On Monday night, we invited a few top bloggers to Aromatherapy Associates’ gorgeous boutique in Knightsbridge, followed by a dinner of Japanese sushi in Soho. Here are some highlights from the night:
The Aromatherapy Associates Boutique was the perfect place for our event – a tranquil sanctuary that greets you with the most heavenly scent when you arrive, setting the tone for you to peruse the shelves or even enjoy a treatment in their treatment rooms downstairs (see a full review here!).
After we’d all caught up over a swig (or two!) of bubbly, the lovely folk at Aromatherapy Associates gave us a talk on their signature oils and the science behind aromatherapy. We all tried three of their signature scents; Relax Deep, Revive Morning and Support Equilibrium. We voted on our favourites and learned about the ingredients used, the reasons we could be drawn to specific ones, plus the benefits of each.
We were thrilled to have Birchbox co-founder Katia in town for the day, who was happy to reconnect with some of the bloggers we took to our recent New York trip and meet some new ones too!
Next, we hopped into cabs and headed to Japanese restaurant Chotto Matte in Soho. We were greeted by scrummy cocktails and personalised perspex Birchboxes that were filled with five of Katia’s favourite beauty picks from our e-shop.
Of course we couldn’t resist holding a competition for the bloggers followers to be in with a chance of winning their own inscribed storage case, plus a six month Birchbox subscription! Check out #bbxbespoke on Twitter for more info!
We’d like to thank Aromatherapy Associates, our brilliant PR Manager Rachel and Pure PR for putting together such a fab event. We can’t wait for the next one…
