My First Pinners Conference

September 13, 2016

I feel really lucky to live in a big metroplex.  There’s always something going on, especially on the weekends.  This past weekend I had the chance to attend the Pinners Conference and Expo in Arlington, Texas.  I paid $99 to attend as a VIP Pinner.  This meant that I was invited to the VIP party on Thursday night, received a big bag filled with products from vendors and attended a nice reception.  I was also able to sign up early for classes and didn’t have to wait in lines for classes either.  It was a nice little perk.

The Pinners Conference had two rooms filled with vendors selling their wares.  These were pretty much things that you see on Pinterest boards and wish you knew how to make them yourself.  Many booths also offered instructions on how to make projects.  In addition, there were classes going on all day Friday and Saturday.  I picked four different classes that were perfect for me and my interests.

My first class was with Becki from Whippy Cake.  She taught Easy Hairstyles in Less Than 15 Minutes.  She went over a slew of products that she likes to use and demonstrated curling techniques with the flat iron.  She is so much fun and so entertaining.  You should definitely go follow her blog Whippy Cake.  She also has a Youtube channel that you can connect to through her blog.

The next class I attended was Beauty 101 taught by Corinna from Corinna B’s World.  She went over so many wonderful topics.  I really enjoyed listening to her talk about how beauty begins with confidence and how you project yourself.  Corinna is a trained makeup artist who is currently the Beauty Director for Luca Magazine, which is designed for 16-22 year olds.  The magazine is all about beauty, fashion, fitness and more.

My next class was called Say No to Auto on Your Fancy Camera taught by Joy from Capturing Joy.  Joy is a professional photographer and also a blogger.  She shared the basics on composing good photos.  By the way, my blog photos for this post were done on my iphone, not my fancy camera.  LOL!  Joy has a wonderful blog where she has many many posts about photography tips.  Go check that out HERE.

happy planner

My last class of the day was taught by Stephanie who created the Happy Planner.  We paid just $20 each and received an AMAZING bundle of planner supplies to get started with a new Happy Planner.  Planning just so happens to be one of my current obsessions, so I was so excited to be in this class.

This picture contains mostly the products that we each received in the Happy Planner class along with a few other goodies that I picked up from some of the booths at the show.

The conference had a second day filled with classes as well.  I actually decided to skip the second day because I had so many other things that I needed to do on Saturday.  I am so happy that I was able to attend the Pinners Conference and Expo.  It was so much fun.  I sure hope they decide to come back to Texas again next year.  You can check out the Pinners website to see if they have a stop in your town.

Is a Pinterest conference something that would interest you?  Let me know in the comments below.

    Would this be a good venue for a vendor in your opinion. Booth fees are expensive and I just want to be sure people are buying 😉

      It was fabulous! If you have products that people love then you will sell a lot. People were definitely shopping at the Dallas location conference. Good Luck! Stacie xo

    I’m going this year…woot!

    Was there anything you took that you were so glad you had brought?

    Was there anything you wish you had brought, but didn’t?

    I’ve bought all the kits for my classes…is there anything not in the kits I should bring?

    Thanks!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

Since I’m trying to use more clean sustainable products both in my home and on my body, I wanted to share an online marketplace for 1000’s of carefully curated and vetted essentials including cleaning products that are free of harsh chemicals, clean beauty products, expert curated vitamins and SO MUCH MORE!

My first box arrived at my home last week and I was so happy to see everything that I ordered including some clean beauty products to take on this vacation.

In fact, I’m over here ordering a few more things to change out nearly all of my home cleaning supplies to healthier options (great prices too).

Enjoy your day! I’m relaxing under an umbrella on the beach in Cabo today.🏖️

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
