A Little Bit About Us

CEO and San Francisco native Apollonia Jordan was born and raised in beautiful San Francisco. She studied English linguistics at San Francisco State University and has been an entrepreneur working as a freelance journalist and Entertainment Editor for the past 15 years. 

​

In 2006, Apollonia gave birth to her one and only son Armond. Armond was later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder causing him to have both developmental and cognitive issues. Being a single mother and raising a child with autism took a toll on Apollonia and during the pandemic and shortly prior, Apollonia and Armond suffered from homlessness.

 

After securing housing, Apollonia decided to start her own business and sell her own portable hand sanitizer machines The APsanitizer, which was a success due to the rise in Covid-19 cases during the pandemic.

 

Health and wellness has become a key priority for both Apollonia and her son.

Having autism can make trying new and different textures of food challenging. This made it difficult for Armond to get the proper nutrition he needed and caused him to be low in vitamin D and other nutrients. Apollonia wanted to make healthy lifestyle changes for both her and her growing son, Thus, the BlendAR portable blender was born.

​

The BlendAR is named after Apollonia's son Armond. 

When you purchase a BlendAR blender you are not only providing yourself with nutrition, you're helping to make a difference in the life of a child with autism! The BlendAR has built in safety features that allow Armond to independently prepare organic smoothies, drinks, snacks and foods.  Order each of your family members a BlendAR of their own!

​

The BlendAR was recently awarded a US Trademark! Congratulations!
