Well if you haven’t heard already there was a FABULOUS Toronto Beauty Bloggers (TBB) meetup held on Sunday March 27th, 2011 at the Loki Salon provided by Kavita hosted by the fabulous Farah of Faces by Farah .
This was my first EVER meetup with TBB and I have to admit – I was nervous and intimidated! I remember before buying my ticket email Farah and asking her if it was ok for me to attend since I wasn’t a makeup artist and my blog was very new. Farah with her virtual open arms told me to come so I did!
Boy am I glad I did! By fluke I met Farah at another event the week before but other than that I didn’t know anyone at the event and was having trouble getting everyone’s names and twitter handles straight LOL!
Here are a few photos then I’ll post what I learned from the meetup.
First up, some pictures of the beautiful venue (because I got there early 
)
Now on to some pictures of bloggers!
The wonderful Alicia of
Funny Face Beauty working the front desk and signing bloggers in
Our event organizer the beautiful and talented Farah of
Faces by FarahThe closest to a group shot I could get
Overloaded with pictures? Sorry!!!
Ok so here’s what I learned:
1) Beauty Bloggers are NOT scary. They are amazing and so super friendly and welcoming
2) I need business cards LOL – this should have been a no brainer for me but I’m pretty new to the blogging world and never even THOUGHT about carrying business cards for my two blogs.
3) I’m better with twitter handles than I am with names…but now that I have put twitter handles WITH names to FACES I think I will be able to remember in the future (but please don’t test me)
4) TBB meet ups are AMAZING! And even though I didn’t know ONE person there, it was really cool because I still felt like I belonged
Some people I didn’t get pictures of THIS time but I will for sure next time that I wanted to say “hi” to:
Jenn of
Spiced Beauty who KNEW who I was before I introduced myself…talk about flattered!
Lena of
Listen to Lena who was so full of energy and loved my name LOL!
Fiona of the Product War series that I JUST discovered…it was fun hanging with you!
And of course I can’t wait to get to know MANY of the other ladies I tweet with but didn’t get a chance to chat with on Sunday
Well that’s it from me, I’m looking forward to being more a part of the TBB community and of course looking forward to the next meet up.
I LOVE that I get to be chosen at the fave pic! It was such a treat meeting you and discussing. I love “my’ beauty bloggers!

Amazing. Such a great post. It was so great to meet you in person although I wish we’d had more time to chat. Your pictures are spectacular. May have to borrow a couple (and credit you of course). Can’t wait for the next TBB meet-up.
