Favorite Neighborhood Drugstore Offer Helps During Dispute

2012-01-17T13:00:00.001-08:00

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Walgreens is a favorite neighborhood drugstore of many but they have recently lost a negotiation that will have many negative effects on those in our communities, the cost of prescription drugs and even military families.

Walgreens was negotiating a new contract with Express Script, a popular pharmacy provider that works with health insurances declined negotiations and as of January 1, 2012, Walgreens is no longer part of the their in network. You can the details of this at Walgreens and Express Script.

Ultimately this means that those who use Express Script's and who have used Walgreens for years and have built relationships with their pharmacist will have to relocate to a new pharmacy that is possibly farther away and could potentially cost more per prescription. And as a result the neighborhood pharmacy could start to be diminished because of Express Script's push to use mail order prescription plans.

Walgreens doesn't want to see communities and individuals hurt this way so they have developed the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club. They are offering a special prescription savings club to ease the burden of higher costs and farther distances to new pharmacy's. For $5 per individual or $10 per family, Walgreens customers can become members that allow them to receive discount prices on their prescriptions.

So if this Express Script and Walgreens dispute has left you facing higher prescription costs and inconvenient pharmacy options, then hurry in by January 31, 2012 to sign up for the Walgreens and Express Script.

You can also join me and follow Walgreens on Twitter and Walgreens on Facebook to stay updated on the latest news and offers from Walgreens.

This post brought to you by Monte Carlo. All opinions are 100% mine.

Sumer is the movie season. We have been anticipating all of spring that we would be going to many movies this summer and have saved in order to do so.

But during the summer months it can seem like the only movies playing are the high budget action packed thrillers and action movies. Many of these are not suitable for kids and a few girls I know will be delighted to know that a new film is coming out just for them.

Monte Carlo follows three girls who save and save for a dream trip to Paris that turns out to be less than dreamy. As their trip winds to an end, one of them is mistaken for a British heiress and whisked away to Monte Carlo for fun and adventure. {Sounds a bit like Princess Diaries. ..which I adore!!}

Check out the trailer here and let us know what you think.

The film comes out this weekend and will be in theaters starting tomorrow! This is the perfect way to kick off your Holiday weekend. check out Fandango to get your tickets early! This way you know it won't be sold out and everyone can look forward to a fun Friday night at the movies.

For more inside scoop check out their Facebook page and "like" the movie! Who are you taking to see this girly movie? I know some girls who wouldn't mind a fun girls night out at the movies.

Men out there! Do you wear watches still? I know my husband did until a few years ago and after today I may have to go buy him another one today!

Wrist watches have always been a cherished family heirloom passed from father to son. And they are one of the only fashion accessories available to men these days! Sadly though due to cell phones people rarly wear waches any more.

My husband has always loved watches but hasn't found one he really loves for a long time. So I started searching and came across this beautiful (I mean handsome) wristwatch.

I love that this watch is classy and professional about also can be worn for everyday things. My husband loves brown and the leather pushes this over the edge. It is so nice and the inside of the watch is really neat looking. My husband doesn't like boring watched but also needs one to wear to his professional office job.

The Airboss Mach 3 Chrono is the perfect balance! Click HERE to check it out!

Victorinox Swiss Army offers a huge variety of different wrist watches! Go check them out today.

Scars & Stilettos Book Review

2010-06-14T21:50:00.000-07:00

I recently came across a great new book: Scars & Stilettos

The story is about one young women's journey from the striper pole to Christ and how she wants to help those trapped in the sex industry.

About the Book:

Fear of being abandoned keeps 19-year-old Harmony Dust trapped in an abusive relationship. Tens of thousands of dollars in debt and struggling to get by, someone tells her how much money she can make as an exotic dancer. For the next 3 years, Harmony lives a double life as Monique, a dancer in a strip club.

"Scars and Stilettos" is Harmony's stark, honest, & ultimately hopeful story of how God found her in that dark, noisy place & led her back out. She has since completed an MA in Social Welfare & now leads Treasures, an organization helping women in the sex trade discover their true worth & value.

What I love about this book is that it is told first hand from some one who was trapped in the sex industry and who escaped to help others. She has a deep desire to bring other young women out of that world and to know Christ. She has set up an amazing ministry called Treasures which is a non profit organization in Los Angeles to reach out to those in the sex industry.

To read more about her book go HERE.

To find out more about her ministry go HERE.

Do you want to read a story about how God uses people to draw us to him? Do you want to hear how God can redeem and transform lives? Then you need to check out Scars and Stilettos today!

Harmony Dust writes in a way to make everyone feel the pain that she went through and to see the struggle of working in the sex industry.

God's redeeming power is so strong that he can and will redeem people from all walks of life. Harmony beautifully tells the story of God's redeeming love in her life that has led her back to feeling whole again.

Go HERE to see the blog tour for this book.

{Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review}

Re-Decorating? Need Paint?

2010-06-08T22:00:00.000-07:00

{This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine.}

Just a few weeks ago my husband and I moved into our new (Bigger) place! And all that has been on my mind is of course decorating!

