I’ve never attended as many parties as I do now, now that I’m 30 with 3 kids! I am not sure if I just never got invited to blogger parties until 5 months ago or they didn’t have so many until recently, but I’ve been going to one every two weeks on average! Some are on the same night so I go to two in one day, but it averages out to one event every 2-3 weeks. In the beginning, I found these blogger parties super awkward but now that I’ve made some friends, I really enjoy going to these parties.
The first party I went was at the grand opening of Uptown Cheapskate in Sugar House, where we got $50 giftcards to shop(I dislike when other people are vague about what they receive at these blogger parties, so I’ll just be very open :). We also got a swag bag with a headband, socks, and bra tubelet(?)).
I ended up getting these two purchases above, a J.Crew anchor dress and a black maxi dress from Anthropologie.
then on the same night, I went to a blogger’s event at Nordstrom’s in City Creek, They talked for an hour about their new line of make-up and what not, and had cupcakes. We each received a swag bag that had about 7 little sample sizes of makeup.
A couple weeks later, I went to the grand opening of the new Sage boutique, where we all received $50giftcardtoshop. Theyhaddelicioushors d’oeuvre and I tasted the best sparkling cider which was from Trader Joe’s! Sandy
always lets me steal her baby for the whole event so I got to hold this little beautiful newborn and I was in
heaven. I also forgot to bring my makeup bag(I always put makeup in the car in a parking lot before I
enter the party, because I barely have any time to get ready with 3 kids. But since I’m trying the no
makeup more often, I felt comfortable!
I went to Flip Flop Shop blogger event and got to meet sweet bloggers again! They provided $60 giftcards for us and I grabbed a pair of black slippers for me and my husband. We ate and talked and the owners and the employees were all so friendly. I also stole this beauty and held her the whole night from Sandy.
favorite auntie, right here!
And last but not least, I went to Trolley Square in SLC for some dinner at the Spaghetti Factory & we each received a $200 visa card to shop at any of the stores! I went to Pottery Barn first, but then I wanted everything at the store and got so overwhelmed, I had to walk out and go to another store. 🙂

Thank you to all these awesome companies for throwing such fun parties for us moms/women! As a stay home mom, my job is not glamorous by any means which I actually love and find very humbling, so when I go these parties, I feel somewhat glamorous and fancy! And what girl doesn’t love feeling that once in awhile. 😉
This sounds and looks amazing! So glad you had a really nice time too. x x
