You probably weren’t expecting to hear from me while I was at Blissdom, but I had to pop in to let you know that I am having an AMAZING time here at the conference. I thought last year was out-of-this-world. But, this year? Already takes the cake.
I’ll let the hubby express the excitement for me…
Alrighty then.
When I arrived last year I was completely overwhelmed {it was my first blogging conference}. I remember hiding out acting like I was on my iPhone just so I wouldn’t have to try and mingle and be social with a bunch of girls that I didn’t know.
This year I came with a completely different attitude. I was ready to meet and chat with everyone. I think the husband is rubbing off on me. He’s the social butterfly in our relationship. Me? I stick to myself.
But not this year. This year he would be proud.
I didn’t say I wasn’t sweating profusely as I was doing it. Right through the cardigan.
Especially when I met Scott Stratten and Jon Acuff. Holy sweaty pits batman.
You know what really stinks? When you get dressed in the morning and think you love your outfit. Then you see about 600 pictures of yourself and you realize you hate your outfit. Gah!
I do love my new mint necklace though from Caroline G Bows, but I was not digging my tank. I think it shrunk in the dryer.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Lindsey from The Pleated Poppy. I ADORE her etsy shop and her blog. I think I have a minor girl crush on her. 😉
And then there’s Ashley from The Shine Project. Ummm, equally as fabulous. If you haven’t heard about The Shine Project GO NOW and be inspired. For realz.
I bought three of her bracelets {mine are on the right, hers on the left}. I could have bought 300 of them.
It’s late and tomorrow is the last day of the conference. I have tons more people that I want to tell you about, but this chick needs some shut eye. Goodnight!

I think your outfit is super cute! I would be nervous at a blog conference too 🙂
Mandy Hank says
I am so happy for you, love seeing all the pics from there. It makes me want to buy my ticket for the conference next year right now. Never been but now I want to go!
I met Ashley a few weeks ago and got a bracelet, they are adorable 🙂
The Norwegian Girl says
Have a great time and take lots of pictures to share with us later! 🙂
Melissa says
Your tank looks adorable. I love the outfit in the top photo with the pink scarf, white tank and black cardi. You look great in both.
Lindsey says
So glad you are having a great time at Blissdom Mandy!! I am hoping and praying to be there next year!! Have a safe trip home! xo

I totally felt the same way this year. I just wanted to hide last year, but this year I hit my groove. I ran yelling “Mindy” across the lobby one afternoon because I’m a huge fan of cutegirlhairstyles on YouTube. (Sidenote: my other YouTube crush is EmilyNoel83 and I saw you got to meet her last week!) Overall, such an awesome experience. So glad to meet you!
