Figure out the Real Cost of Healthcare, with Aflac #sponsored

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Aflac. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Hopefully, you haven’t experienced the unpleasantness — to put it mildly — of a serious injury or illness. Even with health insurance, it can be downright debilitating, physically and emotionally, as well [...]

Woo hoo for healthy hoohoo!

Yes, I said it. Healthy hoohoo. Don’t judge me. You know that a healthy hoohoo is important. (Or, you should, anyway!) And yet, what do you use to “clean” your private area? (Yes, I’m going to use a lot of different names for that, including “hoohoo.”) The same soap you use for the rest [...]

Clearasil Ultra Products: What to expect #sponsored

What teenager doesn’t deal with skin “issues” (they definitely run the gamut)? I sure did (and sometimes still do, to be honest), and I know it can be stressful and frustrating and challenging and upsetting and…well, you get the idea.

The Paleo Diet: Just what is it?

Caveman Diet Paleo Diet

So you’ve probably been hearing a lot of buzz about the “Paleo Diet” (aka the “Caveman Diet”) lately. It seems to be all the rage. However, I’ve noticed it often gets boiled down into being a diet that’s basically about eating meat (as you can imagine, it has its share of detractors, as well [...]

Healthing with LYSOL! #spon

Yeppers, it’s that time again — Spring Cleaning time. But this year, maybe we should think about it in a whole new way — as “Spring Healthing” — for a variety of reasons. For starters, we’re coming off one of the most horrendous cold and flu seasons in years. For another, we’re now into [...]

Allergy season is upon us, folks. And if you suffer from seasonal allergies, you might want to know that — I hope you’re sitting down — the 2013 allergy season is going to be one of the worst ever, if not the worst ever. Especially for those in the [...]

LYSOL No-Touch Hand Soap protects…times 10! #sponsored

I’ve mentioned before that I am a tad — just a tad — of a germophobe. Nothing to write home about but I don’t like to touch the door handles in, oh, say, a public bathroom. Ick. Or faucet handles. Or the soap dispenser. Ew. Ew. Ew. Because, unless that bathroom features an automatic [...]
