Hey There,
On the 8th August, I attended the fourth #Sotonmeetup, organised by my beauts Alice and Amy (Aka @Sotonbloggers) hosted by Revolutions Southampton. Just over a year ago, I turned up to the first event, nervous and a complete newbie, (And now we are blogger besties). These girls put so much hard work and effort in to these events, it is ridiculous,and they are bloody great events.
Not only do I get to catch up with my blogger babes, but I get to meet bloggers I have been following for ages, or newbie bloggers. It is just so nice to chill, and chat to people and be inspired. The day also involved some brands, such as Hairfinity, Espa, and Outcome The Wolves, who all had a little corner of the room. As well as some other brands in the form of cupcakes from Love Cake Bakery, macaroons from Cake Cetera, and my favorite sweet being Judes Ice Cream, (Two words… Salted caramel).

Hairfinity put on a little friendly blogger competition, and gave prizes to those who could do the ‘best’ braid in the ‘fastest’ time blindfolded. It is safe to say, I failed miserably, barely braiding half of it in 22 seconds. If you haven’t heard of Hairfinity, they are a brand who specialise in hair supplements and making your hair all nice.
Espa gave each of us a skincare consultation, providing each of us with a goody bag, dependent on our skin type and needs. Being a Therapist myself, I was excited to hear more about Espa and try the products. So watch this space.
Outcome The Wolves, were my favorite. Not only because they are a local fashion brand but because of their style. I loved the crochet crops, and the Budweiser swimsuit. I could see myself wearing a lot of their items, (I just need the bikini body to go with).
The day finished with a raffle, of some incredible items, including a Benefit hamper, Esqido False Lashes, London Fashion Week tickets, West Quay Vouchers, Beauty treatment vouchers, Oloves hamper, Polaroid cameras and more. All raising an amazing £350 for Epliepsy Society.
And I am not even finished there…. Our goody bag was just as ridiculous, I mean talk about spoilt. Just look at the contents! We had I Love Cosmetics, Bee Good Skincare, Jurlique, St Moriz, Weleda, Chill, and Virtue drinks, (I have probably forgotten a few in there too). I have barely even got started on anything yet.
Once again, a massive thanks to the girls for sorting it all out, and making the day so great. As well as all the brands that got involved, Revolutions for the perfect venue, food and cocktails.
Have you ever been to a blog event? What has been your best experience? What item would you pick out of the goody bag first?
Lots of love,
