It’s Friday, so I’m linking up with Courtney at Eat, Pray, Run DC, Cynthia at You Signed Up for What and Mar at Mar on the Run. Each week they pick a theme and bloggers join in and link up. This year instead of specific themes, they’re letting us be creative with broad themes for each week of the month. This is a “free” week. Basically, anything goes.
I’m on my way to Baltimore to cover Expo East as an official Expo Blogger. So, here are “5 Reasons This Will Be An Awesome Weekend!”
1. I’m taking the day off to cover Expo East as one of twenty official Expo Bloggers. I apologize in advance for #allthetweets #alltheInstagrams, etc! I’m so excited to be on the media team. I get insider access to #allthebrands. I’m so excited. Even though this is not the hugest blog out there, I feel like “kind of a big deal.”
2. 1,563 vendors! That’s a lot of “finds,” right?! I may need a bigger office, huh? Here’s the list. I have some appointments with some great new companies and some Finds’ faves. Trust me, you’ll hear all about it!
3. The opportunity to meet some blogger friends IRL (in real life!). Lauren and Kaila will be there. I’ve “known” them for the last few years and have followed their adventures, ups and downs virtually. Now, I get to meet them in the real world. I hope to make some new blogger friends, too!
4. I get to run with Lauren in a new city. Charm City it is! Inner Harbor, here we come! I haven’t been to Baltimore in more than 20 years. I’m excited to check it out on the run.
5. Tasting all the tastes and finding all the finds!! I’ve gotten a ton of emails explaining new products and line extensions from brands I love. There are some trends I knew about and some that are new to me. It’s no surprise that some of my faves are nominated for NEXTY awards. I can’t wait to try them and to share them with you! Just like Expo West, I’ll share my haul. Don’t worry! And, this time I’m checking out some beauty products, too!
It’s been a super busy month so far in work and life. I’m really excited to take a break from my “real life” for a day and a half to get the latest healthy scoop, try #allthehealthyfoods, be an “official blogger” and just have fun! Let me know in the comments if there’s anything you want me to find, taste or test. I’ll do my best!
I hope you get to take a TV time out this weekend to do something you love! Have a great weekend, friends! BOLO for #alltheshares.
