Healthy Living Summit: Saturday Sessions

August 21, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hi everyone! I am so wiped but totally in a good way! Today was so action packed and fun but I feel like I could sleep for 2 days straight!  Tomorrow is going to be another long day. So much happened today I am going to have to break it up into two posts. Whew!

Yesterday morning, we headed to breakfast at 8 and started our morning sessions. Attune sponsored breakfast, and there was a pretty nice spread.

Look at our super cute table set up! (by the way, why didn’t I think to bring a notebook? I have random notes on about 5 different sheets of paper!)

 

Loved how there was water everywhere, I also brought a refillable water bottle.

my yummy breakfast. (yes we had Starbucks coffee!)

Just like last night, I enjoyed meeting new bloggers and hanging out with ones I already “knew.” The room most of the sessions were in was nice and big, my only complaint, it was FREEZING cold! enter…more coffee! (I think I was a bit wired all day….and peed about 20 times.)

I went to a session on negativity with this lovely panel:

and finally got to meet this sweet girl. We were tweeting back and forth all day trying to find each other! Hi Jennifer! (She’s a Fit Chick)

We had lunch, and I will be TOTALLY honest, I was really bummed that there was no meat at lunch. No grilled chicken, no turkey sandwich…yeah I sadly basically starved. I figured there would be mostly salad and things, but was really shocked there wasn’t a single shred of meat to be found.  Good thing I had my bag of twizzlers from the plane and some larabars from my swag bag! Oh, and some Great Harvest Bread. That was yum.

We listened to the keynote speaker, and then went to 2 more sessions. I watched another super fun panel talk about the numbers game we sometimes play as bloggers.

SO glad I got to chat a good bit with the lovely Tina this weekend. Just as sweet as I knew she would be!

Then we had a Quaker sponsored snack break. I can honestly say I have never put peanut butter on a rice cake. Quite the interesting combo. I was so hungry by then I really didn’t care though.

Then we got to hear the very smart Katy talk abut monetizing your blog. So overwhelming and so informative. It was one of my favorites and I took a lot of notes. ha.

After that, Meghann handed out some door prizes, and wrapped things up, and that was that! I can’t believe the day went by so fast and was over! We still have tomorrow morning’s fun run and brunch, but I am already so sad to leave all my new friends! I wish we did these more often….and closer down south so I don’t have to make expensive flying trips.

I will save the rest of the evening/night for my next post. Have a great day all!

QOTD: What is the weirdest food combo you have ever eaten?

    It was so great to meet you this weekend and hang out last night. Glad someone else understands the need for dessert after meals — so crucial! Safe travels home. 🙂

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

If you want to try it, there’s $40 off your first month through the link in my bio. @joinmochi #joinmochi mochihealth

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro took part in Cork to Fork on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, and every bite felt like a love letter to local flavor. From bourbon-glazed pork belly to a warm cinnamon-bourbon bread pudding that honestly didn’t stand a chance at our table… this was one of those meals you remember.

Mountain views, chef-driven dishes, and whiskey worked right into the menu in the best way. 😋 

If this is what “one stop” on Cork to Fork looks like… I’m curious what the rest tastes like! Head to the website ( 🔗 in bio) to learn more about the trail and download your free digital passport! @tnwhiskeytrail

Lately I’ve been using personalized skincare through Mochi Health and it’s been so much easier having products targeted to what my skin actually needs instead of just guessing every time I break out.

And somehow, Disneyland still makes it feel like the first time.

Same magic.
Different memories. ✨ 

We had the most amazing time at Disneyland last month. The magic is alive and well, and it gets me every time. This is a great time to take your family and make memories of your own. There are so many great things going on this summer! 

Not to mention, if you use @bestdayevervacay, they do all the stressful work for you, at no extra cost! From discounts to dining reservations, they can handle it. You just focus on making the memories. 🥰

I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly “off” feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

It’s one capsule a day and the #1 doctor-recommended probiotic brand for over 15 years‡. I started taking Align to help relieve my occasional gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort* and now I feel more comfortable moving through my day. @alignprobiotic
