Paul Mitchell Neuro Styling Event in Newcastle
So yesterday I was kindly invited to one of the Gary Hedley Salons for the Paul Mitchell Intelligent Styling Event. I haven’t been to an actual even since last year and so far only two blog meets so needless to say, I was excited. I met up with a few other bloggers at the entrance to Eldon Square before we all nervously headed down to the salon, not really knowing what to expect. It was a really intimate event and we were welcomed warmly. Instantly supplied with drinks and offered canapes. There were a few bloggers there I recognised but we were surrounded by stylists and models so it was…

Bloggers Teaspoon Social in Aid of Lupus
On Saturday I attended my second blogger event in recent months and it was a good one! Hosted by the lovely Rachel of Happy Little Syllables & Becca of The Polka Dot Notebook in aid of Lupus, the Bloggers Teaspoon was a truly delightful afternoon tea party and I feel so happy to have attended and help raise money. It was held in one of my old haunts from my time spent living in Newcastle, The Salsa Cafe, my ex and I spent plenty of evenings in there before or after the cinema, so it was nice to return. We were treated to tea by Teapigs, cakes, nibbles, chatting and…

The Great British Cupcakery Launch Night
Last week I was invited by the really lovely Sarah to a cupcakery launch night in Newcastle. I had only met her once back in April at The Body Shop event but we’d hit it off so I jumped at the chance. My mum agreed to have Little Miss to give me a night off to drink cocktails, eat cake and hang out with some girls my own age instead of being sat at home with a bottle of cider watching Revolution with my parents. The cupcakery in question is The Great British Cupcakery – Bakehouse & Parlour which is situated on Queens Street down by the Quayside in Newcastle.…

North East Lush Event
As I’ve mentioned time and time again, Lush is one of my favourite brands for when it comes to bath products. I bought my first ever bath ballistic when I was 17, so for any of you interested, that is now 8 years ago! It was the infamous Fairy Jasmine (if you’re a fan of Ross Noble, you’ll know exactly why I’ve called in infamous!) Ever since, I’ve been hooked on their bath products and I always have a decent size supply stashed away. ANYWAY.. as soon as I heard there was going to be an event held at the Metro Centre branch of Lush, organised by Danny of Adventures…

North East Body Shop Event
As I mentioned on my Weekly Wardrobe post, on Friday I attended a Body Shop event held in Newcastle and hosted by Maddie. Despite having severe train trouble (the train sat on the platform for an HOUR before departing due to a thunderstorm knocking out the lines) I arrived only 10 minutes late and even then it didn’t start straight away giving me time to meet up with some lovely bloggers i’d previously met at the Benefit Fake Up event or I regular chat to on twitter. I was especially pleased to see Louise of Confetti Letters, Chloe of Chloe Witty and Tasha of Hello Freckles. We were all greeted…

Nottingham Bloggers Meet – The Day, Meal & The Infamous Goody Bags
This is the first of three posts about the Nottingham Blogger Meet that I attended on Saturday 13th April. I’m going to do a second one for my shopping haul (weeks of saving paid off!) and one for the Kiehls visit. It was a fantastic experience, my first ever blogger meet (although since blogging I have met quite a few bloggers through events and through chatting on twitter) so much fun! I feel incredibly lucky that I heard about it and managed to go along because I was in the area. My shoulders and feet still hurt from all the shopping, not to mention how tired I am despite the…
