My Well-Being

This post brought to you by My Well-Being Powered by Humana. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been thinking a lot about my well-being lately.  As a wife, mother of two and brand/business owner, I have to admit that I haven't really paid nearly enough time to my overall well-being as I should be doing.  You see well-being is more than the state of our mental and physical health and wellness.   Those are just two of the pieces that make up the puzzle.  Our overall well-being also includes family, career, finances and leisure time.

That's why the folks over at Humana have created a new site called My Well-Being.  I love this site because it gives me access to free tools and resources to help me better manage all the areas of my well-being.  I can view videos, explore articles written by experts and receive daily tips.  And the best part is that I can save the material that I find most helpful and will need to refer back to for motivation or inspiration.

I can also share those materials with family and friends through social media.  My Well-Being allows me the chance to communicate and share my opinion with other site users.  And to make help even more with making sure that I live a well rounded life I can visit The Marketplace and receive discounts on dozens of products that are designed and dedicated to promoting healthy living in all aspects of life.

So, I encourage you all to hope on over to My Well-Being, sign-up, take their free wellness assessment and order your FREE Dummies book on well-being today.  Take the first steps to making sure you have complete wellness now.  After all, we deserve it!

Battle of the Migraine

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

It was the summer of my second grade year when my battle with migraines started.  At first my mom didn't know what was going on with me.  I was having these headaches that were so bad I would often cry from the pain.  Being as young as I was, I was a little scared that something really bad was going to happen to me.  My got worried too.

At first, she thought that maybe the medicine in my glasses had weakened and that I was having the headaches because i was straining to see.  Well, the medicine was a little weak in one eye.  However, a few weeks after getting new glasses and the headaches were still coming.  Finally, we went to see our family doctor and I was diagnosed with chronic migraines.  Great these things would stick with me for life.

Here I am today at age 25 and still having migraines that would bring even the strongest person to their knees.  However, thanks to Extra Strength Pain Reliever from Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products I am managing a lot better. As a child there weren't many products that I could take.  As an adult, I go to Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products for medicines that I know will work and won't break my wallet.

In addition, to being a great bang for my buck, I use Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products because they are recommended by Walgreens pharmacists, most contain the same active ingredients as national brands (think Advil, Tylenol, etc.) and they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.  It can't get much better than this when shopping for medication.  

The next time you find yourself battling it out with a monster migraine, I encourage you to head to your local Walgreens and pick up some of their Extra Strength Pain Reliever.    You can check out these giveaways from select bloggers for a chance to win a Walgreens Gift Card and use  it towards that purchase.  Also, read about their Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ and how Walgreens is working to bring preventive wellness services to local communities.
