Whirlwinds abound!!!
This morning I went to Jenn and Jill’s talk on becoming a passionista. Really great content! Very inspiring too 🙂
Before lunch, Tina, Sabrina and I went to a fabulous diva event at the Warwick Hotel called Getting Gorgeous
It was quite the glamour event!
Sabrina and I tried on some cool Miraclebody jeans – touted to slim you down
They were hot! I came home with a pair!
Gorgeous jewelry by Lia Sophia
I love these!
But I came home with a gorgeous gold necklace!!
Also some Hanes socks and a new SWASH thing by TIDE that gets rid of wrinkles on shirts and a curling iron by Remington that Larbs had bribed me to give to her 🙂
By the time we got back to the Hilton, we were all famished for lunch
Lucky us it was a gorgeous spread!
A wonderful plate of vegetables!!!!
Salad, roasted veggies, pasta salad primavera, Israeli couscous, grapes, a tiny pumpernickel sandwich, beet salad. It was awesome!!!
The desserts are ALWAYS good! Sabrina and I brought back plates for the table and I had bites of probably half of these. Just enough for all the pleasures of dessert to put me on the verge of feeling a bit sick. But thankfully I stopped just in time!
The best part of BlogHer is the Expo Hall!! I had so much fun talking to vendors and chatting up my blog. Lots of free samples to try!
My water bottle said hi to the Thermos booth!! Best water bottle ever!
These ladies recognized me!! RDs from Edelman working the Jimmy Dean booth. They assured me I should not be too nervous about the RD exam 🙂
I tried out the Tempurpedic Cloud. WOW. I was sold…
Some nice entertainment
A bite of Butterfinger with mom
Got Milk?
MAN I am TIRED! BlogHer is exhausting stuff!
We are glaming up for a really fun event with Kendall Jackson!
I convinced Larbs to curl my hair with my new Remington curling iron. I’ll be all ringlets soon :mrgreen:
Party time!
Nancy @ The Wife of a Dairyman says
Oooh, can’t wait to see the party pics! Love all the venders but am especially partial to the Got Milk booth 😉
Gavi @ GaviGetsGoing! says
Looks like SUCH a fun event! Thanks so much for sharing the experience with us faithful readers. Can’t wait to see your ringlet hair! 🙂

holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
What a fun day! I hope there is a pic of you as a diva — I want to see!
Those little desserts look delicious!
Evan Thomas says
It’s so nice to see bloggers getting together. Can’t wait for HLS
Laura says
Glad you guys are having such a great experience! If it’s not too personal, are the items you got today part of the “swag” give-aways or do the vendors have items for purchase? It almost seems like the conference would pay for itself in a sense if you got all those items plus new insights from the breakout sessions!
Kath says
All the swag is free. Usually sample size.but sometimes really cool stuff!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
That looks like SUCH a fun event – so much pampering and good food! I have major envy right now 😛
Trish @IamSucceeding says
It just gets better and better!! =) Love those earrings too!
Kim says
The passionista session sounds interesting. Looking forward to reading about it all.
Maggie (livingfoodjunkie) says

Amanda @ Vegacious says
So funnnnnnn!!!!!! 🙂
Lea says
I can’t wait to see the ringlets. I like to wear my hair wavy too (when I have time), but it’s think and long so it takes time for me.
You and your sister are cute. Me and my sisters do the same…we do each other’s hair and make-up too.
lynn (The Actors Diet) says

Caitlyn @ A Spoonful of Life says
Ooooo….so much fun stuff!! It’s like Christmas in August!
Hannah says
You ladies don’t need help getting gorgeous or glamorous! You’re naturally beautiful, imho 🙂
Mmm, butterfingers. I should probably crave the healthier stuff, shouldn’t I? Ah well, no threat… we don’t get betterfingers in Australia!
Marla says
Wow!
Do you get the jeans and necklace free for mentioning them on blog? Awesome!
What other goodies were in the swag bags?
Can’t wait to hear!
Sounds like there are some fun freebies at the conference 😉

I hate to use the word jealous…so I’ll say this: I am uber envious of all the fun you ladies are having in NY!!!:0)

morning, Kath
been reading with interest all about the BlogHer adventure. I looked up the internet site for BlogHer, but it was not an easy read. Can you point me in the best direction to find out more about this conference for future? It seems like lots of fun, and that’s really what I need.
(congrats on your pretty new cottage in Charlottesville)
