A Convenient, Healthy, and Fun Twist On Applesauce with Dole Mixations

A Convenient, Healthy, and Fun Twist On Applesauce with Dole MixationsLife is busy and we are always on the go. Keeping a healthy diet could be challenging and add in that children are watching our every move. There is now a Convenient, Healthy, and Fun Twist On Applesauce with DOLE Mixations®. A simple twist on traditional applesauce gives us four delicious varieties. 

Love Notes

I loved writing little notes to the girls and to the Sicilian and leaving them in their lunches. At lunch time it would put a smile on my face thinking they were reading them and smiling or maybe even rolling their eyes. Now that I have grandchildren, I don’t pack their lunches but I can give them DOLE Mixations with a special note written on it. When their mom gives them a snack, they get to see something from Mimi. 

You see, DOLE Mixations has a special lid that allows you to draw or write on. I LOVE THIS! Dole Mixations art

Inspiration

We often think of writing notes to those we love but what about YOU? Some days I need inspiration! I spend a little time writing myself notes on the DOLE Mixations lids and when I’m having a bad day and grab my delicious snack, usually the Apple-Strawberry Sauce with Dices of Apple, I see my note “You Got This!” It may sound corny but it totally brightens my day. It’s my self motivation.

On The Go

Whether your packing lunch for the kids or your husband, grabbing a snack for yourself, DOLE Mixations gives us a convenient and healthy options that offer some variety. NEW DOLE Mixations are one-of-a-kind fruit fusions with imaginative combinations of smooth fruit sauces mixed with juicy chunks of real fruit. DOLE Mixations keeps snack time mess-free with no liquid to splash or spill!

    These look like really delicious fruit cup mixes. I love the flavor combinations. I’d probably pick the pineapple mango sauce with pineapple slices. I just can’t get enough of these yummy tropical fruits.

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.

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.
