Socks are nice. Books are great. Candy, treats, and cookies are all tasty and fun to eat. A new Lexus with one of those red bows would be totally awesome. But one powerful gift says:

“I love you so much that I want you to be happy, healthy, and live as long and fulfilling a life as possible.”  

That gift is a certificate to Cape Ann Power Yoga.

You can buy one right now online and print it out or come in to the studio 15 minutes before or after any class on our schedule to pick up a certificate in person.

and then:

the person you give the gift certificate to can go online or come in to the studio to use it any time. If they are savvy (which they must be to have a friend like you) they have until January 2 to take advantage of our special Holiday…

Olympic Dreams

Posted on by Nichole S.

If any of the young skaters who grace the ice at The Dorothy M. Talbot Rink have any Olympic ambitions, it is pretty cool to have Ben (Punky) Smith watching from the stands!

Thatcher and Finn, knowing he is my husband’s Godfather, have read the plaques that pay tribute to his pretty fantastic Olympic Coaching career many times and were pretty smitten to see him at last week’s Gloucester High School game.

Thatcher was beyond happy to hear him say, “Your son looked pretty good out there” after his team skated at intermission.

Benjamin A. Smith, III was able to lead the United States Women’s Hockey team to a Gold Medal in 1998, a Medal in 2002, and a Bronze Medal in 2006.  His 1998 Olympic Team went on to be inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.

GMG Electricity and Alternative Energy Series: ATTTENTION- It’s Time To Renew Your Plan If You Opted For A Six Month Plan

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Last winter I shared what my plan for my mom’s electricity supplier was.   At the time the best option IMO was Think Energy.  If you signed up and locked in congratulations, you saved a bunch of money over National Grid’s variable pricing plan which generally spikes way up in the winter due to there not being enough power plants in the northeast to create power and National Grid having to go out and bid in the open market for electricity.

Anyway, I signed my mom up for a six month plan and it was up about a month ago.

This is just a reminder for anyone else who did what we did to contact Think Energy and either resign with them or lock in with another supplier so you aren’t at the mercy of National Grid.

It takes all of a few minutes to do

Here’s the number for Think Energy- 1-866-252-0078

Here’s Direct Energy- 888-305-3828

Call both, get the best rate and if you want, lock in for 6-12 months.

I have no idea about where electricity prices will go but I know if you’re at the mercy of a variable pricing plan you could be paying way more in the winter months.

I’m locking in like we did last year.

JUST BE AWARE THAT IF YOU DO NOTHING AND YOUR TERM EXPIRES FROM LAST YEAR WHEN YOU LOCKED IN, THEN YOU”RE PROBABLY BACK AT THE MERCY OF NATIONAL GRID.

SO CALL AND EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS!

Just lookin out for my peeps. I have no vested interest other than to make sure you are aware.

Do you believe in ‘Old Wives Tales’?

Posted on by Alicia Unleashed

When I get a cold I will do ANYTHING to get better FAST! I literally have had 5 colds in the past 20 years. I have an immune system of steel!

So I heard the old wives’ tale of putting a peeled onion in a bowl in your room and it absorbs bacteria.

Have you heard this?

Onions and the Flu

Q: Can Raw Onion Prevent the Flu?

A: There is no scientific evidence that a cut raw onion absorbs germs or rids the air of toxins/poisons.

A wives tale that dates back as far as the 1500’s claims that placing a cut raw onion in rooms throughout a residence could protect its occupants from getting the bubonic plague.

Long before germs were discovered, the dominate belief was contagious diseases were spread by miasma, or “noxious air.”

While false, this belief remained part of folk medicine through the 19th century claiming to ward off epidemics like smallpox, influenza, and other “infectious fevers.”
