It's that time of the year again...time to celebrate the women in our lives, our Mothers! Neeed some gift ideas? Want to whip up a special, healthy meal for Mom? Women's Day Online has some great tips, recipes, crafts and more to make this Mother's Day the most memorable yet.If you're a UnitedHealthcare member, I found out some awesome news yesterday too! UHC has teamed up with 1800Flowers.com to offer its members a 15 percent discount on flowers for Mother's Day and thoughout the year. UHC members, click here for more information on obtaining your discount.
If you're not a big fan of sending flowers, you might consider something a little more therapeutic, like a massage. If your Mom is anything like mine, she rarely takes the time to pamper herself, so this year I decided to schedule a mother/daughter massage to celebrate Mother's Day the relaxing way! The health benefits of massage are also a plus. Some studies have found massage helpful for the following:
- Stress relief (who doesn't need a little of this every now and then?)
- Managing anxiety and depression
- Pain
- Stiffness
- Blood pressure control
- Infant growth
- Sports-related injuries
- Boosting immunity
- Cancer treatment

Rest assured, whatever you decide to do for the special women in your life, they are sure to appreciate the thought & the effort!
Until Next Week,
