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!”

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.
