5 Things to Consider When Contemplating Dental Work

Check out this great info about dental work!

I have had my share of dental work done so this article covers a lot of important information to consider when needing dental work.

Maybe you need corrective work for a cavity or overbite. Maybe you're just thinking about bleaching your teeth for a better, whiter smile. Whatever your reasons for considering dental work, here are just five things to keep in mind as you do.


1. Insurance

What dental offices are within your network? More importantly, what procedures are covered by your policy? Some might fall under the "cosmetic" umbrella, so even if you genuinely need them, you might have to jump through some hoops to get them comped by your insurance company. Make sure that you do your research in advance to avoid any unpleasant surprises down the line.


2. Reviews and Recommendations

If you aren't sure where to get started with your search for a good dental practitioner, ask around. Your friends and family should have some names for you. You can also check out user-submitted reviews on sites like Google and Yelp; they'll tell you which offices are clean, punctual and staffed by friendly people.


3. Recovery Time

Don't be afraid to call the dental practice and ask detailed questions about procedures, side effects and recovery times. If you're a corporate manager who needs to be right back in the office after lunch, you can't afford to spend hours in the chair or under the influence of painkillers. If it will take you awhile to be yourself again after a dental procedure, you might need to schedule it for the weekend.


4. Legitimacy

When comparing and contrasting dental offices, look for signs of legitimacy as a brand. Anyone can hang a shingle and declare themselves open for business; if you're serious about finding a licensed, reputable specialist, you'll need to do a little digging. Where did they go to school? Are they members of any industry organizations or dental networks? What certificates are hanging on their walls?


5. Consultation

Last but certainly not least, always schedule a face-to-face visit with your dental practitioner before actually surrendering yourself to their hands. If you aren't completely comfortable with their personality and professionalism, it's okay to thank them for their time and find someone else. Never jump into dental work without having a consultation first.


Whether you're looking for a dentist, orthodontist or something else entirely, let these tips guide you down your chosen path. Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you, so it's important that it's a good one!

Foot Reflexology Made Easy

Before you, reach for medicine, try a foot massage. Your feet are more than just for walking. They are a map for healing your body. A simple foot massage is more than just for helping tired feet feel good but it may also help keep your body healthy.

 Have you ever experienced a foot massage? A foot massage is what most people desire after being on their feet all day. Massaging the feet can help tired sore feet feel better. Your sore feet always feel better after you rub them with your hands.

 At the end of a long day, many people enjoy receiving a foot massage.  Foot massages can aid relaxation and may relieve muscle aches. The benefits of a foot massage can include relaxation, sleep aid, and improved mental health.

Ready to take your foot massage to the next level with Foot Reflexology?

What is foot reflexology?

 A Reflexology Massage is A Foot Massage for Your Whole Body Your feet contain many reflex points and each reflex point corresponds to different organs and areas of the human body. A foot reflexology treatment can induce healing in these body parts. Some foot reflexologists even say that a good foot massage with pressure on these specific reflex points on the foot can help alleviate some ailments relating to that body organ.

Reflexology relies on a believed connection between specific pressure points throughout the body. 

Your feet are a map of your body's health

The image above is an example of a reflexology foot chart or map. It shows which part of the foot connects to each organ or area of the body. There’s a spot on the reflexology foot chart for every organ or system in the body. A reflexologist can treat specific parts of your body by targeting that area of the foot through a foot reflexology treatment that includes pressure on these points.

Is there a difference between a foot massage and foot reflexology?

While it may seem that a foot massage is the same as foot reflexology, they are not the same. 

+ Foot massage therapy is the manipulation of tissues to relax the muscles, relieve tension, and improve circulation. This can improve overall health and well-being.

+ Reflexology, on the other hand, uses a targeted, pressure-point massage to restore the flow of energy throughout the body. 

Benefits of Foot Reflexology

 Reflexology can address anything from headaches to sinus problems to stomach issues. Applying pressure to certain points on the feet helps with the flow of blood, nutrients, and nerve impulses to these body parts. This ultimately improves overall health and balance. 

Potential benefits of reflexology:

+ Cleanse the body of toxins

+ Boost the immune system

+ Increase circulation

+ Promote healing

Foot Reflexology Made Easy At Home

 One might think that they need a foot reflexology specialist to have a reflexology treatment on their feet but with some learning, you can experience the benefits of foot reflexology at home. Are you ready for your first lesson in foot reflexology?

