Looking to Stretch Your Holiday Budget? CookieSurprises.com Offers Hundreds of Unique Gifts for Around the Same Cost as a Greeting Card

Leesburg, VA (PRWEB) September 22, 2010

A Northern Virgina mom has come up with a unique way to stretch holiday-shopping dollars just in time for the upcoming holiday season. CookieSurprises offers hundreds of whimsical hand-decorated unique cookie gifts for about the same price as a greeting card.

Anne Fognano, a single mom from Leesburg, VA, knows what its like to live on a shoestring budget to make ends meet. In 1999, she pioneered one of the first online coupon sites to help other moms online save money, CleverMoms.com.

Although coupons are great for saving money at thousands of online retailers, they don't address the problem encountered when folks simply don't have enough money to buy quality gifts for loved ones when they want to. "There are so many occasions we have to buy gifts for throughout the year and we all want to be able to send gifts we can be proud of. In this tight economy, when everyone is cutting back, many have been forced to just send an e-card, because they simply can't afford to keep up with all of their gift-giving needs. It it just heartbreaking when we aren't able to provide gifts we can be proud of at an affordable price," Fognano said.

She searched the internet for gifts that would be whimsical and affordable, and make a good impression to the recipient, without looking inexpensive or thoughtless. A tiresome search yielded no results, and she was perplexed to find that greeting cards in the brand name local card store were simply outrageous in price, some approaching the $ 8 mark... for just the card.

Then she came up with an idea... 'Why not create a business that offers high-quality, festively packaged unique gifts, that cost about the *same* as a greeting card?' Thus evoloved CookieSurprises.com! CookieSurprises.com offers hundreds of adorable hand-decorated jumbo-sized cookie gifts, for every occasion, starting at less than $ 5. Customers can add special perks like festive curling ribbons, champagne bubbles, organza bags, and more for very nominal upgrade charges, and CookieSurprises has some of the lowest shipping charges online.

In addition to the unique cookie gifts, Anne's philosophy of customer service is noteworthy, "I love providing a gift for my customers that really knocks the socks off of their recipients. I often will tuck extra goodies in the box, and have been known to bump up orders to priority shipping, at no extra charge, if I know they need to arrive in time for an extra special occasion. To me, the most important thing is that my customers and their recipients are happy. Many of my customers are repeat customers, so if I provide good customer service, I know they will shop with us again."

In addition to individual cookie gifts, CookieSurprises.com provides bulk cookies for wedding favors, baby showers, sports team events and more! CookieSurprises.com also offers non-profit organizations 15% of all sales sent for fundraisers, corporate gifts, and automatic cookie shipments to loved ones for up to a year.

So, If you have been wondering just how to stretch the budget this year and provide gifts for everyone on your shopping list, consider visiting CookieSurprises.com to make the most out of your holiday shopping dollars.

CosmetiCare Offers New Hope for Women to Improve their Appearance With Breast Reconstruction Surgery

ORANGE COUNTY, CA. (PRWEB) January 27, 2012

CosmetiCare, the leading name for breast enhancement Newport Beach procedures offers new hope to survivors of breast cancer by restoring their former appearance. Breast reconstruction surgery enables women to get their natural physical look back after losing one or both breasts to cancer and offers a great way to regain your natural figure after Mastectomy.

CosmetiCare Plastic Surgery Center & Med Spa was established by Dr. Michael Niccole in 1982 and from the very beginning, it has played an important role in providing successful cosmetic, corrective and reconstructive procedures for residents of Orange County and Newport Beach in California. Due to the highly skilled and experienced staff, CosmetiCare?s name has become synonymous with reliability and innovation, making them one of the most sought after plastic surgery centers for breast augmentation Orange County.

There are huge numbers of women that go through Mastectomy each year to remove the cancer and subsequently, opt for reconstructive surgery of the breasts. According to ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), around 100,000 women went through breast reconstruction surgery in 2011. A majority of these women had lost their breasts in mastectomy after they were diagnosed with breast cancer.

Mastectomy is the surgery in which the one or both breasts are removed in order to get rid of the cancer. In the procedure, all of the breast tissue must be removed to eliminate the risk of remaining cancer cells. The end result leaves the women with all of the skin, fat and the tissue that form the breasts, gone and with a flat chest. In a single mastectomy, one side will be completely flat; whereas, in a double mastectomy, the chest is left completely without breasts.

