As you know, at the end of July I had the privilege of speaking at Cosmoprof North America. It was my very first time going to Las Vegas and I was excited as a kid on Christmas! I arrived a few days before my scheduled speaking date, which by the way, I think went quite awesome; I spoke about social media for Private Label (many thanks to Private Label Magazine for that!) I met so many amazing people that it makes my head spin. The only person that I met that I didn’t get a picture with was Robyn Bloom, founder of Purely Cosmetics. I enjoyed our relentless quest in search of steak at 12am Robyn!
Here are some pictures from my time in Vegas–enjoy!

Me and Lisa from AZ Spa Girls.

Me and Elessa from Pursebuzz.

Dan DeLave, me and Michael Lamb from jeune d’age organics.
The very fabulous Kit Rogers and myself.

Jen from Mythbuster Beauty and myself.

The very talented Gary Vaynerchuk from Wine Library and myself.

Lianne from TheMakeupGirl and myself. Love you Miss Lianne!

Dan DeLave, Kit Rogers, Lianne and Michael Lamb at the GCI Magazine networking party.

Jack and Tracey from Sozio, Lianne, Kit, Michael and myself waiting to go into minus 5, a very awesome ice bar in the Mandalay Bay hotel. I will neither confirm nor deny the group of us shouting the lyrics to “What’s Going On” by 4 Non-Blondes at any point during that evening.

Excitement from Jack and Kit before going into freeze our behinds off.

Jack and I laughing at an inside joke. That is all.
You can also see other pictures about who I met at Cosmoprof and some more detailed insights here. If you saw me at Cosmoprof or heard me speak at the panel, be sure to say hi!

Decorative Diva - July 31st, 2009 at 9:30 amAlways a bridesmaid, never a bride, LOL. BTW, wouldn’t it figure that I found GREAT steaks two nights later at Mon Ami Gabi (Paris Hotel) that weren’t $150 each?

Mary@Everyday Baby Steps - August 1st, 2009 at 7:12 amGetting to finally meet with some of you face-to-face was pretty surreal. Such a fun group of enthusiastic individuals!
Shannon’s presentation on social media for Private Label was phenomenal. She was both articulate and provided great insights on the role of twitter, fb, and blogging. One thing that really struck me is that Shannon writes the way she really is, authentic, smart and beautiful too!
Many thanks for the mention here Shannon. Many hugs!

Jen, that is the sweetest thing said about me EVER! Thank you! xo
