See A Doctor On Demand When You Can't Leave Your House #FeelBetter #IC #ad

Have you ever needed to go to the Dr. because you were sick but didn't have time to go? I know that sounds crazy but it does happen. I also know sometimes we are just too sick to leave the house or we have little ones and can't leave. Can you relate to this? I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Doctor On Demand. I received a free trial coupon code to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. 

Doctors On Demand is a health care service which allows you to see a doctor from your own home. When I say doctor, I truly mean a board certified physicians, psychologists, and lactation consultants. How is this possible? No, a doctor will not be knocking on your front door to come in and treat you but one will contact you via an app from your smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The app is quick to download. Once downloaded you provide your symptoms and will be connected to a licensed provider from your state for a video visit.

No insurance is needed and Doctors on Demand doesn't contact your insurance. It isn't a free service, of course! The first visit is FREE when you use my unique coupon code, CAFE15. After the initial visit you then pay $40 for a 15 minute Medical & Pediatrics visit and $50 for a 25 minute Psychologist session. These prices are amazing especially if you just need a quick visit for cold & flue symptoms, sore throat, UTI's, sports injuries, skin issues and rashes, diarrhea & vomiting and eye conditions. Have you ever gone to the emergency room for any of the above symptoms? If so you know that any visit will cost you hundreds more especially if you do not have any form of health insurance.

Besides the above symptoms, you can also be seen by lactation consultants and psychologist. Both of these professionals are readily available to give you a real-time, face-to-face video call from your home as well. As a mom with new baby, a readily available lactation consultants is a wonderful resource.

No matter what, you can have a confidential appointment that removes obstacles like time, money, distance, and even lack of ready available resources in your community. Remember that you can take advantage of the Doctors on Demand with a free visit. The first visit is FREE when you use my unique coupon code, CAFE15. It is super easy to download the app, set up your account, make an appointment and share symptoms. Once you do that you then pick a scheduled appointment time. 

My experience with Doctor on Demand was very positive. The app takes no time at all to download. Registeration and finding a doctor and time slot was quick and easy. When I picked my appointment I was able to get it right at the time I needed. The following day I realized I couldn't make my appointment and they gladly changed my time. Give it a try!

Help Mama and Babies Get Safe Birth Services #KanguMama #IC #ad

Are you pregnant or have you been pregnant? How concerned are you that you will have the medial care you need to help you throughout your pregnancy? What if you lived where you couldn't get any medical care for you and your unborn baby? Do you think that we should help pregnant women receive the medical care they need during and after childbirth? I had health insurance for my pregnancies but if I didn't it could have turned out badly for both myself and my babies. I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central and Kangu. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Have you ever heard of Kangu? It is a non-profit organization with a big dream. What is their dream? Kangu's is using the crowfunding platform to help every woman in the world has a safe birth and help put an end to preventable maternal and newborn deaths. They enable donors to support life-saving health services for pregnant women and their babies in need, globally. Did you know that every day, 800 women, nearly 300,000 per year, die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. Out of all these deaths, 99% of them occur in developing countries. 

Have you ever heard of "crowfunding"? Prior to this campaign I had never heard of this term. It refers to technology that enables individuals to come together as a community to jointly raise money for something they all believe in. Kangu's "safe birth" services refer to healthcare services (before, during and after delivery) that have proven to save the lives of mamas and their newborn babies. 

How amazing is this? Kangu offers safe birth services that have proven to reduce maternal and newborn deaths by up to 80%. I personally do not have any connection to this organization or one of the partnering countries but I am compelled to help them. When I was in college my favorite nursing rotation was with the pregnant moms, birthing moms and after care for babies. We do not know how lucky we are in the United States to have these readily available services even for people without healthy insurance. 

How about you? Is Kangu an organization you feel compelled to contribute toward? Leave a comment below and let me know what you think about the services available through Kangu.

Did you know that you can share all of this about Kangu to your friends on your social media sites and be entered to win one of five $100 donations on your behalf to a Kangu Mom. Isn't that amazing? Best giveaway ever! Enter below now through March 2nd.

40 Bags in 40 Days Declutter Challenge #MakeTime365

Today I started a new challenge, 40 Bags in 40 Days to declutter all areas of my life. This could be 40 super extra large bags of stuff to even 40 small grocery sacks. Who really cares what size bags you are carrying around but now is the time to throw away, declutter, and even giveaway things no longer needed.

What to join in? Every day I will share my bag or what I'm giving away or what I found when I was decluttering. I would love for you to join in and do the same! Share this post with your friends, too. I won't always make a blog post about it but will always share on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and sometimes Pinterest. So make sure you are following me! I'll use the hashtag #MakeTime365 which is the same hashtag I use to remind me daily to eat healthy and exercise. Are you seeing a trend here? All this is part of having a healthier lifestyle!

Why am I starting this today? Why not? Today is as good of day as any to get doing it. I've actually been wanting to clean out my old craft room that turned into a crap room years ago. Years ago I moved my craft stuff out of there and then it became the dumping ground for all things unwanted. It is a sad room and I want to declutter it and give things away, sell on local swaps and on Amazon.

Why do you want to start this journey with us?

• Follow me at SusieQTpies Cafe on Facebook for the daily challenge post. 
• Check in at my blog for post about the challenge.
• Follow on Twitter for reminders.
• Follow on Instagram for what I'm decluttering.

• If you are on a healthier lifestyle journey or ready to get on one, join my free Make Time for Healthier Lifestyle Journey on Facebook! 

Leave comments and photos on when and where you are sharing and I'll comment and follow back. Follow me in all my places up above and leave a comment so I can follow you back!

Now go declutter that bag! Oh and if you find your way here and it is no longer day 1, then join us on the current day or start your own day 1 and still follow along!

Ditch The Ick Before and After Exercising #TRYDRY

If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest,Twitter, and/or a regular blog reader then you know that I LOVE exercising. Not only do I love it, I'm a health coach. So I do my own exercising and I help others exercise, too! Six days a week I sweat. I don't just sweat tiny drop, I actually sweat very large drops and my clothes are wet. Knowing how sweating I get, I do my best to ditch the ick even before I start exercising. I do not mind the sweat as I consider that a good workout for me but I do NOT WANT to smell. How about you? Thanks to Global Influence for sponsoring this post. My own words and opinions are expressed here.

There was one time I remember when I forgot to add on extra deodorant before working out. So I had to take a few swipes of a friend's deodorant. I was grossed out at having to rub someone else's antiperspirant under my arms. That was the last time I ever forgot to use my own before or after working out. Has this ever happened to you?

Have you heard about the NEW Dry Spray Antiperspirants from Degree Men, Degree Women, Dove, Dove Men+Care and Axe, which are available at Walmart? 

I have been testing out the new Degree MotionSense Dry Spray Fresh Energy scent which is perfect for my active lifestyle. 

• I absolutely love that it is a dry spray that I can added before or after a workout. Because it is a dry spray it is less gross to share it with a friend because it doesn't roll on. 
• I also love that it last 48 hours which guarantees constant coverage. 
• No more visible residue which rubs off on to all my clothes!
• Goes on instantly dry!

So have you heard of the new Dryspray? Are you going to go grab a bottle? 

Next time you are going to get all sweaty, ditch the ick before and or after with this new Dryspray! I'm all about sweating and really believe it is fat crying while I exercise!
