Retail savings coast-to-coast!
Through our new affiliation with EyeMed, your employees can save up to 35% on eyeglasses, plus get great deals on contact lenses and more at thousands of independents and optical retailers like LensCrafters, Pearle Vision and the optical centers at Sears, Target and JCPenney.

Stick to it!
You will have an easier time keeping your resolutions if you follow a few simple guidelines.
- Set measurable goals and track your progress.
- Write your results in a diary or chart.
- Make your goal specific. “Floss every night before bed” rather than “Floss more often.”
- Don’t go it alone. Team up with a family member or friend for support.
- Give yourself a chance to form new habits — it can take several weeks for a new routine to become second nature.

Winter safety tips
Don’t let winter trap you indoors. If you live in a chilly climate, take a few precautions and enjoy the briskness of the season.
Shoveling — If you have to shovel snow, do some light warm-up movements before you begin. Push snow in front of you as much as possible. Lift the load with your legs, not your back, and don’t twist as you toss. Pace yourself. Don’t shovel if you’re out of shape.
Staying active — Enjoy outdoor sports like skiing, sledding and snowshoeing all winter long. Dress in warm layers, covering exposed skin to prevent frostbite. Take frequent breaks and drink water to stay hydrated. And don’t forget the sunscreen! Snow can reflect up to 85 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Driving — Get your car tuned up before winter hits. Pack an emergency kit with food, water, blankets, flashlights, batteries, etc. Include special items like diapers and prescription medication for family members who need them.
Feeling SAD — If Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — the winter blues — dampens your mood during the darker months, invest in full-spectrum lamps to get the UV rays you’re missing. Also get plenty of exercise, and talk to your doctor if symptoms of depression persist or worsen. |
