Sunny San Diego recap [Day 2 part 1]

2 Comments

Day 2 we started off by visiting the Expo again.

There was a Mr. Potato Head challenge, we had to re-create the look of what the booth-lady was doing in so many seconds, and we’d win a prize. I lost. lol.

There was a Febreeze “experiment” where we had to sign waivers, and enter a room blindfolded. I thought we were going to get sprayed by Febreeze. I feel drunk when I’m blind folded, all stumbly.

But no, we were actually being FILMED. If you’re a friend on my facebook, you can see the video there. It won’t let me embed the video here, and since my computer is broke I can’t upload it for you guys to see.

We headed upstairs to go to some of the seminars, where I also bumped into Kristin from Iowa Girl Eats! I didn’t have my camera on me, but it was so nice to finally get to meet her after reading her blog for a few years. I love it when people are just what you expected / and how they appear on their blog. So fun!

The photo below was taken on the roof top of the Marriott Convention Centre. Pretty, huh?

Hershey’s had a wonderful room set up like a campfire. I made my very first smore ever. It kinda tasted like a cookie. I think smores are more of a central/western thing. I’ve never made them while living in Newfoundland before.Shannon and I making smores. Cute little fire pit going on for our marshmallows.

Twizzlers had three monuments made completely out of twizzlers. This tower thing, a Statue of Liberty, and the Golden Gate bridge. So fun!

Time for a pee break at Charmin!I think Kudos booth hired some models. Check out the Ken-barbie doll model like men. Hawties!Can you spot my business “card”? Here’s a hint: it’s a button ;)

I liked handing out my business card/button to people because everyone I gave it to, stared at it a bit longer than they would’ve a normal business card. I think it was a neat move on my part, but I would’ve probably also liked to bring business cards to put in door prize draws. I’m not sure who’s going to be picking up buttons for giveaways.

Anyway, stay tuned for part two of day two later!

I’m starting to peel like a mofo. I’m not wearing a tank top for days. Exfoliating isn’t helping.

I’m not posting any before photos from when I was tomato red, since I’m embarrassed that I let myself get burnt. But let me tell you there was a jaw dropping difference between my unexposed skin, to the burnt parts. Completely shockingly noticeable on my belly. Basically exactly like the photo shown in Stephanie’s blog post. I know :(

I took this photo of me at work last week and I’m finally feeling better after the weekend. Check out the tan line difference and my whiteness showing through. Brutal hey? What’s worse is that my entire front side is brown now, but my entire back side of me is pasty white still. So when I wear shorts, you can definitely notice a difference where my legs are tan on the front and white in the back. At least they look pretty from the front, right? lol

Thankfully I’ve purchased some self-tanner. As soon as my skin doesn’t look like a snake, that self-tanner is going to be my BFF. Almost like having promise ring etiquette. Except not.

Writing a blog entry on an iPad is difficult. I suppose I could use my 5 year old laptop that always flicks to the year 1998 when I turn it on, but it takes too long for me to be patient enough to use it. My computer here at home is broke. But it won’t stop me from my addiction blogging.

As I posted last week I just got back from San Diego and now we’re going on another trip soon to Ironman Canada. I have a ton of posts lined still from my San Diego recaps (see part one, and part two in case you missed them) so I’ll be pumping out those posts all week.

Don’t forget to enter the Glymm Box giveway for September. It ends on Friday and of course available only to us lucky Canadians.

I’m off to CrossFit now tonight. Wish me some much needed strength — haven’t been there since July! I kinda just want to stay home and eat garlic bread on lake cottage furniture. I’ve been vacationing, and babying my sunburn that I got so it’s been a while. Death by pullups tonight! :)
