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 thought it was very cool that GM sponsored the cars for some moms to travel to the event,how cool was that! You remember that I test drove their Buick Lacrosse for a week, so I’m glad they suppported Blogalicious too.
Friday night was the kick off party and I got to mingle with some of the most creative people lol. 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.
I also got a chance to meet in person Stacey McBride-Irby! She designs for Barbie,now you know I was in heaven. She displayed the latest, So In Style Barbies and they were also in the goody bags too!

GM also shuttled us over to Uptown Lounge for an after party sponsored by SunkissedMommy. When the party was over you got to leave with a Pink clutch purse to remember breast cancer awareness. I’m loving my pink purse lol. I’ve never been to such a well thought out event,kudos to you!
There were so many cool women there and some local celeb mommies stopped by for photo opts. It was so nice to see them. Pr guru Marvet Britto was there and she reps SunkissedMommy. I told Marvet I was loving her Christian Louboutin shoes lol.

Saturday was full of workshops on how to make your blog better, money making ideas,technical trouble shooting and the list goes on and on. Later that evening, Disney Parks and Blogrollers sponsored a party and we got a chance to see the new Disney character Tiana the frog princess. We wore tiaras and line danced the night away. At the party I saw, Funkidivagirl, CutieBootyCakes, Broke Socialite and Blogrollers partying, you guys looked fab!
Sunday started off with a brunch sponsored by Suave and a song by Capital recording artist Priscilla Renea(www.priscillareneamusic.com). I had just missed her performance but heard she did a great job! Later, it was more workshops then people started to leave…Awh. Oh… I must not forget the fab goody bags they gave out at registration. There was lotions, makeup,coupons, gadgets,barbies,blankets,purses and all kids of fab goodies. If you missed the conference this year, please try to make it next year. It’s going to be at another city, but I’m sure it will be just as nice as it was here in the Atlanta!
