Check the back of your products...

First off, sorry not posting at all last week, homework and a new project for a fundraiser consumed my week. 

But as I was going through the week I noticed something, on the back of my dried fruit bag and my parents bag of pistachios... they will have a saying that they are heart healthy or approved through the American Heart Association. I think that's awesome! I'm also not saying you should walk through the store looking at the back of every product put I can't stress enough to look at the American Heart Association Website about a good diet and what to get at the store. 





REMINDER: Feb. 3rd, it National Wear Red Day! I'm going to be wearing Red for my Grandma. Who will you wear red for? Even it's for no one you know, do it for a fight to find a cure and get awareness out there.


 Also, I'll be putting my team to walk this week (I hope), so keep those fundraising ideas coming :)!

Finally, I would like to invite my local friends on here following me to the Utica Fire Department fundraiser at this Downtown Utica Winter Fest Feb. 11-12 from 12 p.m. til 4p.m. to help come suppose the UFD EMS bike team. We're asking for a good will donation of money, and we will have hot dogs, hot chocolate, hot coffee, and chips. SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come support and help out! I will be there both days helping to take donations! I'll will remind again and post more details this week and next week about what else will be going on down there!

  1. I think it is great that food labels are doing this! With the American Heart Association putting their name and logo on it you know you can trust it.
