I feel really lucky to have good health coverage, but I don't really understand most things about insurance and deductibles and premiums. Sometimes I forget what those last two words even mean, and I always just kind of hope for the best when I go to the doctor. I never know whether to expect a bill later or if I'll have to pay at the office.

And vision insurance--like, do I have it or not?

The last time I went to the eye doctor, I was diagnosed with astigmatism and picked out some frames while my pupils were still dilated. I went to pick them up a week later and still loved them, but was surprised by the $300+ price tag. Woops! Individual vision insurance from VSP Direct can help you complete your personal look through access to affordable and stylish designer frames. Your eyewear is the only fashion item that you can get insurance for, so why not? It's really affordable (available for as little as 41 cents a day!) and easy to use. Here are some of the perks:

Eye exam coverage with a low co-payment

Allowance for glasses or contacts, fully covered lens options

Lowest out-of-pocket cost in vision care

100% satisfaction guaranteed

30,000 providers in convenient locations

I'm trying to do yoga. When I say that I'm trying to do yoga, it means I got a sudden urge to one day stretch and actually be able to touch my toes. I am not flexible. So I did a few sun salutations yesterday and felt pretty good about it.

This move from Virginia to Minnesota has been really smooth so far, so naturally I am waiting for the moment where my anxiety will kick in and I'll freak out about being so far from home. So far so good though, you guys.

But what do you do when you feel a little anxious or a little stressed to calm down a bit?

I made a list.

+ Call someone from home. Ask to talk to your dog as well.

+ Go for that run even though you're sore and really don't feel like it.

+ Make some tea. While the water boils, stretch.

+ Watch a couple episodes of

Friends

. Works every time.

+ Write something down. Step away from it and add or edit.

+ Look through old photos and laugh at your hair.

+ Lie down on the couch and read something.

What do you do when you need to chill out?
