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.

Music: Therapy for the Soul

I received compensation from Recovery Unplugged for this sponsored post, any opinions expressed by me are honest and reflect my actual experience.

Music

Did you know that using music can be a catalyst to break down defenses to help facilitate, motivate and inspire the change necessary for long-term recovery and sobriety? Many drug treatment centers , rehabilitation centers, and psychologist use music as therapy.

There are many ways that music can help heal your body and soul, such as:

Reduce stress levels, and encourage relaxation
Music also has been said to protect the heart
Lower blood pressure
Improve communications for those with autism
Helps treat hypertension
Reduces muscle tension
It boost your immune system
Improve concentration levels, and create a optimistic state of mind
Help people deal with anxiety
Helps reduce the pain in chronic pain sufferers
Reduces the feeling of loneliness
Prevents boredom
Assist with the pain of labor and delivery for Moms
Helps those battling with depression and addiction

My daughter has extreme anxiety, and music is the only thing that can calm her down. I was the same way when I was pregnant with her, and I know that music (the right kind) will always have a calming effect on her and her emotions. When we are both upset or arguing (after all who doesn’t argue with teenagers) I tell her to take a walk or go up to her room and listen to music on her phone – and within an hour (or sometimes minutes) she comes down to apologize, and she’s a completely different person.

Music is an amazing healer – you need to try it for yourself!
