I haven't spent much time with the girls recently and was reminded of this fact a few weeks ago. So in an effort to be a better friend I agreed to go on a girls outing to the Women's Expo. It ended up being VR and I as all the other girls had work to do or drinking to get prepared for. I didn't reallllly wanna go, but thought I would anyway. And to my surprise we had a good time.
$10 entry fee was pretty small compared to other expo's, so that was a good start. VR's plan is to do a swoop of the entire expo and then double back and have a better look at each stall.
I found my workmates squireled away in the far back corner, handing out brochures like every other stall owner. I had a good chat, but was mighty pleased I didn't have to stay for hours on end.
I quickly made a realisation that stall's fell into one of three groups. Group 1 - Stalls that were selling a product. Group 2 - Stalls that were giving away information. Group 3 - Stalls demonstrating a service. And almost all the stalls had some sort of competition or raffle to enter. Some sort of "Give me your contact details and I may give you a voucher to spend at my store" type form. I was determined to win something - I never win anything!
We ended up coming home with some grating plates, sticky rollers, a necklace and more brochures and business cards then I knew what to do with. Most of which went straight in the bin when I got home. Plus, a voucher for a free eye lash shaping and tinting, possible lush lashes (lash extensions) and VR signed herself up to host a Prenzel party.
After 2 hours we left, having had a much better time than I had anticipated. Yay.
And when I got home I waited for the rain to stop, then went to take more photos in the garden:
