Gone bad. Afterward we got to meet many of the princesses and the cast which was funny. They were so fantastic. I went with my friend amanda and they were it was so hilarious im not kidding i think every woman needs to go see it. Its hilarious. As long as you have a good sense of humor. [laughter] thats awesome. Like i said i have seen the i think a lot of time when is people do spoofs on stuff like that because everything you have heard it has been engrained with all of the doesny stuff and all disney stuff and all of that to see someone blow that up. Little mermaid is drunk. Its hilarious. Its really great. Speaking of princesses, princess is no longer the top Halloween Costume are you surprised by that . I think its always going to be popular with really young surprised at all. It is number two still. The top costume for 2016 is super heros. Yeah. Also, probably because a lot of the movies out this year, but super heros like batman and all of that. Love it. That is cool. You get a kick out of scaring people. I do get a kick out of scaring people. I hate to be scared myself. If someone scares me like my kids im like mad. Im instantly upset like dont scare me. Because i need a minute t down, but lately, i just had these unbelievable opportunities at home to scare my kids just like as one example, youre rotten. My 17yearold daughter was alope he heard her blow drying her hair upstairs nobody was at home. I got home tip towed up the stairs went into the bathroom and was like what up like that. She seriously levitated off the ground and shut the door she was like mom get out of here. I opened the door and i was like because i hate to be scared, but im like the look on your face and the way you jumped was so awesome. You know its going to come back ten fold. I hope not. We used to scare my mom all the time. She would hate it because shes so easy to scare. I am easy to scare too i hate being scared it drives me nuts. I even make people message me when they come to visit so they dont scare me just when they knock on the door. I dont watch scary because those images stick with you for so long. I scared my son too he didnt appreciate it either. I think its a good question, do you like to be scared. Tell us what you think. Its just as basic as that. Is it fun to be scared or no . I looked at Science Behind being scared. I have the information at my desk. [laughter] the point is some people do like being scared. Some people enjoy it. There is exposure therapy which people have heard about it in psychology. If you watch scary things as a child you will be less scared of them they claim because you have learned to rationalize that fear. Like extreme sports people. They can do an extreme sport once they figure out they dont die they know they are less scared the next time. Interesting. Didnt you say too there are two main things or two real things that were actuall afraid of in life. There are two things were born afraid of. One is falling two is loud sounds. They have tested those two things. Think about it with babies. Think about it. A lot of people remember that famous Research Study we they put the babies out to go on this plexiglass which would mimic them going over the cliff and the babies wouldnt do it. Thats fascinating. Very interesting. The only two fears were predy supposed to or born with i think when you scare someone or see it on tv you can tell almost immediately by someones reaction if they like it or not. Some people will be like and laugh. Or they will be like they scared me im immediately mad. You know. I wanted to share something transitioning a little bit, this is for all of the grandparents out there. My parents included. It turns out that Research Proves it is good for grandma to babysit the kids. This is fantastic. Just another way to convince em weekend. They say it doesnt just add joy to your life, it can also help the grandparent in their golden years. The big Research Study grandmother who is help with childcare at least one day a week scored better on cognitive test so they are less likely to get dementia and alzheimers. And there was a study conducted by the womens Healthy Aging project that administered they also said too much babysitting can backfire. Grandmother who is baby sat five or more times a week not so good. Et c its exhausting im sur. Absolutely. Spending time with grandparents grandparentsis really good for s well. Its great to talk about how it benefits grandma, but the kids too spending time with grandmas at least once a week is a win kids are better off for hear being history and getting a new perspective. Do you like to be scared is our soundoff. We look forward to hearing your responses. I like that. Do you like, you dont like to be scared right . I hate it. I used to be scared as many times as scooby doo. [laughter] not a lot of people are scared of scooby doo, but i we have a special treat for you today.

