KidStar Ventures into the Dragons’ Den!

I launched my company KidStar Nutrients one short month before COVID closed borders, schools, stores and many businesses. At the time no one knew how long or how far spread it would be, and no one could predict anything about the virus and what lay ahead. Yet, we...

Late last year we welcomed two new members to the family… Juno and Rex! 🐈🐈Because there is nothing better than kittens and chaos! These two have quickly become the stars of the show at home, and at the office. It has been all hands on deck watching these two grow up.

Get the cat(s)!#cat #cats_of_instagram #kitten #officecats #kidstarnutrients ... See MoreSee Less
