#BagLadiesLive at #Blogalicious5

Today kicks off the 5th annual Blogalicious Conference!  This year the conference is being held in Atlanta!  WooHoo!  I didn't have to travel ($$$)!  This isn't my first Blogalicious rodeo!  I went two years ago when the conference was held in DC.  I wasn't even a year into blogging when I went but I made some of my greatest connections there.  One of the connections I made was with Bag Ladies Radio creator and producer, Erin.  Since meeting Erin two years ago, I'm now one of her co-host for the Bag Ladies Radio show.  Meeting Erin, led to me meeting my bloggy BFF Danielle from The Style and Beauty Doctor, who was co-hosting the show when I came on as a guest.  See how Gawd works?  I'm telling you guys this story to say that Bag Ladies Radio will be LIVE at Blogalicious 5!

Bag Ladies Radio is the official social media partner for this years Blogalicious!  During the Blogalicious conference the Bag Ladies Radio Team will be hosting a fabulous suite sponsored by EDEN Body Works, FabKids, Lulu*s and Flat Out of Heels.  We will dishing on the fashion scene, speakers, recaps and GIVEAWAYS!  Follow us on twitter with the hashtag #BagLadiesLive and @BabyShopa, @BagLadiesRadio @StyleNBeautyDoc.

I'm looking forward to seeing "old" internet buddies and meeting new ones!  Are you heading to Blogalicious?  Make sure you stop by our suite!

Indique + JustFab Lipstick & High Heels Event Chicago #BlogHer13

To kick of BlogHer 2013, I hosted the 2nd Lipstick & High Heels event at Indique Boutique Chicago.  Indique is a luxury hair extension line (I'm currently wearing) with boutiques in Chicago, all over North East, South Africa and coming soon to Atlanta (Whoot!).  Indique along with JustFab, were premier sponsors of the Lipstick and High Heels event.  To say we had a ball is an understatement!

Washing My Indique Hair with EDEN Bodyworks

I've had my Indique extensions in for almost a month, even though it feels like I just got them.  I was way over due for a wash.  To be honest, I was scared!  What will the curls look like?  Will they stay in or wash out?  Will it get crazy frizzy or tangle up?  With everything going on with my mom and getting ready for BlogHer I didn't have the time to go to my stylist to have her do it.  So I said... F it (not really) and did it myself.  

EDEN Bodyworks + #BlogHer13 + #Giveaway

I'm happy to announce that I will be heading to Chicago for BlogHer next week! *Throws glitter*. I attended BlogHer in NYC last year and had a ball!  You can check out my recaps HERE of the shenanigans that went on while I was there.  With the assistance of EDEN BodyWorks, I am ready to take on  BlogHer in my hometown Chicago, blogger style!  To celebrate, EDEN BodyWorks is giving away one full size collection of the new Coconut Shea line!

Happy Friday!  This week has been bananas!  Looks like a MAC truck ran over my face today!  Thank you for all the well wishes for my mom!  She is doing great!

This weeks Fashionista Next Door, Style Me Friday inspiration is Kourtney Kardashian little black dress with neon accessories.  I wore my Style Me Friday look to the Style with Eden event on Wednesday evening where I served as the Digital MC for the night.  I didn't get to take many pictures since I was busy tweeting and instagraming.

CurlBox Black Friday Sale

I actually started my Black Friday shopping on Thursday night (more to come on that).  So my Friday was pretty open so Peyton and I set out to the first CurlBox Black Friday Warehouse Sale!  This event was EPIC!  

Just in case you are not familiar with CurlBox, it is a monthly box subscription that comes filled goodies to try for curly hair.  Each box comes with 5-7 hand picked products monthly!  Most products are full size so you can't loose!  If you love trying new products or just a product junkie like myself, this is a awesome and cost effective way to do so at $20 a month!  Now back to the Black Friday Sale....

With CurlBox owner, the fabulous Myleik and I.  If you live in Atlanta and did not go, you missed out big time! Please don't get jello! : )

Hair Products Peyton Hearts

Peyton has a lot of hair.  Her hair is a work in progress but I am asked all the time what I use in her hair.  Looks like other moms have the same issues.  The popular "Baby" shampoo's never worked for her.  When she was born there were no options like Cara B and Shea Moisture for babies.  I had to try other products more suitable for her hair.  I'm not ingredient obsessed but try to stick with products that are free of parabens, sulfate and harsh alcohols.  You should definitely use what works best for you.  Here is a little info about about the ingredients.

Parabens: Preservatives that can mimic estrogen.  Estrogen and babies doesn't sound like a good mix to me.

Sulfates:  Detergents that produce lather.  Can cause eye irritation, dry skin and tangled hair.  I will use a product with sulfate every once in a while for a deep cleaning. Not for weekly washes. 

Harsh Alcohols: Evaporate quickly and will cause dry hair cuticles, therefore drying out the hair.

Here are some our favorite products that we use on the regular and why we heart them!  Of course not at the same time! LOL! Depends on the style. 

Shop The Aisle Blogger Style Valdosta Recap

Sunday I hosted a Shop The Aisle Blogger Style at Walmart in Valdosta, GA.  Being a hair and beauty product junkie, I was happy to talk to guest about my experience with the products that were part of the event. 

Swag! Lipstick + High Heels

I know I have been going on, and on about BlogHer!  I just wanted to highlight the awesome gift bag sponsors for the Lipstick + High Heels party in NYC!  I reached out to brands that I love and use on a regular basis that I knew my guest would enjoy!

Lipstick + High Heels + EDEN Cocktails!

BlogHer was a world-wind!  Still trying to get my life together. 

To kick off BlogHer I hosted a blogger social, Lipstick + High Heels with co-host Danielle from The Style + Beauty Doctor on Thursday night at Pranna in Manhattan.  The event was sponsored by EDEN Bodyworks!  EDEN Bodyworks is an natural hair care line that contains No Alcohol, No Petroleum, No Mineral Oils and No Sodium Sulfates.

Lipstick + High Heels was off the hook!  Bloggers from all over the country came together for this social.  I was truly honored to be in the midst of these wonderful women!  What an great way to kick off the conference in style!
