Expo West

Take 815,000 square feet of exhibit space inside the Anaheim Convention Center, add a crowd of 52,000+ individuals and you've got yourself a trade show called Natural Products Expo West - the country's largest natural, organic, and healthy products trade show. Attendees include retailers, manufacturers, and industry professionals in addition to nearly 3,400 exhibitors.

Since Expo is a place to see and be seen, it was only natural that Corazonas participated in the show as an exhibitor! We debuted our brand new booth (pictured above), introduced potato chips to a myriad of new fans and hosted "Party Hearty Hour" on Friday afternoon. Party Hearty Hour was a fun-filled, happy hour with chips, dips, margaritas and more.

Look out for Corazonas at Expo West 2009!

Grateful for our Health & Family

I was blessed to spend the Easter weekend with my three brothers and their families. We don't get together as often as we'd like and always have a great time when we do! Having lost our parents and all of our grandparents, we cherish the time we have together and count ourselves as lucky to laugh as hard as we do on these occasions!
After two days of solid cooking (and now enjoying the leftovers - yummmm!!!!), Easter egg hunts, and long feasts, it is nice to just relax at night & fall asleep to the memories of the stories that were shared!
Today a very dear friend is in surgery for breast cancer, so I am reminded how important our health is and that we simply can not take it for granted!!!! Yesterday I found out that I tore my ACL ligament in my knee skiing with Joe (see his earlier blog) on the most gorgeous of days at Copper Mountain 3 weeks ago, and I will need surgery - but at least my is not life threatening (maybe lifestyle threatening!!! :)!!! I will be putting that off until after my trip to Macchu Picchu in May! May we all continue to grab the most out of life!!!! Have a great day!

A sure sign you're getting old....

Being excited by the results of your annual cholesterol screening. For those scoring at home, my LDL is down -8% since last year. I've been making a point to eat well, exercise more and of course eat Corazonas chips! I'm pretty excited by the improvements in my Triglycerides and ratios too.

Here's to a happy heart!

Team Pledge Update

February is a month very close to our hearts here at Corazonas, and to celebrate Heart Health Month, our 13 person team undertook a pledge to exercise at a moderate-intensity (within 50-85% of our target heart rate zone) for a minimum of 30 minutes, 5 days a week.

We raced past our goal of 130 total hours and clocked in over 164! Leading the way was our cycle happy Controller, Morgan; VP of Sales, Matt, who undertakes everything within his target heart zone; Director of Sales and tennis ace, Langley; and VP of Operations, Greg, who chased his two little ones around for 15 hours straight!

Thanks to everyone for a terrific group effort and making every minute count!
