BlogHer 2013 – Here We Come!

The time has finally come and I’m on my way (with my good friend, Heather) to Chicago for BlogHer 2013 (heck, maybe I’m already there). BlogHer is an annual conference where bloggers from around the world join together to connect, learn, discuss and inspire each other. (5,000 of us!) We all come from different and diverse backgrounds and hope to make long lasting connections.

In addition to meeting fellow bloggers, there will be workshops to help expand our knowledge on blogging(and hopefully help me with technical aspects of running this show). We will have a chance to listen to various speakers and hear their advice on the blogging world (such as Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman). If all that wasn’t enough, we will also have networking opportunities with various companies who have helped to sponsor this exciting event. This includes attending parties and some private parties!

I’m sure we will be blasting social media over the next couple days. Be sure to follow me to stay up to date on the happenings in Chicago. I’ll be running my first 5k tomorrow morning, so I’m pretty excited about all that!

Hopefully, I will take away new friendship, knowledge on the blogging world and new relationships with some sponsors. Most of all, I hope to take away some incredible memories that I can hold onto! I can’t wait to catch up with y’all next week to let you know how it all went!

BlogHer ’13: Blog Hop #5: Final Questions

As previously mentioned, this July I will be heading to the BlogHer conference in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited! BlogHer is a chance to meet with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and for everyone to expand their horizons! The Kavanaugh Report and The Naptown Organizer have put together a monthly link up for everyone attending so we can get to know each other a little better!

Questions:  

1. What session are you most excited to attend?
 DSLR workshop, WordPress (I’ve been told I should switch over), Marketing and Monetization. I’m not going to lie, I think I’m going to enjoy any session I attend. Call me a nerd, I like to learn!
2. What BlogHer party are you most excited to attend?
 I honestly don’t know that much about the BlogHer parties. I’ll be stopping by though!
3. Are you attending any private parties?
 South Walton Beach VIP party – get ready to see me and my pale skin in all white (if I can find an outfit) and let’s hope that I win this free trip!!
4. Will you be attending the Expo Hall?
 Busy, busy schedules… I’m going to try and swing by during “free” time. It’d be nice to see what’s going on and meet some folks and make some relationships! There’s some great sponsors!
5. Any last minute tasks you need to finish before we leave for the conference? 
 Outfits, media kit, print all these tickets and get rid of my nerves.
Oh yea, and keeping up with running so I can run the majority of the 5k, haha!

See y’all in a week!

BlogHer ’13 Blog Hop #4: Fashion

As previously mentioned, this July I will be heading to the BlogHer conference in Chicago and I couldn’t be more excited! BlogHer is a chance to meet with other bloggers, learn more about blogging and for everyone to expand their horizons! The Kavanaugh Report and The Naptown Organizer have put together a monthly link up for everyone attending so we can get to know each other a little better!

This edition is a little different, they wanted to challenge us a bit. If it isn’t obvious, appearance is a big part of this blog event. You really want to sell yourself and your blog, so we all need to fit the part. Which means, I must go shopping pronto. Instead of telling you about our plans, we’re going to show you!   This month’s link up is the BlogHer Freaking Out About Fashion edition!

Because I can almost guarantee pretty much every female blogger who goes to BlogHer for the first time is doing exactly that – thinking about what to wear, how much shopping should be done, how much repurposing of current fashions can be done, and just how awesome we all want to look!

– Show us one pair of comfortable shoes you’ll be sure to bring.
Yes, I live in Texas and I LOVE my boots!

– Show us one current item in your wardrobe you’ll be packing.
This dress is much cuter on but since I don’t have a great picture you’ll just have to wait for one!

– Show us one accessory you already own that you’ll be bringing to the conference.

Well, here is more than one…

– Show us your shapewear. {Let’s get real. We’re all going to be wearing it.}
In all seriousness, I’m completely bypassing this. I hate them, they are uncomfortable and I end up tugging at them all day. You’re getting all me!

– And finally, show us a dream outfit that you don’t own but would love to, and would wear to BlogHer if you could!
Just one? Have you seen my Pinterest?
