MELT® at MUUV!

We love to be healthy, and spreading tips on how to do so is part of the fun! We're super fortunate next week to have Kristen de Angeli joining us at MUUV to share the amazing product Melt! Kristen is the Director of Marketing for Prosperity Organic Foods. Launched in 2009 by founder Cygnia Rapp, Melt was the company's debut product, aimed at consumers seeking naturally great tasting and healthful food choices.

Kristin will be at MUUV next Tuesday May 24th. She will be joining us for Deep Dance Experience at 10 a.m. then giving away full-size tubs and valuable coupons for Melt after class. If you can't wait until next week to try it, you can find Melt at the Boise Co-op!

The talented Rayanne Fries was in the house again this week with amazing gluten-free baking by her company BAKE! Not only does Rayanne love to dance but she reigns supreme on gluten-free baking in Boise. We had a birthday party on Tuesday so Rayanne made something special and tailored it to the birthday girl's taste. So this time not only was the baking gluten free it was also Vegan! Check out the photo of the melt in your mouth Vegan Chai Whoopie Pies! Thank you Rayanne!

#2 We can't forget our furry friends this time of year! NAC-Northwest Animal Companions is a non-profit, no kill organization for animals. They have recently opened a huge and very cool thrift store ReStyle. Proceeds from the store go towards building their dream no-kill sanctuary. They offer foster care and low cost spay and neuter as well. But right now just having the basics helps immensely. Through Dec 22 feel free to bring in dog or cat food and kitty litter, and they will be overjoyed. Check out their website for more information about NAC the thrift store and more!
