Hello World! 
I’m just back from Blogalicious 2011 in our nation’s capital where we discovered new blogger buddies, gleaned tips, tools & tricks to step up our blogging; cozied up to brands, loved on Shrek, partied with Ronald McDonald, peeped previews for upcoming Hollywood flicks and MORE – at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center on the Potomac…
But I won’t be selfish…Take a look at my pics…Hopefully, you will feel like you were there…
Me with a fabulous view of the Gaylord & the Potomac River…
My sweet roommate Boni Candelario, who is a career strategy consultant and empowerment coach. Check her out at Coach’m Up Boni!
The brains behind Blogalicious! Justices Ny & Fergie of the Social Niche dancing at the McDonald’s Mardi Gras party!
Ain’t no party like a Blogalicious party ‘cuz a Blogalicious party don’t stop…Go Justice Fergie, Get Busy!
Representatives from the American Cancer Society, the official sponsor of birthdays, demonstrated the importance of funding cancer research…More Birthdays…For more info on how you can help, go to morebirthdays.com.
I love Shrek! I even have a stuffed Shrek in my bedroom!

Trying very hard not look short & stubby next to the beautiful Paula Patton aka Mrs. Robin Thicke… She was there courtesy of COVERGIRL…
Of course, I have to end this post with a mention of God…Charles Butler and Trinity lifted up God with their beautiful voices as an introduction for a preview of “Joyful Noise” starring Queen Latifah & Dolly Parton! The movie will be in theaters January 13, 2012…Stayed tuned for more details…
More pics from Blogalicious will be on the Gallery section of my blog by this Friday, Oct. 29!!!
Any thoughts?

Great recap Jackie. The gospel was good. They sung my song up in there LOL. Glad you made some great connections and can’t wait to see where they take you in the upcoming year.
I know! That choir was awesome!!! Thanks for the support Lamar!
Hi Jackie,
Thanks for those pics! I was so disappointed I wasn’t able to go this year so seeing your pics definitely helps. Can’t wait to see the rest! 🙂
Aiyana, I love your blog 🙂 ! It would have been nice to meet you in person after all of the videos I’ve watched! Hopefully, we will meet at a Blogalicious conference in the future!
Thanks for the recap Jackie! I wish I was there maybe next year:)
Hi Jackie,
Happy New Year and hope all is well. I’m sorry this comment is so late but I wanted to say that your pictures came out great and I hope we are able to room together again. I had so much fun with you at Blogalicious. Can’t wait for the next conference. Keep in touch, Boni
