This past weekend was Blend 2012 – one of the best girl’s weekend I’ve ever had!
Sponsored by some amazing brands, including these vegan-friendly companies: Beanitos, Xagave, Fitmixer, Cheribundi, & Love Grown Foods.
With these gorgeous mountains as the backdrop to a weekend filled with bootcamp, hiking, friends (old & new), food, and fun!
I’ll share some more about the weekend over the next few days, but today I’ll leave you with some photos of just a few of the lovely ladies I spend the weekend with.

i was making healthy bites this weekend, wishin i was there. But SO HAPPY that i got to see such amazing faces through instagram. hehe.
There was a LOT of action on Instagram – craziness and fun. Next year, we’ve got to get you there – you would have loved it (and I would have loved hanging out with YOU!). :)
I KNOW!! I missed you and i haven’t even met you! haha
uh oh, did my last comment go through?
It did! :)
looks like so much fun!! one of these years i’m going to make it there! i ran the Ruckus Heater (mud run).
Start saving now – you would have a blast! It’s really not too expensive and so much fun in just a few short days. :)
Blend looks like it was a blast, I am jealous of all those amazing sponsors!
Oh it was!! I knew it was going to be great, but even better than expected. :)
Miss you already!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Miss you too girl – you put on a killer retreat! :) We really do need to plan a hike, especially since I realize how close you guys really are. Hope you have an amazing last week in Colorad0 (I’m incredibly jealous you’re still there right now!).
BEACH!!! Haha. I have to say that, and I live in Denver. Lol. I have to read everyone’s recaps since I missed out. Love it!
You already have the mountains – so jealous! :) Hopefully you can join us next year, it’s worth the price of admission (and way more!).
Looks like you had an amazing time! I am hopping I can go next year!
Oh that would be awesome! The group did a great job making sure there were vegan & gluten free options at every meal, so you don’t even need to worry about the catered events. So much fun!
It was so much fun!! And thanks for letting me steal your pic earlier. ;)
Anytime – I’m glad it was there for you to steal. :)
looks like a blast – wished all weekend I was there!
we packed the house this weekend, celebrated (one of!) our anniversary, went to a great concert…. enjoyed the sun.
can’t wait to hear more about your weekend!
Sounds like you had a great weekend too!! =)
We were probably a little obnoxious on twitter all weekend, it’s funny when bloggers get together. ;)
Best weekend EVER!!! I was so sad to leave. :( Next year!
Me too – I wish we could have Blend all the time! Everyone needs to live near me. :)
Great pics – I’m sure all of the ladies there had a great time. (I’m kinda’ jealous. ;) )
I know I’m saying this a lot – but you should come next year!! It really was the most fabulous weekend, and I don’t really like hanging out with a bunch of girls usually. Did I mention we went to 2 breweries on Saturday? :)
I bet it was such a cool event. Wish I could have gone. I must say, I’m definitely all about the beach though ;-)
I would have never guessed your answer to that question?! ;) Hope you can come next time!
you make me smile so big! thank you for coming and playing and making the weekend fantastic!!!!!! xoxo
Aw – you’re so sweet!! :) It was such an awesome weekend — thank you for all you did to make it happen!!
Great recap! So glad you got to come this weekend, it was a blast and I’m glad I got to meet you!
