VitalJuice Pop-Up Wellness Retreat in New York City 2009


This past weekend was VitalJuice's first Pop-Up Wellness Retreat- a three-day bonanza of spa treatments, fitness classes and healthy food samplings. They rented the space of what used to be the Virgin Megastore, before they closed, in the heart of Union Square. Although the event was open to the public, it seemed pretty hush-hush as they didn't just want anybody coming in. The security guard asked us what we were here for and we just told him, "VitalJuice."




One sponsor that was giving away samples of their product was SoyJoy. I had never tried their bars before and I was pleasantly surprised. (I tried the Apple flavor and could taste real natural bits of apple pieces inside the bar.) They cost about a dollar a bar, so it is a bit pricey. The packaging makes the product look a bit more like a granola bar but it is actually thinner, like a biscotti. Nevertheless it is a tasty treat full of fiber, protein and omega-3. It is a great pre-workout snack!

Another yummy treat I had was from the World of Grains. They offered Cranberry cookies and Garden Vegetable crackers to taste and bring home. After trying their sweet cookies- I am sold! Luckily they are available in Whole Foods across the country. They are selling 4 little packs with about 6-7 cookies in each pack in a box for about $4-5. Again, also a bit pricey but it tastes delicious and it is good for you too! I can't wait to try their other flavors of cookies- including Apple Cinnamon, Blueberry, Multigrain, and Oatmeal Raisin. Their other flavors of crackers include Garlic Herb, Tomato Basil, Rosemary and Multigrain.




Whole Foods was also another sponsor and they provided delicious home-made breakfast bars. They also came out with a cart full of apples. :) The workouts were provided by Crunch and seemed like a lot of fun. I didn't attend any but I did get to play some table tennis. (There was a table right when you walked inside the building.)


This Wellness Retreat by VitalJuice was a lot of fun to sample and try out different healthy products. I am so glad they were able to do coordinate this event for us and I look forward to attending next year's event!

Solstice Yoga in Times Square June 21, 2009


One of first event posts was the Solstice Yoga in Time Square. (Read the original article here.) Unfortunately I was not able to go last year because of my friend's wedding, but I will be attending this year!! :)

I noticed a few changes based on last year's info/my blog post. First: SOYJOY, among many other brand names like Danskin and Snapple, is not their sponsor anymore. Hence they cannot brag about it when they mention the goodie bag. Second: This year they will be giving out 1500 gift bags and yoga mats, as opposed to only 300 last year. Third: Classes this year do not have instructor names already specified and do not require a certain level of experience.


In preparation for this exciting and healthy event, I have been practicing stretching exercises as well as the Wii Fit Yoga routine. Some of my favorite poses include the Tree pose, Bridge pose and Warrior pose. It's all about strengthening your core and keeping your balance. The Boat pose is one of my least favorites and requires a lot of your core strength. It is the pose where your body creates a V shape..

Practice ahead.. If you will be attending and need a few yoga exercise moves, check out slideshows from Women's Health magazine's website. Click for the slideshow on 10 great poses here and an At-Home yoga routine with 18 steps here .

Health Magazines.. Women's Health is one of the several women's health magazines that I read. Of course, I read SELF (read about my recent trip to the SELF Workout in the Park this year here) , SHAPE, and Fitness magazine. My favorite part is that these magazines have tear-off cards/or step-by-step routines that I can easily rip out of the magazine (either cards or the entire page) and take me with me (to my living room.)

For more details on attending the event...

Go to the website: http://www.timessquarenyc.org/about_us/events_solstice.html

Basically, the event will be held in the heart of Times Square all day on Sunday, June 21, 2009. The 6pm class is available for registration, while all other times are full.

Shecky's Girls Night Out- Summer 2009



Ladies- it's baaackkk! Shecky's Girls Night Out in back in town in NYC from June 23-27. If you haven't been to one of these before, it's a must! Where else can you get have a great time with your girls, shopping the latest jewelry trends, tasting some yummy local snacks and having a few drinks all in the same place?

Where is taking place? At the Puck Building, downtown Soho area, located at 293 Lafayette St. (@ Houston St.) The Shecky's Girls Night Out was at this venue last Fall and it was a great location. The one earlier this year was a bit on the west side and a pain to get to so I appreciate it being back here.

I have been to three of these events already and I may sit this one out. Chances are if I go, I won't be getting a Shecky's Goody Bag this year. (See my Winter 2009 goody bag here and Fall 2008 goody bag here. Note: My Holiday 2008 goody bag was similar to the Fall 2008 one.) Plus, I wouldn't want a repeat of last time's fiasco, see here.

They do have some great sponsors, including my favorite Yes To Carrots, and some familiar ones from last year (Aveeno and Aquafresh).



I noticed the National Sponsors, the drink sponsors, at this event do not include Budweiser. There is usually a beer sponsor there to have a beer tasting at the event. They give you a sampling of 4 beers that are not yet in the market, and they gauge the audience to see how well they like it. That's disappointing to see, since that is usually one of my favorite parts of the event. (See pictures of my previous attendance here)
