The Body Shop Bloggers Event. Nottingham

Thursday 31 August 2017

Hi everyone

On Tuesday 29th August at 6:15 pm The Body Shop (Bridlesmith Gate store) held their first bloggers evening.

I really love The Body Shop because of the ethically sourced ingredients and they use their influence in the beauty industry to change the world for the better. An example of this is at the moment they are campaigning to ban animal testing all over the world. I love when beauty brands use their power to change the world for the better. I've signed the petition online. You can too by signing the petition here.
I switched to cruelty-free beauty in April 2016 and it's been the best decision I've ever made. Click here to read my blog post about why I decided to make this change. I enjoy being conscious about what I buy because money is an influence. I think that what I am putting my money towards is funding the cruelty-free beauty brands who can grow and continue to do more good work.
We were welcomed by the Body Shop staff with a fizzy summer fruits drink. The cups which they were served in had different coloured stars underneath. If you had a coloured star then you won a prize and unfortunately, I didn't win. Better luck next time :)
We got 40% off for this night only. I treated myself to 2 products which were the Mango travel size shower gel £2.00 and a eyeshadow in the shade 205 SIENNA DUST £5.
It's a beautiful nude beige shimmery shade. Perfect for the autumn season which is approaching us.
With my purchases I got given samples to try. 
- Oils Of Life Night Cream
- Oils Of Life Facial Oil
- Japanese Matcha Green Tea Facemask
- Amazonian Acai Facemask
- Drops Of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask
I'm excited to try the Japanese Matcha Tea facemask as I've seen it plastered around social media. I'll be sure to let you know my thoughts on all of the samples either on my blog or Instagram story.

Notts Tweet Up

Thursday 3 August 2017

In my 5 problems with social media blog post a few months ago I discussed the negative side of social media. One of the problems being social isolation.
NottsTweetUp is a perfection solution. It's a profile on Twitter which invites local tweeters to a different venue every month to meet in person. It's a great way to socialise and meet people behind their social media profiles.
It's informal and free to attend. It's organised by @adamhayes900 and @deborahstar.
If you are from Nottingham and are self-employed, run a business/charity, work in social media, digital marketing, blogger, vlogger etc. This event is perfect to network and socialise. A chalkboard is provided to write your twitter handle on. Everyone will follow and support each other. This meeting is not about the size of your audience but it's about sharing your passion and networking with other people .
I think that it's incredibly easy in today's society to stay in the comfort your own home and do everything online from your computer. But personally, this isn't how I want to live my life. I'm a outgoing introvert so I like a balance of relaxing at home and going out.
Why not join us at the next meet up? Keep an eye on NottsTweetUp's Twitter for the next date and venue.
I attended my first Notts Tweet Up #TacoTweetUp on the 28th July at Revolution De Cuba. We were provided with free tacos and vedett beer. I'd like to thank Adam for inviting me.
Watch the short vlog below of when I attended my first Notts Tweet Up #TacoTweetUp and went to the Mojo's launch party.
Enjoy!:)
