#HBMarchMeet 2016

I attended the Hull Bloggers March Meet this weekend at Al Porto restaurant, as always i had  an amazing time! I met some new faces, which is always nice & I got to catch up with some old faces which I should do more often! The #HullBloggers at just the best set of people.

Unlike the last event which was much larger & more of a gathering, this time there we're less people, no stalls & we had a sit down meal. The goodie bags were also reduced, as lovely as it is to get lots of stuff it's also nice to receive a select amount.

We ate from Al Porto's lunch menu & I've got to say it was difficult to choose! I eventually went for the Italian sausage & mash with cannelloni beans in a Napoli sauce. As always it was delicious!

Whilst eating we were all given questions to read out & go round the table and each answer, I found out a lot about people I didn't know before which was lovely.

We were very lucky to receive some amazing goodie from brands & I will be doing individual posts but here's a quick peak ...

As you can see some incredible brands sent us stuff which I'm so greatfull for & can't wait to use!

I had such a lovely day! I'd like to thank Kat & Jenny for putting on an amazing event & Im looking forward to the next one, hopefully in summer!

Thanks for reading and keep an eye out for those reviews.

Firstly id like to apologise for me been MIA these past couple of weeks, Lots of things have accumulated to my lack of blogging, But its finally here, the very exciting #HBAlPorto Summer Meet post!

If you follow me on Twitter you'll have seen I was very excited about this event and in actual fact I won a prize for been the most excited blogger on Twitter.

I won two Twig + Dot candles which smell divine.

After having a chat and our own #HullBloggers cocktail we had the chance to go talk to some of the stall holders about there products, Lush, Weleda & Viridian were all there and it was nice to talk to each of them about there brands. I was lucky enough to get a hand ex-foliation and massage from lush. Each of them gave us a goodie bag which was very kind of them. (reviews coming soon)

Al Porto staff brought round canapés which were delicious. 

A raffle was held to raise money for The Eve Appeal, The Eve Appeal is a registered charity, formed in 2002 who work hard to raise money to fund the research of Women's Cancer, We raised over £200 for them, which is just amazing!!!

I won a few bits,

We also received three bags full of products and we had to bring our own bag to fill. (which will be in a separate post) We were all over whelmed at the amount of things we were given and so great full for it all.

We also got the #HBAlPorto trending on twitter, WOOOOOW!!

AND BREATH ... Thats a long one!

Id like to thank Alex, Kat & Jenny on organising an amazing event and getting all those amazing brands to send us products. We are all truly grateful for your hard work and I hope we have another event very soon.

Keep an eye out for my goodie bag post were ill talk through all the things I received.
