Healthy Easter Toddler Snack Board
Calling all parents, grandparents, and party hosts! Toddler snack boards are a great way to offset the candy that this time of year brings — and they’re fun for adults to munch on, too. Some great options to include are:
- Red carrots
- Strawberries
- Purple cauliflower
- Red bell pepper cuts for “bowls”
- Hard-boiled eggs, halved, with Everything But The Bagel seasoning
- Colby jack cubes
- Sliced ham or turkey
- Garden veggie chip bunnies
- Annie’s organic honey bunny grahams
- Harvest Snaps pea crisps
- Jelly beans
- White chocolate bunny centerpiece

Springtime Blends with doTERRA
Spring is in the air! Welcome the aromas into your home with the refreshing essential oil blends listed below:
Element Tree Essentials
What better spring gift than a candle that can be used as luxurious lotion when it’s done burning? Stop in to view our collection of Element Tree Essentials lotion candles and pick up a few for your friends and family members today.
Washing Your BloqUV Clothing
Protecting your skin with clothing alone sounds great, but does UV-proof clothing actually work? BloqUV’s pieces are tested in third-party labs to calculate the amount of light that makes its way through each piece. Several pieces are checked, in every color, and in both wet and dry conditions.
This varifies the UPF of the clothing (the higher the score, the better!). All of BloqUV’s items score 50+ (the best possible outcome). Your typical white t-shirt is UPF 5, as a comparison.
If you’re ready to add convenient protection to your wardrobe (or gift these verified benefits this holiday season), simply stop by BeFitSRQ to shop our collection.

Give the gift of pain-free living this spring — to yourself or someone else! Laser therapy is a gentle, drug-free solution to arthritis and joint pain, neck and back pain, past injuries, and more. Gift cards are available if you have a loved one coming to mind.
