I know, I know… I have been MIA for the last 5 months. Honestly, I don’t really think there is a valid excuse for it, but I got in a rut and I didn’t know how to present and promote my content in the way I wanted to. BUT that has all changed now! After attending the 2017 Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo (FNCE), my inspiration and motivation to inspire others is through the roof! Now you may have a few questions about what FNCE is all about and how that inspired me to start my blog back up, and I am going to answer all of that for you in this post!

What is FNCE?

FNCE is a national Food and Nutrition Conference and Expo for all those nutrition nerds out there like myself! It is held in a different city each year, and this year it was held in Chicago, Illinois. FNCE was extra special this year because it was the centennial year of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The conference was packed with all sorts of events, establihshed speakers, poster sessions, and the HUGE expo center.

The Expo Center

The expo center was always a busy and bustling area throughout the entire conference. There was a large variety of vendors ranging from health food products, different schools, supplements, functional foods, and more! One of my favorite parts of the expo was the Ocean Spray section. Ocean Spray had a cranberry bog set up in the expo center that you could wade through, and I honestly felt so nerdy getting excited about it (but who cares)!

How I Got Inspired 

One of the sessions I attended at FNCE was about “How to Make a Killer Video”, one of the speakers being Holley Grainger, nutrition expert and health blogger. Throughout the session, I realized how much I can help others through content outreach such as creating  blog posts, videos, and social media blasts!

Get Ready!

Now that I have my motivation back and inspired to try new things, get ready for some new and exciting content!