 Foot reflexology is nothing new, it has been around for a long time. Take a look at the foot reflexology chart and find the places where it says intestines and stomach. Now with your hands rub and push on those spots. Do you feel your stomach moving? Pretty amazing!

 Keep rubbing those spots and apply pressure. If your intestines have built up gas, this treatment can help your body expel the gas. 

Why walking is good for the body

When you walk or run you are kind of giving your body a foot massage. You may even be applying pressure on your foot reflexology points. When you walk your foot pressure points are being activated. You can activate these pressure points even more by walking barefoot on smooth rocks. 

Discover a wonderful way to massage your feet and stimulate your foot pressure points

A Deep Shiatsu Foot Massager can take your foot reflexology routine one step further. A Deep Shiatsu Foot Massager gives amazing foot massages with the touch of a button. The best part is no hands are needed. The foot massage device does all the work as it has massaging balls that move along the pressure points on your feet. So you will receive both a foot massage and a reflexology treatment. Look for a Deep Shiatsu Foot Massager with different speeds and heat to experience the best foot massage.

 A foot massage can be beneficial for the whole body. Your feet have many different pressure points that connect to different parts of the body. A foot massage can help your heart, brain, sinus, and so much more. A foot massager can apply pressure and massage these foot pressure points which benefits that part of the body. When you use a foot massage machine your hands are free to do other things. Let the foot machine for foot massages do the work and your hands will not get tired. It is simply amazing how a foot massage can help the overall well-being of your body. 

This wonderful deep foot massager allows me to work on the computer or watch TV and get a relaxing wonderful feeling foot massage. I just love how this feels so good product rubs all those pressure points on my feet, including the toes. Not only does this foot massager help with foot reflexology but it is also wonderful for tired achy feet.

Are you ready to experience the benefits of foot reflexology with a foot massage?

Healthy Snacks For Active Kids

My boys never slow down!

  My boys are out of school and home all day with me. My boys are bundles of energy and keep me going all day. My days are now spent playing at the park, going for bike rides, and swimming at the pool. My boys are also eating machines and seem to be hungry all the time. So I like to keep my kitchen stocked with healthy snacks that my boys can grab and go. Having grab and go snacks allow my boys to grab something to eat and my kitchen stays clean between meals. I am spoiled during the school year as they boys get free breakfast and lunch at school so my kitchen stays clean during the day.

    So take a look at some of my boy's favorite healthy snacks.

Sponsored post: I received samples of healthy products to facilitate this post.

After a long bike ride, my boys are hot and sweaty. So I like to have to stock my freezer with Hydrating Freezies that my boys can grab to cool down with. Since my boys did plenty of sweating, these frozen snacks help replenish their electrolytes with a delicious taste. Last year my boys had headaches when they did not consume enough water and I want to make sure that does not happen this year. I love that these Freezies contain real fruit juice and whole food electrolytes from coconut water and sea salt. They also have no added sugar, artificial colors or preservatives, or GMO’s. You can also rejoice that they are vegan and gluten free! My boys love the watermelon ice pops the best. My favorite flavor is the strawberry lemonade and the pineapple flavor is awesome too. 

  When we are not at the park or a bike ride, my boys are usually out front goofing around. Which is great for me so I can get some work done. That usually is short lived as one of them will say "I am hungry!" So I open the door and toss them a bag of Coconut Granola! This grain-free snack is addicting! I make sure to have several bags in the pantry as I love it more than the boys do. I love that this healthy snack is made without oil! It is simply a bag of delicious seeds, nuts, and coconut flakes that taste sweet but has very little sugar grams. Since the yummy snack is grain free, those who can't have gluten can enjoy it too. While my boys don't need the energy that this snack has, it sure does help me to keep up with them.

  Just look at those chunks of superfoods!  My favorite flavor is the Chocolate Coconola! I just love that that Grandy Oats uses Solar Panels to produce this awesome snack.

