Ever since becoming a parent I’ve been extremely concerned about keeping my child healthy.

Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products
are my first choice when I think of vitamin supplements for my kids. My boys love gummy bears and Walgreens Children’s Gummies Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Supplement is a supplement they would try. I like the fact that the gummies are natural flavor and are free from preservatives. The best part is that the vitamin supplements are reasonably priced and affordable as compared to other popular brands.

With the rising cost of health care, saving money on over-the-counter medications can really benefit a family’s budget. In addition to being an exceptional value, Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products:

a. Are Walgreens pharmacist recommended.

b. Most contain the same active ingredients as other national brands.

c. Have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

has been set up by Walgreens to provide free preventive health tests as well as other health and wellness services and education to local communities. I find this an excellent approach by a company to fully serve the community that they operate in.

You maybe a winner.

Travel to Tomorrow- A Book Review

Dominique Book Review teenage book, travel to tomorrow

Travel to Tomorrow by Angela Sage Larsen is set in 1955. It talks about a group of girls who were given the social studies group assignment of presenting their findings about living as a teenager 50 years into the future. What they didn’t expect was that they woke up one day 50 years into the future – 2005. Their lives drastically change when they realized that their families are not the same as before. Most of them are much better off and live in bigger houses with all the modern amenities. The family compositions are still the same however they are not able to do things like try out for a sports scholarship which wasn’t even in existence in 1955.

Everything in Beverly, Mary, Judy, Ann, and Maxine’s room remain 1955ish while everything else and everyone else has been fast forward and living in the future. The girls continue their lives as high school students and attend the same school. However they “stand out” from the others due to their dated dressing and thinking. They still move around in the same circles and get a chance to know the boys that they were interested while back in 1955.

The story ends as a mystery as the girls have yet to be teleported back to 1955. I guess that one would have to read through the whole 5 book series to know the ending.

The author made an attempt to link the past to the present in Travel to Tomorrow and exposing the girls inner feelings through their handwritten diary entries in certain chapters of the book. There is also a display of comradely through the girls as they stick together in the future to find a sense of normalcy to their changed life.

I personally found the story a bit draggy with it’s 21 chapters. I’m not really into girly girl books and was not really captivated by the plot. In all it was quite an interesting read for me and I’m sure a teenage girl would enjoy reading it too.
