February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partn February is American Heart Month, and I’ve partnered with @MedIQCME and Duke Health to raise awareness about atrial fibrillation (AFib), also known as irregular heartbeat which affects 12 million people.My father was diagnosed with AFib and my family has a history of this condition, so I do my best to learn as much as I can about it.

I’ve learned that when the atrium’s squeezing becomes irregular, blood doesn’t flow as smoothly through the heart and clots can form. Those clots can travel to the brain, disrupting the oxygen supply and causing a stroke. People with AFib are at approximately 5 times greater risk for stroke than those with regular heartbeats. Stroke is a leading cause of death and also of serious, long-term disability. It is essential to get to a hospital quickly if you suspect a stroke in yourself or others.Learn the acronym FAST to recognize the signs of stroke: 

F = Face. Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?

A = Arms. Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? 

S = Speech. Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase. Is the speech slurred or strange?

T= Time. If you see any of these signs, call 9-1-1 right away.

Take this survey (link in bio) for the chance to win 1 of 5 $100 VISA gift cards—takes less than 10 minutes.

Head Back to School with the Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Verizon


Head Back to School with the Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Verizon

In just a few weeks, my daughter will be heading back to school. Already a young technology evangelist, when it comes to the latest gadgets and devices, my daughter is utilizing technology in so many ways to help her communicate and learn. As parents, we want our children to not only have the best, but also be safe while doing so. If you have opted for your child to have a smartphone, then you know there are tons of choices out there to select from. My daughter has an iPhone 5C as we are an Apple household, but over the summer, she has been using the Samsung Galaxy S5 device which the folk at Verizon so graciously let us use. And I can say with confidence that is a great phone for back to school.

In terms of size, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a great device for kids of all ages. For the younger ones, it’s big enough for them to use and feel comfortable using. For the high school and college set, it’s 5.1″ 1080p screen makes good for watching video and looking up information on Google and other sites. If your child doesn’t have a tablet, the Galaxy S5 has awesome screen real estate, so it is a great alternative.

If your student has to take photos for reports and other documents or homework, the Samsung Galaxy S5 boasts one of the best smartphone cameras on the market. With HD 16 MP autofocus and stabilization tools, it takes a fine picture. It also has face and smile detection, and can take photos and video simultaneously.

In terms of applications to help with studying and homework, the pie is the sky when it comes to the Android Market. Just about every app known to man is available for the device and can help with your child’s assignments.

Another plus for students and young users? The Samsung Galaxy S5 has been touted as being waterproof, even when submerged in water. How true this is is being debated on the blogosphere, but it has passed many a test from diehard tech users.

And with the built in Google Chrome browser, you have access to parental controls that you can setup and monitor online via your Google account sign in (or the Google account used to register the phone). I like this because I can see browsing history and other data while I am signed in on my computer. There are also parental controls that can be set up on the device itself.

All-in-all, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a gorgeous device that is durable enough for students of most ages. It’s stylish enough for the young user, and has many bells and whistles that parents love.

For more information on the Samsung Galaxy S5, check out my previous post, Digital Lifestyle: Getting to Know the Samsung Galaxy S5.

    This is the phone I plan on upgrading too later this year (unless they surprise me with the next next big thing LOL). I absolutely adore my S3.

      Glammy, that would be a good look. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a step up from the S3. You will love it even more than you love your current device.