The psychological effects of mastectomy can be devastating for a majority of women. The procedure may initially offer women hope and triumph knowing that the disease is now gone from their body. However, after a while they start to feel the effects of being left with a disfigured body that causes embarrassment and shame for them. The reconstruction surgery through breast augmentation Orange County procedure paves the way for them to reclaim their figure and restore the breasts to their former healthy and natural state.

The breast reconstruction involves placement of implants behind the chest muscles enabling the patients to get their chest back. A patient is given a choice of implant type between saline and silicone, just like a regular breast enhancement Newport Beach procedure. Breast reconstruction procedures are helping a huge number of women get their breasts back after losing them to cancer. The surgery has proven to be more effective if performed right after the mastectomy.

If you?d like more information about this topic, or would like to schedule a free consultation with CosmetiCare, please call the Newport Beach office (949) 718-6900 or the Long Beach office (562) 595-1793. CosmetiCare has two locations: 1101 Bayside Drive Suite 100, Newport Beach, CA 92625-1703 & 2664 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90806.

Author of New Book Offers 10 Strategies to Get Kids Moving

Champaign, IL (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Young children are drawn to physical activity, but according to Stephen Virgilio, author of the new edition of Fitness Education for Children (Human Kinetics, 2011), teachers must provide motivational strategies to keep kids active into adolescence. ?You must motivate children to maintain their interest in physical fitness so they will develop an appreciation for physical activity as a way of life,? says Virgilio. ?Doing all the developmentally appropriate fitness activities in the world will not instill in children positive long-term lifestyle habits.?

Starting as early as age 10, children often stop engaging in childhood games and discover new interests that pull them away from play and physical activity. At the same time, parents and teachers convey the message that physical activity must have a purpose and encourage kids to join athletic teams to compete for honors. ?Children who are motivated by these adult goals tend to become inactive because they feel incompetent and unsupported,? Virgilio says. ?We must stop treating 10-year-olds like miniature adult athletes and start letting them develop naturally as children who need to move freely, play, have fun, and express their physical selves.?

In Fitness Education for Children, Second Edition, Virgilio offers 10 motivational strategies to help teachers keep children involved in physical activities.

1. Teach basic skills.

These are skills such as jogging and curl-ups. ?When teachers take the time to instruct students on proper form and technique, students will assume teachers really care about improving the kids? physical development,? says Virgilio.

2. Choose success-oriented activities.

When children feel successful, they?ll repeat an activity and gain the confidence to advance to more difficult activities. ?To motivate kids, design activities at an appropriate developmental level that includes challenges kids can achieve through practice,? Virgilio explains.

3. Have fun, fun, fun.

?Children should laugh, sing, play, and interact while engaged in physical activity,? says Virgilio. Children will be more apt to tune in to class objectives when they are having fun and enjoying the lesson.

4. Add creative equipment.

Introduce new and exciting equipment to add spark to classes. ?Many times physical educators use the same equipment year in and year out, and children become bored and tired of the same old thing,? says Virgilio.

5. Add new activities.

Always be on the lookout for new activities to add to programs, and try incorporating such lessons as Zumba dancing, in-line skating, yoga, or outdoor education.

6. Create a colorful environment.

Decorate the gym with colorful posters, exercise charts, and bulletin boards or have a monthly theme. ?For example, February can be Heart-Smart Month,? Virgilio explains. ?Have students in different grades take turns decorating each month along with their parents.?

7. Provide incentives.

Students need support and encouragement for their hard work in class. Occasionally provide children with positive, healthy incentives for active participation.

8. Be a role model.

?Maintain a healthy weight, exercise with your classes, eat healthy foods at lunch, keep nutritious snacks on your desk, and talk to your students about your afterschool activities such as volleyball leagues or jogging,? Virgilio says.

9. Accentuate the positive.

Positive reinforcement strengthens existing habits and encourages students? progress. Always use gestures and words of encouragement.

10. Organize a health club.

Designate a health club workout area. Students who join the club can work on their individual goals or participate in a group physical activity of their own choice. ?Your job is to plan group activities and help participants plan their individual programs,? Virgilio says.

?Participating in regular physical activity is one of the most powerful things people can do for their general health regardless of age,? says Virgilio. ?Just think how healthy children would be if they started at a very young age on a pathway of lifetime physical activity.?
