Come On Along Let’s All Get Healthy!

August 16, 2011 by Ava Kaufman Leave a Comment

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to personally thank ModernMom for featuring my DWTS blog and everyone who took the time to read it and comment.

Jade and I are on our way to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to participate in Sanford Health’s Fitness Initiative. Tina Hill, my partner in Twist Shape ur Life and I are going to get 15 thousand kids moving! It’s going to be fantastic!

My daughter Jade is the spokesperson for a new incredible product called Juicy Faces and they are joining us too and will be giving out and introducing what I think is the coolest, healthiest way to get your kids to eat fruits and vegetables. Juicy Faces are not on the market yet, but will be very soon!

Moms, this product is incredible. Juicy Faces are eatable stickers made of all natural products. Kids will have fun putting the edible ears, noses, eyes, on fruits and vegetables! It’s a great way to interest your kids into eating healthy at a young age. They come in a peel of paper and they are easy to slip right on your tongue. The fruity taste is very subtle so everyone will like them.

However, the fun begins when your child can put them on apples, celery sticks, cucumbers, banana slices, carrot sticks and on and on. They can decorate and make actual faces. My daughter was involved in a test study. There were fruits with stickers or incredible cupcakes to chose from – every single child chose the fruit. Why? Because kids love stickers! Jade is 14 and both she and I had a blast decorating our vegetables.

I will keep you posted on when they are launching and info on how and where to get them. So looking forward to this event! I am hoping Tina and I can share our knowledge and message on the importance of kids staying fit and healthy! I will also take this incredible opportunity to advocate for Donate Life and Ava’s Heart. I feel so lucky to have been invited and to be able to share all of this with my daughter, Jade. Wish me luck! Thank you everyone! 🙂
