Another successful Carolina Bloggin? has come and gone. This year, Teowonna Clifton of That Teowonna asked me to be a part of the planning committee and I was more than happy to help! I feel this year was even better than last year?s! Can?t wait for the next one (You hear me, Teowonna?). Unfortunately I didn?t get many pictures as I was ?working? but I am still going to give my recap:
1.Food: Gervais and Vine was absolutely great! Hospitality, food, attentiveness, willing to help?.A+ across the board! Unfortunately, I didn?t get to try the main courses, shrimp and grits, pulled pork, and chicken skewers (As Teowonna says, ?She?s a NON-MEAT eater.? I would have indulged in the shrimp and grits but it had bacon?no bueno for me.), I did take some leftovers home to my husband and son and they loved it. I did make up for what I couldn?t have with their assortment of appetizers: hummus and pita bread, cheese assortments (one that had smoked salmon and capers in it?yum!), olives, fried artichoke?.Oh, the artichoke! So YUM! For desserts: mini ?clairs. Great because you can just pop them in your mouth. Bad because?.you can just pop them in your mouth. ?CLAIR OVERLOAD
2. Speakers: Alphonse FM shared tips on podcasting. These are the ones that stuck out to me: you may not be as entertaining as you think, don?t be cheap?.invest in good equipment, stay consistent.
Mr. Goodwill Hunting: This man is amazing! Everyone said they felt like they were taken to church! Things that stood out: Be yourself, don?t try to do what other bloggers are doing, and don?t attempt to be famous.
Brad Warthen: His topic was blogging as a compulsion. His blog is a political blog and I remember he stated he is not Team Republican or Team Democrat. Which I feel is important with a political blog because you want to get both points across without swaying the reader. His style of writing may also be due to him being a journalist (he used to work for The State Newspaper).
All the speakers had different topics but one thing stayed the same: Have a passion for blogging.
3.Carolina Bloggies: This year the Carolina Bloggies were added to the luncheon. They were hosted by Ebony Looney of Maker Me Over, Eb, and Chip Oglesby of his self-titled blog, Chip Oglesby
The big winners were Pee Dee Foodie. They won Blogger of the Year. Along with Best Foodie Blog.

Mr. Goodwill Hunting
Looks like it was awesome! I had to pick and choose what I could do Saturday so I wasn't able to make it out. Thanks for posting this recap for those of us who didn't make it!
Next year huh… I hear you!

So sorry that I missed it. There was so much going on here that it was impossible to make it. I hope to organize and plan better next year. Thank you for sharing the post on it. Great stuff!!
Fortunately, with right ringing in the ear treatment, you could reduce
these suffering substantially. Reducing your
salt intake has been found to be helpful in stopping vertigo, Meniere's disease, and migraines, along with a regimen of vitamins, minerals, and fish oils. This helps in reducing noise levels and is one among the preventive measures taken against tinnitus.
