Healthy Living Summit 2012: Day 1

August 18, 2012 | fitness, running

;

Hi friends! Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day! I am so tired but having a blast! Ok, so let’s backtrack. My morning started off with a solo run along the river. I decided I probably wasn’t going to get up for the Saturday run, so I decided to take on a few miles on my own. Let me tell you, it was BLISS! Not only was it scenic, but oh my gosh low humidity and temps. I was in HEAVEN!

There was a nice path that went along the water with the road on the other side. There were plenty of other bikers and runners out and about.

There were some nice shady areas as well.

I would love to have a great place like this to run all the time. Love.

After my run I took a quick shower and then it was time for the whole foods mini mingle!

Roomies!

Me and Lynda

Our group walked about 20 minutes to Whole Foods and we grabbed lunch at the salad bar.

Well, I got a turkey sandwich.

Then, we had to walk back because it was registration time! Team healthy Living Blogs, GO!

Bathroom photo fun.

We got everything ready for registration with only a few minor glitches. I was in the swag bag room with Mary and we were in charge of punching holes in people’s name badges and giving them their bags.

That’s not even all the bags.

We had a great time, and I am wiped. I will save the cocktail party for the next post.

Don’t forget, my session on social media trends is at 3:30 EST and people will be live tweeting, using the hashtag #HLSmedia so be sure to join in the fun!

QOTD: What item would you love to see in a swag bag?

    Your run looks like it was amazing. It’s always so nice finding a great place to go on a run when you’re traveling. And it looks like everyone is having a fantastic time at HLS.

    I always like to get things I haven’t tried before in my swag bags. Food samples are always welcome, especially if I get hungry. 🙂

Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t q Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t quite the same. A little more thinning, my scalp hasn’t felt the same, and I’ve spent more time just throwing it up into a ponytail, and honestly not giving it much thought beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I started becoming more intentional about actually taking care of my hair and scalp, and it’s such a small shift, but it really does make me feel better.

I’ve been using Mochi Health’s personalized hair support options, which makes it easier to stay consistent instead of guessing what to use. It fits into my routine and finally feels like I’m doing something proactive for myself instead of just hiding it in a bun. Check out the link in my bio for $40 off your first month.

Embarkation day on the Disney Wonder out of San Diego is pure organized chaos in the best way. Bags everywhere, everyone buzzing, and that moment you step onboard and suddenly forget how to function like a normal human.

We’re talking: Where are we even going first? Do we eat or explore or both immediately? Why does this already feel like the best decision ever?

And then the sail a wave party happens and… yeah. You’re gone. Mentally, emotionally, everything. 😭

If you know, you know…embarkation day hits different 🚢✨

Thanks @bestdayevervacay and Disney for hosting us on this magical adventure! Use the 🔗 in my bio to let then plan a cruise just like mine, down to the last detail!

Self-care always felt like something I’d start “wh Self-care always felt like something I’d start “when life slows down.”
So… never. 👀

I wanted something simple, personalized, and actually doable, not a 47-step routine I’d abandon in two days. That’s why I started using Mochi Health for skincare + wellness support, and it’s been one small thing that makes me feel more put together (even when I’m not).

If you’ve been wanting to get your skin and wellness together without overthinking it, I shared more in the reel. Link in bio for $40 off your first month.
