Blogger + Friend = Blend

blend 2013

  The past few days, I have been surrounded by amazing people. Pure and simple. The day after FitBlogNYC, I boarded an airplane headed to Park City, Utah for Blend and to spend the weekend with a group of beautiful, strong and inspiring women and bloggers.

FitBlogNYC Meet and Tweet

  I’ve been looking forward to this all week – Fitness Magazine’s Blogger Meet & Tweet aka #FitBlogNYC. It was the second year that Fitness Magazine has hosted this event.

I’m not quite sure where to start so I figured I would just start with the pictures. The conference itself was jam-packed with incredible sessions with so so so much information.

I wasn’t expecting to attend more than one blog conference this year. Since I’m in my first year of blogging, I opted to attend Bloggy Bootcamp in Philadelphia back in May. I figured that it would be a good intro blog conference for me – relatively small and packed with great blogging information. But I [...]
