Shiftcon Blew My Mind. POW!!!

This past week I did something amazing.  Really amazing. I’m pretty sure you won’t believe it.   Watch my video to hear what I was up to…

Yes, that’s right. You heard it.  I went to a blogger conference called Shiftcon.  My first conference.  When we checked in I thought we were going to get a swag bag.  I was right. Except that there were three swag bags!  They were filled with loot!  And throughout the conference I got even more stuff from brands.  Check it out!

One of the most amazing parts of the conference was the people I met.  Right when I got there I got to meet Leah Segedie.  She is the one who invited me to come here and she runs the conference.  She is also really well known in the blogging world.  I also saw my friend Tamara Rubin who runs Lead Safe America. She also snuck me into the pool since I wasn’t staying at the hotel.  Here is Tamara with me and my mom.

I also met lots of nice new people.  Many of them were famous bloggers!  And some of them were just getting started.  I thought everybody was super nice.

Below is Andrea Donsky. Her blog is called Naturally Savvy and you can check her out too!

I also got to meet Janice Roodsari.  She was also really friendly and she knows my friend Tamara too.

I also got to meet two people I have wanted to meet.  I met Catherine McCord from Weelicious.  We make her recipes a lot and my brother also really likes to watch her videos.  And on the last day I got to meet Robyn O’Brien.  She was super nice too.  Robyn was speaking there because she is one of the people who is working hard to make food safer.  I have a lot of friends with really bad food allergies and Robyn is really frustrated because she thinks a lot of the allergies are because of the chemicals that some companies are putting in our food.  I think that we should not buy food from those companies and then they would go out of business.

I went to a lot of workshops too.  They were an hour and a half long.  Most people thought I couldn’t sit through them.  But here is a picture of me listening intently.

I learned that some bloggers post things on Facebook every hour! I definitely do not have time to do that since I am in school and have other activities.  But I might consider posting more often.  I also got really inspired to start Instagram and I met a couple of people who offered to help me with that because they are really good at it.

I also gave out a lot of business cards to brands and some of them were really excited to work with me.  Some of these were already my favorite brands so I feel very lucky.

All in all, I had a great experience at Shiftcon 2015. I can’t wait to go back next year!
