This year at Natural Products Expo West, newhope360.com and DeliciousLiving.com are launching an exciting new program: a select team of 12 bloggers we’re calling the We.Blog Editorial Board. (Look for them on the show floor wearing a button with the above logo!)
We put out a call for savvy bloggers who’d be attending Expo West and were interested in combining forces to cover this behemoth event. We’re thrilled with the response we got, and it was tough to narrow it down to this impressive dozen. These natural-lifestyle enthusiasts will be posting about the products, speakers and other events at the show. Look for their posts on NewHope360.com and DeliciousLiving.com, as well as through their own sites, Facebook pages, and Twitter feeds. We’re excited to see what they find and learn!
