#XmasBloggersLunch Meet-Up in London

I ♥ London! Sooooooo much!!!! lol This weekend I went to London to meet up with a friend coming from the US (more on that in the next post) and to attend my very first beauty blogger event!! Woohoo!! Man I had such a good time!!

 Two beautiful chica's...Safira from Miss Stylicious and Julie from Sweets Are My Weakness (a girl after my own heart lol) organised a fab blogger Chistmas get together in Kensington at a lovely little pub! I've been chatting to Safira for quite a while over Twitter so when she told me she was organising this event I jumped at the chance to meet her!

I was a little nervous going to my first blogger event, not really knowing many other bloggers. Overestimating how long it would take me to get there I actually arrived 15 mins early to an empty pub! I was the first one there but luckily 5 mins later the lovely Grace from All That Slap arrived greeting me with such a warm welcome and big hug!! She was the only other person apart from Safira who I had chatted to over Twitter beforehand so it was so great to meet her! After that the party got started and lots of fun bloggers came rolling in.

It was so lovely to meet so many wonderful people! Everyone was so incredibly friendly and genuinely wanted to meet everyone else so it was a great vibe! There are two chicks I wana give a special shout out to....April from A Pretty Wardrobe and Sophie from Sophee.co.uk who were just super sweet! And also LiLi from Lets Get Lippy...for some reason we only got a chance to speak briefly but she sent me such a cute email afterwards to say hi :-)

Julie, Aysh, Safira, LiLi, ??, Sophie, Jo, Chelsea, ?? and Hayley in the hat :-)

Me and Safira

We were also lucky enough to be joined the beautiful and inspiring Brooklyn Stylist Hilary Rushford who started her own business Dean Street Society and offered us some interesting advice on how to create a long term focus/aim for our blogs and also how important branding can be to getting noticed and potential opportunities it could lead to. Thanks Hilary, I really enjoyed your talk!

We were also treated by the lovely Slendertone ladies who kindly spent the whole day speaking to each of us on a one-to-one basis explaining how their Slendertone Face (here) product works and generously gave us all one to take home and try.

Safira and Julie managed to snag us some awesome goodies too! Check this lot out!!

 

Thank you so much Safira and Julie for organising a fab event! I hope you guys do one again soon! :-)
