Florida Blogger Event (Lots of pics!)

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw me tweeting pretty often in November and the first couple of weeks in December about the blogger event I was planning.  I reached out to Anna (she’s amazing!), the front desk manager or Soleil Spa Palm Aire, a local spa in Pompano Beach, to see if she would be interested in partnering to plan a South Florida beauty/fashion blogger event.  She was completely on board, so I got to planning!

I reached out to a handful of companies to try and find sponsors and vendors for food, goodie bags product, and giveaways.  I was able to secure some amazing sponsors including:
Sweet Tomatoes for all of the event food, Zoya Nail Polish donated bottles of their holiday-esque polish Sarah for every goodie bag, as well as some of their amazing new Collection Samplers to raffle off, NYS Collections Sunglasses donated some super cute sunglasses to raffle off, Adriana Marie Co. donated a variety of t-shirts for all of the guests, Island Company donated travel sized bottles of their sun care products for all of the guests, Cilea gave donated 3 of their Lash Enhancing Treatment serums to raffle off, and provided $20 off coupons for all guests.

Anna from Soleil Spa also put together goodie bags with salt scrubs and bath salts from the spa, and we offered $10 mini facials and massages by the spa’s therapists and aestheticians.  Anna  also had the genius idea of putting a different scented candle in each goodie bag, so for the raffle, instead of putting everyone’s names in the jar, we put slips of paper with each scent written on them, and whichever scent we chose, the person with that corresponding scented candle would win the prize!

Here are some snapshots of how the event went:
