The C Word





Fight the C word One Step at a Time


Beast cancer is caused by cells in the breast that become abnormal and multiply forming a tumor. 1 in 8 American women will develop Breast Cancer.  While we can't walk in their shoes we can help fight Cancer one step at a time.  



Spread the word about Mammograms  


Early detection saves lives. There's a  better chance to fight Breast cancer if found early and treated.

R2D2

Robots Vs Humans


You think it's frustrating talking to a person in a call center?  If  you're insured with GEICO or Allstate, within 3 years you'll probably be talking to a robot.  These companies have invested in Artificial Intelligence.  Google and Amazon are helping spread the word about virtual assistance and this technology is reshaping how some companies do business.  Soon when you call to make payments or ask coverage questions you might find yourself talking to R2D2.

Smart Home


Products like Nest and Amazon Echo have become common household names but customers are also looking for smart air purifiers, heating systems, alarms and even smart coffee machines.

Every Bunny needs Insurance



Claim Happy


You probably don't want to hear this but the truth is, if you don't want to pay more for insurance, don't be claim happy.  If the price to repair is close to your deductible, don't file a claim.  Having no accidents/claims for 3 years gets you a better rate - insurance companies like low risk drivers. [sorry]


Property Damage


If you are rearended, the other driver is at fault, file what is called a "Property Damage" claim directly with the other driver's insurance company to repair your car.   This way you don't have to lay out a out of pocket deductible. 

On-line Defensive Driving Courses


Taking the Defensive Driving course saves 10% on insurance for 3 years.  On-line 6 hour courses are usually more affordable and you can take up to 30 days to finish.  Here's a link to NY approved Defensive Driving Course providers.

Multi-Line

If you bundle all your insurance with the same company you get Multi-Line discounts saving you up to 25% [nice].



Every Bunny needs Insurance...Happy Easter💕

U Drive. U Text. U Pay.

April is Distracted Driver Awareness Month


On Any Given Day


82% of 17 yr olds own a cell phone and 34% of those say they've texted while driving.
Sending texts, taking your eyes off the road for just 5 seconds, at 55 mph, that's like driving the length of a football field with your eyes closed.

On any given day over half a million drivers are using cell phones while driving. [scary]
Teen drivers are the largest age group reported as distracted at the time of fatal crashes.


Safety Awareness


Protect lives by never texting while driving.  Speak out if the driver is distracted and encourage friends and family to just drive.  Help protect lives by taking the pledge to end texting while driving.


Take the pledge #Just Drive


I pledge to Just Drive for my own safety and for others with whom I share the roads. I choose to not drive distracted in any way – Click on link below to take the pledge.

Distracted Driver Pledge



Distracted - not just Texting 


Applying mascara while driving makes you three times more likely to be in a car accident.
