Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well, Marissa, we're glad to have you. So what's your
parents be thinking about Marissa when it comes to tech
and stay connected this.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Year, one of my favorite mom hacks is really sorting
out that tech ear really cyrus to give us one
listing to stress about for back to school, and this year,
T Mobile is making it easier than ever. They have
the new Samsung Galaxy S twenty five free when you
add a line and trade in, plus free tablets, watches
and more. And if you're switching, their Easy Upgrade program
(01:18):
gives you a free phone and pays off your old one,
no trade and needed. Plus their new plans you get
a five year price guarantee, which is huge. They also
have Magenta Status which gives you access to perks like
free Apple TV plus Hulu, Netflix, Dash, Pass by Door,
Dash End, T Satellite, and T Mobile is helping students
stay connected through something called Project ten million, which offers
(01:41):
free internet and hotspots to eligible k through twelve families
and you can learn more about that at T dashmobile
dot com slash Project ten billions.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Oh that's some great deal and great idea too as
far as as the savings there too. So are there
simple things Marisa? Parents can do this year to help
support their kids overall health and wellness as they're hitting.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
By absolutely more moms are really thinking beyond the basics
is back to school season, myself included, and according to
research from Smarty Pants Vitamins, a lot of parents are
supporting their kids' brain health just as much as they're
supporting their immune health. They're really thinking about that and
that's why I love Smarty Pants Kids multian Omegas. This
(02:20):
delivers a focused blend of six research back nutrients to
support brain health. Plus it contains sixteen essential nutrients overall
designed to really help build those common gaps to support
kids' growth and development. And the best part is kids
actually love the taste, so it's a simple, stress free
way to help support brain health all school years long.
(02:41):
Let's turn out to snacking for a moment, because I'm
always looking for snacks that are easy, quick, reliable, and
again something kids will actually eat. So we love z
Bar Energy snack bars in my house. These are non GMO,
they're USDA Organic certified, eleven to thirteen grams of whole
grains per bar, and my kids love the flavors, especially
(03:02):
the iced oatmeal, cookie, chocolate chip, chocolate brownie flavors. And
this year z Bar is teaming up with Moana and
something really fun. Families can enter the z Bar Back
to School Sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip
to Hawaii to help give your child the chance to
chart their own adventure this school year. So that's a
really fun one to start this back to school season.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Wasn't familiar with z bormor I'm not to look into
that myself, so thank you so much for sharing that
tip with us. Well, you know, there's a lot of
calls that goes into getting ready for back to school.
My nephew he graduated last year. He's out of school now,
he don't have to worry about that. But are there
smart ways that parents can manage your shopping calls without
(03:45):
sacrificing exactly what their kids need the school year.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Absolutely, As a mom of three, I know how important
it is to stick to a budget while still checking
off all those must have So I love a firm.
It allows you to pay over time, responsibly with no
or hidden fees. So whether you're stocking up on the
school supply, maybe it's the tech, the dorm gear price,
the athletic shoes. A firm really gives you the flexibility
(04:09):
to pay in a way that works for your family,
and you can shop with the firm at retailers like Amazon,
Disporting Goods, New Egg, and more. Just download the Affirm
app to shop virtually anywhere or select a firm at checkout,
and it's really a great way to stay on top
of that spending this school year.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Love, Ben Lesson, I want to ask you about Marisa.
Of course, there's so many pressures that kids are going through,
like we all are. What are some easy ways they
can boost their confidence and fill their best for the
new school year.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, that fresh mindset really starts with feeling your best,
and Ola Superserm body Wash helps you do just that.

skin care ingredients. It uses advanced skin delivery technology to
