Melificent Mentions

So I know I said I would be taking a week-long hiatus, but I couldn’t help but share some of these amazing nods to both myself and the blog. It’s been pretty exciting to see this blog take shape over the past couple of years, and I love having it as my unofficial 2nd job. I’m even more proud of the opportunities that seem to be sprouting all over lately. I can only cross my fingers and hope this string of amazing continues.

Both myself and my girlie outfit for SheCon were featured on Tyra Banks’ beauty and fashion website, Type F. Check out the rest of the slideshow to see other Miami ladies strutting their fashion sense both at the convention and on the streets of Lincoln Road.

I was also published on my first blog outside of Melificent for Ultimate Coupons. I wrote up a post about shopping gluten-free on a budget, which is a topic I am constantly grappling with myself. If you are also anti-wheat, make sure to check it out. Who knows? You may get some pointers! Also, the site has some fabulous ways to cut back on spending without losing style, comfort and fun so make sure to browse around a bit.

Weekend Highlights: SheCon

I was really looking forward to SheCon. Since revamping the blog, I needed some pointers on how to grow my readership and possibly monetize it. So I thought this would be the perfect place to gain some knowledge and network with people in the industry. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed on many fronts.

Before I continue, I want to say that I only attended Friday from 9am until noon-ish. That is when I decided I had enough. Maybe it got better afterwards, but from friends’ accounts I don’t really think it did. With that said, I thought the event was very poorly thought out. Attendance was extremely low (I’d say there were about 60 people at the Guy Kawasaki panel), and the quality of material presented was crap. Aside from Kawasaki (who actually recommended the Bieber movie as a must watch), the speakers seemed really off target and not very knowledgeable or well-rounded. I can honestly say I learned nothing from their presentations, sadly. I don’t want to go into too much detail because I don’t want this to be a slam fest, but suffice it to say that it was a huge let down. Huge.

Thankfully I was able to make the best out of the situation and spend some quality time with friends that I don’t get to see too frequently. So it wasn’t a complete waste of a day. However, I really hope that SheCon is able to take all the feedback and improve upon it for next year because the concept was really great and had the potential to be something pretty special. Here’s hopin’.

Have a great week, everyone, and congratulations on surviving the elusive rapture! 😉
