Blend Retreat Recap Part 1 and Part 2.
I’ll keep this short and sweet. And let the pictures do most of the talking.
First Row:
- I have a feeling this group picture is going to double in size next year, because I really want all of you to go to Blend Retreat 2013 {photo by Ashley McLaughlin Photography}
- I just noticed the personalized touch in Katie’s shoes {Healthy Diva Eats}. That is so cool. I thought the gals took a pic of her shoes just because they looked cool. {photo by Janetha}
- Chobani Fit Bootcamp – the morning after Cinco de Mayo tequila-shooter-night {I’m at the end in the dark blue shirt, hiding at the end}.
- I told you it was the morning after Cinco de Mayo tequila-shooter-night. Looking a little rough. LOL. How come Lindsay looks great in this picture? I think underneath her beautiful exterior, she was feeling a little rough, too. heehee.
- After bootcamp was a Farewell breakfast hosted by Chobani. So glad to finally meet the gang. BTW, Chobani is sponsoring some U.S. Olympic athletes this year and dubbed them “Team Chobani”. Naturally fueled athletes. So cool!
- Breakfast with Jessica
- And with Calee
- Everyone won in the Swag giveaway during breakfast. I won this very awesome bag from Chobani! It saved my day bringing home swag. And now I use it frequently for the gym.
- Packed and saying goodbye to all my awesome Blend friends.
- Stopped by the Mission’s lodge and grabbed a quick pick with Ashley. If y’all didn’t know, Ashley was the first blogger I started reading when I landed in the world of healthy & fitness. So, I felt honored to finally meet her.
- Heather from Better with Veggies and I are sad that we are leaving Blend and our friends. {picture by Heather from Kiss My Broccoli Blog}.
- Off to the airport. Airport food. This sandwich wasn’t half bad.
- Although, it might have been the company that made the meal good. I am so glad that I got to hang out with Heather! She is a totally awesome gal.
- When we parted at the airport, I still had time to lounge. So I bought the child a Colorado horse. Took a picture and sent it to her text, telling her he was excited to come home to his mama.
- I love this pic. Dena’s smile sums up how awesome Blend Retreat really was.

and you better. Start stashing away $50/month to put towards your trip and then you know you’ll go. Thank you for the Mother’s Day wishes!

Ya! I am so glad that we met. Was ultra cool. I can’t wait again to do it next year where ever it may be.
ps – tequila always makes for a good time – as long as you don’t drink too much. LOL.
