That’s 225 bags of swag, swag, and more swag.
Almost as soon as my plane landed this morning, I’ve been on the go prepping with Healthy Living Stuff. I left my computer off on the flight and just tried to relax. I knew my mind would be going a mile a minute when I landed, so I wanted to enjoy as much peace and quiet as I could before the madness started.
I walked around trying to figure out just where the cocktail party will be in the market. There were no big rooms and the space seems pretty tight between the stalls. I really can’t wait to see how they lay it out tomorrow night, it’s definitely going to be a surprise to me.
I knew I was hungry when we arrived, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted. After doing a full lap of the market, I landed at the vegetarian stand.
It was a delicious mix of faux meat (I think it was seiten?), vegan cheese,peppers, tomato, and lettuce.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it really did taste like the real thing! Sooo good!
It was also really filling. I could only eat half and gave the rest to my sister.
After lunch I had a (not needed) coffee.
It just tasted too good not to have one of my own.
We’re heading out to dinner! Bring on the good food!
You are making me sooo excited for HLS. Can’t wait to see my swag and of course all of you bloggers!
I’m so excited for this weekend. Thank you for being an awesome planner.
I had a conference in Philly this spring. The hotel/conference center were right off of RTM and I lived off of those veggie Philly cheesesteaks the entire week. SO. GOOD.
That vegan cheese steak looks amazeee!
Oh my goodness THANK YOU to you ladies for working so dang hard!!!! I can see how your neck/back would be killing you! Geeze louise. Slash I can’t WAIT for the cocktail party, I wish we could have a preview of the food that’s going to be served!

hmm…I’ve never had faux meat before. Not sure what I think of that, although it does look delish!
Wowza! That’s a lot of swag you’ve got goin on right there!
YAY!! So excited! Can’t wait to meet everyone.
AGGGHHHH! I’m almost peeing my pants I’m so excited!
I’m so bummed that the HLS is in MY city this year and I couldn’t buy a ticket because I made plans with family and out-of-town friends for this exact weekend months ago! Have an AWESOME time here!
It sounds like it is getting off to a good start!
I am sure it will be a very exciting weekend. I can’t wait to see pictures of the cocktail party.
Wow, that’s a lot of swag! I will totally understand if you have extras and have to send me some.
Whoa!! I wish so badly I could find a vegetarian place that actually offered stuff like that rather than just veggies on bread. That looks so good!!
AH SO FUN! I can’t wait to read all about the conference (and that amazing swag) I hope that I will be able to go next year!
Your hard work is finally about to pay off, yippee!
Woah! Swag bags galore! How exciting!
I hope you guys enjoy Philly, i am born and raised. You guys, or at least Derek, need to go to Chickie and Petes. Sports bar in south Philly, an El ride away (hop on the Orange line). They are famous for crab fries, they just added sweet potato fries that are sooo good too.
You guys going to run up the Rocky steps?
I’m running the Philly Marathon in November and the Reading Terminal Market is definitely on my must-see list when I get there 🙂 Good luck with the rest of your night!!

oooooh I like the bags! Looks like it’s gonna be good!!
A HUGE round of applause for you and your hard working team!!
And also, for the ability of that cheese “steak” to look IDENTICAL to a real one. I’m literally having tummy grumbles and I JUST wolfed a bowl of cereal.
Philly can’t come soon enough.
