Fab Five from EVO

Today’s Fab Five is all about the fun new discoveries I made while attending the EVO Conference (Evolution of Women in Social Media Conference)—a whirlwind of inspiration, connection, and creativity. I’ll be sharing a full recap of the event soon, but in the meantime, I couldn’t wait to highlight a few standout finds that caught my attention and earned a spot on my favorites list.

🥭 #1: McDonald’s Mango Pineapple Smoothie

Let’s start with a refreshing surprise—McDonald’s new Mango Pineapple Smoothie. I’ve tried their other smoothie flavors in the past (strawberry banana and wild berry), and honestly, they didn’t wow me. But this new tropical blend? Total game-changer. It’s bright, fruity, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, not too tart. I grabbed one on a whim during a conference break and was genuinely impressed. If you’re looking for a quick, cool treat on the go, this one’s worth a sip!

🌱 #2: TogetherCounts.com – Inspiring Healthy Living for Families

One of the most meaningful discoveries I made at the EVO Conference was learning about TogetherCounts.com, a nationwide initiative that promotes active, healthy living through a simple but powerful concept: Energy Balance. The idea is beautifully straightforward—balance the calories we take in with the calories we burn. It’s all about making mindful choices and creating healthy habits that stick. What really resonated with me, though, is their emphasis on family connection—encouraging families to eat together, move together, and support one another in building a balanced lifestyle. As someone who values togetherness and intentional living, I absolutely love what this program stands for.

🍞 #3: Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Sandwich Bread – Kid-Friendly & Fun

Another fun find was Pepperidge Farm’s Goldfish Sandwich Bread, which instantly caught my eye with its playful design and soft texture. I had the chance to try both the white and honey wheat varieties, and they reminded me a lot of the sandwich thins I’ve shared about before—light, tasty, and perfect for layering with your favorite fillings. What makes these extra special is how kid-friendly they are. The iconic Goldfish shape adds a touch of whimsy to lunchtime, making sandwiches feel like a treat instead of a chore. I only wish they were available here in Utah—fingers crossed they make their way to local shelves soon!

 

🕯️ #5: Candle Warmers – Local Charm with Cozy Appeal

Rounding out my Fab Five is a product I’ve admired for quite some time: Candle Warmers. I’ve seen similar items before and always thought they’d be a lovely addition to my home, but I hadn’t taken the plunge—until now. What surprised me most was discovering that Candle Warmers is actually based right here in Utah! There’s something extra special about supporting a local company, especially when their products are this beautiful. Their warmers come in a variety of styles, from rustic and farmhouse-inspired to sleek and modern, making it easy to find one that complements your space. Not only do they add a decorative touch, but they also let you enjoy your favorite candle scents without an open flame—a win for both ambiance and safety. I’m officially smitten!
