Hydrate Your Skin With a Watermelon Spa Day
Summer’s end marked the close of the watermelon online carving contest, hosted
via the What About Watermelon? blog and promoted through social media. This
was a record-breaking year with a whopping 221% increase in carving participants
The entries spanned the five carving categories of Most Elegant, Best Basket,
Funniest, Best Animal, and Best Star-Spangled Watermelon, with the grand prize
people’s choice winner being a Darth Vader carving. As the saying goes, “Save a
Pumpkin, Carve a Watermelon.” Winners received Amazon gift cards and online
recognition in all of our digital spaces. The first 25 entries also received a watermelon cutting board courtesy of our friends at Dexas. To view all of the finalists,

NWPB partnered with the folks at Ready, Set,
Grow in their Spring/Summer publication for
the first time this year. Ready, Set, Grow is a
publication that was developed by the
National Association of Pediatric Nurse
Practitioners ( www.napnap.org) to help make
busy moms’ lives easier. They pair their counseling and recommendations along a number
of dimensions with the products and/or
services that the consumer marketplace
provides. The Spring/Summer edition of
Ready, Set, Grow began national distribution
in late May across a network of nearly 6,000
pediatric offices. The edition will be in distri-
bution until October 2014.
