South West Bloggers Meet - Exeter - 2013

Yesterday more than 30 girls from across the South West hot footed it to Exeter for the South West Bloggers Meet.

The event was organised by Liza and Kerry, so firstly I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to both these girls for hosting a great event.

I drove down with Liza and Zoe who also live in North Devon and hauled massive amounts of pink goodie bags down the high street for the event which was held in John Gandys. 

We took over the top bar and cocktails were on offer all day which was brilliant. The Exeter Lush team and Pearlys Ltd  were there doing demonstrations. 

There were some brilliant raffle prizes, I was lucky enough to win two gorgeous pieces of jewellery. There will be a separate blog post about those. All money raised from the sale of raffle tickets will go to charity.

Everyone who attended the event was also given a goodie bag stuffed with products, again I will be doing a separate post on what we were given.

It was brilliant to meet so many bloggers from the South West. It was brilliant  to have an event people in the south could easily get to. So many blogging events take place in larger cities which are hard for us country folk to reach.

Have you ever been to a blogging meet up? 

Blogger's Event in Lush, Exeter

Yesterday I attended my first blogger meetup. This one was organised by Jess over at  Mismatched Knitwear and was held at Lush in Exeter, Devon. So many blogger events in the south seem to be held in Bristol, so it was great to have an event which is relatively close to home.

The final picture is the goodie bag the Lush team gave to each of us.

I drove to the event and went with the lovely Liza from Glambeautys and Zoe from ZoeGeorgina Beauty and Fashion.

There was a small group of bloggers at the event which was nice, everyone was able to chat to each other. The staff welcomed us with drinks and we were able to browse all the products on offer.

We watched demonstrations and got to try as many things as we wanted. We also got a sneak peak of some of the products Lush are bringing out for Christmas.

This was my first bloggers event and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The girls I met were friendly and welcoming, the staff at Lush were brilliant with us  which made the event even more memorable.
