,

    drying out the skin,

    which then begins

    to lose its elasticity

    and its ability to

    protect the rest of

    the body. For many

    people, looking after

    the skin is not only

    a question of aes-

    thetics, but it is also

    essential for ones

    health and well-

    being. Conditions

    that stress, clog or

    inflame your skin

    can cause symptoms

    such as redness,

    swelling, burning,

    and itching. Aller-

    gies, irritants, genet-

    ic makeup, certain

    diseases, and im-

    mune system disor-

    ders can cause der-

    matitis, hives and

    other skin conditions.

    Columbia Healing

    Cream has been devel-

    oped by dermatologists

    to help people of all

    ages naturally maintain

    the proper balance of

    moisture in their skin.

    emollients with the

    latest technology,

    Columbia Healing

    Cream comforts and

    softens the skin while

    cracking, dryness and

    itching. The unique

    combination of botani-

    cals, vitamins and min-

    erals in this product

    protect and soothe the

    skin, while stimulating

    the growth of new cells

    to bring back younger

    looking skin.

    Manufactured in the

    United States by a 140-plus

    year old skin care products

    company, Columbia Healing

    the most sensitive skin,

    Summer and the warm

    weather are just about

    here. It's time to get off

    our couches and venture into

    the great outdoors. These

    plans will often include your

    furry, four-legged friends.

    However, dogs and cats can

    suffer from hot weather prob-

    lems similar to those of the

    human- like enduring the

    heat, bugs and allergies. As it

    gets hotter, it is important to

    take some simple precautions

    to keep our pets healthy and

    safe from the hazards that

    accompany summer.

    Heat stroke is a very seri-

    ous and very common occur-

    rence during the summer

    months and results when your

    pet's body temperature rises

    above the normal range. Heat

    stroke can be a life-threaten-

    ing disease, can afflict dogs or

    cats quite rapidly and be diffi-

    cult to treat. A little preven-

    tion can go a long way.

    Certain pets may be predis-

    posed to this condition such as

    brachycephalic breeds (i.e.

    pushed in nose) like a Bulldog

    or Persian cat, overweight

    pets, very young and very old

    pets or ill pets. Heat strokes

    occur a lot in late spring and

    early summer because our pets

    are out of shape and are not

    yet acclimated to the hot

    weather. Therefore, introduce

    pets to exercise slowly. Also,

    try to exercise pets in the

    morning or evening when

    temperatures are lower. Be

    sure to provide your pet with

    plenty of breaks for water and

    time to cool down in the

    shade.

    There are many ways to

    avoid heat stroke. The most

    known adage is to never leave

    a pet in the car on warm days.

    Even with the windows open,

    temperatures in a car can rise

    to deadly levels within min-

    utes. Dogs and cats dont sweat

    the same way we do. They

    thermo-regulate mostly by

    panting and can sweat mini-

    mally through the bottom of

    their feet. One of the easiest

    preventative measures is to

    make sure that pets have free

    access to water and shade

    when kept outside.

    Early signs of heat stroke

    may include rapid panting,

    heavy breathing, excessive

    salivation, increased body

    temperature (i.e. above 100-

    102 degrees F), depression,

    weakness, and vomiting. If you

    suspect that heat stroke is tak-

    ing place, seek immediate vet-

    erinary attention. In the

    meantime, you should remove

    the animal from the hot area

    and start lowering your pets

    body temperature. This

    shouldn't be done too quickly,

    which can also be dangerous.

    Therefore only use cool water,

    NO ice. An easy remedy is to

    place cool water soaked T-

    shirt on your pet and take

    them right to your veterinari-

    an. Aside from heat stroke,

    more outdoor activities mean

    the risk of outdoor traumas

    and increased accidents. Some

    tips include: not leaving pets

    unsupervised around a pool,

    make sure all pets wear flota-

    tion devices on boats, and try

    not to let your dog drink pool

    water, which contains chemi-

    cals that could cause

    stomach upset.

    Cats that are

    allowed outdoors also

    venture out more in

    the summer. Be on the

    lookout for abscesses

    and other fighting

    injuries. Cats that are

    neutered or spayed may be at a

    lower risk of such injuries as

    they are unlikely to be

    involved in mating-induced

    aggression. The best way to

    avoid these injuries is to keep

    your cat indoors.

