WHL mayhem at Netil House Open Studios
It may have happened a few weeks ago but we still can’t get over the WHL mayhem at Netil House Open Studios!
On Wednesday 2 July, Netil House opened their doors to the public and team WHL were fully prepared (along with our cute office dog, George) for the 2,000 visitors that were expected to arrive. Poised at the ready with glasses of Echo Falls wine for our lovely guests (as well as having a few glasses of our own!), we also packed the room with our favourite treats including Wheyhey protein ice cream, Teapigs Matcha, Nuva water, Popchips, Nak’d bars and Urban Fruit snack packs. It was a health-snack bonanza; at one point we may have even had Metcalfe’s popcorn coming out of our ears!
If you visited us that evening, you may remember that we had a competition running. For a chance to win £250 worth of Odlo and Saucony running gear, we asked guests to submit their best health tips. We received hundreds of entries – some were oldies but goodies – e.g. hot lemon water in the morning, while others were funny, imaginative and even heart-warming. What do you think is the better secret to living a healthy life; ‘laughing a minimum of twice a day’ or ‘regular cold showers to stimulate your blood circulation’? We couldn’t decide – they’re both good! We’ll be announcing the lucky winner within the next few days so keep your eyes and ears peeled on our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages to find out if you won!
Odlo running outfit worth £140
Saucony Ride 8 Trainers worth £110
As well as munching on all the goodies and chin-wagging about healthy mantras on our comfy bean bags, we were also promoting our #RUNYOURCITY Run Club which takes place every Wednesday at 6:45pm starting on Netil 360, the rooftop of Netil House. It’s a great way to run socially, meet new people and feel motivated by the support from others. So get your running shoes on and join us for either a 5k or 8k run around the parks and streets of Hackney.
If you were one of the lucky ones who helped us gobble up all the healthy goods that night, we hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. We also hope you enjoy We Heart Living – make sure you check out our top tips, recipes and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! We’d love to hear from you.
