  • Hampton Roads Recap @ Pacifica

    It was the rainiest of spring evenings last week at our 2nd Hampton Roads blogger meet-up, but that didn’t stop us from a fun evening at Pacifica! Our first meet-up took place in Norfolk, so we gathered in Virginia Beach for this month’s happy hour festivities, co-hosted by Christina & Kristen of 6 Petals. Pacifica is such a great restaurant with delicious food & drink options, & let me tell ya, I’ve never roasted a marshmallow during happy hour before, but I don’t know that it can be topped.

    Having successfully navigated our smores without setting anything on fire, we spent our evening getting to know new faces & sharing our stories about how our blogs got started. The notebook favors that Kristen & Christina handmade (!!!) for everyone were put to good use when we all shared the blogs that have been inspiring us recently, which resulted in a few new blogs being added to everyone’s daily reads list. We left our evening of laughs & inspiration with a few fun ideas for next month’s meet-up.

  • NOVA Meet Up Recap

    On Sunday we had our NOVA bloggers meetup in Leesburg, VA. Last time we met up we decided to do themed meetups, so Kim was awesome enough to present for our first themed meetup: Beauty and Blogging.

    We started the meetup getting to know each other a bit better by sharing random things about ourselves. It was fun to learn something new about each other! Then Kim gave a very awesome presentation that featured 10 beauty tips that any lady should know! The tips were great and we learned a lot about makeup and hair.

    After the awesome presentation we went over some blogging topics. We shared our different blogging experiences and tips that we have learned. It is always great to share and learn from other bloggers! After the meeting we atempted a group selfie, we think it came out pretty well!
