No Tricks, Just Treats…in Moderation!

Today I had some crafty fun preparing for the neighborhood kids who will be trick-or-treating next weekend. Originally I had intended just to give away mini Larabars because, well, they are awesome and wholesome and I like the idea of introducing more people to their deliciousness.

However, during discussion of this plan with my husband, he pointed out that it might be nice to provide a little bit of traditional sugar with the Larabars, and spread my oft-repeated message of enjoying all things in moderation. I thought this made sense, so although we are not departing entirely from the candy-distribution tradition, instead of 2 or 3 mini candy bars like we usually give each little ghost or goblin, this year each will receive one Larabar and one traditional treat, along with one of my health coaching business cards!

That’s where the craftiness comes in. I wrote a little message on the back of each card, and punched a hole in the corner. Then I took some ribbon through the hole and stapled one piece of candy and one mini Larabar to the ribbon. The final step was to tie it up and curl the ends—voila! A cute little treat that will spread my message and provide my contact information, just in case anyone in the neighborhood wants to enlist my health coaching services after the sugar-induced Halloween comas wear off.

Speaking of which, there is still room in my upcoming “Sugar Blues” teleclass! This free 1-hour teleclass is on Wednesday, November 3rd at 8 p.m. EST. Visit my website to sign up today!
