Have you ever wanted something really really badly? Well I really really wanted to go to the RewardStyle party in New York. Ever since I saw all of my favorite bloggers at the rooftop party 3 years ago while sitting in class and perusing the net…. I really really wanted to go. It’s one of those things I can’t fully explain – like how I really really wanted the multicolored sparkle Ariel shirt when I was 6 and we were at Disney world. I didn’t get it, but Santa came through that year. Thanks Santa!Anyway, back to the RewardStyle party…..the first problem/obstacle to overcome in order to go was being approved. In order to go you have to be approved as a RewardStyle member and I got denied. Twice. Let’s be honest, rejection hurts in any way shape form or fashion and this was no exception. But I decided to give it one more go. That included blogging at least 3 times a week about monetizable information.I’ll be the first to say that I thought blogging would be SOOOOOOO EAAASSSSYYY – I mean COME ON. All you have to do it sit down and write out your thoughts. Right!?And while it is true that law is 10 times more mentally challenging than blogging, Blogging still uses that one commodity that’s hard to come by… time. And for me it takes a bit more personal bravery too. With law you’re trying your best for that one answer, the right answer, the concise, clear, comprehensive answer. But with blogging you’re sharing personal thoughts on the Internet… woaaaaaaaa. Hold up.
Anyway, I FINALLY got approved for RewardStyle a few months ago, and when I got the invitation for the rooftop party I felt like this. And even though it was one week out, I said LOAD UP LET’S DO IT. It was so fun getting to meet the bloggers that inspire me on a daily basis. Here are some of the pics from our trip..
On Thursday I drove 3 hours to D.C. and spent the night with Christina. Then we took the express train in on Friday morning
