Expo West was one of the first major conferences cancelled because of COVID-19 fears. I understood and thought it was the right decision but I hated missing the opportunity to check out what’s new from some of my favorite companies. Some of the companies I was supposed to meet with sent me new products and refreshed products to check out. I’m going to share these with you and then share some of the goodies! [See my first post in this series here.]
I’ve been going to Expo West since 2016. If you haven’t seen my recaps or giveaways over the past few years, it’s like the Super Bowl for natural products. I make many great connections that last the whole year and years to follow. [If you’re interested, here are my posts from 2016 (day 1 and recap), 2017 (day 1 and day 2), 2018 (day 1 + 2, top trends and day 3) and 2019 (day 1, day 2 and day 3/wrap up.
