Blue Cross Blue Shield Out of Their Mind

Categories:  Uncategorized
Tags: ,

Really? A 39% Increase? Unexplained? Shame on you Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Healthy Insurance — my one gripe in life. And, I’m healthy! In fact, I’m a health care professional. Everyday I teach and coach other people to create a healthy lifestyle. Every day I make good choices about what I eat. I exercise. I eat healthy foods. I don’t get sick. I barely use the health care system. I don’t take medications. Yet, I can barely afford to have insurance to protect my family “Just in Case.” And, the only way it’s affordable is because my deductible is so high. Incredibly high. It really can’t go any higher. So now what?

So, Blue Cross Blue Shield, you want to increase my rates by 39%??? Why???
I’m not sick enough for you?

This time it’s not going to happen so easily. The public is sick and tired of being taken advantage of by the healthcare industry. Your gluttony is atrocious. And, you just posted record profits this year. Wow, when does it end. It ends when the PEOPLE SAY IT ENDS.

The time is now for everyone to stand up and fight this increase. Whether you have BCBS or not open your mouth. Sign a petition. Send a letter to your legislatures. Write a note to the media. If BCBS gets away with this they’ll do it again and so will every other health insurance company.

Mr. Obama, where are you? We need you and fast to step in and stop this insanity.

Oh, and you Blue Cross Blue Shield employees — how do you sleep at night knowing what your company is doing? How do you answer calls from your insured clients and not cry knowing that many of them will have to drop coverage because they can’t afford these ridiculous rates? Do you voice concerns to your employer? Or, do you allow them to let you be the punching bag? How do you take phone calls of crying clients having to drop their coverage for themselves and their children and still sleep peacefully at night?

DO SOMETHING NOW. Sign the petition to stop BCBS here.

Don’t stand by and think your neighbor will do something about this. Take action. Don’t be an onlooker to this awful situation facing our society. Be proactive and take action right now by clicking the link above and voicing your concern and your anger.

Avoid the Dead Aisles at the Grocery Store

Do you know what I mean? Let’s take a look at the way a grocery store is laid out. The fresh, natural (aka LIVE) foods are displayed around the perimeter of the store. Foods that have life-force need special shelving and cases that enable them to stay fresh for as long as possible. Life gives life. Food with life are usually healthier for you.

Let’s take a look at the interior aisles of most grocery stores. This is where the packaged, processed, canned, (aka DEAD) foods are housed. These food do not have any life-force left to share with you. They do not Read the rest of this entry »

Why Professional Facials are beneficial

Categories:  Beauty, Skincare, Stress Reduction, spa treatments
Tags: , , ,

There are many reasons to get a professional facial. There are so many products to choose from for your skin, it can be very confusing for the consumer.  Professional skin therapists are licensed and trained to analyze and treat the skin according to the needs of the client.  We are your essential link to having healthy, beautiful skin.

First, you will learn about your skin and what you can do to improve the appearance of it.

Secondly, facials also improve the circulation in your skin and increase cellular turnover.  Our cell turnover decreases over time, so this is beneficial for your skin.

Also, facials can improve production of collagen by using specific products in the treatment room. You can benefit from facials if you have breakouts, hyperpigmentation, lack of firmness or more lines than you care to have.

And most of all,  facials will reduce stress and give you the results you are looking for!!!  Chronic stress is a major factor in skin issues today. Take some time out for yourself, and treat yourself to an amazing treatment! Schedule your visit with a professional Skin Therapist today.

Green Tea Benefits

I’d like to welcome Ada Pappanicholas as a contributing writer for the blog.  Ada’s specialty is
in skincare, makeup and personal training.  Today you’ll be treated to Ada’s first blog of many to come.
Enjoy and let us know what you think.

Contributed by Ada Pappanicholas
Green Tea is good for you in many ways.  It contains catechins which create a thermogenic effect. Green tea contains EGCG. This indirectly affects the way in which hormones attack fat stores. Normally, your body fights fat loss by curbing the work of enzymes that initiate the process of burning energy. EGCG blocks this so the enzymes can stimulate fat burning. Catechins aid the EGCG in this process and helps keep your fat fighting are running fully and effectively. The caffiene in green tea is also helpful in this process.
Look for products with a large amount of green tea. Some of the bottled teas out there have a very small amount in them.  The best thing to do is to brew your own and chill it.  Or, as one of my clients does, and it’s a great idea,  roll up a bag an drop it in your water bottle. The tea bag will steep in the bottle. This way you will get the full benefit of the Green Tea.
