One of the things I love most about the blogging/youtube community is that I have met some really lovely girls who I chat to regularly, and this weekend I finally got the chance to meet a few of them in person.
On Saturday, I made the rather long trek down to Sheffield to meet up with
Lauren,
Maxine, and
Hollie. (Another two lovely girls, Haidee and Helen, were supposed to join us, but sadly couldn't make it in the end. We raised a good few shots for them though ha ha)
I arrived at lunchtime, and was greeted at the station by Lauren and Hollie which was completely surreal as I have read both of their blogs and tweeted back and forth to them for such a long time, so to finally meet them 'IRL' (lol) was very bizarre.
We had a bit of a moment on the train platform, being all girly and squealing, and then Lauren took us back to her house to let us get settled in and have the grand tour. I was SO excited for this, as Lauren has an absolutely gorgeous home with every girl's dream - her own dressing room! She filmed it for us a while back but I couldn't wait to get a live tour!
Once I had freshened up (and died of jealousy at her amazing dressing room) we went out for a bite to eat at Bella Italia, and absolutely stuffed our faces with the most amazing pizza and a desert that I am scared to even write about as I fear the calories will jump off the page and into my belly. Suffice to say, it was YUM.
Afterwards, the lovely Maxine finished work and we picked her up from the train station. She phoned Lauren when we were waiting for her in the car park and I actually got a bit fan girly when I heard her voice, as I have watched her youtube channel for so long, and she was one of the first girls I started chatting to on Youtube (along with Haidee who sadly couldn't make it).
Once we picked up Maxine, we all went back to Lauren's to get ready. Can you imagine the combined amount of make up and beauty items that four beauty bloggers used to get ready for a night out?! It was pretty ridiculous!
I was absolutely dying with the flu, so Lauren decided the best way to cure me was get me DRUNK, so shots were definitely on the menu!
After taking lots of silly photos and messing around in the house, we went into town and round a few bars in Sheffield, drinking lots and causing mayhem along the way, and generally just having a complete giggle. The night gets a bit blurry after my fifth Jaegerbomb and third Tequila, but the great thing about the night is that it didn't feel I was out with three girls who I had just met for the first time, it felt like we had known each other for ages. (On that note, how random when people asked how we knew each other....ER, WE ARE INTERNET FWENDS!)
I had such a lovely time, it's just a shame I was so ill as I definitely wasn't feeling 100% myself, but I battled through and stayed out till the death. (Gold star for me) I definitely paid for it the next day, as the train journey home was hell on earth, but it was worth it!
Thank you so much to Lauren for being such a great host, and to Hollie and Maxine for generally just being absolute babes.
Can't wait till the next time girls.
Stay beautiful, inside and out xxx