    The warmer months also

    means more bugs. Fleas are a

    common pest that live off the

    blood of their hosts and can

    cause itching, or worse, an

    allergic reaction called flea-

    bite dermatitis. Fleas can also

    be carriers for an intestinal

    parasite called tapeworms.

    Mosquitoes are another pest

    that may carry heartworms,

    which can be life threatening

    to your dog and cat. More trips

    to the dog park can also

    increase exposure to infected

    soil and intestinal parasites,

    some of which are transmissi-

    ble to people (zoonotic). In

    North Jersey, we cant forget

    about ticks that can carry a

    variety of diseases, most

    notably Lyme disease.

    Preventatives for fleas, ticks,

    heartworms and intestinal par-

    asites are available from your

    veterinarian and should be

    given year-round. The benefits

    of prevention far outweigh the

    nuisance and health hazards

    for your pet and to us as well.

    Another summer risk for

    cats that live in apartment

    buildings or in homes with a

    second floor is high-rise syn-

    drome. This is the unfortunate

    scenario of us wanting to open

    windows in the nice weather

    and cats falling out of them.

    My dad has taught me

    many great things growing up

    which I hope to one day put

    into practice myself. What he

    has passed down to me are life

    lessons that ultimately repre-

    sent what being a father is all

    about.

    Unfortunately, many of us

    have not had the best relation-

    ships with our fathers; some of

    us have no relationship what-

    soever. Fathers Day can be one

    of the most depressing days of

    the year for some people. Even

    though our Dads may have

    failed us in some way or anoth-

    er, there has most likely been

    someone else who stepped in

    and filled that father figure

    role. We may not have even

    realized this at the time, but

    looking back, most of us can

    see men who have stepped in

    where fathers failed to,

    whether it has been a short-

    term or long-term relationship.

    Although they may not be our

    biological dads, Fathers Day is

    also a way to commemorate

    these men as well who have

    been like a father to us in spe-

    cific areas in our lives.

    So as we celebrate this

    Fathers Day, let us remember

    all the things our fathers have

    done for us whether great or

    small. Let us honor and show

    respect to the men who have

    supported our families and

    have taught us invaluable les-

    sons that they passed down as

    part of their legacy which we

    too can hopefully one day pass

    on to our children.

    Rising fuel costs and asuspect economy has

    forced many home-

    owners to look for ways to cut

    costs around the house.

    Conserving energy is one way

    to do just that. And in addi-

    tion to saving money, con-

    serving energy also helps save

    the planet.

    Though preserving ener-

    gy around the house might

    sound difficult, it's actuallyquite easy, and you don't have

    to sacrifice comfort to con-

    serve. The following are a few

    ways to conserve energy

    around the house and help

    your bottom line and the

    planet at the same time.

    Cool it with the hot water.

    Heating water for the home

    accounts for a significant per-

    centage of your monthly utili-

    ty bill. But many homeowners

    might not know just how sim-ple it can be to reduce the

    costs of heating the water.

    You can trim between 3 to 5

    percent off your utility bill for

    every 10 degrees you dial

    down the thermostat on your

    water heater. A water heater

    set in the range of 130 F won't

    require as much energy to

    heat and hold water as one set

    around 140 F or above, and a

    setting of 130 F is enough toprevent bacteria from growing

    within the tank and still pro-

    vide water that's hot enough

    for a shower or bath. A water

    heater set around 130 F might

    also extend the life of the

    tank. That's because chemical

    reactions speed up in tanks

    that are hotter, accelerating

    the buildup of rust within the

    tank.

    Install a digital thermostat.

    A digital thermostat makes iteasy for homeowners to auto-

    matically turn down their

    thermostats during times of

    the day when no one is home.

    The thermostats can be pro-

    grammed to turn up the heat

    shortly before you typically

    arrive home, so you won't beforced to sit in a cold house

    when you get home, nor will

    you be forced to pay to heat a

    home while no one is there.

    The thermostat can also be

    set in the summer to allow the

    temperature in the home to

    rise without automaticallytriggering the air condition-

    ing. When shopping for a dig-

    ital thermostat, be sure to

    purchase one that is compati-

    ble with your HVAC system.

    Otherwise, the thermostat

    might not work properly.

    Turn off the lights (andchange the bulbs!). Perhaps

    the simplest way to conserve

    energy around the house is to

    turn off the lights in empty

    rooms. It's easy for all resi-

    dents of a home to turn on a

    light when entering a room,only to leave that room but

    keep the lights on. But elec-

    tricity used for lighting can

    constitute as much as 10 per-

    cent of a monthly utility bill.

