Seven Peaks Party Tonight for all Employees!

Get ready to get wet and eat lots of good food! Tonight is our summer party for all employees and their families at Seven Peaks Water Park from 6 to 10:30! The slides and pools will be open, and there will be lots of great food. It's a party you won't want to miss!

Our production line

Every day we produce thousands of candles. Every time I come to work, there is a different fragrance being poured. When I leave work, people say I smell like a candle! I like most fragrances, but some are too strong like chewy cherry and peppermint. Most employees close their office doors when those scents are being poured because the fragrances are too strong. :)

We have the capacity to make 100,000 candles a day. This is a picture of our production area. It is always full of boxes, supplies and employees. We have several lines going at once to keep the production moving. We are entering our busiest time of the year when we are getting ready to ship for Christmas.

Twins!

Fridays are nice because we can wear jeans and dress casually. Today was no exception. Most employees are wearing jeans and their most comfortable shirts.

You know the saying, "Great minds think alike?" Well, this happened today. LaRen and Ashley in our sales and marketing department had the same idea of what to wear. They both wore cute black and white striped shirts and jeans. With their blond hair, they could be twins!

Richard and Noah in our IT department also had the same idea to wear a pink shirt with horizontal stripes. They said they didn't plan it, and they did not want a picture. :)

So it looks like we have a lot of "great minds that think alike" here!

Seven Peaks Water Park

Corporate Alliance is sponsoring an event at Seven Peaks Water Park in Provo tonight from 4 to 8. Several of our employees are going. They have all sorts of things to do. They have huge water slides, and giant swimming pools. It will be fun!

Walking Club

We started a Walking Club at For Every Body last week. Employees who want to join can go walking at lunch everyday. It is a great way to have fun and exercise at the same time! Great company and exercise. We have four members so far and we are continuing to grow! We only have two more weeks left in the Biggest Loser contest. So we need to get going!

Diet Coke Campaign

Some people like diet coke and others LOVE it. Well, we have a few For Every Body employees that absolutely LOVE diet coke here. One employee is in our sales department. Her name is Ashley. She cannot go a day without it.

On the other hand, Sue, in product development, is more on the "like" side. She likes diet coke every once in a while, but not every day. A couple of weeks ago, Sue and I went to a "Fit and Fabulous" seminar. After that, Sue decided that diet coke wasn't for her anymore.

Sue and Ashley share an office. Everyday Sue tells Ashley that she is drinking "diet poison." This does not stop Ashely. She still LOVES her diet coke.

Other employees like Anita, one of our graphic artists, have also tried to stop Ashley from drinking diet coke, but no one has done it yet.

We'll keep trying to help Ashley kick the habit. I don't know how successful we'll be, but we can try! Let me know if you have any tips.
