Mundane Mondays, Vol. XI: Recent Blogger/Indie Brand Meet Ups

Monday, July 8, 2013

So recently I was really lucky to find out that a lot of other bloggers and indie brands lived up in the NorCal ~ Greater Sacramento and Bay areas so I attended a meet up and a nail party.

First, I met up with my girls @polishedbytiff, @laquerdetox, @feliifel of the brand Nail Sauce, @polishtbh of PolishTBH, @lovelylacquer of Lovely Lacquer. We had a potluck picnic in the park. At first it was lovely in the shade but it turned boiling hot pretty fast!

I made pavlova but it um... had a rough ride.

We tried to do a sort of 4th of July theme for the meet up.

Polished by KPT also had a one year anniversary party! Neat, right? It was hosted at Ecomonster in San Jose.

Yummy treats!

A DIY scrub making station. I made mine with great ingredients: raw brown sugar, avocado oil, olive oil, vitamin e, citrus scent.

We also had the opportunity to make rings! Mine is still drying (I put a TON of glitter) so I thought I'd show you Christian's creation (@polishtbh). She has Polished by KPT Color Therapy over Flourescein.

Personalized gift boxes? How awesome is that? I felt so bad opening it because the packaging was so nicely done.

It was so great to finally meet Katherine of Polished by KPT, it felt like seeing an old friend not meeting a new person! I met Rylee of Wicked Polish there too (who is as awesome as her polish, so AMAZING!).

Here's a crappy cell phone pic, but recognize those fingers on that tablet display?

Hopefully you all also had a great weekend! Have you every done any meetups with bloggers, brands etc? I hadn't really met too many people in the nail and makeup community until now. I just confirmed that I'll be going to CosmoProf North America as a member of the press, so I'm quite excited to meet even more bloggers!