  Summer time means our bodies need more water. While my boys will drink water, it tends to get boring after a while so I like to treat my boys to flavored water. Their favorite flavored water for hot summer days is Aqua Ball. These cool shaped bottles make drinking water so fun and I don't have to worry about my boys becoming dehydrated. I love that the water is naturally flavored and my boys love all the delicious flavors like grape, fruit punch, and strawberry lemonade. My boys also get some healthy vitamins from these preservative free waters. My boys love drinking the Aqua Balls after a hot day in the sun.

            Flavored water tastes so good after a water gun fight.

          My boys just love the cool characters on the bottles! 

 Other snacks that I like to keep in the house are fresh fruit like grapes and strawberries. My boys love freezing the grapes for a refreshing snack. Some other snacks that you can always find in my fridge are yogurt, cheese sticks, and peanut butter sandwiches. I find that having plenty of healthy snacks that are easy for my boys to grab keeps my kitchen clean and my boys filled with energy so they can run around and enjoy their summer.

What healthy snacks do your active kids enjoy?

MANDISA OUT OF THE DARK CD Giveaway

Check out this awesome giveaway! 

Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway.  Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation.  I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.


  I have been of fan of Mandisa for quite some time. I was first introduced to her music on the radio when I heard her song Good Morning. I just loved this upbeat song so had to purchase her Get Up CD which had a bunch of remixes that help me when I exercise. I really run faster when I have Mandisa on my iPod. So when I heard that Mandisa was releasing another album, I just had to check it out as it had another favorite Mandisa song on it Unfinished. I really loved listening to Mandisa's voice on this her new OUT OF THE DARK CD. While this CD did not get me running faster, this music was great to listen to while I was getting some work done on my computer. This CD showed me a new side of Mandisa that was mellow yet refreshing as it lifted my spirits up.

Mandisa wrote her song “Overcomer” in 2013 to encourage her close friend Kisha, who was battling breast cancer. Mandisa really believed and prayed that God was going to heal her, but when Kisha went to be with Jesus in 2014, Mandisa’s foundation was shaken in a way she never expected. She fell into a deep pit of depression for close to 3 years, shutting out her friends, family and the rest of the world. Mandisa believes if she had kept going down that road she was on, she would not be here today… but God stepped in and lifted her out of that pit by using her close friends to communicate their love for her and God’s love for her. This album is Mandisa’s way of letting her fans into her story – it’s called 'Out Of The Dark' because that is exactly where God lifted her out of!

Get Your Kids On The Healthy Living Train

Pixabay

If you think it's time to get your family on board of the healthy living train - that's great. There are many ways you can encourage your family to keep fit and eat will, and most of it will be starting with yourself, and showing everyone just how simple it is.

So let's start today!

Healthy eating

If you're the one that does the cooking at home, then it'll be your job to make healthy meals that everyone will want to eat, and this is where you have to be clever.

It's no good just putting a whole bunch of veg on the plate for dinner. If you have young children, then this just isn't going to cut it. So this is where you're going to have to be creative. You will need to find ways of feeding your children fruit and veg while making it look appealing and taste good.

Try baking carrots for a sweet treat, of cut them as finely as possible and mix them in with their favorite food. If you make it look like something else, they may not even realize what they're eating. And once they admit they like it, you can tell them what it was. Consider making fruit smoothies too; these go down a treat.

Keeping fit

A lot of kids have no problem with staying fit because they are always on the go, running around and playing. But if your child isn't as active as they should be, you will want to try and change that.

On the weekend, get out of the house and take your kids to the park for a game of soccer, or go swimming. They won't be seeing it as exercise; they'll see it as going out and playing!

If you have no time to go out during the weekday, why not bring the fun to your home? Have a look at this guide for choosing the best bike exercise stand. Bikes are a great way to exercise on, as it works a lot of different muscles in your body, plus you can do it while watching tv! So lead by example and have a good session on it. When your kids start asking what that is and if they can have a go - you have succeeded.

It's not about dieting and working out- they're children, they don't need to do that. This is just a way you can encourage living a healthy lifestyle through positive influences.

The way you talk in front of your kids will have a big impact on the way they see things. So if you're very critical of your body, or someone else's, whether it's just a little comment or full on fat shaming, your child will be taking all this in, and start getting insecurities about their own body. So you should always talk in a positive way, even if you don't necessarily believe it - your child will.

So get to the grocery store and fill your shopping cart full of delicious fruit and veg. Well, what are you waiting for?
