If you are person who likes to travel, hike, camp, fish, hunt, etc. and it seems like you just do not have the energy or stamina that you once did… you are not alone. As we become older our bodies start to wear out causing inflammation to set in. This is signaled by aches and pains we experience. It is true you cannot stop the aging process but you can slow it down and help to alleviate those aches and pains. Pain is caused by inflammation in the body so if you can alleviate the inflammation you can lessen the pain. There are antioxidant supplements which can help to neutralize inflammation thus lessening the pain.

One such wellness drink, Nopalea which is pronounced “No-pah lay’uh”, can help to alleviate pain. Derived from the Nopal cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica) it has been handed down as a healing agent through the centuries. The power in Nopalea comes from the Betalains, a rare antioxidant, and other nutrients. These high-powered antioxidants give the wellness drink the ability to neutralize toxins and inflammation. As it helps to cleanse toxins from the body it promotes overall health. This can be extremely useful for people who suffer from body aches as well as inflammation in the respiratory, arterial and digestive tracts. This 12 year old company has sold over 3 million 32-ounce bottles of the wellness drink. If you are interested in trying this product there is a free trial in which you only pay $9.95 for shipping by calling 1-800-203-7063.

It will not be long before the kids get out of school and will be ready to get away for some fun. One place I liked visiting but have not been to in a long time is California. With its warm weather, beautiful shores, mountainous regions and beautiful vistas it is an ideal location to take a spring break. You can experience a once in a life time vacation with plenty to do for the children as well as the adults in the family.

It might even be a great time to plan one of those cross country excursions across America, all the way to California. I have often thought of renting a big RV and taking off from our home on the east coast and traveling all the way to the west coast. That would be a family vacation to remember. The kids can experience the wonders of Disneyland while in California as well. They would have a ball and get to see areas of America they may never get to see again. So, make your plans to take off to California, buy a couple Disneyland tickets and let the kids go wild at Disneyland on your unique spring vacation.

We got Dish TV last year so my husband could get all the Derby specials. He’s really, really into the Kentucky Derby for some reason and I knew he was going to want to stay up all night the night before figuring out who his favorite was and making sure he had all his bets placed. I think it’s important to note that we’ve never lived in Kentucky nor has my husband probably ever even seen a horse – I don’t know where he got this love from but I would bet it has something to do with gambling! I really wish I could figure out a way to get him into more normal stuff like football or baseball or whatever but you know, I can’t believe he doesn’t want to even go to sports bars or cheer on his alma mater. All he wants to do is watch the Triple Crown events year after year!

Friday night happy hour with the girlfriends is a fun ending to a busy work week. Three or more of us meet each week to recount our week, catch up on our lives, and listen to music, dine and enjoy cocktails together. We are very close so our topics of conversation can range from our sex lives to our grandchildren! It is important to have those friends in your life who do not judge you but love you for the person you are, warts and all, and in whom you can confide. One friend is purchasing a new home in a different area of the city from where she lives now. The new house is a bit closer to her grandchildren and their school district. She has never had a security system in her home but now wants one. So, the last time we gathered, we spent a good deal of time on the topic. The rest of us have security systems and explained to her the peace of mind that comes with having a security system in your home. She is now going to make home security system comparison and have one installed.

There is nothing more aggravating than to be late for an event because you are unaware of the time. Sometimes it is important to be able to keep up with more than one time zone at once. You may have a business to run in which you must know the time in your home location while traveling in another time zone. If this is true then it is important to wear a watch which can show time in multiple time zones. It is important to wear a watch while traveling which can take the abuse also.

A good quality watch can be a prized possession as well as a functional mechanism. Watches that show the date as well as time are also very useful during travel. It can be very useful if the watch includes an alarm function as well. The problem with most watches is they cost so much, it is unfeasible to purchase them or they are cheap and inaccurate. It is important to consider cost but not at the expense of quality when purchasing a travel watch. Invicta watches seem to be able to fit the bill of price and functionality. These can be found online and some companies even provide free shipping.

