POMtastic Part 1

Friendly reminder: This trip to Fresno was paid for by the lovely people at POM Wonderful

Hey everyone! I’m here in Fresno for the POM Blogger Harvest Tour I’ve already met some lovely ladies including TINA, Emily, Shirley and saw Caitlin and my very good friend Heaby again. From what I can tell so far, this is going to be a crazy amazing experience.

To rewind a little, I woke up early this morning –not as early as planned because I set the alarm for PM instead of AM- did 20 minutes on the hotel elliptical and hit up the hotel breakfast.

In all honestly, I really wanted eggs for bfast but there were none so I rolled with fruit. The watery oatmeal wasn’t really calling my name.

I got all my stuff ready and took a cheesy Myspace-inspired pic:

Rockin’ the moccasins

My first flight from Orlando to Dallas was bueno –despite the fact that I was sandwiched between two guys and woke up sleeping with my mouth open. Sexay- and I had some eggplant bacon

The man sitting next to me was intrigued by the bacon and I gave him a piece- he LOVED it! We then got into a deep discussion regarding the SAD (Standard American) diet and the importance of eating well. A man after my own heart.. except ~40 years older

When I got into Dallas, I hopped on the free WiFi (thank you , Dallas!) and ate some zucchini chips.

I also had an unpictured Coconut Cream Pie Larabar on the plane. And an orange

It was so lovely to see that HEABY was on my flight (!) and I met up with two other lovely bloggers, Shirley and Emily who were also on our flight.

We shared a taxi to the hotel:

And saw Caitlin and Tina upon arriving

As well as SWAG!!!!

POM gave us a beautiful array of welcome gifts including a potholder and recipes, how to cut a pomegranate cutting board, folder with an itinerary, Fiji water (which I dove right into)

A SUPERCUTE American Apparel POM Blogger Harvest shirt, Ice POM coffee, coupons, a notebook, a magnet, and POM cider mix

Thank you!!!!

I just ate yet another Larabar.

I’ve had two today and am ready for my madre to leave a comment saying “that’s not a meal, Gina” Guess my snack-packing wasn’t as great as I thought and needless to say, I will be stuffing my face in the most dainty-like manner possible tonight.

I’m off to hit up the gym and get in the rest of my cardio and some weights, then getting ready for dinner

Lots of pics to come!
