As BlogHer12 continued on in New York, it just got better
****************************************************************************************
The day began with breakfast, informative sessions and lunch. The keynote speaker for lunch was Katie Couric. I didn’t stick around for her speech because I wanted to make it back to the Expo halls to connect with brands I had not previously had an opportunity to do so with.
I visited the suites of Hershey, Hot Wheels and Reader’s Digest. I’m so glad I did. I was gifted with a toy for Christopher and I connected with Readers Digest on something near and dear to my heart. Losing weight.
Reader’s Digest recently released a book launching The Digest Diet. They will be running a program beginning in September to help people lose weight.
While in the Reader’s Digest suite, I sampled some of the shakes that can be made while on the diet. They were so tasty I signed up to be a participant in the diet program!
I’ll be in constant contact with Reader’s Digest while losing these last 25 pounds.
If you aren’t a subscriber to this here blog, sign up here. You’ll receive updates on how the Digest Diet is working. I’ll share my triumphs and my challenges.
The Indoor BonFire
And then there was Hershey, S’mores for all!
Hershey made it all fun. The room was set up like a camp in the woods. It was a relaxing suite until I almost burned it down.
See, what had happened was I was roasting a marshmallow when my stick caught on fire and the fire began to spread.
Yeah, Hershey couldn’t wait for me to leave.
More Connections & Parties
As with day 1 of BlogHer, I met so many wonderful bloggers. We spent time learning about each others blogs as well as partying together throughout the night!
A Style Fashion Show sponsored by PetSmart and 6PM and 3 parties filled the agenda- A Come as You Are Party, A Social Fiesta and the infamous CheeseburgHer sponsored by McDonald’s.
My BlogHer Day 1 post, was pretty pic happy. So, today I put some pictures from the fashion show into slide show form.
And then there was CheeseburgHER. Yes, that’s what you see. Crazy women with decorated McDonald’s paper bags on their head – including me
Next year BlogHer13 will be held in the windy city of Chicago. I don’t plan to miss it either. My husband and son are going to join me. We’ll spend any free time together (if there is any) and hubby will watch our son while I’m out learning and socializing
Have you ever attended a BlogHer conference? If not, would you like to?
