#OMBFavoriteThings2017
Our sparkling party took place on the Sun Trust Terrace at the Orlando Science Center with decor of black and gold glitter. It was the perfect setting for a much needed moms night out, and a great opportunity to get to know the other Orlando Moms Blog contributors. Even though I have been writing for them for the better part of the year I have only met a handful at events.

We dined on a buffet of small bites and desserts under the twinkly lights. Our bar was stocked with Jack and Ginger, Tito Vodka White Cosmos, B4, and Champagne Jello Shots topped with gold glitter. I have been seriously dreaming of this avocado toast and trying to recreate it to no avail! I would love to see what a wedding would look like out on the Terrace. Someone needs to get married and invite me!

After some dining and drinks we found our seats and prepared to be showered with goodies. I was clueless as to what we were going to get, but I knew it was going to be amazing. Kristi (our fearless leader) did not disappoint! We each got a bag of goodies worth over $500!! And let me tell you, we absolutely hit a few of my favorite things!
These are a few of my favorite things…

B4
First up was B4, the drink you drink before going out drinking. This lightly carbonated, non caffeinated drink is loaded with goodness to help shield your body from the hangover part of a night out. Sounds like an excellent plan for to me!

Coogies
We all know I love to bake (example A), but I don’t usually try to go gluten-free or avoid using other allergens. Thankfully Coogies Bake Mix is giving me an easy way to try baking this way…with added veggies! These will be perfectly safe for school snack when things like peanut butter aren’t allowed.

BubbleBum
I squealed so loud when Kristi introduced BubbleBum as a sponsor. I have looked into these booster seats for my kids, but had yet to pull the trigger. They are quickly inflatable and when deflated they are small enough to fit in your purse or backpack. Excellent for a trip to grandma’s house!

LuLaRoe (w/ Gabby Paris)
I was resistant to all of the Facebook parties and praise from friends about these leggings, but now that I own a pair myself I am IN LOVE and literally never want to take them off. With a size range of 0 to 26 they are literally for everyone and there is a style for all occasions. Get you some!

AllieBead Creations
I love small businesses and any chance I can find to support them I do. This one excited me so much! I have been wanting to get my daughter a gumball necklace for ages…I even toyed around with making one (what?!) and now I have the perfect one within my grasp! AllieBead’s made 2 match bracelets and necklaces are so fun and creative.

Kallie & Co
This jewelry company not only makes cruelty-free products, but they give back to various charities in support of women like the Orlando Dream Center and Military Women in Need. They don’t sacrifice style to achieve their goal, either. I love infinities and the bracelet I got is filled with them.

Hard Exercise Works
I have watched Crossfitters from afar for years and now I get a chance to try it for myself thanks to Hard Exercise Works! They gave all of us Orlando Moms a 5 week bootcamp to get addicted to the crossfit lifestyle. Hopefully soon I will be looking much more svelte!

Erin Condren
I literally screamed with excitement with this reveal. I hugged the beautiful box as soon as it was handed to me. Inside there was a deluxe monthly planner with a fantastic black and gold cover/gold coil and a designer sticker book. BOTH are things that I had wanted. I still haven’t figured out what I’m going to use it for…I’m sure there will be a blog post about that soon.
