CT Folk Fest & Green Expo and Kia EcoDynamics Events

I’ll be arriving in style in the Kia Niro! You too will be able to check out Kia’s EcoDynamic vehicles, of Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and EV vehicles. All-electric vehicles (EVs) are 100% electric and 100% gas-free. Learn how owning an electric vehicle may help you save money and reduce air pollution caused by harmful emissions.

Are you a green conscious family or do you want to be eco-friendly while running errands or traveling to work?

Kia is recognized as one of the Best Global Green Brands and helps us steer toward a green lifestyle and offsetting our carbon foootprint. Check out the Kia Soul EV, Kia Optima Hybrid or Hybrid Plug-in, and Kia Niro to find out what it’s like to live Eco Efficiently! Now we can be eco-friendly as easily as driving our car.

Have you seen the new Kia EcoDynamic vehicles?

Last year I told you about the Kia Cadenza and how hot this car was and now I’ll be driving the Kia Niro. You can follow along on social media (#KiaEco #DiscoverKia) as I share everything about the festival on Saturday and check me out Sunday when I’ll be loading an entire drum set into my Kia. Why you ask??? Well, when bands tour they usually rent the drum kit because it would be too much to travel with. I’ll be bringing the drums up to Mass. for The Bret Michaels Band!!!

    Kia’s vehicles have undergone so many changes and now they are very competitive in the market. I love the features they pack in their vehicles. Safety, fuel efficiency, eco-friendly, and luxury all in one vehicle. I am looking forward to your latest blog post about the event and your experience with the Kia Niro.

Why did no one warn us that menopause would turn our bodies into a crime scene… Dryness. Pain. Sneezing roulette. UTIs showing up uninvited. And doctors smiling politely and saying, “That’s just aging.” Cool. Love that for us.

Say Hello to Silky Peach Cream 🍑 A bioidentical estriol cream that works locally to rebuild thinning tissue, restore moisture, and bring back comfort where it actually matters. Not a Band-Aid. Not a $350 prescription. Not a lube that disappears by lunchtime.

Estriol is the gentlest form of estrogen our bodies naturally make, and Silky Peach Cream puts it back exactly where menopause took it away. Over time, tissue rebuilds, moisture returns, and suddenly intimacy doesn’t feel like sandpaper and regret.

Two pumps nightly. Then maintenance. Because it took years to get this dry… it’s okay if it takes a little time to feel normal again.

I’m done whispering about menopause. I got my life back.  And my peach is happy again!

I didn’t expect this to be the hardest part of getting older.

If sex hurts. If you avoid intimacy. If you dread wiping.

It’s not “just dryness.” It’s estrogen loss. And yes, it’s fixable.

Menopause doesn’t ease in quietly. It shows up hot, uncomfortable, and disruptive. And for way too long, women are told to whisper about it or accept it as “just aging.” I’m done with that.

Silky Peach Cream helped restore moisture, rebuild thinning tissue, and bring back comfort where menopause took it away. Not a quick fix. Not a Band-Aid. Just real, gradual relief that made me feel like myself again.

Two pumps. Some patience. And a lot less suffering.

Stop whispering about menopause. You deserve relief. You deserve joy. Your peach deserves to be happy again.

Get the details and try it for yourself at the link in my bio.

In paid partnership with #NoPainPact and with the support of #VoicesforNonOpioidChoices. 

When I found out I needed surgery, my 1st thought wasn’t the procedure. It was the fear of being handed opioids again with no real choice. After my last surgery, opioids were the only option I had, my insurance didn’t cover the non-opioid alternatives I specifically asked for. That showed me how quickly exposure can happen. Many people don’t realize that about 1 in 10 patients who receive opioids after surgery will struggle with long-term use. That’s nearly 4 million people per year. It’s no secret that opioids can lead to addiction, & we should be much louder about the fact that there are non opioid options that can be used during surgery to manage pain afterwards. 
Medicare already recognizes this & separately reimburses for FDA-approved non-opioid pain treatments, proving these options are real & available. Yet insurance barriers often make them difficult or impossible to access. Instead of making decisions about my recovery with my doctor, insurance policy made them for me. As I prepare for my next surgery, I want access to every option that reduces my exposure. I know how easily things can escalate. I’ve seen opioid use continue far longer than intended. It can tear apart families before anyone realizes what’s happening. What starts as short-term pain management after surgery becomes something no one ever expected, simply because safer options were never offered. It’s frustrating that some major insurers still haven’t expanded coverage the way Medicare has. #UnitedHealthcare is one of the companies whose restrictions make it harder to access FDA-approved non-opioid surgical pain options. Because of their size, these decisions affect millions. Surgery shouldn’t be a gateway to opioid addiction. Medicare covers these options. UnitedHealthcare & others need to do the same so patients aren’t pushed toward opioids by outdated policies. Patients & families deserve better.
