Fitness

When I was a kid, I had the best time at camp (I'm sure you did too!) – which is why I'm co-chairing this year's Campfire Ball at Venue One, benefiting Children's Oncology Services, Inc. and its One Step Camp for kids with cancer.

Where are all my eco-friendlies at?! Sammi, here to talk nothing other than the Green Festival coming to our beautiful windy city on May 18th & 19th at Navy Pier. Let’s kick off this spring weather with one the largest (24,000 participants in 2012) and most diverse festivals including education, shopping, food and loads of fun activities!

Hey, fitness fans! Are you guys all ready for swimsuit season? If not, then you need to join me (Kelli Zink from CelebTV.com) at SELF Magazine’s 20th annual Workout in the Park! I’m SO excited to be part of the 20th anniversary of the outdoor fitness festival – coming to Grant Park on Saturday, June 1st from 11 AM – 3 PM.

I don’t know about you guys, but I LOVE watching the Food Network…specifically competition shows like Chopped and Iron Chef!! To me there is nothing better than watching people create something delicious out of unknown ingredients… which is why I am super, pumped for this year’s Key Ingredient Cook-Off: A Festival of Culinary Curiosities.

Hi Chicago! I'm Ashley Hogue, owner at Andreas Hogue Salon, and we have a really fun evening planned in honor of Earth Month!

#Foodiechats is very excited to bring people together from all over the world for our 2-year celebration fundraiser. Our theme for the evening is "Food Trends." Our event will be taking place on Twitter of course and live in Chicago, at Rockit Bar and Grill. All ticket proceeds will benefit the amazing charity, No Kid Hungry.

Hey Chicago! I’m Kendall Rozell, the newest addition to Billy Dec’s intern team at Rockit Ranch Productions. I have never been too keen on going for a run – the part that really excites me is listening to my favorite type of music, electronic dance. So when the new trend of the Rave Run started spreading around Chicago, I knew I had to join in!

Even though it may not feel or look like spring right at the moment, the warm weather is indeed just around the corner. Can I get a hallelujah? I don’t think many of us will feel bad saying bye to this frigid, late winter we are having. That is for sure. And I don’t know about you guys, but seeing as winter IS coming to a close, what’s been on my mind is making sure I kick it into high gear with my workouts.
