Sleep IS Coming with this Nodical Bed Giveaway!

This is a sponsored post with Nodical Bed and New Thought Marketing. All opinions are my own.

Over the past few years I have realized that I am more resilient than I thought – I can actually survive on less sleep than ever before. But here’s the catch, I need that sleep to be good. I don’t want to toss and turn to try to get comfortable. I don’t want to wake up every hour on the hour with a pain in my back or side, and then try to get comfortable and back to sleep again. I don’t want to throw the covers off because I’m on fire, then wake p fifteen minutes later because I’m cold.  I need to feel like I actually slept; not that I just tried to.
That’s why I am so excited about the Nodical Energex Memory Foam mattresses. The creators of the Nodical Energex mattress created these beds to help solve common sleep problems that they were experiencing themselves. The Energex memory foam and ThermaGel beads are the secret to their success in creating these luxurious beds which are far better in quality than any others on the market.

They are so confident that you will love the sleep you are getting on these that they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Try out the bed for 100 nights and if you don’t love it, they’ll come pick it up and give you a full refund.

I absolutely love that you can shop online for the mattress of your choice (they make 3 different kinds to fit your needs) and they deliver it to your door for FREE. I don’t know of any other mattress company that delivers for free – that right there makes me want to order one right now!

Earn Money Back with Shop Your Way® Kmart Pharmacy Rewards

Tracking Pixel

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kmart® Pharmacy.

Most of you know I’m a big fan of Shop Your Way® – I love all the great deals I find, plus I’ve also won some awesome sweepstakes through them too! Well Shop Your Way® and Kmart® have announced the new Shop Your Way® Pharmacy Rewards Program that keeps on giving! Members will get $10 back in points* (10,000 points) for every five qualifying prescriptions filled in a rolling 12-month period.

Kmart_Pharmacy

When it comes to prescriptions, you have to get them somewhere. If you are like me, you’ve called and shopped around to find out pretty much everyone has the same prices when it comes to your insurance plan for prescriptions. So why not choose a company that gives back from choosing them?!

Kmart_pharmacy_rewards

Here’s a little info on how it works:

Shop Your Way® members will earn points every time they fill five qualifying prescriptions, including pet meds and immunizations.
You’ll receive automatic updated each time you fill a qualified prescription at a Kmart Pharmacy. Make sure to always use your account number, or the phone number associated with your Shop Your Way® account so the prescription is automatically applied towards your reward.
Progress towards your reward can be tracked three ways:  1. you can login to your rewards account at kmartpharmacy.com/rewards  2. you will receive a receipt at checkout showing your progress and 3. you can opt in for e-mail updates (my favorite).
Your Pharmacy Reward points are usually available to redeem during the next transaction after your  final prescription purchase. One you receive your reward points, they are valid for 14 days so make sure that you are keeping an eye on them so you don’t miss out!
You can use your Pharmacy Reward Points for qualifying non-pharmacy purchases at any Kmart or Sears – both in store and online. The other great thing? There is no limit to the number of rewards you can earn in a year! So the more prescriptions that are filled through Kmart pharmacy using your Shop Your Way® account, the more rewards you earn!

Be sure to enroll for the Shop Your Way® Kmart Pharmacy Rewards Program at any Kmart pharmacy or online at: kmartpharmacy.com/rewards

Straight Talk about Bladder Leakage #Underwareness

You don’t have to be eighty years old to worry about bladder leakage – it happens to the best of us. (thank you children!) My worst fear – having issues while at the gym. I mean how can you control something you’re already having a problem with when you are jogging on the treadmill? (Yes this happened to me – thankfully I was at my home gym, not in public!)

Seriously this happens to a lot of ladies – don’t believe me? Studies show:

• More people suffer with bladder leakage are in their 20’s than their 80’s??! (See I told ya’!)
• The average age of someone with bladder leakage is only 52!
• More people have bladder leakage that are 50 or younger than 60 or older!!

Depends wants to bring the #underwareness to light with their new Depend Silhouette Active Fit briefs. The Active Fit briefs have a lower rise+ for an underwear-like look, fit and feel, and they are available in black and beige colors.

Depends is offering a FREE SAMPLE of their Active Fit briefs for you to try! Just fill out the form and get a sample and a $2 OFF coupon for a future purchase.
