National Cherry Blossom Festival Petalpalooza Wellness Zone: Event Recap

Apr 11

A beautiful weekend full of blooms!

Every spring, millions of people around the world flock to admire cherry blossoms during the National Cherry Blossom Festival. I do agree that Cherry blossoms are some of the most beautiful and captivating flowers in the world! These stunning flowers have a cultural significance in many countries and are often associated with themes of renewal, hope, and the impermanence of life.

The 2023 National Cherry Blossom Festival is a wonderful celebration of spring and the enduring friendship between the United States and Japan. During the festival, visitors can enjoy various events, including the Kite Festival, Cherry Blossom Parade, Pink Tie Party and Petalpalooza.

Speaking of Petalpoolza! On Saturday, April 8th, we celebrated spring at Petalpalooza with a full day of live music and engaging activities including yoga in the health and wellness zone! I hosted 30-minute yoga sessions to help festival goers hydrate their body, soul and minds.

This day-long all-ages celebration brought art, music, and play to multiple outdoor stages, interactive art installations, family-friendly hands-on activities, entertainers, and more, all along the banks of the Anacostia River. The evening was capped by the Official National Cherry Blossom Festival Fireworks Show!

but that outfit tho!

Earlier in the week, I had a lululemon style session at my home store, Georgetown, Washington DC, to get outfitted for the 2023 National Cherry Blossom Festival’s Petalpalooza! Check out the video below to shop with me as I haul my favorite Align pieces to help me look super fresh on stage for the health and wellness zone. My selections showcase my personal style and unique personality.

When it comes to styling, it’s super important to understand your body shape and what looks and feels good to you. Also, it’s fun to mix and match patterns, colors, and textures to create visually appealing outfits. All in all, you have to be comfortable in the skin you’re in.

Lululemon style sessions not only help me shop smarter, but I know I’m investing in high-quality pieces that will last for years to come. Whether you're looking to revamp your current athleisure style or simply want to learn more about lululemon and motivation to dress well, this video is for you. Huge thank you to my stylists Macey Cheatham and Jemma Lotzer!
