    Belated Scenes from the Weekend

    This post is a little late, but better late than never! Last weekend my friend Brendan and I drove down to South Jersey where my sister now lives to visit! We left friday night after work (and after work + class for me), so we didn’t get down there until 9:30pm. Thankfully there was no traffic on the way down! Saturday we had a fun day planned. We went to Laurita Winery in New Egypt, New Jersey for a tasting and to check it out. It was beautiful! Who thinks that new jersey has wineries? Well, it does, and has lots of farm land, too. I never knew! My favorite…

    Conference Day

    Saturday was the the conference portion of the Healthy Living Summit! But before we could learn all we could about blogging, my roommate Liz and I had planned on running the 5AM long run with a group of other bloggers (like 20 of us!) I was planning on 10 miles but didn’t make it. I turned around at mile 4.2 because my stomach started hurting and ran/walk the rest of the way back…after nearly getting lost! Fortunately I called Heather and met her and Alicia (they were running with a 6AM group) and they came to my rescue.   Thankfully we had about an hour to get ready before breakfast at…

    Cocktails at Reading Terminal Market

    One of the coolest things that happened this weekend was going to the Healthy Living Summit cocktail party at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. The place was closed, but they had food and drink tables set up for us to enjoy some drinks and mingle with the other bloggers. We got two free drink tickets, so I got a white wine to start off with. There was this cool photoboard with pictures of all the HLS attendees that someone had made, it was cute. Can you spot me? The spread of food was pretty decent. There was a delicious goat cheese & caramelized onion pizza that was to die for!…

    Food and Philly

    Greetings from Philadelphia! I’m here because I’m attending the Healthy Living Summit, a conference for food, fitness and healthy lifestyle bloggers. 🙂 I drove down with fellow CDNY Bloggers Heather, Alicia and Courtney yesterday and we got to Philly around 2:00 and checked into our hotel. Alicia and I were hungry so we walked around downtown Philly looking for something quick to eat. Eventually found ourselves at Reading Terminal Market. We found a cute Mediterranean place and decided to split a sandwich. It was tasty and full of flavor! Shortly after we went back to our hotel and met up with some other bloggers. We hung out for a while…

    Reading Terminal Market

    Our last day in Philadelphia consisted of walking to Reading Terminal Market for breakfast/lunch. This place is seriously overwhelming! There are so many vendors and so many places to choose from to get food!!! I knew I wanted crepes for breakfast, so we went to Profi’s Creperie. I ordered the honey strawberry & banana whole wheat crepe. We sat at the table and watched them make our crepes! Mine was amazing! But the honey made it almost sickenly sweet. But I have a huge sweet tooth, so there’s really no problem there. 🙂 Chris went to his favorite place in Philly, DiNics, for a roasted pork sandwich, which is served…
