Getting Excited About my Girls’ Trip to BlogHer!

It won’t be long until I leave my family behind for a girls’ trip to Orlando to attend the BlogHer ’17 conference. I’m picking up my best blogging friend, Lisa, on the way and then we are off for 3 nights and days of learning and fun. We have so much fun when we are together chatting about our blogs.

I’ve wanted to attend BlogHer since I started blogging in 2011. I’ve always come up with excuses not to attend so you can imagine how happy I was when I found out that BlogHer 2017 is only 3 hours away from my house. The only excuse I had this time was pregnancy. The last conference I attending while pregnant was awful because I was sick the entire time. I was still in the early stages of pregnancy and was suffering big time from morning sickness. I didn’t even get to attend any of the socialization events. This conference is going to be different for several reasons: 1. I’m no longer experiencing morning sickness because I’m past that stage, thankfully, and 2. I’ve got Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals for when I do experience travel induced motion sickness.  I’ve already included Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals in my packing list.

Since Lisa and I plan to take advantage of everything that Orlando has to offer (we are both big fans of Orlando), I am going to be prepared with Dramamine®. Their Non-Drowsy Naturals product is the first non-drowsy solution for motion sickness from Dramamine®, the leading brand for motion sickness. This means I can experience the tea cups ride at Disney World as much as I want without feeling gross. It also means I don’t have to worry about getting sick in the car if I look at my phone. Does that happen to anyone else? I seriously can’t do anything in the car other than look out the window; otherwise I’ll get super nauseous. I hate dealing with carsickness! I’m so happy to have a motion sickness option even when I’m pregnant. My OB gave me the go-ahead on all Dramamine® products, but was even happier to approve the Non-Drowsy Naturals. One dose contains the full clinically tested ginger dosage for the prevention and treatment of motion sickness. Since it’s made from natural ginger, Dramamine® Non-Drowsy Naturals is safe to use every day you travel! (Note: if pregnant or breastfeeding, first consult a doctor or physician.)

    I have taken Dramamine before to help with motion sickness. I also try a fizzy drink, closing my eyes, and concentrating on something in the distance.

    The BlogHer conferences sound like they would be a lot of fun to attend. Since it’s being held in Orlando, there should be lots to do outside of the conference, as well. I won’t be going, however. Hope you all have a good time at the event.
