You may have seen the #bigbloggerconference trending all day yesterday on twitter – no.1 in the country at one point, woohoo! There was such a buzz on social media, with lots of disappointed peeps who hadn’t managed to secure a ticket, lamenting being left out. I was very excited to be attending and eagerly tweeting away with the rest of the girls (just realised – not one male blogger!) from early morning.

This get-together was organised by @LDNmeet, three awesome ladies who event managed this bevy of blogging beauties into a group of gift-laden, knowledge-packed power players! We were treated to the brain-pickings of 3 key speakers, Sarah of www.theproseccodiaries.com, (I actually love her – but don’t tell her I said that!). Elizabeth, a UK Ambassador for Pinterest and herself an esteemed blogger at rosalilium.com and last but definitely not least, queen of SEO & eponymous blogger at www.jasminecharlotte.com

Knowledge is power, I always say, and I’ve come away with this in spades, plus renewed vigour for my blog and an enthusiasm to implement all I gleaned yesterday. Further to the seminars, we had a brand fest in the afternoon, and I literally had welts on my arms with carrying the goodie bags of products we came away with!

All of the brands were amazing to talk to, in a completely relaxed and pressure-free environment,where we were simply gifted generously proportioned samples of products to try out and inform our blog audience of, if we so wished. They were all so sweet and informative,making our afternoon so much fun.

We were engaging with luxury brands such as:

1. House of Fraser

2. Myprotein

3. Shoeaholics

4. jewellerybox.co.uk

5. SASS

6. Heaven Skincare

7. Bee Good

8. COMB

9. The Parlour

10. BeauBronz

11. Made By Jade

12. The Gifting Lounge

13. The Hut Group

& I’m sure there were some others who I’ve not listed as it was just so busy & product-packed!

I am currently loving Abi @BeauBronz (You can read about my love of spray tans here!) & Deborah Mitchell of Heaven Skincare, two inspirational, incredibly successful businesswomen who I’d love to develop long-term biz relationships with.

The balmy London afternoon was rounded off by an amazing raffle and a sweep of all the remaining cupcakes, we topped our day off in sugar-fuelled style. As far as blogging meets go, the opportunity to connect with like minded people and engage with premium brands, @LDNmeet have pretty much covered every base. You can read about one of my previous blogger events here.

Afterwards, I went on a little shopping spree & enjoyed the delights of my fave place in the world until the sun set & it was time to head home. Goodnight London, you’ve been amazing as always.

Thanks ladies of @ldnmeet for a fantastic day, and hats off to you guys for pulling off another brilliant extravaganza! X