Todays skincare products made with green tea that are effective and a dr. Anne riordan is a md and Board Certified dermatologist and the creator of azfasst. I can tell you from trying these one of the things that makes them fantastic is how wonderful they smell. Were all about the smell. Makeup and products. Like hair spray. Absolutely. Skincare too. Part of it it makes you use them more. You want that morning burst when you use it in the morning they and get you going and you also look fabulous. I like that. Fabulous for the day. Tell us about why you developed this. This is really your baby. Absolutely. It started because so many of my patients could not figure out what to use in the drug store. There are so many products so many ingredients they werent sure what to use based on their skin type, what their issues were and things like that. I pulled together using green tea and organic products botanical green tea products we have in address a whole host of skin issues that people have to deal with like enlarged pours, sun spots, the eye cream helps with the crows feet and the dark circles, helps with the redness that a lot of people get and it is easy. Its the cleanser, the facial gel, the moisturizer we even have a product for sensitive skin folks that have a hard time using products. And it has been tremendous. You mentioned the green tea, truly unique or is there Something Else . We all know the benefits of drinking green tea. Thats what makes the product unique. There are other ingredients for example, the facial gel has salasilic acid that helps tighten the pores. And exfoliate. That gives the skin that glow. I love it. A lot of problems it can address. I acne too. Thats the great thing about it it does help to shrink pours and get rid of the oil also diminishes a lot of the inflammation thats where the green tea component comes in to get rid of the redness. People always wonder when they start something new what are the steps . The steps are so easy. I mean i have a big dermatology practice and so i dont have a so, the steps are real simple. There is the cleanser, the facial gel and moisturizer. The cleanser has no perfumes or preservatives in it. That goes for all of the products it is really easy and gets all of your makeup off. Then the facial gel it dries quickly. Then you can put the moisturizer on it is real light, but also really hydrates your skin so it makes a perfect palette for your makeup when you go to apply it. I love that. How soon can you see when you use a product like this . Most people will notice a difference in 7 to 10 days. You can see these are my patients i took before and after photos of and you can see this was a real big outdoors woman. She liked to cycle did not like the brown spots she got after the summer. Started to use the azfasst facial gel and the complete skincare line. Big difference in about a month. Thats fast. When you think about it working and this one too i think because you talk about the age spots as i have rosacia so im in touch with how this works especially when not wearing makeup. Are you a fan of still using spf . Absolutely im a dermatologist. Thats the biggest antiager people should do anyway. Spf, i tell people minimum of an spf30 when youre outside in direct sunlight, reapply every two hours when youre out. But just get it into your morning routine as well. I think thats real important. Routine sort of being healthy. Are these different products or the same ones . These are this is the eye cream which you saw in the first before and after that shows the tremendous improvement in the crows feet. Yeah those wrinkles there. This is the sensitive skin facial gel for the sensitive skin folks that i mentioned that have a hard time using different products and are afraid they dont want to get irritated that is also there. This is our gift set which is wonderful for you know, anything that comes up or people give the gift of skincare. And the step i use was the three piece set. That must include the cleanser, and i use the gel as well as the moisturizer. That is one of your best sellers right . Its complete. It is easy, it is all there in a complete set includes all three products so that way you can just go through your three step process in the morning and at night. You are set to go.

How often do you see that people are truly saving cash . Well, every day. You know, we see it every day. This year specifically for open enrollment a little history on open enrollment for us even, the last few years even the last five years the market has been very very ste i remember you saying that. Where everything has been kind of the same over and over you kind of mostly deal with people that are new to medicare. Even during open enrollment. This year there is just an explosion of new plans and really exciting things that are actually out there for people to actually look at. So people that have been on the same plan for years and years this year can say im going to call Sovereign Select because they have all of the plans that there is all of these new plans lets check them out. I love thats what you do. Each year you have been here taltalk about it you dont cause this mass chaos saying you got to check, you got to check. You have said hey it is pretty much the same, but i will check it out for you anyway. This year you are saying its a whole new ballgame. This year we like to cause mass chaos a little bit. There is a lot more going on. When people call you what is the step . What happens . First thing were going to were going to figure out where they live, kind of what their medications are, what their specific needs are. Kind of, as a whole. You know whether it is financial needs, prescription needs, health needs et cetera and figure out what their Current Situation is. Maybe they are on a Group Insurance plan for a employer or previous employer, maybe they are losing that. Maybe they are on a medication advantage plan or supplement or and basically what were going to do is just take all of that information, and work that through a system, that is going to tell us okay, well our own system thats going to tell us well, what is the better plan that can make their situation better is it going to save them some money . Or not . Yeah. Or is it best to stay with the Current Situation they are in . One of the things i like about from working with you on the insurance aspect you will give options. You say these are the best options and this is my with them before or you know this really seems to meet your priority the best. Because that is what is so confusing for people. There is so much information and so just to figure out gosh this is what i need or this is what i dont need you really break it down for people. And a big one these days is simply are my doctors covered . And are my prescriptions covered . If we can get those two things narrowed down we can really kind of open up the door. So important when you have spent your whole life with one switch because they are not included. Lets talk about these group events you hold. I think they are so valuable for people to understand some information. Starting with your event your first ones which are the medicare 101s, these are educational only. These are more geared towards people that are brandnew to medicare, if they are turning 65, disabled and becoming new to medicare, or if they are retiring and losing some sort of Group Health Insurance or even want to look at well what are the otherio continuing some sort of group or Retiree Health plan, these are going to help kind of really break that down. Were going to educate a person on or a group of people on part a of medicare, part b, c, d, and medicare supplements and kind of how they all work. These are strictly educational so they dont show any specific products. We dont try to you know sell anybody anything. So they are very just educational and community based. How about the next one. Advantage Group Meetings these have a licensed agent you will provide specific plans. Yes. So this one, im actually presenting these meetings myself. Which is fun. I love doing those. And these meetings were actually we do these every year basically during open enrollment only and they are really just to showcase all of the new plans that are available during open enrollment for people to choose from for the following year.