And when decorating one of the biggest concerns is the paint! The paint sets the stage for the entire room. It makes or breaks the mood and it makes or breaks the theme or atmosphere you are trying to portray.

Picking a paint color can be a laborious decision but with Glidden.com it becomes just that much easier and more fun.

Go HERE to see what I mean.

Their website is so attractive and easy to use. The website makes the whole process feel like I'm in a store rather than sitting at my kitchen table. The paint seems so real and tangible and makes it easy to select the perfect paint online without ever having to leave the area you want to paint!

You have three easy ways to pick colors!

The first is that you can view The Top Ten picks

The second is you can shop by color palette

And the third (my favorite) is match a mood!

Once you have selected a color you may like it quickly pops up and shows you color schemes that match. This website is perfect for those of us who are decisive and know what we want and also for those of us who have no idea what we want our room to look like.

It is easy to find the exact color you are looking for and also has tons of decorating ideas and is full of inspiring pictures and templates.

If you are a more hands on person then you can find the Glidden products at Home Depot. There you can see and take home paint samples to view in your own home. You can also find great decorating ideas and fun inspirations.

So you've found the perfect color on the website? But you still want to try it out on your own wall? GREAT! Head to Home Depot and pick up the inexpensive paint testers that include a paintbrush and actually allows you to test a small portion on your wall! What better of a way to figure if you really like it!

These testers are also a great option for once you've already painted and one of your little ones puts a scrape in the wall. Quick, Easy, and Cheap paint fixer ;)

Save Time This Summer!

2010-06-08T21:35:00.000-07:00

{This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NAVTEQ. All opinions are 100% mine.}

I don't know about you but Summer was always a very busy time in my household! My brothers and I were out of school for summer and by about the 3rd week we drove my mother nuts!!

I'm sure many mothers can identify with this and I'm sure I one day will to! ;)

More time at home from school means more free time. And this means more time doing other activities such as soccer, parties and fun days at the park. But this also means more time in the car.

With all your little munchkins in your car, Summer is the perfect time to check out your navigation system so that you can get from Point A to Point B with the shortest amount of time and that means more time at the park playing with your kiddos!

So the thing to do is to make sure that your handheld GPS device and or in car navigation system is up to date!

I know that during the summer I end up spending waay too much driving and not enough time in the Sun!

Go here to find out how you can update your map TODAY!

www.updateyourmap.com

This website is so simply and easy to use! It works with cars that have a built in GPS and for your hand held ones you bought at Costco or other places.

I bought my GPS a long time ago and with constant road constructions and new roads being built a GPS update is a must! With this website it is quick and easy to update your device or car today! It takes only minutes to download and will end up saving you hours in the car! Download it today!

I am going to do it right now :)

Drive Safe with Confidence Again!

2010-05-27T12:50:00.000-07:00

{This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.}

Do you have loved ones who have trouble getting from place to place because of a disability? Well then you need to check out the NMEDA today!

The NMEDA is the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association. They make a point of stating that their organization and website is not for selling things. They are rather an information hub for those living with a disability.

They say that, "NMEDA is the only association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people" while not selling anything. They want to promote safety and inform consumers of what is really on the market.

They operate from the belief that just as no two people are alike neither are two disabled people. And so many companies sell cars and other equipment to disabled people that are not customized at all and end up not working for each individual needs.

The NMEDA is also proud to show that they have QAP (Quality Assurance Program) dealers working to ensure only the safest products reach the consumers. They operate on the belief that in order for consumers to know that what they are buying is authentic then they much have documented proof of it's quality.

If you have a loved one who is disabled or if you are disabled yourself then start getting your life back today. Go HERE to locate a dealer in your area! All you have to do is type in your zip code and pick the closest dealer.

Go visit their site today and let me know how they have helped you! NMEDA

The Medical Guardian

2010-05-20T11:57:00.000-07:00

{This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Medical Guardian. All opinions are 100% mine.}

Do you remember the old commercials of "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up"?!? Boy that saying gets stuck in your head.

Well get a new saying in your head: The Medical Alert Systems! It is the same concept of help I've fallen and I can't get up but even better.

If one of your loved ones lives alone or is alone a lot then this medical system is for them! It allows them to feel safe doing all the activities they loved before without the fear of falling and no one being around. This way if they do get hurt then help is on their way.

How this works:
1. In case of emergency all one has to do is press the button on their alert system which can be worn around the neck, on your wrist, or around your waste. This allows you to have the freedom to choose which area works best and what you feel you can reach easiest in an emergency.
2. By pressing the button this alerts the Emergency Monitoring System and they contact you to see if you need help. If you do then help is on the way immediately! They will even call your loved ones right away.

Having the Medical Guardian allows you or your loved one to live independently. They can stay home alone or go out and feel safe that if something where to happen then help would be on their way.

This is also good for children who are looking after their parents. They no longer have to worry when leaving them alone. It gives a peace of mind not only to the one wearing the medical guardian but also to the entire family.

Do you need an alert button? Even if you have not taken a fall or had an emergency in a while it is still important to get one. It only takes one bad fall with no one around to make you wish you had one.

