NMEDA helps get people back on the road
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Do you or someone you know avoid driving, or have you had to give up driving due to disability? NMEDA is a non-profit trade association of mobility equipment dealers, driver rehabilitation specialists, and other professionals dedicated to broadening the opportunities for people with disabilities to drive or be transported in vehicles modified with mobility equipment. All members work together to improve transportation options of people with disabilities.
NMEDA is a non-profit trade association that educates consumers about buying products from a NMEDA qualified dealer.
- NMEDA DOES NOT SELL ANYTHING: NMEDA is the only association that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. They are non-profit and their members are required to adhere to the safety standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NMEDA dealers (members) are the ones who sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for disabled people.
NMEDA would like you to know and be aware of adapted wheelchair vehicles sold over the Internet or through catalogs. After a personalized “in-person” evaluation, you can be sure you are getting the right driving solution customized to your specific lifestyle and needs. If you need additional training or product refinements, your NMEDA dealer is there to help you.
NMEDA has Dealers nationwide and you can use their handy dealer finder by entering your zip code at their website. There were 3 member dealers in our area alone!
The Quality Assurance Program (QAP) is the only nationally recognized accreditation program for the Adaptive Mobility Equipment Industry. It is based on the principle that in order to satisfy customers consistently, companies must have a systematic and documented approach to quality.
Last year, my ex father in law lost his second leg to diabetes. This forced him into a electric scooter full time but didn’t discourage him from wanting to travel. That’s when the hunt began for a reliable adapted van that fit him and his scooter. Knowing about NMEDA then might have saved some time and effort for the family.
Had they known of the association, he and my ex mother in law could have been on the road sooner and with a lot less hassle, helping to restore a sense of independence.
Please be sure to go to nmeda.org and on the homepage, hit the dealers locator and type in your ZIP code and see if there is a qualified dealer near you.
Tom’s of Main is Wicked Fresh!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Toms of Maine. All opinions are 100% mine.
Toms Of Main has been around for over 40 years now and I’m impressed with what they do, how they do it, and why they do it.
They offer some awesome products, which I’ll tell you about, but they also give back to the community that helped build them.
Wicked Fresh!™ Toothpaste : Wicked Fresh!™ Long-lasting Fresh Breath Toothpaste gives you cavity protection and uses powerful natural flavor oils and a patent-pending botanical extract to provide long-lasting fresh breath.
Wicked Fresh!™ Mouthwash: Tom’s Of Maine great tasting Wicked Fresh!™ Mouthwash helps stop bad breath without the burn. Our refreshing mint flavors leave your whole mouth feeling clean.
While I haven’t personally tried their product yet, I plan on doing so because of the things that they don’t use. They don’t put Artificial colors, Artificial flavors or fragrances, Animal ingredients, Parabens, or Phthalates.
Tom’s is up front about the fact that their products may look a little different from one batch to another and that they can get the same benefits from natural products as most companies get from lab created synthetic ingredients.
Life is full of Wicked Fresh moments and Tom’s is asking everyone to share their own Wicked Fresh moments with the community. Today I went last minute
shopping for my youngest daughter and the stores were very quiet, with little to no customers. It was refreshing!
Tom’s wants more people to share their own Wicked Fresh moments! That’s Wicked Fresh contest page

Massage oil from Green dragon herbals

Chocolate massage oil
My neighbor state to the south has red clay dirt and an almost accent, but they also offer full fledged healthy products with fun and flair.
I’m a connoisseur of massage – sort of. I know the value of a true rub down when it comes to the healing benefits of relaxed muscled and released body toxins. But, I’m also well aware of how massage in the romance department can make you feel loved and cared for, not to mention, fire Cupid’s arrow of lust.
That’s where Green Dragon Herbals in Oklahoma comes in. Their flavored massage oil is an awesome way to get relaxed and not worry about where your loved ones might kiss you after the massage. Keep your mind out of the gutter here folks! Ever had a massage and then had your kiddos run up to you and slather you with hugs and kisses? That’s what I meant.
Sheesh. Go check them out for very affordable products made in the heartland.
Yep, it’s a paid post, but what I said is true and is my own opinion on the subject.
Playing games helps your brain
Can you get smarter, or get your brain to work better if you play games?Apparently these guys think so! HAPPYneuron’s brain training program offers essential brain fitness capabilities not found in other brain training programs.
They have scientific research on brain fitness and have worked with prestigious institutions (schools, not nut houses), so it may well be worth checking out. They have a 7 day free trial too.
