What a great experience being pregnant can be. There can also be potential concerns, the troubles of weight gain, muscle pain and joint pain, as well as the aches in our bones. This is such a joyous occasion, as well as one of a challenge. We feel such discomfort and pain. There is a solution. I have recently discovered the luxury of pregnancy massage! This is actually possible! We do need to make sure the needs fit our circumstances.All the...more
Have you ever thought about having a massage? Maybe you have and you know the benefits. As a woman, I know that a massage can be great for pain/stress relief. Even injuries can be relieved by a massage. Not only the everyday worries can melt away, but your deep tissue pains can be somewhat alleviated. Does your husband have pain, stress, aches? He's too manly to go for a massage. Maybe you can introduce him to it by going for a couples...more
If you are a home-owner (or renter), a parent, a caregiver, heck, even a pet-owner, you are on-the-go! Between carrying groceries or kitty litter, moving car seats, picking up small children, carrying back-packs, you are under physical (perhaps mental) pressure. As a parent, I can attest. If I am not making a bed, cooking meals, taking children from one activity to another, I am doing laundry, feeling my back hurt! This is truly common. My solution? Back massage at my local spa. The more frequent the better.Spas offer more than just a back massage, from fingers to toes, from back to head. We tend to neglect our backs, even we are always using them. They are used even more than our feet. While I have tried many different massages, and enjoy them all, I feel that a back massage is most beneficial.You will surely find a caring masseuse who will talk you through your first massage, discuss a variety of lotions and methods, as well as offering a semi-nude option or nude (covered modestly with towels) depending on your level of comfort. I, for one, was quite uncomfortable with the nude option, so first time around went semi-nude. The massage was so, so great! Two weeks later I am still...more
I feel so great! That was fabulous. I just had my first Swedish massage. Why did it take me so long to discover this. Having had one, I now know that this is one of the more modern-day massages. It was developed in Stockholm, Sweden, just a few centuries ago. It relieves tension by rubbing muscles in the direction of the blood flow. This is in...more
In my many life experiences, my first massage was not all it could have been. Having had more massages than my first one, I realize, it actually is great. I was the subject of a lady who was learning. I worked at a health club and she needed volunteers. I, as the low person on the totem pole, was elected to be it. I had no idea what a therapeutic...more
Many teachers find themselves in a difficult situation when it comes to health care coverage. The cost keeps going up while the pay, already too low, does not keep up accordingly. Often, these professionals are faced with either paying more for teachers health insurance or having to look elsewhere.Looking elsewhere for health coverage is actually not necessarily a bad idea. People who have never purchased their own health insurance sometimes have an idea that it will be more expensive or the coverage will not be as good and less superior to the plan they already have. This is often not the case, especially these days.For one thing, when you purchase your own health insurance, you have more options. An employer usually offers you only one or two possible insurance packages. When you buy your own, you have many more options including HMOs, varying PPO plans, a health savings account (HSAs), and even what is sometimes called catastrophic insurance.Castrophic insurance can be particularly appealing to teachers who are young, single and in good health. It will cover you in the case of accidents or emergencies but is not ideal if you tend to visit the doctor frequently. Since the...more

Isn't technology great. Do you type? Do you do research. Has your child said why, and you've gone straight online to research. Have you been invited by an electronic invite, or maybe that's how you check up on play dates with your child's playmates?...more
