NEW Ambassador : Devon Hollway Demint

Posted By: Daphne's

Categories: Community, Daphne's California Greek, Exercise, Healthy Living

Hi, I'm Devon.

     I'm a writer and surfer. I quit may job last June to follow my heart and do both. Was it crazy? Probably, but it was just something I needed to do.

     I've taken a journal with me everywhere since I saw Harriet the Spy in 6th grade and I've been in love with the ocean my whole life. 

     As an adult, I identified surfing and writing to be my favorite forms of self-expression, so it only made sense to write about surfing. I'm fascinated by words that perfectly describe feelings and I'm captivated by waves that help you demonstrate those feelings. Sand and eraser shavings seem to follow me around.

     I was born and raised in Orange County, California, but now my husband Scott and I call San Diego home. We live in a sleepy beach town down the street from my parents. If the air grows quiet and the waves grow big, which isn't that often, we can hear the ocean. On days when the wind blows from the south we could probably even hear my parents. This is the way we like it. We live in a small community, but dream about big adventures.

    We love to travel to uncommon places to find uncrowded waves. In all my travels I have found that the best adventures in life are the ones you least expect.

Devon is a sponsored surfer, well followed blogger and writer, and Daphne's newest brand ambassador!  Stay tuned as she shares with us her healthy eating habits, active lifestyle tips, and continuous travel adventures.

GENAI KERR CHECKS IN FROM LONDON

Posted By: Daphne's

Categories: Competition, Daphne's California Greek, health benefits of honey

U.S. Olympian and Daphne’s California Greek Brand Ambassador Genai Kerr checks in with Romanian Olympic water polo team at the 2012 London Games.

The Olympics have always been a special event in my life. As a child, I would dream about what it would be like to be the best in the world -- imagining winning countless gold medals and standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the podium with the world’s top athletes.

Yet, it was not until college that I developed a very specific plan of action that would allow me to achieve my goals of becoming an Olympian. I was then set on a course that would include years and years of preparation and training with some of the most talented and dedicated athletes and coaches from around the country and the world.

To this day, I am still overwhelmed by the fact that I was part of the 2004 U.S. Olympic team in Athens. The sense of pride is almost impossible to explain. But you can see it, feel it, almost taste it at the 2012 London Games. Surrounded by thousands of athletes, I again feel the intensity of excitement and pride of representing your country on the world stage.

It’s been an honor to watch and be among this year’s incredible lineup of athletes.

More to come from London…
