Good Customer Service Goes A long Way At Boston Market

I often blog about bad experiences here. But here is a good one.

I purchased a meal for 4 at Boston Market. Comes with 4 larges sides, 4 cornbread and a whole chicken and a half. I got home and there was only 2 quarter pieces dark and 1 quarter piece white. Well that is not even a whole chicken.

I called them up told them about the debacle and they told to come back then or the next day for the piece of chicken. I am happy to say that my local Boston Market made it worth my while.

I explained to the manager, showed my receipt and she shook her head and disgust. She said "only three pieces of chicken?" I confirmed. She said -"How about I will give you a whole chicken?" I said great. She gave me a whole chicken and 3 extra cornbread pieces. That made it worth the trip back to the store, and obviously I will return for future meals! It is rare but when it happens - its great.

Moral of the story? - Never be afraid to speak up for yourself and always get what you pay for.

Pilates Day(R) Saturday May 2, 2009

Each year on the first Saturday in May, the Pilates world celebrates Pilates Day.

Established and promoted by the Pilates Method Alliance(R) (PMA(R)), Pilates Day is an annual, international community event celebrated via a network of varied, innovative, and high quality grassroots Pilates events accessible and affordable for all. The Pilates Day mission is to foster the public's appreciation and awareness of the Pilates Method and to support Pilates practitioners and studio owners in introducing new members of their communities to the Pilates Method. The Pilates Method Alliance promotes and supports the development of Pilates Day events in communities around the world.

Practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits. Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing is a primary focus. Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles, coordination -- both muscular and mental, are key components in an effective Pilates program. Posture, balance, and core strength are all heartily increased. Bone density and joint health improve, and many experience positive body awareness for the first time. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, and that capacity spills over into other areas of one's life.


The PMA encourages everyone to experience this life-enhancing exercise method. Pilates Day events provide a wide range of opportunities for members of the public to have their first experience of the Pilates Method. All are welcome! Events are scheduled all over the USA, as well as in Australia, Canada, Estonia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

New Pilates Body Sculpting Kit only $20. Certified Pilates instructor Ana Cab shows you how to use the 6 sculpting ball to flatten your abs, tone your hips, lift your butt and firm your thighs quickly and effectively.


Pilates Day is a program of the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA), and Pilates Day events are produced and hosted by PMA members. For a list of scheduled events visit www.PilatesDay.com

The American Fertility Association's Manicures & Martinis Infertility Prevention Program is a national series of events dedicated to young women who are not quite ready to conceive, but might one day want to have a child. Fertility experts will lead conversations about how to prevent infertility whenever possible, the reality of the "biological clock," the harmful effects of STD's and environmental toxins, and the differences between gynecologists and reproductive endocrinologists. Attendees will enjoy complimentary manicures and martinis, or a "Fertiltini" -- an all-organic, alcohol-free cocktail.

Save $15 on gifts for mom at Bliss when you buy 1 body butter + 1 scrub + 1 shower gel (any scent!). Use code SAVE15. Offer ends 5.11.09.

The AFA's Executive Director, Ken Mosesian, says, "Through post-event surveys, young women are telling us how much they have learned about the basics of reproduction, especially about their biological clocks, about the importance of preventing STD's, and about birth control. One participant said, 'Finally, some answers.'"

Celebrate Mom This Mother's Day - Flower Tips

Ever since Woodrow Wilson's official proclamation of Mother's Day in 1914, nervous husbands and eager children have struggled to find the perfect gift for Mom.

One of the most traditional and appreciated ways to celebrate Mom is to shower her with gorgeous flowers. And according to a recent survey, some of Mom's favorite plants include gardenias, hydrangeas, and miniroses. Topping the list of favorite blooms are lilies, gerbera daisies and roses.

When buying a beautiful bouquet for mom, show off your smarts and give her these handy tips from the floral and gift giving experts at 1-800-FLOWERS.COM:

• Arrange the flowers in a deep vase filled with cool water, and then mix in the floral preservative provided by the florist.

• Remove all leaves from the stem that fall below the waterline in the vase, as they will promote bacterial growth.

• Use a knife or shears to cut an inch from the bottom of the stem on an angle while holding it under water. This allows the stem to draw in the water, instead of air.

• Keep cut flowers and arrangements looking fresh by adding cool water to the vase every day and keeping it in a cool spot. Always keep the vase full, and change the water every three to four days.

Mother's Day is a great opportunity for the kids to get creative, too. All moms appreciate a personalized gift, and they will love this pseudo flower arrangement: a bouquet of handprints made with lots of love. Here's how it's done from Celebrations.com, a Web site that offers expert advice and fun, simple planning tools for your next party:

• You will need colorful paper, scissors, pens or colored pencils, green craft paint (optional), small vase, craft glue, floral foam, and for the stems use either small dowels, wooden skewers or straws.

• Trace and cut out each child's handprints using different colors of paper. Make as many as you want. Ask kids to write one thing he or she loves about Mom on each handprint. Paint dowels or skewers with green paint, if desired. Glue handprints to the front of stems. Put florist foam in the vase and insert flowers. Place decorative grass or candies around the base of the flowers to cover the florist foam.

Go to Celebrations.com for more inspiration for life's most important celebrations, and visit 1-800-FLOWERS.COM for a beautiful selection of gifts including the Mother's Embrace arrangement.

Lilies, gerbera daisies and roses are among American mothers' favorite blooms.
