Tina is not a big fan of vegetables or exercise and her friend came across this hilarious story and re-titled it…”If Tina were a doctor…” 

Enjoy!!

 Q: Doctor Gill,  I’ve heard that  cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? A: Your  heart is only good for so many  beats, and that’s it… don’t waste them on exercise. Everything wears out  eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that’s like saying you can extend  the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer?  Take a  nap.
Q: Should  I cut  down on meat and  eat more fruits and  vegetables? A: You  must grasp  logistical efficiencies.  What does a cow eat? Hay and corn.   And what are these?  Vegetables.  So a steak  is nothing more  than an efficient mechanism of  delivering vegetables to your  system.   Need grain?   Eat  chicken.   Beef is also a good source  of field grass  (green leafy vegetable).   And a pork chop can give you  100% of your recommended daily allowance of  vegetable products.
Q: Should  I reduce my  alcohol intake? A:  No,  not at all.  Wine is made from  fruit.  Brandy is  distilled wine,  that means they take the water out of  the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that  way.   Beer is also made out  of grain.  Bottoms   up!
Q: How  can I calculate my body/fat   ratio? A: Well,  if you have a body and you have  fat, your ratio is one  to one.  If you have two bodies, your  ratio is two to  one, etc.
Q: What  are some of  the advantages of participating in a regular exercise  program? A: Can’t  think of a single one, sorry.  My  philosophy is: No  Pain…Good!
Q:  Aren’t  fried  foods bad for you? A:  YOU’RE  NOT  LISTENING!!! …..  Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil.  In fact,  they’re permeated in it.  How could  getting more  vegetables be bad for  you?
Q:  Will  sit-ups  help prevent me from getting a little soft  around the middle? A: Definitely  not! When  you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be  doing sit-ups if you want a bigger   stomach.
Q:  Is   chocolate bad for me? A:  Are   you crazy? HELLO   Cocoa  beans ! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good   food around!
Q:  Is   swimming good for your figure? A:  If   swimming is good for  your figure,   explain whales to  me.
Q:  Is getting   in-shape important for my   lifestyle? A:  Hey!  ‘Round’ is  a shape!
Well,   I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may   have had about  food   and diets.
And  remember: ‘Life should  NOT  be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving  safely in an attractive and well preserved  body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one  hand – chocolate in  the other – body thoroughly used up,  totally worn out and   screaming ‘WOO  HOO, What a  Ride’
AND…..
For  those of you who watch what you eat, here’s the final  word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to know the  truth after all those conflicting nutritional  studies.
1. The Japanese eat  very little fat and suffer  fewer heart attacks than  Americans.
2. The Mexicans  eat a lot of  fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.
3. The Chinese  drink very little  red wine and  suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.
4. The  Italians drink a lot of red  wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than  Americans.
5. The Germans  drink a lot of beers and eat lots of  sausages and fats  and suffer fewer heart attacks than   Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking  English is apparently what kills  you.

I was so excited to come across this artcle on Ambajam written by Lauri Harrison of MomToBeDepot.

Our goal in 2009 is to really expand out presence into some of the great baby and gift boutiques around the country, and we are very excited by the progress we have made already. 

Ambajam is now available in boutiques on the East Coast, West Coast, down South  and all sorts of places in between!  Click here  for the full list of stores…we will continue to update the list as we expand into more stores. 

We exhibited at the New York International Gift Fair in January.  This was our first real tradeshow experience and it was exciting, daunting and, of course, exhausting!  Overall we had a great and validating experience.  The line was really well received and people commented on the great fabrics, vibrant colors and whimsical designs of the line.  The Cuddle-up Blankets were a huge hit – no surprise there as they are really quite irrestible if we do say so ourselves! 

One of the most exciting things about the show was that we were visited by the buyers from giggle - an independent chain of wonderful, contempoary baby boutiques.  I have been a fan of giggle’sfor a long, long time and since starting Ambajam had dreamed of having my products in their stores.  They are very selective about the products they introduce into their stores and I had  heard it was pretty tough to get in.  The fact that the buyers…and then the founder of giggle…stopped by our booth and complimented the line was enough to put me on cloud nine!  When we returned to Denver and received a call from giggle saying they were interested in carrying our blankets I almost keeled over with excitement!  If you are unfamiliar with giggle definitely check them out either online or at one of their 9 retail locations  around the country. 

If you think Ambajam would be a good fit in your town, or you know of a great store we should check out, we’d love to hear from you – you can email us at info@ambajam.com
