I survived my first blogging event. I say “survived” because I’m naturally introverted. There’s a reason I blog. I’m much more comfortable writing, rather than speaking. It surprises me how outgoing and social other bloggers are when I meet them. They’re smart, articulate, well spoken, and perhaps most of all, outgoing. I feel awkward and out of place taking such a large step outside my comfort zone. That being said, one of the best parts about this trip for me was meeting and chatting with other bloggers. While my social opportunities were cut a little short due to travel difficulties (I missed the cocktail reception and dinner) and the full itinerary, I very much enjoyed the discussions I had with the people I met. I learned a lot from them and it put the importance of building valuable relationships back on my radar.
The Kenmore Live Studio is a really cool place. Their products are exciting and innovative. I found myself in conversation with the representative for the new Kenmore Elite front loading laundry pair. I surprised myself by asking lots of questions but I really wanted to learn more about their laundry products as I’m in the market for a new set. All the buttons on the front looked really intimidating to me but I was quickly shown how it was actually designed to be used right out of the gate by the average consumer. The representative explained the differences between a front loader and a top loader in a way that I could understand. He was very informative and I could tell that the Kenmore brand strives to be user-friendly, even as they go more high-tech.
While the washer and dryer were at the top of my own list, I was still captivated by the other product demonstrations which left me coveting them. Even though I don’t necessarily need them — I WANT them! For example, I already have a well known name brand stand mixer, but how could I not lust after this beauty?!
I not only love the sleek design and retro vibe but the features as well. The Kenmore Stand Mixer left my mixer in the dust in that department. The lighting in my kitchen is poor so I especially appreciated the fact that this mixer has a built in light. It has a built in timer as well which I think is a brilliant idea. It’s one of those things I didn’t know I needed or wanted until I saw it — that’s Kenmore, bringing you innovations to live up to “Quciker, Easier, Faster”.
I learned so much at the Kenmore Live Studio and this won’t be the last you’re hearing about it from me. I’ve got so many more exciting things to tell you about — more later this week! Until then, check out the Kenmore Live Studio yourself for live streaming videos of product demos from amazing chefs and more.
I received a complimentary trip to Chicago to visit the Kenmore Live Studio, as well as products, however, all opinions expressed are my own. I was not compensated in any other way. See Mommies With Cents disclosure policy for more details.
