Labor Day. Summer’s last hurrah. As we all enjoy the last moments of an epic summer we must also say goodbye. This summer, Oral Fixation was lucky to host not one but two incredible French young ladies as interns. Anne-Gael and Marie spent 8 weeks with us in Hopewell learning about the mint business and the American way of life. We in turn got the chance to brush up on our French and experience a little of that European “joie de vivre” during our workday. It was a blast really. Too much fun and a unique cultural experience. Seen above with Henry at their going away party Anne-Gael and Marie are two Frenchies our company will never forget. Merci beaucoup ladies! We miss you already…

Below are some of my favorite pictures. For the full recap of their 8 week stay, check our their blog: http://hopewellcity.skyrock.com

This week Oral Fix has been coming down off their sugar high from the recent All Candy Expo, in Chicago. The Expo was sponsored by the National Confectioners Association and featured 450 confectionary and snack companies from around the world. A sugar rush filled the room as the Expo attracted nearly 15,000 industry professionals to check out all that was hot, new and creative in the sweets industry. It was the perfect event for people in the candy and snack business to get a glimpse into over 2,000 new snack and confectionary items before they hit store shelves. The fun filled atmosphere of the 2008 All Candy Expo was the most successful, sales-driven show ever and definitely turned out to be a hit!

Spring is in the air and its time to look your best! Slip into a fabulous dress, glam it up with some blingin jewelry and pin on a corsage; its Prom season! Oral Fix and O2 Max gym recently helped a group of teens look beautiful for their big day.This season, O2 Max gym, located in the Los Angeles area, focused on teens dealing with the obesity epidemic and created “Get ready for Prom workout challenge.” All teens participating were put on a strict exercise regimen and in the end; these beauty queens were primped and pampered with a day of makeup and hair tips, perfect for prom! To keep the members motivated and complete their looks, each glamourella was given a set of Oral Fix mints, for minty fresh breath to last ‘til dawn! With the help of O2 Max and Oral Fix, these girls were the Belle’s of the Ball!

Are y’all ready for some exciting news? For those of you that did not have the distinct pleasure of joining us on Saturday May 3rd, Oral Fixation celebrated the launch of NEW flavor Peppermint Mocha! Yes, a new flavor plus a smashing party to boot! We decided to launch Peppermint Mocha our delicious chocolate espresso mint at the annual SCAA this year in Minneapolis, MN to give all of our coffee shop fans an exclusive first taste and throw an unforgettable party.

We chose to stay at the uber cool Chambers Hotel (we highly recommend) and Saturday night invited all of our dearest friends, hipster baristas, and coffee industry big wigs to the luxe Rock Star Suite for lots of mingling and mints. Complete with an enormous wrap around balcony, the Rock Star Suite was pretty much the coolest hotel room we’d ever been in and easily lent itself to be made over Oral Fixation style. As our guests arrived they sipped on Rhum Clement Mojitos, Svedka Vodka Cranberries, and our pod tub full of Summit Brewery IPA’s was such a hit it made the Top Ten countdown of things not to miss at the SCAA 2008.

The drinks flowed all evening and our kick ass server Mark passed around the yummiest hors d’oeuvres catered by the renowned Jean Georges. Henry talked up the guests, Eric served the drinks, and I worked the door as the menacing bouncer. Just kidding. It was truly an Oral Fixation love fest and everyone had such a fabulous time! If you live in the Twin Cities area be sure to pick up a copy of the June Issue of Twin Cities Luxury & Fashion. Party pics of our guests and a full wrap up will be featured in the Seen & Heard section, thanks to Nicole and all the editors!

Until next time Minneapolis
