As some of you might know already, Nadja and I are the girls behind Blogging Owls on Twitter. The aim of Blogging Owls is to organise exciting events/meetups and bring bloggers together as well as introducing bloggers to some amazing brands (our favourites!). In addition, we also tweet out blogger opportunities! 馃檪
This Saturday, we organised
Bloggers Christmas Party (
#BloggersXmasParty) through
Blogging Owls, which I must admit to myself was a great success! We had an awesome venue (although the lighting wasn’t as good as expected), amazing company, delicious food and drinks, and a great line up of brands for the twitter raffle and blogger’s Pick n’ Mix bar!

The event took place this Saturday, 6th December at
Nordic Bar. The venue itself is super cool with some awesome Christmas decorations! We were also super happy with the drinks because you can get a bottle of house wine, which tasted delicious for 拢10 and 2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour. It’s definitely the ideal place to host a Christmas party, but it’s not the best place for a press event or product launch show as we had some problems with the lighting and the ping pong table, which is one of
Nordic Bar’s major attractions. Nonetheless, some of us did end up posing for a Ping Pong photo! 馃槢

We had a private area for ourselves at the venue, but there were some people (mainly guys), who kept popping in, pretending that they were bloggers! Apparently they blogged about “people,” whatever that means! As mentioned before, the lighting wasn’t amazing, so some of these photos are in flash and some are not… so sorry about that! 馃檨
Of course, we also had AMAZING company! Despite being the coldest day this year, around 30 bloggers showed up to our event, so we were really pleased by that! It was so nice catching up with some of the bloggers from
Bloggers Tea Party as well as meeting some new faces!
I know this sounds cheesy, but seeing so many bloggers enjoying themselves at Bloggers Christmas Party really puts a big smile on my face! I think I managed to talk to everyone at some point, but I would have loved to have chatted more to each and every one of you! Three hours is not enough for a blogger’s party! 馃槢
In addition to having a party, we also had a Twitter Raffle and a Pick n Mix bar at our event! Instead of handing out goody bags, we asked the bloggers to pick out some treats for themselves at the bloggers bar! Everyone got to take home: Spot Treatment from
Dream Dots, Owls Decorations and Notebooks from
Sass & Belle, Hand Cream from
Crabtree & Evelyn, samples from
Teapigs, Aloe Vera drinks from
Simplee Aloe, Black Toothpaste from
Beverly Hills Formula and a selection of chocolates from
Green & Blacks.
It’s also really nice to see everyone dressed up in festive outfits! Some wore Christmas jumpers, some came in glamorous dresses and some combined the two!
House of Fraser is of course sponsoring with a
“Best Festive Dressed” competition with a voucher. So it was nice to see that everyone made an effort. If you came to the party, then please remember to upload your entries!
I’ll talk more about the brands in another post later this week. 馃檪
