Walgreens Customers On Express Scripts Have Options

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. If you have Express Scripts insurance and are currently a Walgreens or Duane Reade customer, you are aware that Walgreens and Express Script recently ended their contract and Walgreens is no longer part of their pharmacy provider network. What does this mean for […]

  • Zippy Sandler

    I noticed this when I went into Walgreens the other day.

  • Laurie

    Good to know, I know all these changes drug companies and pharmacies make irritate many people.

  • Karen

    I love Walgreens and $1 for scripts-unbeliveable!!

  • Melissa Au

    Great that they are willing to help.

  • Karen

    I like the discount they are offering!

  • marybeth @ www.babygoodbuys.com

    These stores are all over EVERY drugstore in my area! It makes me feel bad for Walgreens.

  • Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom

    I love how Walgreens is going above and beyond on this one.

  • Shop with Me Mama (Kim)

    This is such a hassle for those that went to Walgreen’s and now have to travel far and wide for their prescriptions now 🙁

  • This is so sad for Walgreens customers ;-(

  • Tammy

    We had a savings card for Walgreens through my husband’s work. That has ended now, and they are supposed to start with something new, soon.

  • I’m curious as to how many people this affects.

  • Louise

    I’m so proud of walgreens

  • Marcie W.

    I am not sure if this affects us, however I love that my Drs office will email our Rx’s to Walgreens so they can have a head start on filling it for us before we even leave the Dr.

  • Theresa

    It’s nice that they are willing to help you out!

  • Penelope

    That is a neat service! Considering how far some pharmacies in some parts of the country can be, I’m really irritated when insurance companies make choices like this that don’t benefit the patients at all.

The Twisted Updo Hairstyle Tutorial

I obviously love updos (as a mom with an active son, hair away from my face is a great thing, and updos and buns are just so pretty). Here is another pretty updo bun hairstyle tutorial featuring one of my favorite hair styles, the twisted bun hairstyle to the side, a hairstyle that also looks […]

  • April Decheine

    Love updo’s, my hair is always up!

  • Melissa Au

    What an adorable updo! I pull my hair in a ponytail too much. i’ll have to try this.

  • Very nice! I love that look.

  • Theresa

    That is a beautiful hair style Penelope!

  • Shop with Me Mama (Kim)

    Very pretty Penelope!!! Your hair is so pretty!!

  • ceemee

    That looks so nice! Must try that sometime!

  • How pretty Penelope. This is so simple as well. Thanks for the tutorial!

  • Jennifer

    once again, I am amazed with your hair. I really want to try the hairstyles you post but I dont think I have the cordination for it, lol

  • Canadian Mom Blogger

    Beautiful, as always!

  • Maureen @ Wisconsin Mommy

    I always see these amazing hairstyles and wonder how to do them – thanks for showing us this one!!

  • Lolo

    That looks so easy and cute. I wonder if I can do it, my hair is not as long as yours. I am going to give it a try!!

  • Toni @ A Daily Dose

    that’s such a pretty updo. My hair isn’t quite long enough since I just cut it I dont’ think but when it grows I will definitely be trying it.

  • Anne - Mommy Has to Work

    My up do’s are always messy!

  • Courtney

    I am so bad with styling my hair, Love this!!

  • Amy

    I love this. I always have m hair up and you have some awesome ideas!

  • Marianna

    Cute!

  • Zippy Sandler

    You make it look so easy.

  • Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom

    Your hair always looks amazing!

  • Tammy

    Great tutorial. My hair is too short to do it.

  • great updo I bet i can do this with my hair now thats it a bit longer

  • What a good idea. I got a little confused on how to do #4 but I’ll have to play around with my daughter’s hair (my hair is too short).

  • Penelope

    You twist the hair all the way down (to the end) and after you are done twisting it lengthwise, turn it around on itself to make a figure eight like I did (it looks like an 8 lying on its side)…you can also do other things with it, but the twisted figure 8 is simple enough to be elegant, and it’s easier for most people to do.

    Hope that helps!

  • Looks cool, but a little difficult. What kind of difficulty level would you give it? I like your tutorial style – it’s something we love to see at taaz.com, you should come share with us!

  • Penelope

    It’s a surprisingly easy hairstyle…I’m not particularly dexterous so all the beauty tips and hair styles I do are on the easy side, and this hair style tutoorial takes a few moments, literally.

  • San

    Awesome! But it seems a little bit difficult to me.

  • That is SO cute! I don’t know if I’m talented enough to pull that off {even with your awesome tutorial} but I think I’m going to try!

  • Love this hairdo. Unfortunately, I doubt mine would come out as neat as yours if I gave this a try.
