#NORWICHMEET EVENT AT THE BIRDCAGE

So a week ago I was slumped on a train on the way to a ballet exam as I reflected on the night before, the Norwich Meet event held at the lovely Birdcage! This is the first event I organised with 3 other lovely ladies, Courteney, Justine and Siobhan. We had been organising this for months, unsure of what we really needed to do, and unsure on the outcome! We were lucky to have some amazing brands getting involved such as Neal and Wolf (a personal favourite of mine!), Paul Mitchell, Fake Bake, Neal's Yard, Benefit and so many more which will feature in this blog post! On the day, me, Courteney and Justine hunted down all the raffle prizes, sorted the goody bags (They took forever!) and decked out the venue. We had three lovely people bring their products - Georgia from Speckled Hen Vintage who had gorgeous clothes and accessories, the beautiful Joni from Jackie Hamilton and The River Kitchen who were lovely, and provided the msot delicious cupcakes and goodies. Oreo and White Chocolate fudge?! How could I resist?!

We had some inspirational bloggers come to the event which I am so thrilled for! It was so nice to finally put pictures from twitter to real life people, and it's always a pleasure to meet fellow bloggers and talk about what we love to do. Bloggers all have an amazing ability to listen and be inspired, so it's always great to hear what they blog about. Not only did we have brands and bloggers come, we had some amazing musicians. I was so lucky to get a chance to sing at the Birdcage as it's one of my favourite venues!

We had an incredible goody bag full of amazing stuff! I'll do a full goody bag review this weekend as I definetely have an exam and audition this week... Waa! We had Lisa Angel, Wild About Beauty, Drinkwel, Body shop, No 7 and loads more little bits in there! Even a £10 voucher for Coast to Coast which is always a winner for me!

We also had an amazingly generous raffle too to raise money for Woman's Aid. We had Philip Browne who gave us a tshirt, aftershave and a very expensive Fred Perry Wallet, Bodhi and Birch who gave us a £38 gift set, Neal's Yard gave us a bunch of their amazing products, Body Shop also gave us a gift box, Sin Sins gave us vouchers as well as Nova Silver who gave us a gorgeous necklace. There was many more brands in there which we were grateful for, as we raised an amazing £90!
We hope everyone that attended had a great evening, and we are already in talks of a possible event in the hot summer months! I will do an indepth review soon of the bag and any other goodies I received, so keep checking for that! If you're in the Norwich area and didn't get a chance to come to the event, follow me and tweet me so I sure follow back, and we can see what we can do in future events!

Thanks to all the people who got involved and made it a success!

Thank you to all who came!
