    Healthy. Happy. Memorial Day! What You’re Doing.

    I asked the question: What wellness activity are you doing this Memorial day weekend. And I received some great answers from you, my wellness-loving blog readers and twitter followers. (I’m almost up to 15,000 twitter followers!) Your Memorial Day plans include: Lots of gardening, frosty drink sipping, biking, hiking, BBQ-ing and beach going! Here’s a few of my favorite responses…

    “Beach on Sunday, possibility of vegan soy cream cones in the forecast.”
    “BBQ, eat, sleep, BBQ, eat, sleep. Not very wellness oriented, but at least I’ll be serving veggie burgers!”
    “Planting a garden- the activity that gives back all summer long!”
    “Anything that involves buckets of sunshine.”
    “Late start on spring cleaning. Then rewarding my hard work with a tall glass of homemade agave-sweetened lemonade.”
    “Memorial day weekend plans = gardening and vegan picnic!”

    Click ahead for a lot more of your answers and my answer to “What wellness activity are you doing this Memorial Day weekend?”…..

    First, what do I plan on doing?
    My plans include, possibilities of either a vegan picnic in Central Park or a Brooklyn Bridge run. My plans definitely include a long walk through to sunny city streets with my husband- the final destination being one of my two favorite vegan ice cream shops in the city: STOGO or the newly tasted by moi, Lulu’s Sweet Apothecary. Both are stunningly delicious. STOGO has a coconut milk based vanilla bean with those aroma-infused specks of vanilla bean. And Lulu’s intense Ginger Molasses flavor tastes like a gingersnap in soy cream form! If you are in NYC on a hot day, I highly recommend one of these vegan ice cream shops.

    What Wellness Activities You’re Doing this Memorial Day Weekend…

    “Beach on Sunday, possibility of vegan soy cream cones in the forecast.”

    “Planting a garden- the activity that gives back all summer long!”

    “Memorial Day is beach bbq day of course.”

    “Cold drinks to be drunken and vegan veggie burgers to eat at our MD barbecue.”


    “Memorial day weekend plans = gardening and vegan picnic!”

    “Long Bike Ride through the sticks on Memorial Day.”

    “I signed up to do a 2 mile race in the next suburb over–i’ll be slow but at least i’ll be exercising!”

    “BBQ, eat, sleep, BBQ, eat, sleep. Not very wellness-y, but at least I’ll be serving veggie burgers!”
    “Family BBQ by the pool. Homemade watermelon Popsicles in the freezer.”

    “Nothing. Chilling is my favorite weekend activity”

    “Heading downtown for shopping with my girls. Then probably relaxing in the sun somewhere. “

    “I don’t know. But it will involve a lot of vitamin D in the form of sunshine.”

    “Watching and playing sports. Go Yankees. “

    “Gardening this Memorial Day weekend.”

    “It’s Memorial Day. Gosh, I totally forgot. Any good ideas?”

    “Memorial Day is overrated. Everything fun gets crowded and everything crowded is stressful. I’ll be kicking it inside with some frosty beverages until the mass hysteria chills out. Maybe the PM will be safe to go outdoors. I live in NYC….Touristas!”

    “I’m so excited about a wine tour on Sunday. At an organic vineyard. “

    “Anything that involves buckets of sunshine.”

    “Attempting to bake a rhubarb pie. Wish me luck.”

    “Nothing! Cheers to resting.”

    “Pool and kids. And a tall glass of iced tea.”
