I could sit here and write a recap of this past weekends BLEND RETREAT, but it might turn into a novel. And Monday’s are meant for novels.
So instead I break it into pieces. Make just 2 pieces. Maybe three. Who knows. But today I want to say THANK YOU!
Thank YOU Katie, Lindsay, Janeetha, and all of their family and friends who chipped into help prepare this amazing event!

Thank YOU for coming to my room late Saturday night, just to say hello and give me a hug! I’m so happy we were finally able to meet, and sure hope we have more time for a soul chat in the VERY near future–preferably over kombucha and Healthy Bites.

What a fabulous weekend!! And THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful Healthy Bites with us . . . they were just as delicious as I’ve always imagined! 🙂
What a fun weekend! You gals – I missed being there!
A thank you.. now this is definitely my favorite Blend recap so far. It sounds like Blend was such an amazing time, and I’m definitely sorry that I couldn’t go. Thanks for sharing, Lindsay.
Love you. Loved meeting you in person. It was truly a wonderful weekend.
Thank YOU for hanging out with me in the airport…for being you…and for inventing Healthy Bites. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have made the drive home last night without one. 🙂
LOVE. Can’t wait to see your recaps. I’m still not sure how I’m going to do it, either…
It was so wonderful to get to FINALLY meet you! I wish we could have spent a bit more time hanging but there were so many wonderful ladies and just not enough time! Thank YOU for sharing Healthy Bites, I think there’s going to be an order in my future. 😉
aww, what a great weekend 🙂 hope it’s in the cards next year!
Aww I love every bit of this post! Glad you gals had such a fun time. I’m sad I couldn’t make it, but I love reading all the updates and seeing all the photos!
Wow, it looks like you had an amazing weekend. I kept seeing ALL these pictures and instagram and may have gone a little crazy liking every single one, but y’all just looked like you were having so much fun!
thank YOU right back. i love you so much.
the blend retreat looks amazeballs LC!
Okay that’s it, I’m going next year. It looks like too much fun! and gorgeous photos, I’ve never been to Utah – it looks beautiful from the few pics you put up. Jealous of the trip!
I feel so blessed to be a part of such an incredible weekend! I’m still trying to wrap my head around it all too… it may take a while! I love the soreness from GPP Bootcamp, a lovely reminder of the ‘fun, fitness and fellowship’ we have together. So happy to have met you and so many other amazing women! xoxo
love it! Glad you had a great time there! I am so jealous!
It was just unbelievable- a thank you post is the perfect way to reflect on all the goodness of the weekend. LOVED meeting you, friend! Can’t wait to do it all again. xoxo
I am completely envious and oh so happy for all y’all who attended – I really, really wanna join in on the fun next year! Hold me to it 😉
Holy awesome weekend overload!
Lindsay!!! Meeting you in person was the icing on my healthy ballzzzz. 😉 What an amazing weekend. All the “Blends” are even more amazing in person than in blog-land… and that’s no small accomplishment!
There’s definitely a lot to be thankful for! I can’t believe how well-organized and breathtaking the entire weekend was. It was great meeting you (albeit briefly) and thank YOU for sharing your healthy bites with us!
Next year baby! We will meet 🙂
As I told Christine, I almost can’t look at the pics for being green with envy! It looked like a spectacular weekend…I need to make it happen next year!
Awesome post! How sweet of you to thank all the good peeps and companies! MAJOR kudos to all of them! Love you! Next year I will be there 😉

So awesome! Wish I could have made it this year!
So thoughtful of you to dedicate a post to thanking all who were involved. So sweet of you <3
wish you could have flown back to the states to attend. That would have been my HIGHLIGHT. xxoo
aww! maybe next year 🙂
Couldn’t agree with this post more! THANK YOU! (And uhhh Lindsay, let’s make a play date! Wait, do 20 somethings not make play dates anymore? Whatever let’s meet up!)
yes they do! Although i am 30 in a month! EEK! haha. Come to austin. I need some linz time!
