Alright, I was going to attempt to ease away from blabbing about the Influence Conference, but I was just clicking around the Meet+ Greet linkup that was posted on the blog last week and felt the need to jump in-- even though it's completely last minute! This community means a lot to me and the women in it are so talented, gracious and inspiring. I'm a major hugger, so if we meet, just be prepared for a big hug!
Two things I'll be bringing::
Lots of handmade jewelry and accessories to plan my outfits around:: It's no secret that I love handmade. I'm excited to brag on some of my favorite artists and show my support for the beautiful handmade community I get to be a part of. Also, I'm pretty excited to break out my favorite necklaces and earrings that rarely are worn around Si.
Archer Farms' Dark Chocolate Espresso trail mix:: That stuff is my weakness. And what kind of person would I be if I didn't bring some to share? Track me down if you need chocolate and we can bond over trail mix.
Two things I'm looking forward to::
Seeing blog friends come to life. I love meeting online friends and discovering how alike (or different) they are from what I imagined. Then I get to read their blog in their voice from then on. The internet is real, people.
Sitting in on the Accessible Experts panel with Natalie, Nicole and Erin! Not gonna lie, I'm nervous that I'll look like a buffoon, but excited for the chance to share some of the good stuff I've learned (through trial and error) over the past four years of blogging!
And now that I've answered those questions, I've got two for you--
I'm interested to get an idea of the kinds of questions that might be asked at the panel. I'll be speaking about blog and shop branding, and there will be a wide range of other topics covered like virtual assistants, blog strategy, working with sponsors, etc. If you could ask any blog/shop related question at a panel, what would you ask?
Also, I'll be leaving Silas for the first time overnight and I'm a bit of a mess about it. Got any encouragement or advice for me? Does it make things better or worse to video chat? Is there any way I can prepare him for the separation?
Okay friends. I'm off to clean up my mess of a studio and work on a ginormous pile of laundry that's on our bed. Hope you have a great Monday!
