SXSW Bound — Refresh With GeekMom and Cottonelle!

I’m am beside myself with excitement to be heading off to SXSW on Monday, and I hope to see some of our amazing readers there! This year we’re partnering with Cottonelle, and I’ll be easy to find at their rad Refresh Lounge. What’a a Refresh Lounge? Glad you asked! It’s a place for you to come, kick up your heels, and refresh from the sometimes sweaty and icky unpleasantries of convention life. Let’s be honest. We could all use a little glamor pampering after mulling about in a daze throughout the convention.

Here’s more from the SXSW blog:

The Cottonelle Refresh Lounge, located in the Iron Works Lower Lot (511 East Cesar Chavez), is the one-stop shop for SXSW registrants to refresh, relax, and recharge during the conference.

Stopping by the lounge on your way to your next party? Join in the conversation with Cottonelle by “talking bums” to earn refreshing services, such as chair massages and hair and makeup touch-ups to keep you feeling clean and fresh throughout your day!

The Cottonelle Refresh Lounge will also feature changing stalls to quickly swap outfits, shoe shine stations, device chargers, storage lockers, and a refreshment bar with a 5-7pm happy hour daily!

I’ll be hanging out, snapping pictures, and likely giving out GeekMom goodies, too! You can follow along on Twitter both @NataniaBarron and @GeekMomBlog. Getting into the Refresh Lounge is easy—just use #letstalkbums, and you’ll have instant access. If massages, easy outfit changes, makeup touch-ups, and getting really clean and fresh sounds like an oasis amidst the storm of SXSW (and who are you that that doesn’t?) come on by!

Another reason we love working with Cottonelle? Yeah, it’s conversations like these below. Sometimes it seems like talk bums all day long in our house—especially with my two kids (and my daughter in the midst of potty training… ugh). If you’re like me, you could really use a laugh.
