Good Morning from my lovely hotel room in Boulder, CO.
I love having a fresh room all to myself so I can dirty it up. I’m messy.
I arrived in Denver yesterday and the reps from Silk whisked the group off to the White Wave headquarters in Bloomfield.
We started with an info session about the company and core products. Did you know Silk started out as a tofu company?
We’ll save the rest of the trivia for later 
I scored the best loot bag ever too!
Amazing snacks (that I want to eat right now, but I don’t think they make for the most balanced breakfast?)
and a hardcore new foam roller! My IT band has been super tight and I almost dragged my roller on this trip!! Ha! This is one of those killer ones with ridges I haven’t tried yet. Wish me luck it’s going to be rough. 
We went on an afternoon hike at the Marshall Mesa Trail
It is gorgeous here!!!
My little friend Tina from Carrots N Cake is here too!
After the hike we enjoyed the new Silk Iced Latte drink.
I already tried the mocha because my mom buys Silk like it’s the only beverage on Earth. It’s dee-lish! Added bonus: It has the same amount of caffeine as a cup o’coffee if you’re into that sorta thing
Then it was time to head back to the hotel for a wardrobe change for dinner.
We went to Salt in Boulder.
The meal started with a Silk ‘adult beverage’ – Strawberry Crush. Silk has some good cocktail recipes on their website under the Silkology label. (I think the Strawberry recipe is coming soon – I’ll let you know.)
Tina and I actually tried a bunch of their Silk Cocktails at Blogher Food last year! <- that was a fun night
Dinner at Salt was delicious.
Appetizers.
Wine.
I ordered the field greens
and salmon.
For dessert I thought the Dark Chocolate Carmel Salted Tart was appropriate since I love chocolate and was at a restaurant called SALT.
I also stole a few bite’s of RJ’s blueberry shortcake.
I’ve been on vacation and in lalaland and am behind on the news. But, the Black Forest Fire is all over the news here. It’s not contained at all and dozens of families have lost their homes. Please keep those affected in your prayers.
Gotta run – I’ll be back in a bit!
amazing photography
The trails didn’t look too technical, at least from the pics?
No, it wasn’t technical at all. It was pretty easy and nice actually 🙂
I almost fainted when I saw the form roller. I have one (but not painful looking like yours) and don’t like to use it because it hurts. Well, it hurts because my IT band is tight too. Boo. 🙁
Monica! I’m from Boulder – I even recognized your pics from your trail run 🙂 Hope you had a great time! I’ve been a reader for a long time!! P.S. I just signed up for the US Half in San Fran in Nov and I think you need to come run it too! I’ll bring the watermelon?!
You had me at watermelon 🙂 Good luck! Not sure if I’ll be there, but I’ll keep ya posted.
MMM, I love Silk products. Very interesting fact that Silk started out as a tofu company, I am a tofu eater, I’ll have to check them out in my local g-store. I also enjoy the Justins products, yumm you made out girl! Looks like a you had a great trip.
looks like a great time!
What a super fun trip!! Your food looks amazing!
I need a mini-foam roller like that for my gym bag!
I just moved to Broomfield (not Bloomfield, lol!) and work in Boulder. It is beautiful here! Hubs and I will have to try Salt!
I miss Boulder! I loved your trail photos!
Trip look awesome! How much sugar is in the new Silk coffee beverages?
The Grid foam roller is THE best! Enjoy it and I hope your IT band gets better!
I live in Boulder and often forget how beautiful a place it is. So it’s always refreshing to see it through other people’s eyes.
I love Boulder, it is so beautiful there. I hope the fire is put out quickly. Your goody bag looks amazing. I love Silk but haven’t tried the Iced Coffee drinks yet, they sound great.
You have to let me know how that foam roller is. I have been eyeing it for a while. It looks intense, but sometimes that’s just what the IT band needs.
Looks like a blast! I’m ready to hear what you think about that foam roller.
Looks like you got some awesome swag. I LOOOOVE Justin’s PB cups. So much better than Reeses!
jealous of the Justin’s goodies you guys got! YUM
Looks like you are having an awesome time, what a goody bag!
I don’t know who Justin is but his chocolate hazelnut butter looks like my new best friend.
OMG i love Justin’s products, if i met him i would probably tell him i love him
Looks like a very good time! The view doing the hike was sooo gorgeous!!! I want to visit CO. Looks really pretty!! I need to look into being an ambassador for companies so I can go to fun conferences/trips like this lol
Colorado looks so beautiful! Not quite as beautiful as that dessert, but ya know… 😉
All you need is a spoon to dig into that snack 😉 such a cute foam roller! T families will definitely by in my prayers.
Mmm I’m hungry for that dinner and I haven’t even had breakfast yet!
