The Bachelorette
As soon as lunch was finished, it was time for the official kick off of the conference. First up, what everybody’s really after, the swag.
The bags were chock full of goodies and food samples: cereal, granola, chips, bars, protein powders and more. FYI, applesauce is not an approved carry on item. In case you were wondering…
I blame applesauce for my mad, chaotic airport dash on the way home. I certainly had nothing to do with it at all… 
After officially signing in to the event and comparing swag samples I got to catch up with two of my favorite bloggers: Allie & Sarah.
Sarah and I entertained Allie with all of our pregnancy talk. {Yay, Sarah’s pregnant too!} I’m sure she was thrilled.
Before we knew it, it was time to for the HLS kickoff: the cocktail party!
We headed over to the Reading Terminal Market, for an evening of socializing and chia seed cocktails. Minus the cocktail part for me, of course.
My old HLS buddy Theodora.
And Jen and Perri. Jen and I did our dietetic internships together!
Some more of my favorites, Tina & Anne:
{Remember Tina from Fitbloggin and Anne from the awesome-tastic mud run?}
The evening flew by, but there was still one more thing to take care of: fro yo!
After the cocktail party we headed down the street to Sweet Endings, for none other than a sweet ending to the evening.
As I was getting my cup-o-fro-yo {kahlua latte & cream cheese fro yo with graham cracker crumbs, rainbow sprinkles, and granola}, mad chaos erupted behind me.
There were shouts. Screams. Squeals. Screeches.
I couldn’t figure out for the life of me what was going on. I though cockroaches were spewing out of the frozen yogurt machines or something equally as dramatic. I was clueless.
Apparently there’s some famous recently engaged bachelorette?
It was momentary insanity to say the least.
{I’ve quite obviously never seen the show.}
And that, a celebrity sighting, was the way the evening ended.
