Ok you guys sit back and grab a cup of coffee or tea and get ready to read this! Ok, so tonight I went to a private dinner party for Eddie Ross, my hottie new friend from the Top Design show on Bravo. Eddie Ross is an amazing designer,editor, antique shopping guru. Some how, some way the Gods from up above channeled him to find me and now he is my bestie!

Yes, I said that and I mean it. He is the coolest guy I’ve ever met and I could tell from his emails that he was very professional, a lil type A like me and a complete nut just like me and sure enough, we bonded right away! We laughed so hard, it was sickening! Ok back to the dinner party.

This gorg event was held at a chic lil place called, JCT Kitchen located in downtown Atlanta. There were about 15 guest that I got to meet and come to find out most of them were bloggers as well. It was so fun learning about all the other guests blogs and interest. Jaithan,did a great job coordinating the event, it was so nice and very well put together.

Blogalicious held their first ever conference in Atlanta over the weekend, and you know I had to stop by. I met soo many wonderful women at this amazing event.The title sponsor was SunkissedMommy and the event was put on by MamaLaw. When I spoke with Justice Fergie of the blog Mama Law, she told me it was a combined effort to put a nice event on for women of color that blog. They chose Atlanta,Ga because it’s full of diversity, its hip and a great location for everyone to get to. All of those factors were key in putting on a great event and thats why they chose Georgia. They all stated that the event went very well for their first time and about 160 women came out. Some other key sponsors that supported their event were, Pine Sol,Disney,Suave,GM, and Mattel.

I interviewed alot of women who had blogs about relationships, parenting, lifestyle, fashion and more! One blogger mom had a great name for her site and it was called, Dancing Hotdogs, I love it. She reviews movies on her blog.
