I can remember the day nurses and other hospital staff members either wore the traditional white nurse uniforms or blue scrubs. Today, that is far from the case.  In fact, I don’t think you see a hospital staff person who works directly with patients wearing anything other than scrubs – they have become that popular.
  
The design of scrubs has come a long way with patterns and colors; including the line of Blue Sky Scrubs, created by Shelby Marquardt, an anesthesiologist. Her line of scrubs comes in multiple colors with a signature design pocket on the tops and the bottoms.  Featuring styles made for women, men and children one has many options to choose from. In addition, should you be in need of custom scrubs, Blue Sky Scrubs has sizes to fit petite and tall individuals.
  
Scrubs aren’t the only things you will find by this company.  Blue Sky Scrubs offers accessories such as the Cotton Pixie Hats made for shorter and longer hairstyles.  There are scrub hats in designs for men and women.  There is also a line of Women’s Jackets, shirts for men and women as well as Lab Coats.


You can check out their entire line of scrubs and accessories at: http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/Original-Scrubs/

The thoughts of making my skin look younger appeals to me since I am getting up there in age.  Therefore, when I had the chance to try Regeneration USA’s Anti-Aging Skin Regenerator – 100% Organic Skin Regenerator, I jumped at the chance.  The fact this regenerator is 100% organic is a super plus, as I am convinced that all the chemicals going in, and on our bodies, are killing us.
About the Product:
Regeneration USA’s 100% Organic Anti-Aging Skin Regenerator contains Fulvic Ionic Minerals that deliver complex nutrients for healthy looking skin.  These minerals are complex plant derived micronutrients that date back 359 million years ago during the Carboniferous period when the Earth was thriving with plant life.

This natural Skin Regenerator is designed to penetrate the skin leaving it feeling smoother, firmer and diminish wrinkles.

Other benefits include:
Contains essential anti-aging amino acids
Regenerates & Revitalizes skin cells
Naturally smoothens wrinkles
Promotes healthy smooth & glowing skin                
Replenishes the skins lost minerals
Relives Mosquito Bites
Skin detoxifier
Aids in skin rashes healing faster
Relieves skin irritations & Sun Burn
Reduces the effects of aging
Relieves athletes foot & psoriasis

I found this Skin Regenerator to be lightweight, odorless, and fast absorbing.  I sprayed it on my arms and legs.  Then using my hand, I evened out the coat.  To apply to my face, I sprayed it onto my hand and then applied it.  I liked the way it left my skin feeling…no stickiness and no heavy feeling.  After applying, I noticed my tan went from dull to vibrant and I felt it reduced the very fine lines that have begun appearing throughout my skin.

I was also able to try it out on Mosquito bites.  My daughter had been eaten alive by mosquitoes when we went horn pouting.  Why her I don’t know as I was left alone – guess she’s better tasting!  So when she complained about being itchy, I sprayed the Skin Regenerator on her backside and she indicated to me shortly after, that the itching stopped.  She again came to me the next night asking me to spray the regenerator on her.  I asked her if she truly felt it helped the itching and she said, “Ya mom…I do.”

Stock trading isn’t a cut and dry money making adventure.  One can lose money just as easily as they can make it – so yes, there is a risk involved when trading stocks.  There are two ways to trade stocks – the traditional way and via an online brokerage site.

Trading stocks involves one needing a stock broker as a stock broker buys and sell the stocks.  You could do this yourself; except you need to be a member and for individual traders – it’s very costly to become a member.  A traditional stock broker can be sought or you can go through an online brokerage firm.  However, a broker can be by-passed should one be trading via a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP).  This type of stock trading is when one where a company offers individuals to buy shares in their company directly.

Stock trading can occur on the floor via a floor broker, also known as a pit broker.  You more than likely have seen a picture of one on TV where there is lots of yelling, waving and signaling amongst individuals.  The other option is through an online website.

Electronically trading stocks is becoming more popular.  Electronic trading allows anyone to buy and sell online.  One doesn’t talk to a human broker but rather, you decide which stocks to buy and sell. Some online brokerages offer advice, others do not.  Should you decide to do electronic trading, it is advised that you take the time to read what you should do to safeguard your money and personal information.  Maybe you would also find it helpful to read a tutorial, as there are pros and cons of trading online.  It never hurts to be informed.

So how are stocks traded?  They are traded over a stock exchange.  The stock exchange is a huge industry where stocks are listed and can be readily bought and sold.  There are two major stock exchanges, NASDAQ (originally standing for National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) and the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange).  Since the stock exchanges complete huge numbers of trades each day, the stock you may want to purchase just may be available.  This is where the exchange does their job of linking buyers and sellers together.

Should you be nervous about how stock trading all works, there are websites where one can ‘practice.’  This may be a helpful tool for you before you do it live.

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

 

Today’s kids are so very busy with their friends and activities. They are much more advanced because of the time they are growing up in.  With there being so much more in the world for them to do, it’s hard to keep them from doing things that interest them – it’s what makes them grow as a person.  Luckily, for us parents, we live during a time that makes it easy for us to keep in touch with our kids when they aren’t with us but – not without an added expense on our hands.  Yes, I am talking about cell phone technology.

 

Okay, so you don’t want to add your child to your cell phone plan – it will cost you too much; and of course, that nasty word  “contract” comes into play, something you’re not really wanting to extend.  So now what?  Well…have you ever thought about a TracFone?  There are so many features to owning a TracFone.

 

The benefits:

  • No Contract, No credit checks, No activation or cancellation fees, No Surprises!
  • The ability to double your purchased minutes
  • Brand name phones from leading manufacturer’s (Samsung, Motorola, LG, Nokia…to name a few) including Bluetooth enabled “Smart” phones, “Candy Bar” phones
  • Nationwide coverage with excellent reception and connectivity

TracFone has several plans:

  • 1 year service cards – give you so much more.  Receive double minutes for the life of your TracFone, and 800 minutes, for only $119.00
  • “Double minutes for the life of your phone” is a feature that can be purchased separately for only $19.99, but some phones include it!
  • Choose monthly plans with 200 minutes for under $30.00, and as low as $9.99 for 50 minutes

  • Call Internationally for the same price as any other call (TracFone is the only wireless service that offers this)
  • Call over 60 International destinations directly from your TracFone at no extra cost!
  • The International Neighbors program allows you to provide family and friends in Mexico or Canada a local phone number in those countries to reach you at your TracFone in the U.S.

Prepaid Cards are becoming increasingly popular.  They function like a debit card more than a credit card.  One can only spend the funds loaded onto the card.  They are great for those who don’t have good credit, or a checking account, and are much safer than carrying cash.  There’s no way to overdraw the account and there are no high interest fees associated with a prepaid card.  In addition, there are no credit checks involved when signing up for a prepaid card.

So you ask…what is an easy solution to funding a prepaid card?  The answer is the Green Dot Credit Card because they are:

  • Easily found at local retailers
  • Come with no forms to fill out
  • No personal information is shared
  • Are easy to fund

The Green Dot Credit Card has the ability for you to:

  • Reload prepaid cards
  • Add money to a PayPal account without a bank account  
  • Make payments
  • Use it on Ebay
  • Check your balance easily

The method of using a Prepaid Card would be great for college students, teens learning to budget their money and individuals that yearn for a credit card, but are unable to obtain one.
