When they flew in 800 avocadoes from Mexico for the television commercial, to make sure they had one absolutely perfect fruit, Jenna Dashney knew that the money she was making wasn’t going to make this sit right. “You couldn’t even give them away to the crew afterwards, because they were constantly being fed by a … Continue reading Slow down for your supper – with Jenna Dashney, the Farmers’ Market’s new chef-in-residence
The takeover was a very rad experience. I’m always on social media but it was cool to set a goal and tell a story to a new audience. By taking the followers along with me on a journey, it helped me learn a few things about myself. During this reflection I realized just how lucky … Continue reading Blair Kaplan took over the instagram account and took us camping. Nice timing.
Jenna Dashney, Food-Lover, pastry chef, chicken mama, took over the Wellness Almanac instagram account this week, as the "mini-poopers", her all-chickens, all-the-time instagram persona. Below, is Beardy. A pirate-chicken who liked getting around on people's shoulders, all the better to eavesdrop on you with, me-hearties. Lovely little egg-cubators... I had to give them their moment … Continue reading The chickens have taken over
I wish it didn't end. That's the feedback we're happy to receive from the Wellness Almanac's intagram takeover project - from followers and from photographers.

In January, we decided to offer people the chance to take over the Wellness Almanac's instagram account. Well, accurately, we kind of cajoled/begged/bullied/enticed... Amie LeBlanc kicked things off, and every other week, we've had a new host. (Check out Victoria Saddleman's highlight reel, and Kalmia Hockin's recap, here.) Marilyn Marinus agreed to get on board. … Continue reading Marilyn looks back on her week-long takeover
Lately, I've somehow become one of those people who comes home from work, sits on the couch, turns on Netflix and half watches an episode of something mildly interesting at best while also distracting myself with something equally uninteresting on my phone. My Instagram takeover was the perfect time to practice introspective time where I … Continue reading Practicing the art of Stillness with my iPhone in hand: tales of an instagram takeover
Victoria Saddleman was the second person to step up as our guestagrammer on the Wellness Almanac's instagram account. Did she know what I was asking of her? Well, I hardly knew what I was asking of people. It was kind of a "jump in and see how the water seems" invitation. So, she did. Can … Continue reading How to be brave, with Victoria Saddleman
My name is Kalmia and I am passionately in love this town. Am I ever going to get over how ridiculously beautiful Pemberton is? I first moved here in December of 2012 and I each day I have loved it more and more deeply than the last. But life isn't always smiling corgis and picturesque … Continue reading We have a new guestagrammer on board. Tour Pemberton through the eyes of Kalmia Hockin
On January 11, 2016, Amie Le Blanc logged into instagram as The Wellness Almanac. For the next week, we experienced life through her eyes. It was an experiment. It was the launch of, what we hope, to be a long experiment, into sharing perspectives and walking in each other's shoes. Show us a week in … Continue reading I took over the Wellness Almanac’s instagram account for a week. This is why.
I fall in love with people over instagram. I know that social media feeds like instagram get a bad rap for selfie overload, for encouraging narcissism, or envy and depression thanks to such inaccurate presentations of people's lives. But you don't have to follow that stuff. And, I like seeing the world through someone else's … Continue reading Amie Le Blanc is taking over our instagram account today for the week
