Best Virtual Valentine’s Day Events for Work

1/23/2023

0 Comments

 
Make memories and sweet treats with your team for Valentine’s Day.​

Why should you celebrate Valentine’s Day with your team?

Valentine's Day is known for romantic dinners, expensive chocolate and bouquets of roses, but that’s not the right vibe for work. Since V-day is all about love, it’s a great chance to show your team some appreciation with a fun event and some sweet treats.

Instead of passing out store-bought candies, treat your team to an experience that facilitates connection and makes memories together.  

Best Valentine’s Day Events for Work:

Valentine’s Day Cocktail (or Mocktail) Happy Hour

​

We’ll start our workshop by making our Hibiscus Margarita. You’ll discover how to make your cocktails taste delicious while also being “healthy-ish” with the help of your Holistic Nutritionist and mixologist host. While we sip on our cocktail or mocktail, we’ll whip up our chocolate-rose truffles.

Gingerbread Love Shack Decorating

Bring in the love and appreciate your team by decorating this sweet treat. Sip a warm and cozy herbal tea, get creative with candy, and make something beautiful that you can eat!

We’ll start our festivities by making a warming herbal tea.  While we sip on our tea we’ll decorate our Gingerbread Love Shack with colorful candies and treats. If some of the edible decorations end up in your belly rather than on the house, that’s part of the fun!
​

This is a fun and highly interactive event that will be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

Share the love and appreciate your colleagues with a fun virtual event. Cute and festive ingredients kits shipped to each participant. ​

Celebrating 7 years of teaching corporate team-building classes

1/17/2023

Today I got a reminder that 7 years ago I hosted my first corporate kombucha workshop at frog' s SF office. I had been teaching public kombucha classes since 2012, but this was my first time in the corporate world.

I carried jingling boxes of jars with kombucha brewing organisms sloshing around inside into the hip loft-style building. I served samples of my homemade kombucha and led attendees through the fermentation process. The group was warm and enthusiastic. I had no ideal that this would be the start of something big.

Today I am also celebrating 1 year of having my very own workspace. It’s my office, packing warehouse, test kitchen, creative laboratory and in-person event venue. Having a physical space to run my business is the only way I have been able to scale in the way I have been able to. I have created over 25 different food, beverage and nutrition workshops ranging from kombucha brewing to non-alcoholic happy hours to zero waste kitchen hacks. Just in 2022, I taught 115 corporate team-building workshops and sent 2,000 packages for my team-building classes.

I love my job so much. It doesn’t mean it’s not hard or scary to run my own business, but it sure is worth it. A few of my favorite things are: connecting with people around food and nutrition, facilitating team-building around things I love, being creative everyday, sending people cute packages, learning constantly, and being really organized (I love organization!).
​

Thank you to all the teams who have booked workshops with me over the last 7 years. I couldn’t do this without you! Excited to see what 2023 has in store. I have lots of great things brewing.
