Big Girly Exchange

Want to find out the best sources for everything from cosmetics to contractors, clothes to cafes. Why waste time or money? Eliminate the trial and error process. Get to the good stuff immediately. In one evening, you’ll know where to shop, what to buy and why plus find out the best places to go to rejuvenate from your hectic life.

This is a great idea for a fun girls night out. It would be a great way to meet new people and also a great resource. I can't wait to try it!


Here are the details:

* Meet at Coffee House
* Each one brings samples and notes
* Invite 10 people

Make everything as “Show and Tell” as possible. Bring actual stuff and put names and phone numbers on paper.

Here are the categories:
Show & Tell: Bring and share your most recent cool “finds”.

People Bank: Share the names of people who performed services you were wildly satisfied with. Bring names and phone numbers. Favorite contractors, caterers, cleaners and masseuses names will be passed around.

Retail Therapy & Best Buys: Share places where you've scored great things or particularly enjoy shopping; a place (or person) that provided a great shopping experience, or places that had great deals.

Renewal: Share the names of places to go where you’ve been transformed. They can be faraway places, getaways that occur in just one day, or things that transform you in an hour. This can include pieces of music, yoga studios, books, etc.

Food/Health: Favorite restaurants, recipes entertaining ideas whats in season, cookbooks, not-to-be-missed vendors for organic produce at the Farmer’s Market. Remedies for allergy sufferers.

Roundtable: What's new in your life (This should be a follow-up get together).
