One thing I truly love about blogging is attending blogger events. If that blogger event is hosted by a fellow blogger then chances are I will love it 8158 x more. Last month, I headed along to Ameriesko in Liverpool for the NWmeet 2.0. If you're not too sure what I'm talking about NWMeet 2.0 was a blogger meet-up organised by the fabulous Katy at The Lilac Scrapbook. Last year, I attended the NWMeet (which you can read all about here, it was fab and there was a french bulldog *hint hint*). Getting to head back to Liverpool for a second NWMeet was super exciting!
If you're ever in Liverpool looking for a place for coffee or cake, Bold St is the place to be. I hadn't visited Ameriesko before the event but I will most certainly be going back to test out the menu! Every time someone walked by with any kind of food or drink I had to restrain myself from drooling. From milkshakes to sweet potato fries to cakes, it all looked incredible.
This time around I was feeling a little bit more like a wallflower, only flourishing and being chatty in small groups. Nevertheless, I had such a lovely time. I love blogger meet-ups simply because it gives me a chance to meet some of the girls (and guys!) that I so often chat to on social media or who's blogs I will read and adore; or it means getting to meet brand new blogger friends and that's always a good thing! It's a chance to be in a room of lots of uniquely amazing individuals who all share a love for blogging. Oh, and let's not forget the hilarity of being in a room full of people and only realizing who they are when they start screaming their twitter handle at you. Total 21st century problems.
At the event, we were joined by a lovely lady from Weleda, who talked to us about Skin Food, which by the way sounds incredible. Plus, it's all natural which is always a winner with me. Some of the girls received some Weleda products in their NWmeet goody bags so I look forward to seeing their reviews!
Katy also gracefully hosted a raffle filled with fabulous prizes. Through the raffle we managed to raise over £200 for MIND charity. This is a charity close to so many bloggers heart so it was lovely to support such a wonderful cause.
After a day filled with laughter, smiling and non-stop chatting, I headed home to have a nosy through the goody bag. It was overflowing with treats and I've only had chance to sample a few! I hope to put up a few posts in the near future of some of my favourite items from the goody bag. For now, I'll just divulge a sneak peek at a list of some of the brands that we were lucky enough to receive!
Honestly, I cannot express how much admiration and appreciation I have for any blogger who puts on a meet-up so a thousand times thank you to Katy for being so fab.
It was so lovely to meet you =]