It has really been a mild winter here in the US. Good news right but you may be like me and tired of having to stay in the house. I am ready to get out and go somewhere interesting. Trying to think of somewhere nice to visit, Hawaii came to mind. Hawaii is always beautiful anytime of the year. Closing my eyes I could see its clear blue water, warm sandy beaches and celebration everywhere.

I was looking online for places to go in Hawaii and Kauai popped up. Kauai is extremely charming with its soaring cliffs, picturesque waterfalls and gorgeous beaches. You will have no problem spending a week or even a month here and not see it all. There are no tall skyscraper motels, hotels or buildings in Kauai. It is a laid back atmosphere which is inviting for any traveler. I ran across Puu Poa condos, a vacation condo complex, which looks like a nice place to stay. If you are looking for a winter time getaway check out Kauai.

It has been many years since I have been there and I was just thinking the other day about places I may want to visit in the upcoming months. St. Louis came to mind and I was thinking about all the things there are to do there. St. Louis has a host of things sights and experiences to be had. There is a chance to do some great sightseeing in St. Louis. The best place to get a bird’s eye view of the city is by taking a 630-foot ride to the top of the world-famous Gateway Arch. Next up is the beautiful 79 acres of lush gardens, landscape architecture, greenhouses and conservatories at the Missouri Botanical Garden one of the United States’ oldest botanical gardens.

If you love sports then you have to go to see the 10-time World champions St. Louis Cardinals at the new Busch Stadium during the spring and summer seasons. If you are looking for entertainment there is the never ending Six Flags St. Louis theme park. One of the city’s many free attractions is the Saint Louis Zoo. It has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading zoological parks. Next on the agenda has to be the cuisine in St. Louis. From the thin crust pizza smothered in Provel cheese to the gooey butter cake. St. Louis has menus to satisfy most everyone’s taste. While there you have to try the deep-fried toasted ravioli and the frozen custard.

Now, moving on to the nightlife. St. Louis has some of the hottest nightclubs and STL Bars anywhere. Most are smoke free and stay open until 3 am. You can truly dance and party to you drop. Sometimes when you are in St. Louis you just have to ask yourself what is a bar? You may have never experienced a bar like the ones in St. Louis. If you are looking for somewhere special to go which is full of entertainment, sights, sounds, shopping, food and a fantastic nightlife then consider St. Louis for your final destination.

Time is really hard for people since the economy has taken a nosedive into the sewer. With high unemployment as well as escalating food and gas costs it really makes it hard on people. Not only are these costs on the rise but so are the costs of medications. It makes it extremely hard on people which have to take medications and do not have insurance. It is extremely hard to afford insurance if you do not work for a company which has a group plan. Well,  when you think things cannot get any better there may be some help just around the corner.

Walgreens has realized that people are hurting and need help with their finances. They have created a new medication discount plan called the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. This plan can really help to lower the cost of medications especially for people which do not have insurance. The cost is only $35 per year for a family membership which includes the immediate family, spouse and any children 22 years old or younger. It even includes the family pets. They also have an individual plan for only $20 per year. The plan covers savings on over 8,000 brand-name medications and all generic medications. You can also get other discounts and specials with the club membership. To find out more follow Walgreens on Facebook and  Walgreens on Twitter.

With the way the economy has been the last couple of years, I have been trying to save as much money as possible when I go out grocery shopping. I started cutting out coupons from the Sunday paper, and also I cut them out from all those little flyers that you get in the mail every week. If you get you some type of binder to organize all the coupons, you can really save a lot of money in the stores. You just have to set your mind to it and remember to take the binder with you every time you go shopping. My daughter who is married is much more into couponing than I am. She has a new baby and is having to buy diapers all the time. Those things are so much more expensive than they were when my children were wearing them. I get coupons emailed to me all the time. I always forward them to her because she really needs them more than I do. She was telling me about a program she saw on her DIRECTV about people who do extreme couponing. These people will go out and buy a ton of stuff and end up spending next to nothing. I think they must spend all day every day figuring out where they are going to shop and what they are going to buy. But a lot of them stockpile stuff that they don’t even need. I am pretty sure that I will never get like that because I don’t like a lot of junk sitting around plus I don’t have the space to store it all.