    How much of that electricity

    is being used to illuminate

    empty rooms? Get in the

    habit of turning lights off

    whenever you leave a room.

    Though the savings here

    might not be substantial,

    turning off the lights will help

    conserve energy.In addition to turning off

    the lights, be sure to use com-

    pact fluorescent light bulbs,

    or CFLs, instead of traditional

    incandescent bulbs. CFLs

    consume less energy, don't

    give off nearly as much heat

    as incandescent bulbs and can

    last as long as 10,000 hours,

    which is roughly 10 times as

    long as the best incandescent

    bulb.

    Make use of nature.

    Homeowners can also employtheir landscape to help con-

    serve energy around the

    house. A strategically planted

    tree, for example, can shade a

    room that is exposed to the

    sun throughout the day. That

    shade can make it cooler

    inside the home, allowing res-

    idents to stay cool inside

    without having to rely too

    heavily on their air condi-

    tioning unit. During the win-ter months, open the curtains

    during the day to allow sun-

    shine in, naturally adding a

    few degrees to the home so

    you won't have to crank the

    temperature on the thermo-

    stat. Homeowners hoping to

    conserve energy around the

    house can do so in a number

    of ways without having to sac-

    rifice comfort or luxury.

    In my world, salad isnt

    food. Salad comes with the

    food. As comedian John

    Pinette puts it, salad is a

    promissory note that food will

    soon arrive. When I seesalad, my most primal instinct

    tells me that something good

    is about to happen, but has

    not happened yet. Having

    said that, walking up to a

    restaurant called Saladworks

    Caf made me wonder how

    full of a belly I would leave

    with when all was said and

    done.

    To make a long story

    short, I was wrong. Salad isfood and I left stuffed.

    But lets back up. The

    caf-style establishment offers

    the comfortable ambiance

    required for a nice meal as it

    simultaneously emanates a

    young fast-paced vibe; veryconducive to the style of food

    served. As we took our seats

    we were greeted by owner

    Vinod Kapoor who indicated

    that the Saladworks Caf line-

    up includes much more than a

    variety of salads and dressings,

    but also features paninis, cia-

    batta sandwiches, and soups.

    Flipping through the menu I

    was impressed by both the

    breadth and depth presented.We decided we would begin

    with a salad, move on to a

    soup and finish with a sand-

    wich.

    I selected the Bently

    Salad, which includes ham,

    turkey, swiss and hardboiledegg. After asking Vinod what

    dressing went well, he offered

    me a taste of a Saladworks

    original: Green Goddess. It is

    essentially a ranch dressing

    with garlic and loads of herbs.

    I was sold on it, and even

    requested extra to drench my

    salad. My buddy ordered the

    Buffalo Chicken Salad with

    Bleu Cheese and found it to

    be delicious. The creaminessof the dressing mixed with the

    crunchy lettuce and crispy

    chicken all converged to

    explode with flavor. Each

    salad screamed freshness.

    Vinod made it a point to

    explain to us that all vegeta-bles are fresh and are cut up

    right in his kitchen.

    Next was the soup. One

    of the specials for the day was

    the Italian Wedding Soup.

    Being of Italian descent, I

    couldnt bring myself to pass it

    up. Im sure glad I didnt

    because it was outstanding!

    Small meatballs gave way to a

    hearty broth with fresh veg-

    etables. I couldve taken abath in it! It was even served

    with a warm roll for dipping.

    Now Im a pretty big guy and

    it takes a lot of food to fill me

    upbut at this point even

    after just soup and salad, I was

    already getting full.Finally, our sandwiches

    were brought out to cap off

    the meal. My friend ordered a

    Turkey Melt with bacon and

    cheddar cheese. I didnt get to

    try any of it mostly because he

    wouldnt let me. Evidently it

    was too delicious to give up

    even one bite. My

    Fajitalicious was quite the fla-

    vor bomb as it mimicked the

    Mexican Fajita and includedromaine lettuce and roasted

    peppers on ciabatta bread.

    Frankly, the size of the sand-

    wich alone probably couldve

    filled me up.

    So heres what I learned:

    If you ever find yourself need-ing a speedy meal, remember

    that quick service food doesnt

    have to be greasy and

    unhealthy. Stop in to

    Saladworks for a delicious

    salad or sandwich made with

    only the freshest most whole-

    some ingredients. Saladworks

    also does catering for all types

    of events. To learn more visit

    1628 Route 23 North in

    Wayne or call 973-628-1687.

