Did you know that you can get a free look at your health with a short screening at CVS? The fun part to me… if you get a screening you’ll also get a $5 coupon towards anything in the store (except prescriptions) and a free tote bag. They don’t have screenings in every area, but if they are in your city it’s worth it to stop in! Find an event in your area.
The health screening will test:
Blood Pressure
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Glucose
Total Cholesterol
Oral/Dental Care (select events)
Just the cholesterol test alone makes this a deal for us. I already know it’s something we should be watching, but getting to the doctor for labs isn’t always easy with 4 kids.
I just realized I’m a week late on posting the new Commissary ad! Luckily these are all still good for another week.

The following is part of an Organic Living Journey Guest Post Series now written by Mariana who has a mother’s heart and scientist’s brain.
Last week we began our journey through sugar-alternatives with aspartame. Today, we’re moving on to the most popular artificial sweetener, Splenda and sucralose. Unlike aspartame, sucralose is not a byproduct of E. coli – yay! So let’s take a look at the facts and learn some more about this little sweetener.
What is Splenda?
-Splenda is an artificial, sucralose-based sweetener|
-Splenda is actually 95% dextrose and maltodextrin and only 5% sucralose. Why? The dextrose and maltodextrin are used for bulk and volume, since pure sucralose is 600x sweeter than sugar.
-To put that into perspective, 1/8 teaspoon of 100% pure, uncut sucralose is equivalent to 1.5 cups of sugar.
-The bulking agents, dextrose and maltodextrin, are mildly sweet and add calories and carbs.
-Maltodextrin is derived from starch and is usually corn-based but may also be derived from wheat. It is processed as glucose in the body.
-Dextrose is a simple sugar and another form of glucose. Food manufacturers use dextrose in place of sugar, especially in candies. It’s the primary ingredient in Pixy Stix.
-Splenda is available in packets and in bulk.
-Thanks to the bulking agents, Splenda exchanges 1:1 for sugar.
-Sucralose is not calorie-free. Technically, sucralose is still a sugar and has calories. However, it doesn’t occur naturally in nature, therefore, the human body isn’t programmed to process it.

As many of you know, I ran my first 5K with my 8 year old girls a couple of weeks ago. We chose to do The Color Run and we had a blast. How could we pass up the opportunity to run the happiest 5k on the planet?
We all had a blast! The race organizers are out to make it a ton of fun and I think they succeed at that. From color check points through out the race that douse you with a particular color to a huge “color festival” at the end with lots of colors flying, you will leave a little happier than you came and much more colorful.
For any that aren’t really into running, I would say at the Augusta location a few weeks ago there were actually more walkers than runners. Folks were out in groups or just with friends and having a blast. I was actually surprised how many kids were participating, and how family friendly the race was. As we went through color stations the folks running each station made sure the kids were having a blast giving them high fives and extra color.
My only problem… now my girls want our next race to be that much fun.
If you’re worried that you’re going to be the only one running your first race, don’t be! 60% of The Color Run racers are entering a 5k for the first time. So, grab a friend and get ready for a fun day out of your norm. It’s fun to set a goal and see yourself achieve it. Racers range from 2-80, so bring all ages to the race with you! When you register in a team of 4 or more, tickets are another $5 cheaper.
Enough talk! Set a goal and let’s do this! Get signed up for a race near you. Use the code COLOR5OFF to get $5 off your ticket purchase! Personally I think the Australia race sounds great…
