I’ve been very fortunate to have been invited/attended my
fair share of blogging events over the years so I like to think I have a pretty
good knowledge of what makes a good event, I hope! I’m very lucky to be able to
work in marketing and I get to work with some lovely brands and bloggers and so
I thought why not join the two together?
The Body Shop are a great brand to work with and are
incredibly supportive of us bloggers and the ladies at the Coppergate ShoppingCentre in York are lovely too and keen to do events, so it made perfect sense
for my first event to be here to celebrate the launch of their new Spa Of The
World range. I set about finding beauty bloggers who might be interested in
coming along. From living in Leeds for 5 years, and even Nottingham now, I know
that blogging events ‘up norf’ are few and far between so it was really important
to me to include local bloggers. I had 10 girls come along to the event and
spend a couple of hours in the store leaning about the new collection, skincare
and make up. It was so informative and I learnt a lot myself, it was nice to attend
the event as a blogger too!
We had fizz with raspberries, orange juice, bagels from
Bagel Nash across the road (They do catering if anyone is interested), sweeties,
chocolate fingers and of course no blogging event is complete without some
cupcakes. They were from Love Rouge Bakery, so if you're ever in York you need to pay her a visit as they were awesome!
So anyway, on to the collection...
As I’m sure you’ve already worked out, this collection is
all about products from around the world, and we visit Morocco, Egypt and
Japan. The range includes bath milk,
creams, massage oils and exfoliants. There are even a couple of tools to help
with your spa experience too! My personal favourites are the Morccoan Rhassoul Clay and the Dead Sea Salt scrub. The massage oils are lovely too, we were really fortunate
to try the collection first hand with a yummy hand massage which left me
feeling relaxed and wanting to buy the whole lot! Each product has a very
unique scent which (not surprisingly) reminds you of being in a spa. I could
even smell the products in my car the next day!
I’m a big fan of The Body Shop anyway, but this collection is just something else. I feel it gives them
another voice and caters to a whole new market. I really hope they keep up with
their Spa collection and bring out another set of new products in the range.
I had such a great evening
and I hope everyone else did too! A big thank you to Michelle, Angela
and all the other lovely staff members at The Body Shop Coppergate Centre for
being wonderfully generous hosts and to the lovely bloggers Laura, Sharon, Kate, Rachel, Donna, Jessica,
Lucy, Charlotte and Rebecca who came to the CoppergateSpaOfTheWorld
event!
I'm so impressed with this collection! I tried out the Himalayan body clay and the African Ximenia scrub and they were incredible

My first ever job was at The Body Shop (and in fact I worked in this branch during my first year at university!) and it's still a brand I always go back to. Will definitely be looking into this range, I need some relaxation in my life!

The event was so much fun and really informative, I really enjoyed being a part of it. The collection is just divine, as quite a newbie to The Body Shop (I know, where have I been?!) it's set the bar high. Thanks for inviting me to such a wonderful evening! And well-done you!

There are many vape brands on the market today, but it is important to know that not all of them are created equal. The best way to find out lost mary vape is to research reviews online or ask other vapers about their experiences with the brand they prefer.
