How to Stay Motivated & ZonePerfect®

By

This shop has been compensated by CollectiveBias, Inc. on behalf of its advertiser, ZonePerfect. #SnackandRally #CollectiveBias If you've been following my blog lately, you'd know that I've been setting monthly goals for myself. (My friend, Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom, got me started with this with, and it's been a great motivator. I'm glad that I've started tracking monthly goals, because I've looked into how to stay motivated for some time! Check out my April and May monthly goals.) One of these goals is to start exercising at least a few days a week. Admittedly, I haven't been doing Continue reading...

Doctor visits are convenient with video doctor visits by Doctor on Demand

Video Doctor Visits at Home

By

“This post was sponsored by Doctor On Demand as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.” I've had allergies for a long time. Up until last summer, I used to get allergy shots, but I stopped getting them last summer. When spring hit this year, I was feeling terrible! My nose was constantly running, I was sneezing and I was getting sinus headaches. I wasn't happy! Doctor visits can take up a lot of time (with the drive to the doctor's office and the waiting for the appointment), so I was glad for the opportunity to try Doctor On Demand. I love May flowers and blooms, but Continue reading...

5 Simple Ways to Improve Your Health & Wellness

By

*Thanks to Aetna and the Healthiest Cities and County Challenge for sponsoring this post. Lately, I have been all about setting small, achievable goals to help improve my life. One of my May goals was to get more sleep, while one of my April goals was to exercise more. As part of my own resolve to improve my own personal health, I've partnered with the Aetna Foundation to share their Healthiest Cities and Counties Challenge with you. The Aetna Foundation surveyed more than 2,000 Americans on their opinions about healthy living topics. The survey found that 77 percent of Continue reading...

May Goals -- I like to set smaller monthly goals that are easier to accomplish in a month.

May Goals

By

Today I am joining my friend, Carrie of Curly Crafty Mom, in sharing my personal goals for May. I think setting monthly goals is a great exercise for getting things done! 1. Clean and Beautify Backyard. I have been all about cleaning and organizing my home lately. So, one of my May goals is to clean up and improve the backyard, so my family and I can enjoy our yard this coming spring and summer! I got a start on that goal last week -- I filled five trash bins with twigs and branches from our backyard and scheduled a yard waste pickup with my town. I don't think my husband and I have Continue reading...

A Restorative Massage (#MakeItHappenBlogHop)

By

*I was provided with a free massage at Massage Envy in exchange for this review. Thanks, Massage Envy! Hi, everyone! Today is a fun day, because it’s the next installment of the Make It Happen Blog Hop! Each month for the Make it Happen Blog Hop, my blogging friends and I challenge ourselves to take on something new that’s out of our comfort zone.  This month, we challenged ourselves to do something physical. So, I decided to get a massage! I used to get massages occasionally before my children were born. But, up until my recent massage, I hadn't gotten a massage in more Continue reading...

How to Prepare for Bunion Surgery

By

*This post contains Amazon affiliate links. Two weeks ago I had bunion surgery. It's a surgery I knew I would need and have been dreading for years! I've had a bunion since I was about 10 years old, and this spring, my bunion had gotten to the point where it was causing me nightly pain. Plus, my big toe was starting to cross over my second toe. So, I scheduled my bunion surgery for earlier this month. I would not suggest bunion surgery just for cosmetic reasons. I will have to keep off my foot for at least 4-6 weeks. I've only left my house once so far in the past two weeks! Luckily, for Continue reading...

Handi-Treads Review

By

Full Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received item(s) that were either gifted to me in exchange for this post and/or I was compensated for my participation. All opinions are 100% mine. I never used to worry about falling at my home until I slipped on my icy driveway in 2014 and broke my wrist! A metal plate was put in my wrist to repair the damage. Winter 2015 was a LONG cold winter, so I was worried about falling again! When Handi-Treads gave me the chance to try out their non-slip stair treads, I said yes! Handi-Treads, which come in a variety of colors, have a raised-button Continue reading...

By

I participated in the Amwell blog program as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation but all opinions are my own.

Help for Sensitive Bladders

 *Disclosure: “I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Always Discreet. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” #PeeHappens There are so many changes as a woman ages.  I am in my upper 40s, and since I've hit my 40s, I've noticed some new things in my life. I still am a night owl, but now that I am older, I can't spring back from those late nights as easily as I used to! I've also developed a low thyroid condition, so I tend to have a little less energy and have practically no Continue reading...

Get Healthy and Go Outdoors with Girl Scouts

By

#ad Disclosure: * I was compensated for this post as part of the Together Counts/Girl Scouts of the Nation’s Capital campaign that I am participating in for the Mom It Forward Blogger Network. #healthyhabits I was a Girl Scout when I was in elementary school. Girl Scouts was a fantastic experience for me! I got to know a lot of other great girls, and went on some fun camping trips -- I probably would have never gone camping were it not for Girl Scouts! So when my twin daughters became old enough for Girl Scouts, I signed up as a co-leader of their Daisy Girl Scout Troop and led a Girl Scout Continue reading...

Summer Skin Protection #ChooseSkinHealth

By

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Neutrogena. I received samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.” Now that my kids are on summer vacation, we love spending time outdoors together! We've already been swimming, had some barbecues and have visited some local parks. My kids know that in our family, we don't spend time outside without applying  sunscreen!  I have fair skin and skin cancer runs in my family, so I take skin protection from the sun very seriously. That means that Continue reading...
