Calling All 40+ Fashion and Lifestyle Bloggers!
Christmas hasn’t even been over 24 hours and you’re exhausted. We’re all exhausted. December is a sprint-to-the-finish kind of month. What we all need at the end of it is something warm, something relaxing, something that will rejuvenate the senses and get us back in the game.
Enter Winter in the Desert, a 40+ blogger meet-up I’m hosting this February 10-12 in Phoenix, Arizona! If you’re a fashion or lifestyle blogger, you’re invited!
The plan is a weekend that combines unique experiences, relaxation, and bonding time with friends and colleagues. You’re welcome to participate in the activities as much or as little as you like. The goal at the end of the meet-up is for everyone to feel refreshed, supported, and energized for the new year.
To make proper plans, I need to know how many to expect, so let’s see a show of hands. If you are a 40+ fashion or lifestyle blogger and you are interested in attending, please comment below by January 10th. You can also drop me a line via my About page or through my Facebook page. Please be sure to contact me by January 10th and include your name and blog “handle” in your correspondence. Once I have a general headcount, I can provide hotel ideas and put together a schedule.
Oooh wish I could come to this. Sounds fabulous but a weekend from the UK would be a little bit too much. I just know you’ll all have such a wonderful time and I say live vicariously through all the photos!

Yay, Zuma! I’m excited you’re joining us! I just sent you an email with lots of good info in it. Let me know if you have any questions!
I just booked my flight!!
I do feel a bit awkward but very excited!!
I have a good friend who recently moved to the Phoenix area that I will also visit while I’m there!
Thank you so much for extending the invitation (and the rules) Shelly!!
Hi Sherry,
I’ve only been following your blog for a brief amount of time and I’m not a blogger myself. I have joined Jodie Filogamo on a few of her posts over the past several months but a picture here and there on someone else’s blog does not a blogger make…
I’m wondering if it would be entirely against the etiquette of blogging for me to crash your upcoming meetup? I’d really love to meet some of the bloggers I follow…
Marilee Gramith
Are you The Jude (Marilee) who contributed one-of-a-kind shoes and jeans to Jodie’s blog???? If so, I’d say you count as a contributor to the community at large. I’d say, Come on down! I’d love to meet you!!
– Sherry
I am in fact that Jude. Jodie has been so very kind to expand her family of amazing women to include me. I did thoroughly enjoy gifting Jodie with a couple of my DIY projects. Again she was so sweet to include them in her posts! I then named myself her “blogett” and we’ve become friends!
How nice of you to make me feel welcome Sherry! I’ll let you know if I can make it for sure , within the next couple of days.
Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly!
Hi Sherry! I am a definite YES! I love the schedule so far & looks like you will be covering so much & there will be something for everyone! I love the round-table/form/discussion for myself. I would love to learn how to take our specific blogs to the next level, how to monetize, layouts, etc. would be great! Maybe have a hat with questions & we all try to educate each other. This is going to be fabulous! I also love the Clothing Swap!!!!
YAY!! I’m so excited, Diane!! I’m going to send an email out sometime this week with a few more details so you can get planning, if you like. Stay tuned to your inbox! More soon! ❤️
I wish, I wish, I wish xoxo
Me too, Me too! 😘💕
Like I said on insta I wish I could fly there. will share this out for you Sherry. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and I send my best wishes for new year xx

Thank you for sharing the info, Laurie! Hubby and I have the UK on our travel list for either this year or next, so maybe we can have our own little meet-up then. I’d love to meet you and give you a big hug for all your support and kindness. Here’s hoping you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2017 surrounds you with love, joy, and success!
Hugs,
Sherry
Bummer, bummer & more bummer….but we’re going to try to make the next one!!

I’m sorry the timing on this one isn’t the best, but there will be others! Plus, we’ll have our own mini-meetup the following weekend! 😃
Oh how I wished I could be there too and meet all of you! Just come to the Netherlands all!😂😂😂
It would be so fun to go to the Netherlands and meet you, Nancy! I’m overdue for a visit. I haven’t been there in 26 years! 😃
Great idea! 👋🏼 Add me to the list.

Fantastic, Rena!! You have been added! I hope to meet you in February!
– Sherry
Sounds fantastic! I’m going to seriously see if I can make this work!
Andrea, that would be great! It would be great to meet you!
– Sherry
Unfortunately, I just realized that that’s the weekend of SF Beerweek this year (last year it was the beginning of February, so I didn’t realize it right away). My husband is a beer writer, so, unfortunately, I won’t be able to sneak away and leave him with the 9-year old… I would have loved to meet you! Some other time!
Hi Andrea! I completely understand the tug and pull of life. Hopefully we’ll meet another time! I sent you an email so we can stay connected without blogs in between. 🙂 Happy New Year!
If Suzanne is going, you’re gonna have fun!
So true, Shybiker! She’s the best!
I’m coming and I’m PUMPED!!! It is going to be a blast : )
bisous
