#SheffieldMeetUp

On Saturday 18th May, I went to the #SheffieldMeetUp which was organised by Rachel, Caroline and Charlotte. The event was actually in Meadowhall, somewhere I had never been to before but luckily there was a train from Manchester Picadilly that took me directly to Meadowhall. On first impressions, I was so impressed of Meadowhall. From the train station, I just followed a tunnel and ended up in the shopping centre. It meant I had less chance of getting lost! Plus Rachel had arranged for Claire to meet anyone that didn't know where they were going. Thank you!

I bumped into Frances (http://francescassandra.blogspot.co.uk/) on the way and along with Claire, headed to Handmade Burger Co (http://handmadeburger.co.uk/). Even though it was very busy and there was a queue outside, they very kindly let us use a section of the restaurant for the meet up. I was quite early to the event and the girls were still setting up but they showed us to our seats where a massive goodie bag with our name on was waiting for us. 

Handmade Burger Co were extremely generous and all the bloggers that attended received a complimentary burger, side and a refillable drink. I chose the cheese and bacon BBQ beef burger along with chips. I can honestly say it was the nicest burger I have ever had! I was disappointed to find out there isn't one in Manchester but I have since found out there are plans in the pipeline to build one in Manchester! Yay! I cannot wait to take the fiancé as we both love burgers! 

Before, during and after our meal, we had the opportunity to socialise with some other bloggers. Sitting on my table was the lovely Abby (http://www.un-observed.com/), Frances and Jen (http://www.bowsbanglesandbakes.com/). I was apprehensive beforehand as I was going to the event on my own and I didn't know anyone else going but everyone I spoke to was so lovely and I'm so glad I went. 

Once we had finished our food and chatted about blogging to fellow bloggers, we had a little bit of time for shopping before it was time to head to Lush. We popped in Boots, Superdrug and obviously Primark! The lovely people at Lush Meadowhall had agreed to give us mini workshops in groups. We had the chance to play with FUN, which is like playdough for your body and hair! We had fun moulding it into different shapes and it smells delicious. We also had a chance to look at the new Emotional Brilliance range which is so bright and colourful. Lush were super generous and we got a goodie bag with a few products in. Thank you Lush Meadowhall! 

I had such a brilliant day, totally worth travelling 2 hours for! Thanks again to Rachel, Charlotte and Caroline for organising the successful meet up. Thank you to Handmade Burger Co for providing our base and our lunch - I cannot wait until I can visit you in Manchester! Thank you to Lush Meadowhall and all the other companies that had provided goodies for our goodie bags. 

I met so many lovely bloggers, I hope I keep in contact with them. I'm sure I'll see them at future events and meet ups. Make sure you check out their blogs (links above).
