Jet Blue

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to jetBlue! Last weekend I flew the discounted airline for the first time (NYC-Chicago). I am obsessed with the live TV from DirectTV, the friendly service and the multitude of snacks they offer, complimentary to each traveler. And in the spirit of the 4th of July they offered organic Apple Pie cookies!!! So good!
The flight from Chicago to NYC was delayed about 4 hours so while we waited jetBlue representatives offered blankets to all of us waiting as well as animal crackers and Terra chips. It made the wait that much better! I highly suggest taking jetBlue any time you can!

Today I attended an event hosted by SELF magazine called Workout in the Park-- it was fabulous!With more than 20 different sponsors and about 20 different fitness classes from yoga and pilates to exciting dance classes such as Awesome 80's Dance and Crumpin' & Tweakin'. However, my favorite aerobic class was taught by my favorite instructor, Serina Jain, was Masala Bhangra, a Bollywood-inspired traditional Indian dance.
No joke, I walked away from the event with a huge bag full of free products from the various sponsors including- 2 full sized mascaras from Maybelline, granola bars from Kashi, water and flavor packets from Crystal Light, the new water/juice from Tropicana, lotions from St. Ives, and a ton of 100 Calorie Packs-- just to name a few, serious!
Last weekend the event took place in Chicago; next weekend it'll be in Miami. It was so great to see so many people getting together with fitness and wellness on the mind.
I loved it and can't wait for next year's event!
