Chris Evert’s Tips to Carving Time for Exercise

Recently I had the chance of a lifetime… sitting down to chat with one of the best women tennis player of all times: Chris Evert! I have no words to express how fulfilling my time with her was.

This was all possible to thanks to an event hosted by Simply Smart Milk during BlogHer 2010. Evert and Simply Smart have team up since 2009 and thanks to its intimate setting at the Institute of Culinary Education showed bloggers a variety of easy recipes from snacks to entertain perfect for our families and how to balance healthy snacks into a busy lifestyle.
