forest. you have the whiteside mountain hike, which is one of the most popular. it's also a bird area designated by the audubon society. you can go tubing and ice-skating this time of year. it's a great place to go. check out the skyline lodge. that's the place to stay. >> what about a family friendly destination that's sort of great for all ages? >> well, it's a little chilly, but check out boston, right? go up to boston with the family because you can soak in all that history, boston common, the oldest public park in the united states, explore the 2 1/2-mile-long freedom trail, see sites like the paul revere house. and this hotel is a landmark property. views of the common. and, again, it's relatively affordable, $180 a night with that modern, contemporary vibe as well. >> such great food in boston too. some people need to get far away. where should the world traveler

good morning. >> hi. how you guys doing? >> okay. we have to talk real hair because the winter, the cold, dry air, it really does a number on your hair. your scalp flaky, your hair is brittle. what diy remedies do you suggest to solve these problems? >> one, my diy is to get an egg from your refrigerator, crack it, put it on your hair and use it as a mask. it's great protein for your hair. two, peppermint oil is great to spray on your scalp. it is amazing on the scalp. it brings the scalp alive. like aromatherapy on the scalp. three, aloe vera. it's great to use on the scalp. it brings your scalp alive and it's so good and for healthy hair, promotes healthy hair. >> wow. i love that. i have, like, 50 aloe vera plants in my sun room too. shockingly, we don't wake up with our hair looking like this. we have to style it, but that can cause a lot of damage.

thousand do we prevent and protect the hair from styling damages? >> well, you have to start with a great shampoo and conditioner, and i love the tsdtsdtsd shampoo and flower extract conditioner. it promotes healthy hair, and the b-5 in the shampoo is great because it strengthens your hair. most of all, it leaves your hair smooth, shiny, and frizz free. >> always what we want. is there anything we can do kind of like inside-out, things we can eat that can promote healthy hair? >> well, insideout, first of all, you are what you eat, right? so you have to drink lots of water and you have to eat lots of vegetables and not fried food but grilled. most of all, too, when it comes to hair and texture of your hair, i like the curly hair, good, when you're eating it, it has a nice shine on the hair and the touch of the hair is great. >> i do have to ask you this as well. it feels like sort of an old

ur hair wn it's wet?shing i'm asking as someone that's a curly haired girl. >> when it comes to brushing your hair, i always like to say the power is in if you have this texture here, you start at the end, you work your way to the top. now, what this does is it keeps your curl but it detangles without pulling and tugging on the hair. my tangle teaser, it's natural curly brush. it's amazing. >> so don't pull a marsha brady and do 100 hair strokes. that's not a thing we need to do? we need the right tool. >> thank you so much for all those great tips. coming up, get on board with super snacks. >> yes, please. this valentine', find the gift that touches their heart.

must. going from hard cheeses, soft cheeses, even blue cheeses. then you can see here we have an array of cured meats, some crackers, and some fruits just to break up those salty bites. >> i want your board. looks better than our board. once you have all your picks, how do you put it all together? >> yeah. so to start my board, i always like to start with a few ere.ors, and i'm not just talking about the cheeses. so i get my cheeses down first, whether it's the hard cheese or the soft cheese. after the cheeses are done, i come in with my dishes. i've got jams and honeys. then comes the cured meats. the meats can be a little difficult just because they can be difficult to grab. so what i like to do with prosciutto, for example, the cut them in half cross wiewise and them a little roll, kind of like this. so understand you have this, you

just -- yeah, you just pile it up. that way when your it's as easy as picking that up. >> all about the roll because you get that long piece times. >> yeah. >> exactly. okay. >> sammy, i went straight for the valentine's day sweets here. with that around the corner and super bowl around the corner, how can you bump up these boards? >> oh, my gosh. great question. so for the valentine's day board, i played into the theme. i have lots of roses, pinks, and reds, definitely amped up the chocolate here, lots of sweets for your sweet. i also broke up all of our sweet bites with savory things like these salted pretzels that have been covered in chocolate and even a wheel of brie. come game day, super bowl is just around the corner, i filled my board with all of my favorite game day appetizers -- chicken wings, pretzels, cheese dip, to drive home your team morale.

you can use cupcake liners with your team colors to really let them know who's going to win the game. >> sammy, i love putting together a good charcuterie, but i'm not very good at it, so it sort of looks like a lunchables. what is your pro tip for novices trying to put together a charcuterie board? >> definitely variety. i mean, try things that you've never seen, try things that are very in season, like figs are always fun additions, especially for guests that have never tried them. then you have freedom to build the bites the way you want to, something sweet, something savory, something salty, and honestly, have fun with i would. there's no right or wrong way to do it because it's going to turn out great no matter what. >> i love how gio was telling us before the show he was cutting back on sugar and then he just had a bunch of cookies and donuts. >> donuts are killer. sammy, thank you so much. great to have you. we appreciate it. >> yeah. thank you so much for having me.
