I love organic brands, esp for beauty. I couldn't resist swatching every lipstick from Soultree's. See if you like the colours.

By    14:26 // No comments

I have been trying many organic lipsticks (all from India) and so far, Soultree is my favourite for its lasting powers, its subtle geranium smell and the colours that work well with my skin tone. Soultree hasn't paid me for this - I genuinely admire this brand so much. If you're on the fence for buying one, hope this video helps you decide.

Memory And The Lost Cause
The Mississippi River is a marvel. It is filthy, contaminated and mostly unsuitable for swimming, drinking or fishing. It is also, for me, steadying and grounding.

US healthcare system or travel abroad? [Discussion]

By    01:26 // No comments

American health care is so ludicrously expensive – and often bureaucratic and frustrating – that many Americans now find they are better combining a trip with medical care. Cheaper, and in many ways less stressful than the United States of overblown medical costs.

I've seen reports of people traveling to Europe or Asia for dental work or optometry, for which in Europe they charge up to $15 per tooth or eye.

[Question - Insurance] Should I pay the hospital first or wait for insurance's response first?

By    10:11 // No comments

I have a claim that is past deadline (3 months old) with united healthcare, I missed one of the required documents and therefore got no coverage for the charges. I am currently trying to solve this issue with united healthcare by submitting the info required late.

​

However, the hospital on the other hand has already asked for me to bill the full price already. Should I first pay the hospital and then dispute with healthcare or ignore the bill for now? If I pay the full bill to the hospital now can I still get money back?
