Exeter Meetup - #southwestbloggersmeet

A good week or so ago now I ventured from Yeovil to Exeter on the train for the #southwestbloggersmeet. Hosted by Kerry and Liza, the event promised to be a fabulous mix of cocktails, chatter, and fun with the added excitement of a brilliant raffle and exciting pink goody bags. The Exeter meet was the third event I've been to thanks to my little blog here, the first two being the opening of TKMaxx in Newcastle centre, and the launch for Benefit's FakeUp at Fenwicks in Newcastle. I loved that I would have the opportunity to go to a blogging event run by bloggers, for bloggers when I could just mingle, chat and meet some new faces. Stepping off the train to police in full riot gear started the day off quite weirdly so I hurried away to mooch about in Jack Wills, Paperchase and Urban Outfitters before making my way to John Gandy's where the event was being held.

Mmm, cocktails! 

Raffle prizes.

I had an amazing time at the event, meeting many new people and finally being glad to put names to blogs and get to know the real girls behind the words they write. I indulged in a few cocktails, bought a strip of raffle tickets and walked away with some gorgeous Neal & Wolf haircare products, had a hand and arm massage from the girls at Lush, and tried out some teeth whitening products courtesy of Pearlys.

How amazing are all these goodies!?

All in all, it was a brilliant afternoon, thank-you so much to Kerry and Liza for organising it. I absolutely loved meeting so many people who love to blog in the south west! See you all at the next event, whenever and wherever that may be!
