I’m Heading to BlissDom 2012!

A few weeks ago I asked you to help me with a sponsorship to BlissDom by taking a nutrition assessment from Centrum.

Thank you for taking the time to help me but unfortunately I didn’t get the sponsorship.

Thankfully, I had already bought my ticket but I was hoping to be reimbursed and win money to help with gas, hotel, food etc.

This will be my 4th blogging conference and having a sponsor would certainly help out (my husband was really hoping I’d win because these conferences don’t fit into our budget!).

My sister is going with me and we are excited about seeing our blogging friends and meeting new blogging friends. (This may sound boring to some of you, but I promise it’s a blast!)

The BlissDom conference is held at the Opryland Hotel and it is huge and we do a lot of walking.

As I’m preparing what to take, and thinking about my outfits, I can’t tell you how important it is to be comfortable (I learned this one the hard way).

The days are long with lots of conferences to attend, standing around talking, and of course, walking.

Here are a few outfits I put together on my polyvore boards that I think would be perfect to wear to BlissDom~

This would be a comfortable outfit. I added a scarf and cute earrings to accessorize.

I love red and this sweater is perfect! Although I love heels, flats are a must with the amount of walking we will be doing.

I ordered this pretty bag from Nest of Posies to carry around at the conference. It’ll be great to carry my laptop and camera in all day.

I still have a lot to get done before we leave but I can’t wait!

Traci and I will be  rooming with Myra from My Blessed Life, we looooove her and have been to several conferences with Myra but we’ve never roomed together.

We’re also rooming with Tonya from Love of Family and Home. We have never met Tonya in person but Traci and I both chat with her online all the time. She is adorable and we can’t wait to meet her in person!

Why in the world Traci and I decided to room with two young ladies, we’re not sure. We’ll have to get up two hours before they get up and pack on the eye cream and anti-aging moisturizer before they see us! 🙂

Oh well! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Beauty For the Heart~~One of my readers sent me the sweetest email this week and she included a verse she had read in her devotional time and she wanted to share it with me. I can’t tell you how much I loved it!

It’s Ecclesiastes 9:7-8 from The Message version.

Oh yes—God takes pleasure in your pleasure! Dress festively every morning. Don’t skimp on colors and scarves.  

How funny is that? Made my day!!

  1. How wonderful that you will be attending Blissdom! I can only hope and pray that one day I will get to attend a blogging conference. Love the bag!

  2. I luv The Message too! It’s the bible I’ve chosen to use on my blog! The lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path!!!

  3. So glad you & Traci can go on this trip together…. I LOVE roadtrips 🙂 I’m sure most of us don’t think blogging conferences are boring (even tho’ we’ve never been to one!)…. we love your blogs so I would think they would be just as wonderful! Please don’t worry about your aging Cyndi!!! A couple years ago I lost a dear friend to cancer ( we were both in our 20’s and were a month apart in age and even had baby boys named the same) and now I am thankful for every single year & day that God gives me! Even if my eyes are wrinkled at 40 and my hair graying…. I’m thankful for health and life to live for my God! You are beautiful on the INSIDE and that makes you beautiful on the outside too— and all that comes with age! 🙂 Lots of Love,
    Joy