    I

    n an era of over-the-top,

    ultra-expensive birthday

    parties whose extrava-

    gance rivals lavish weddings,some might find it invigorat-

    ing to scale things down and

    host a pool party.

    A pool party is an ideal

    way to host a birthday or other

    special event without having

    to do a lot of planning. All

    that is typically needed is an

    available pool and party par-

    ticipants ready to have a good

    time.

    Many people mistakenlythink that a pool party is

    something that can only be

    done during the warm weath-

    er. Actually, you can plan a

    pool party any time of the

    year. Many fitness gyms,

    schools and scuba certifica-

    tion locations open their

    pools up to public parties.

    Therefore, whether the event

    is held in June or January,

    chances are there is a poolavailable that can accommo-

    date the crowd.

    One main advantage to a

    pool party is that the pool is

    the entertainment factor for

    the guests. There's no need to

    spend hours thinking up

    games or other forms of enter-

    tainment. Swimming, splash-

    ing and jumping into the

    water will keep many guests

    occupied for hours. If you pre-fer more structure, consider

    relay races, diving games and

    water volleyball.

    Party preparation

    Start with the invitations

    when preparing the party.

    Select a colored paper or pat-

    tern that is reminiscent of

    pool water. A vibrant aquama-

    rine would fit the bill. Print

    out a catchy phrase thatdescribes the upcoming event

    (i.e., Jimmys Party is Bound

    to be a Splash), and be sure to

    remind guests to bring towels

    and bathing suits. If you will

    not have enough chairs for all

    guests, ask them on the invite

    to bring a beach chair as well.

    Put together a selection

    of music that evokes summer

    fun or tropical locations.

    There are bound to be compi-

    lation playlists available for

    purchase. An instrumental

    steel drum album also wouldbe effective. Remember, this

    pool party should look and

    feel hot. Music will help set

    that mood.

    Tie decorations into the

    theme. Purchase or rent

    inflatable palm trees and

    string lantern lights around

    the party area, if possible.

    Keep plenty of beach balls on

    hand to toss around in or out

    of the water. Table linens can

    be purchased in bright hues to

    match the blue, red and yel-

    low strips of a beach ball. Be

    sure to have plenty of fun pool

    toys available, such as floats

    and water guns. Have a few

    extra pairs of eye goggles on

    hand as well as sun block (if

    the party is outdoors) in caseswimmers forgot their own.

    Pool party food

    Think about which foods to

    serve at a pool party. Light,

    finger foods are ideal because

    they won't sit heavily in

    guests stomachs. Think

    about tea sandwiches, fruit

    and vegetable skewers, salads,

    and shish kabobs, served alongwith chips and dips. If the

    party will be in the backyard,

    barbecue fare also may be

    quick and easy, especially if

    there are a good number of

    guests.

    Create a number of trop-

    ical-inspired beverages.

    Anything with the taste of

    melon, mango and pineapple

    would fit in with the theme.

    Serve the same types of frozennonalcoholic drink varieties

    so everyone can enjoy a taste.

    Finger foods reduce the

    amount of cutlery and dishes

    needed and that amounts to a

    faster clean-up.

    One of the final factors

    of pool-party food is the

    dessert. Look to individually

    served desserts that can be

    eaten by hand. Opt for cup-

    cakes with blue frosting and a

    gummy fish on top. Ice cream

    cone sundaes are ideal on

    custard tarts.

    Pool party safety

    When hosting a pool

    party, emphasize safety.

    Remember, a person can

    drown in just a few inches of

    water in a matter of minutes.

    According to Kids Health,

    drowning is the second most

    common form of death from

    injuries among kids under the

    age of 14.

    Here are some precau-

    tions to take when hosting a

    pool party.

    Designate a life guard. If

    your party is at a public pool,

    ensure a lifeguard will be on

    duty. This person should not

    leave his or her post unless

    someone else relieves them.

    Designate a lifeguard at a pri-

    vate party as well, even hiring

    an off-duty lifeguard if no

    guests can perform the neces-

    sary duties.

    Make sure fences around

    the pool are tall enough to

    prevent accidental falls into

    the pool and that they are

    secured with self-latching

    gates.

    Insist that children who

    cannot sw
