From Cygnia Rapp, founder – Melt® Buttery Spread:

Greetings!  I wanted to share with my Club Melt friends how I am kicking off 2011 to be a great one.  I hope you will do the same!

• Training for the Boulder Mountain Tour (it's a nordic skiing competition, but I think training for any kind of challenging event is a healthy goal)
• Every morning have a heaping spoonful of virgin coconut oil and a good squeeze of organic unrefined flax oil in my steel cut oats.
• Take a sabbatical from alcohol (for real!)
• Take my first vacation in 3 years (woohoo!)
• Connect with family
• Be grateful for all the great people and opportunities in my life

OK, that's MY list….what about yours?

"Eat better, live better"  is our mantra here at Club Melt headquarters.  Simply said, our goal is to provide great tasting, high quality products through innovative uses of healthy fats and oils that allow consumers to eat better, feel better and live better.

Now that you know what's on our collective mind, how about returning the favor?  Tell us how you plan on creating and sustaining a healthier lifestyle in 2011 and beyond  – whether it's eating and buying local and organic foods, exercising more frequently, meditating daily, volunteering or just having more fun – we want to hear about it!  And to give you a little  motivation, we will be posting our favorite idea of the week to our website.  At the end of March, we'll draw one grand prize winner and award him or her $300 in groceries and $200 to their local foodbank.  Here's the scoop on the details:
