    Friday Five: International Women's Day and a coronavirus update

    enMarch 06, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • Designing a unique ring online or starting a weight loss journey, convenience is keyBlue Nile offers custom ring designs online, PlushCare provides online doctor consultations for weight loss prescriptions, and high-quality podcasts require short ad breaks for sustainability

      When it comes to important decisions like buying an engagement ring or starting a weight loss journey, convenience and ease are key. For the former, Blue Nile offers the ability to design a unique ring online and have it delivered to your door. For the latter, PlushCare provides online access to certified physicians who can prescribe weight loss medications. In other news, the Lizziell Well-being Show has been relaunched in audio and video format, featuring insightful conversations with health experts. However, a listener expressed concern about the short ad breaks in the podcast. To clarify, these breaks help cover the costs of producing high-quality content. So, whether it's choosing the perfect ring or embarking on a weight loss journey, or enjoying informative podcasts, remember that ease, convenience, and expert guidance are essential elements for success.

    • Lizzo's Well-being Content: Accessible to AllLizzo covers costs of her podcasts herself, emphasizes accessibility, and shares simple coronavirus protection measures: wash hands, sing 'Happy Birthday', use hand cream, wear gloves, and stay aware of hand contact.

      Lizzo, the well-being content creator, doesn't pay herself a salary from her work but covers the costs through other means. She funds her podcasts herself and inserts short ads to help recover a fraction of the costs. She emphasizes that good information should be accessible to all. In her well-being update, she shares simple yet effective measures to protect oneself from the coronavirus. These include washing hands with soap for at least 20 seconds, singing "Happy Birthday" twice, using hand cream, and wearing gloves to avoid touching one's face. She encourages staying aware of hand contact and has found wearing gloves a helpful habit. While the situation may change, the need for health insurance remains constant.

    • Appreciating Special Occasions with Various Gifts and ServicesShop for Mother's Day gifts, enjoy flexible health insurance plans, send flowers and gifts, and support companies with social missions.

      There are various ways to show appreciation for special occasions, whether it's through flexible and budget-friendly health insurance plans from UnitedHealthcare, shopping for Mother's Day gifts at Whole Foods Market, or sending flowers and gifts from 1800flowers.com. Another important takeaway is the emphasis on comfort and giving back, as demonstrated by Bombas and their mission to provide essentials for everyone while donating one item for every purchase. Lastly, there are ongoing discussions about potential health solutions, such as high doses of vitamin C for treating the coronavirus and promoting brain development, as well as the importance of using takeaway cups or refillable containers when buying coffee to avoid potential hazards from reused crockery.

    • Discussing health and women's issues, mentioning effective alcohol-based products and digital platformsEffective alcohol-based products can help combat viruses, and the speaker plans to share insights on women's resilience and menopause through digital platforms

      Alcohol-based products with at least 60% pure alcohol can help combat viruses. This information was shared during a discussion about staying healthy, specifically mentioning hand sanitizers. Additionally, International Women's Day was acknowledged, with plans to speak at events about building resilience for women in leadership and menopause. The speaker also shared intentions to record and share talks on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for wider accessibility. So, in summary, staying healthy involves using effective alcohol-based products, and the speaker is committed to sharing knowledge and resources related to women's issues through various digital platforms.

    • Shop high-end essentials ethically and affordablyQuince and Boll and Branch offer quality, ethical items at discounted prices, allowing consumers to elevate their style without overspending.

      No matter the budget, quality and ethically-made items are accessible. The speaker encourages viewers to subscribe to her YouTube channel for informative and inspiring content, and promotes Quince as a go-to destination for high-end essentials at discounted prices. Quince guarantees quality and ethical manufacturing, allowing consumers to elevate their style without breaking the bank. Another recommendation is Boll and Branch's organic cotton sheets, which not only feel soft but also get softer with each wash. By choosing brands like Quince and Boll and Branch, consumers can enjoy quality items while making ethical and budget-conscious choices.
