What Went Down at the #BloggerBabesXmasMeet and Greet/ Christmas Party

For several weeks, we had been toying with the idea of hosting a “meet and greet” for a bunch of followers and was never quite sure how we wanted it to be. LOL Well, last weekend we decided to combine our love of blogging and social media-ing to create a little something called the “#BloggerBabesXmasMeet ,” and it was absolutely amazing.

With Christine, Rochelle, Kaycee and Genzel

This was my first meet and greet with my fave beauty bloggers who share the same passion. It's both  an honor and pleasure to be with these beautiful ladies; Christine, Rochelle, Kaycee and Genzel. Also, I think meet-ups with our loyal readers and followers are especially great, because it gives a chance for us to meet new people and to make new friends, as well as making connections to some brands where we could possibly do a collaboration in the future!

But first, prayers... the event started with a thanksgiving prayer led by Roxane Cabile-Montierro.

I thank God for these girls and the efforts they put into this event, and it's amazing when I get the chance to host an event with other people who do the same thing as I do. 

 

When planning this event, we reached out to some of our favorite brands to see if they would be interested in providing some treats and gifts for our followers. Surprisingly, not only were they interested, they all went above and beyond. Just take a look at our amazing sponsors:

No one went home empty handed. We made sure that everyone won something in the raffle. We had fun-filled games and other engaging activities such as the makeup workshop given by one of the #BloggerBabes Gen-zel. Yasss! I love her and I'm a huge fan! Too bad we weren't able to hear her angelic voice... Um, maybe next time. *wink*

Thank you to Big Guys Pizza, for providing a HUGE pizza, which we devoured during the event!  My gosh, "tawagin ang buong barangay". Literally speaking, it was huge, tasty and amazingly affordable!

Their signature 36-inch pizza can feed up to 20 persons. That's 70+ slices for a little over Php1000 only. Super sulit, mga besh!
