I’ve been home from the Healthy Living Summit in Boston/Cambridge since last Monday. It’s probably time (or past time) for me to share my final thoughts on the weekend. And then I’ll stop talking about HLS. Maybe. As I already mentioned, I enjoyed this year’s Summit more than the 2 I attended previously, which I [...]
In April, shortly after the location for the 2012 Healthy Living Summit was announced, I received the following email: Dear Mrs. Massachusetts, Are you planning to attend HLS in Boston this year? Sincerely, Mrs. Illinois Mrs. Illinois, also known as Krista of Can’t Survive on Yarn Alone, was my very first HLS friend, way back [...]
After4 fun filled days at the Healthy Living Summit in Boston (technically Cambridge), it was a bit sad to come home again. This was my third time at HLS and, though I’m still digesting everything I learned, I think it was the best yet. Still, it’s good to be back in my own bed and [...]
One of my favorite things about HLS is the people. The sessions are always good, but I think most of the attendees would be happy to just socialize for 48 hours. Granted, I almost lost my voice as a result, but that’s not the point. This year, I really lucked out in the roommate department. [...]
When it was posted to the Healthy Living Summit website that Dawn Jackson Blatner was going to be the keynote speaker, I got really excited. Dawn’s book, The Flexitarian Diet: The Mostly Vegetarian Way to Lose Weight, Be Healthier, Prevent Disease, and Add Years to Your Life was one of the first books I read [...]
What can I say about this weekend’s Healthy Living Summit in Philadelphia when so much has already been said? I had fabulous roommates, Lauren, Krista, Kristin, myself reconnected with some of my favorite people from last year, Shannon, Freya, myself listened to Dawn Jackson Blatner speak twice (she was awesome!), went on a [...]
In just 28 days, I’ll be headed to Philadelphia to attended the Healthy Living Summit. I went last year, had an awesome time and am really looking forward to going again. A lot has changed since last August: I’m feeling more confident about Relishments and myself as a blogger. So, if you’re going to HLS [...]
Yesterday marks 2 years since I started blogging at Relishments. A food blogger judge on Iron Chef America and an offhand statement from my sister seem to have forever altered my life. I know I probably won’t write this site forever, but it has given me so much that will never be taken away. When [...]
After running around Chicago with Kirstin on Thursday and then touring the Frito-Lay plant and going to the cocktail party on Friday, it was almost hard to believe that the main Healthy Living Summit event was still to come on Saturday. Because there are a million other HLS recaps out there, because I don’t think [...]
Though I’d been in Chicago since Wednesday, Friday was the first official Healthy Living Summit event I attended: a tour of the Frito-Lay Plant in Beloit, Wisconsin. We boarded a charter bus at 9:20 in the morning and headed out. The bus ride was supposed to be a couple hours, but Caitlin had come prepared [...]
