It is cheap to take out generally speaking – obviously if you plan on doing dangerous activities while away it costs more, but for your general ‘sit around on the beach’ type holiday it is cheap to insure yourself and you get a great sense of reassurance from knowing that should something go wrong, money isn’t going to be one of the things you need to worry about.

Have you heard about clipix? A few of my friends were talking about it in the office last week and it sounded like something that would be ideal for me – so I checked it out as soon as I got home and now I only wish I had known about it sooner, or that it had been around several years ago!

You can create clipboards of any thing you fancy – just for fun, to organise yourself and your family,

Some great things about Clipix include that you can set custom privacy levels for your clipboards – so you can have those you don't mind the whole world seeing or those just intended for yourself or a group of friends, work mates or family. You can also sign up via Facebook or Twitter so you don't even need to enter details and your actions can automatically be posted to your social networking sites. You can even use the Syncboards that allow multiple users to edit the content. If you run a website you can add a button to make it easier for your users to clip your content. Plus they already have a great iPhone app so you can do every thing on the move

I have already created a few boards myself – of things I would like to do in 2012, of some yummy recipes I would like to try and of some of my favourite online games but I plan to do so much more with it and build up a great clipix profile over the next few weeks and months.

Are you guys going to sign up? If you do we could do some syncboards together – share recipes, health tips, workouts etc

If you still need more information take a peek at the youtube video below and prepare to have your online life changed forever

It’s a 12 week work out program that has cardio, hiit, strength, toning, sculpting, core and every thing in between – you follow a schedule daily and I love it.

“When I say Turbo, you say FIRE – Turbo – FIRE – Turbo – Fire”
I don’t know what it is about it that makes me love it, I have followed many work out videos and regimes over the years and they have all been a chore, but I look forward to my Turbofire classes every day. I like the host, I like the calorie burn I get out of it, I like the music.

The only class I don’t like is ‘stretch 40′, that sucks. It’s basically just yoga and I have never been one for yoga.

I already completed the 12 week program and have now moved on to the advanced classes for another 12 weeks. Also thankfully after that there is another Turbofire course called ‘extreme’ so I have several months of new and exciting Turbofiring ahead of me

I did not lose any weight during the first 12 weeks I did Turbofire but that’s because my diet wasn’t great – it was mainly over the Christmas period and I definitely gave in to temptation for a few months there. I managed to lose inches though and at this stage in my weight loss journey I think that is more important – yes I would like to lose a few more pounds and am always on the look out for Workout Tips to help me get there, but it’s not the most important thing to me any more.

Fitness, health and challenging myself are more important that what the scale says. And that’s something I never thought I would hear myself saying.

So seriously, if you are in to your fitness and looking for a new challenge you can do at home check out Turbofire guys!

Have you heard the news about Walgreens and Express Scripts? I hadn't until a few days ago when a friend of mine was talking about it and trying to explain it to me, I looked up some information about it online and did some reading so I could fully understand what it was all about. Basically Walgreens and Express Scripts were unable to come to an agreement and continue their working relationship with each other. As a result people are having to find new pharmacists that are much less convenient for them – causing stress and unease completely unnecessarily.

To help ease the burden on regular hard working people they have created the Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens where you can get a special discount on annual memberships and for only $35 a year your whole family, including spouse and pets, will be covered and can benefit from savings on thousands of generic medications and even photofinishing services. If you only wish to cover yourself it is as little as $20 for individual cover. It sounds like a really great deal and it shows that Walgreens really cares about it's customers.

If you are interested in following the story then why not follow Walgreens on Twitter and keep up to date with the frequent tweets, or find Walgreens on Facebook to show your support.

I also discourage pharmaceuticals when and wherever possible, as there are many plant based alternatives that can be very effective in countering certain health problems.

With all of that in mind, I find the Nopalea wellness drink I have been hearing a lot about recently quite interesting. Also, you can consider trying to get a Planet Drugs discount.

I had not previously heard of the Nopal cactus, nor the name Opuntia Ficus Indica, but when I looked up more information on the plant, my suspicions were confirmed: this is the cactus also known as the Prickly Pear, which is native to my home region, the Sonoran desert.

With the help of Nopal cactus extracts, Nopalea is packed with rare and potent antioxidants that are scientifically proven to help the body reduce inflammation.

TriVita claims that when you take Nopalea daily, it can help your body:
Reduce inflammation
Cleanse itself of daily toxins
Promote optimal health

Seeing as though the anti-oxidants contained in this drink have been proven to help with inflammation (the leading cause of pain), I can see this product being a very helpful plant-based solution that could help many people. In addition, I personally LOVE the taste of the prickly pear cactus fruit, so it’s very likely that I would enjoy the taste of this wellness drink. I’m certainly looking forward to trying out Nopalea for myself in the near future.

Over 3 million bottles of the Nopalea anti-inflammatory wellness drink have been sold. To learn more, check out the Nopalea Facebook page or try it for free (only pay $9.95 for shipping) by calling 1-800-203-7063.

Everyone has a widget available these days don't they? I remember when hardly any one ever knew what they were and only the 'geeks' made or used them. The reason there are so many though is of course because they are incredibly useful and beneficial for both the people using them and the company offering them.

Here's the latest widget I have been having fun with from ING Direct – I love the fact that you can use it to find out how much households in your area are saving. You can also use the handy 'my comparison table' to find out how much you could be saving – why not give it a go and leave a comment to let us know?

I have had a few Savings Accounts with ING Direct for years now and always found them fair and good to deal with – on the odd occasion I have needed to get in touch with their customer service team it's always been a pain free experience and that can only be a good thing after hearing a lot of the rants my friends have when they need to get in touch with their banks.

I have been reading loads of Cosmetics Tips and Make Up Tutorials on cosmohut.com recently, it’s a really great site for women to chat and share and learn from each other. I enjoy it there a lot and am pleased they have so much information about make up as I feel I have a lot to learn
