JMC Retail Group Volunteered with Every Meal
The Holidays are such a busy season but thankfully JMC Owner, Camille prioritizes helping others. As a team, we were able to make a difference by packing meals for local families in need. In a two hour time frame we helped pack 3,414 bags of food which equates to 13,086 meals. What a humbling honor to serve those in need…. while having a complete BLAST as a team!
Volunteer team time is the best time!
Bala Bangles Launches at Target for the New Years!
It's 2024, and you may thinking- my home gym could use an upgrade. Move over sad pile of dumbbells and welcome a happy colorful array of Bala Bangles sold at your local Target! They are small in size, highly effective and multifunctional. Bala Bangles are wrist and ankle weights - basically wearable weights you strap on to your body during workouts to add some extra resistance. You can wear the Bangles during workouts like yoga or Pilates or even when you're out on a walk, mixing some strength work into your cardio (we love a two-for-one). Bala also offers classes showing you how to work up a sweat with their equipment, including Bangles and more.
We love working with the Bala Team and look forward to all that’s to come in 2024!
