Ahh I can’t believe the Healthy Living Summit is finally here! I’ve been looking forward to this for months now.
I had some last minute packing to do (actually I just started this morning!) So I’ve got things thrown all over my bed trying to get organized.
Here’s a look at some of my must-haves for a healthy weekend getaway that I’ll be taking with me to Boston:

-Teddie’s Unsalted Peanut Butter
-2 Larabars: Peanut Butter Cookie and Chocolate Coconut Chew

2. Reading material
-Just finishing up Julie & Julia (i love it, I don’t want to finish it!)
-Eye mask (a girl needs her beauty sleep!) 
3. Itinerary, Directions, and Planner

Just need to finish packing up clothes, shoes, toiletries, chargers, bake sale goodies…hope I’m not missing anything else! Then heading for a quick walk at the beach with my mom, shower, and then hitting the road. Hope I don’t hit rush hour!

Next stop…Boston bound! Cocktail party tonight at 7pm!
Question for you:
What are your “must have” healthy essentials for traveling??
Have fun! So jealous – wish I was going to the HLS. When I travel I always bring my workout gear and a resistance band to do some toning. Also apples, homemade trail mix, bars, nuts. Safe travels – look forward to hearing about it!
Amanda–oooh love the resistance band idea!! going to have to try that!
Have fun, Kristen! Sounds like you’ll have an awesome weekend!
My must-have essential is not necessarily categorized as “healthy”, but I always make sure to have EXTRA CASH on hand!! You never know…my junior year of college I had to fork over an extra $20 for a registration fee for a trip…and then I got stuck in the airport overnight with no money for food (didn’t have an ATM card at the time), and I got very sick for the next two weeks! Very silly, but you live and learn! So extra $$$ is always on my list now in case I have to take a taxi, etc.
Pam-oh no! thats an awful story! but lesson learned, I will def be carrying extra cash around from now on
Love love love the Super Fan shirt! Go Eagles!
Melissa-talons of fury! (I went to BC for my first semester after Hurricane Katrina closed down my school) BC was so amazing to us so I have to show my BC pride
Enjoy your trip!!! Wish I could go! So what is teddie’s peanut butter…where do you get it?
My essentials for healthy traveling are very similiar to yours; workout gear, larabars (and various other food), bottled water, music, something to read….I love to travel…
Have fun!
Hi Lainie! I just found Teddie’s recently actually and loved it! I’ve seen it in my local Stop and Shop or ShopRite usually. THe only ingredient is Roasted Peanuts which I love, it has a great texture. If you try it, let me know what you think!
Oh, you’re going to have such a good time this weekend!! Can’t wait to read all about it
What kind of heart rate monitor do you use? I am looking into getting one, but don’t know which one to buy!
Have fun packing and a safe trip to Boston!!!
Megan-I’m using the Polar F7 which is great..and I had to get it in pink!
But Garmin has one thats supposed to be really good, and a little more in depth, so you might want to look into that too. Good luck!
Sounds awesome! I hope to hear all about it when you get back! Have fun!
It was so nice to meet you last night. So glad we got to chat and hang out. You’re such a cool lady! BTW, I loved your dress. See you soon…
Nicole-So great meeting you too!! Sitting next to you today actually
I watched HLS today and it looked like a really good time. Congrats on winning a prize.
My must-haves when I travel are Larabars & chocolate chips and my water bottle. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
Kaytee–the HLS was awesome. I was wondering how the livestream was coming out, so i’m glad it was working. I guess starting Simply Savor the week before the summit was worth it for the free bag filled with popchips that i won haha
Hi! It was so great meeting you this weekend
I’m loving your blog and am super impressed by how fabulous and professional it looks already!! Looking forward to reading more 
I like bringing Lara Bars with me on vacations
Glad you enjoyed the Summit!
I have the same HRM in red:)
Sunglasses are the thing I need otherwise I get headaches from too much sun. The Healthy Living Summit looks like a really great thing to do.