Head over HERE to get your Medical Guardian today for you or a loved one. You won't be sorry! Find out about their special offer right now or to request a brochure to get further details go here:

Books for Free!

2010-05-19T12:58:00.000-07:00

Did you know that you can get books for free?!?

All you have to do is read the book and then write a review about the book {usually about 200 words}. That's it. Then the book is yours!

Okay this sounds like a paid ad but it's NOT! This is just how excited I am about this. I have recently discovered the wonderful world of book reviewing.

I have signed up with a few book review sites recently. Sign up is usually VERY easy. You fill out a little form and then wait for approval. After that they YOU pick the book that you want to review.
The biggest thing about this whole thing is that I didn't want to review books I didn't want to read because that is just boring and a waste of time! But you get to choose which ones you want to read and which you don't. Even if you don't like any of them for three months..no problem! Then as soon as your doen they will ship you another one.

Seriously I am SO excited about this! I love love love reading and this is a perfect way to fuel my book hunger without breaking the bank.

I have recieved two of my books already with many many more on the way. And one of the books was one I would have headed to the bookstore to buy!

Anway here are a few great sites to check out. All of them are Christian publishers or websites:

I have also contacted a publisher once and told them I would like to review one of their new books and they shipped it out to me the next day! This is really an exciting thing to me!

Let me know if you have any questions about this...I know I did when I first started!

And do you know of any other great sites such as the ones above?

Freschetta Pizza A Review

2010-05-13T22:33:00.000-07:00

{This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.}

Pizza is one of my favorite meals! I could eat it for dinner, lunch, or cold for breakfast Mmmm! So I am constantly on the hunt for great frozen pizza that is affordable and yet with that fresh made taste!

So when I heard about Freschetta frozen pizza my family and I had to try it! So we ran to the store with our coupons (You can get some coupons HERE for $1 off!!) and got a few pizzas to try.

And let me tell you, we were NOT disappointed. Too often, frozen pizza can taste like cardboard...but NOT Freschetta! It tasted like fresh pizza and is more than half of the price!!
Freschetta FlatBread

My husband and Sister's really enjoyed the pizza when we had them over for dinner.

What we all said was how great the crust was! It tasted like it was freshly made right before we baked it. Like I said, this pizza tasted FRESH! Yuuum!!

Also the herbs and seasoning that they put in the pizza made it taste like it was really authentic Italian!! Even more yummy goodness!

The price of these pizzas is affordable and it tastes like the pizza is fresh from an Italian restaurant. And if that is not incentive enough then head HERE to get your very own $1 off coupon!!

Try there new Freschetta FlatBread today!!

Budgets are being cut across the board in all public schools. Teachers are being cut back, supplies diminishing and field trips are almost non-existent. That is why Lunchables is launching a new program called "Field Trips For All", a program to send deserving classrooms on fun educational field trips.

Lunchables has launched a new program called Project Potential and "Field Trips For All" is just their first set. The purpose of projectt potential is to help kids be able to reach their full potential and by sending them on fun educational field trips they are getting that much closer to be well rounded kids.

This program is so great and critical right now because according to The American Association of School Administrators, field trip programs will be eliminated by 56% over the course of the year. This doesn't even include the programs that have already been cut.
Field Trips For All

Lunchables wants to partner with teachers and parents to help their children reach their fullest potential. They have decided to send deserving students and classrooms from around the country on fun educational field trips.

So here's how to enter a great kid or classroom you know:
You have to be 6 years or older to nominate a person or classroom. Just go HERE and you can submit your nomination. Once all the nominations are in Lunchables will select 50 deserving classrooms to receive the field trips!

Check out this fun field trip and see the children's reactions!

Who are you going to nominate today? Share stories of great kids you know!!!

Click Emails-Make More Money!

2010-04-08T15:24:00.000-07:00

This website is very similar to the last website I featured. Go check out my last post to find out more. These websites are sooo very similar in fact, I'm sure they are owned by the same company.

This one is called InboxDollars.

So the gist of the website is the same. They send you 2-5 emails a day and you click on the emails (they are Ads) and confirm that you read them. I have not had very much time lately so this is all I end up doing. But if you have more time on your hands then there are great opportunites to make money taking surveys and even playing games!

And you get $5 just for signing up! This is a very simple and easy to use website and while you don't make a ton of money off of it, it is still super simple and easy to make money.

Check InboxDollars HERE to sign up!

Make Money By Clicking on Emails!

2010-04-08T15:18:00.000-07:00

Do you want to make money by simply clicking on emails? Of course you do!! hehe

One great website that I found is Send Earnings.

Send Earnings is a great way to make a little extra cash without much work! I get 2-5 emails a day from them and all I have to do is click to confirm that I read the email. It's that easy!! And while you don't make a ton of money doing it, it's super simple and takes nearly no time at all!

If you have more time you can always do the extra surveys they offer and you can even play games to make money! Wow! This site is super easy to use and very easy to make money! Check it out today!

Click HERE to check out the website.

The only thing I don't like is that there do not seem to be too many new survey's up...but you can still make money clicking on emails :D
