Happy Labor Day from Sunrider

What does Labor Day commemorate exactly? According to the U.S. Department of Labor, “Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."


Today, many Americans celebrate the holiday with a much-welcomed reprieve from work. We often spend this time with friends and family, enjoying leisurely activities such as barbeques, beach trips, and backyard shindigs.
We want to wish all of you a wonderful Labor Day and thanks to all for your hard work and contributions!
Here are a few suggestions to incorporate Sunrider into your Labor Day festivities. Whatever you do, be sure to enjoy it.

Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce is a delicious marinade, dipping sauce, or topping for everything from meats and  vegetables to salads, pasta dishes, and more.

Chilled Fortune Delight® and Calli® are always yummy favorites on hot days to stay hydrated and refreshed.

Slather on a Sunrider® sunscreen like Oi-Lin® Sunmilk SPF 25 to protect your delicate skin against the shining sun’s harmful rays.

Be sure to wash all your fruits and vegetables with
SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse. It lets you and your family enjoy cleaner, brighter, and better-tasting produce.

There are plenty of ways you can add Sunrider fun to your holiday, creating a happy and healthy event for all…use your imagination!

A Happy & Healthy Valentine’s Day

Don’t plan another hum-drum outing on the most romantic day of the year. Forget the dinner and movie combo, the fattening sweets, and the store bought cards. This Valentine’s, treat your special someone to a date that will create long-lasting memories and boost your well-being, too.

Cook as a Couple

Making dinner as a team is much more original (and easier on the waistline) than hitting your favorite date-night spot. Stroll the supermarket and choose scrumptious good-for-you foods to cook a delicious meal at home. Think salmon and asparagus, or grilled chicken and sautéed vegetables, and use Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce to create a delicious and nutritious marinade. Use your imagination and bon appétit!

Hike ‘til Your Heart’s Content

If you and your sweetie are outdoor types, taking a hike together is a great activity idea. There’s nothing more romantic than a stroll through beautiful, secluded trails. Pack a picnic lunch and you can dine outside (if it’s cold out, bundle up!). If you’re sore when you get home, break out the SunBreeze® Balm & Oil for a relaxing massage.

Be a Tourist

Plan a tour of your city with your beloved. Many people get comfortable and don’t explore their own city, so now’s the time to act like a tourist and get better acquainted! Walk the streets and visit museums, art galleries, or other spots you don’t usually visit. This way you can create beautiful memories together all while walking-off calories.

Raise Your Heart Rate

Be active this Valentine’s and plan a fun sporting session! Go ice-skating, river-rafting, parasailing, surfing, skiing, sledding, horseback riding, or any other exciting activity that’s available in your area. Pack your Sunrise® to help keep your energy level up for all the fun you’ll be having! Trying different things together are great for bonding, and you’ll get a workout, too!

Red, White, and Blue, Whatever Will You Do?

The 4th of July is just two days away—how are you going to celebrate? Whether you have a beloved Independence Day tradition or you want to shake things up a little this year, there’s many fun and interesting ways to honor this important American holiday.

Plan a Family Get-Together
Round up brothers and sisters, moms and dads, nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, and in-laws, add a grill, fresh food, a dash of red, white, and blue, and enjoy some quality time with the fam! Cook a delicious and healthy meal on the grill with Dr. Chen® Secret Sauce while the kiddies play and the grown-ups relax and catch-up on life.

Attend a Parade
Everyone loves a good parade, so find one in your area and go! Pack snacks the adults and kids will enjoy like Sunbars and NuPuffs®, bring along water and Sunrider® teas to stay hydrated in the summer sun, don the patriotic stars and stripes and engage in some good ole American fun.

Help a Soldier
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. Troops are stationed overseas, missing the chance to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. You can help them feel more at home by sending a care package! Fill it with Sunrider goodies such as Fortune Delight® and Calli®, VitaShake®, and Sunbreeze® oil! They’ll be happy to receive something that’s good for them from the USA! Anysoldier.com, thecarepackageproject.com, and operationshoebox.com are great resources for this Independence Day project! Do your own research, though, and be creative!

Learn More
It’s easy to forget that the 4th of July is about celebrating America’s independence from Britain, not lake and beach activities, hotdogs and hamburgers, and pool parties. Most of us could stand to learn more about this holiday and the American Revolution. Visit your local library and become more knowledgeable about this extraordinary day in American history. Did you know that most delegates actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 2? See! Expand your knowledge and visit!

Whatever you choose to do, we here at Sunrider hope you have a safe and happy holiday! Happy planning!
