Quick shout out-

I just wanted to give some love to some bloggy buddies who have been really, really helpful this week  (ALWAYS, but this week in general).

Also, they have just been super supportive, and wonderful people, and I love you guys.  Thank you for putting up with me, and you have only a little idea of how much I appreciate you all.

Walgreens trip

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

We recently took a trip to Walgreens to grab some vitamins and supplements.  We have to keep healthy you know.  Well when we got there first of all the store was very clean and the employees were super helpful.  We found our way to our destination quite easily.  The daily multi-vitamin aisle, in said aisle there are lots to chose from.  All of which have this or that added to them to boost this or that.  It came down to Walgreens Gold Seal Multiple Vitamins Dietary Supplement Tablets or another well known brand.  When comparing the ingredients they were just about the same, the first 15 ingredients were spot on, from there it varied a little bit.  The selling point in terms of which we would actually purchase would be the price.  The Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products was actually quite a bit cheaper (almost $5 cheaper!)  Yay for frugality!!!!I The hubs thought there was no way these were the same so, we went and asked the pharmacist.  Even they said they have the same active ingredients and they would actually suggest getting the Walgreens brand because, “…there’s our guarantee…” meaning- if you don’t like it, return it.  Sounded good to me, so that is the one we went with.  So far the vitamins are working well, they give you that little pep of nutrients when you know you need them in a draining day.

Walgreens is currently running a few promotions, one of which is the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ .  Which helps the consumer better them selves health wise with education, and prevention. 

Another item of note is right now many of those wonderful bloggers are holding giveaways for 120x30_WalgrensTransparentLogo gift cards. giveaways Awesome!

Cryo-Cell Services

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of CryoCell International for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Cryo-Cell is a service where umbilical cord blood from when your newborn baby is saved, instead of gotten rid of as medical waste and cryogenicly stored to preserve is properties as a sort of insurance incase of emergencies, this cord blood could be used to help keep your child and even their siblings from getting quite sick in very bad scenarios.  One of which could be, I don’t even want to say it, any treatment where chemotherapy is needed.  In these treatments often times the immune system is heavily damaged and with cord blood, the immune system can get a recharge and help the healing process quicken.  Collection of the blood is painless to all involved (child and mother) and is done by the doctor and the facility where you plan on giving birth.  There are step by step instructions available for mothers and an easy kit to bring along when the big day finally comes. 

This may seem like something that is from the future and will be very expensive but it would actually cost as little as $3 a week.  Not bad  at all.  AND if you sign up during there current promotion you also receives a FREE Baby Jogger City Mini, jogging stroller.  Sign up today 🙂 enroll today

Help Find Missing Girl

 The parents of a missing Indiana University college student from Westchester pleaded for their daughter’s safe return in emotional television appearances Wednesday.
“To that one person that has the answer to this mystery and this puzzle, bring Lauren back. Let us know where she is,” Charlene Spierer said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”
“I am pleading with that one person, because there is one person there that knows,” she said while fighting back tears.
Her daughter, Lauren Spierer, vanished just a few blocks from her apartment near Indiana University early Friday morning after a night out at a bar with friends.
The 20-year-old Westchester native was last seen walking home barefoot from a friend’s apartment at around 4:30 a.m.

Wordless Wednesday!
