#ECMeetUp – A trip to the races!
Bloggers based in the Eastern Cape are in for a treat on June 2nd, when we celebrate another year of blogging at the annual ECMeetUp. It’s ECMeetUp time you guys, and this time around we’d like to invite you to go and see a man about a horse. That’s right, we’re hosting the meet up at the very classy Fairview Race Course! Aaack! A trip to the races, anyone? Why the race course, I hear you ask in shock and amazement. Well, for starters, since we will be partnering with Travelstart (yes, the actual real life Travelstart… more on that next week) we thought that “going places” is a pretty…

#ECMeetUp – The good, the great and the food
ECMeetUp has come and gone and I’m still reeling at how amazing the people of Nelson Mandela Bay are. I’m not trying to butter you guys up, but PE bloggers, you guys are literally the nicest group of people I’ve met in like, the history of like, people, and stuff. Needless to say, the meet up was probably one of our best, no doubt probably due to the amazingness of Sarah, Ralph and The Boma team. They make us look good. There, I said it. So, after all of the gushing, let me proceed to tell you what went down at #ECMeetUp this past Saturday . Well, for starters, the…

As is tradish, we’re sharing a list of our very cool delegates deets, in this easy to read blog post, because we’re kind like that.

Five reasons why you should come to our 2025 #ECMeetUp mini meet!
And we’re at it again. Miss JustEllaBella (okay that’s not really her name) and I are busy prepping and planning to give you the best 2025 #ECMeetUp mini meet this side of town! “But Luchae, what is a mini meet?” I hear you ask. Well, dear friend, a mini meet is a smaller version of our annual giant, colossal meet up! But still just as uber cool. I promise. For those who don’t know, we had our annual meet up in May this year and it was pretty dope. Even if I do say so myself. Which I do. We all wore unicorn horns, heard from very clever speakers, drank…

ECMeetUp recap – Of unicorn horns and decadent pancakes
So we’re still reeling after having the best #ECMeetUp 2025 this side of the century! Yes, I am still pregnant – even though going into labor at a blogger conference would probably have made the event go viral (hello Facebook Live). But nope, my kid is still happily tucked away in moms tummy. He enjoyed all the amazing food that Ralph and Sarah, of The Plantation, fed our faces with. Uh can you say decadent pancakes (with just about every topping!) and a breakfast that made me feel as if I should have a title infront of my name (Lady Lu sounds good, right?) We were also blown away by…

#ECMeetUp: We came, we saw, we ate mini cupcakes
Our 2nd #ECMeetUp for 2025 (lovingly referred to as “the mini meet”) took place this past Saturday at The Athenaeum. We called it a mini meet because we weren’t up to pulling off another massive meet, with all the frills and bows, as per the last time. In our heads (well, in Elles head and in my spreadsheet brain) we planned a small get together, with little brand involvement. But our friends over at Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism decided to blow our minds and we ended up having a semi-mini-meet of sorts that resembled a regular major meet!
