Beauty Bloggers Meetup - Chit Chat and Chai

Maliha 9:01 PM

Planning something with Pakistan Beauty Blogger's Community led to a very exciting meetup. The recent Beauty Bloggers Meetup was not a huge gathering, compared to a lot of international meet ups, but it was successful. We intend it to be bigger in the future, but it's a great start.

First of all a BIG thankyou to Rabiyah (co-founder of PBBC) for putting this together with me :)
Rain tree Spa was generous and sweet enough to be the lovely hosts for the PBBC meetup.

Many of us were meeting for the first time. It's interesting to put a face to a blog. It becomes more intimate. The evening started with the formal meet and greet. There were 9 of us which was a good turnout considering there are not many active bloggers in Karachi.

Meet and greet turned into blog stories about fake bloggers, Pr companies, Blogging basics and horror stories of stalkers (yes even bloggers have some of those!). While we were chit chatting we got free Nail finish treatment from Rain tree Spa. Lubna, the owner, joined us as well and shared delightful stuff about rain tree's background, makeup and hair.

First drinks then tea was served, while we all chatted some more and munched on goodies. The homemade carrot cake was a winner (unfortunately we were too busy indulging in it and forgot to take a photograph :/ )

We also had a lucky draw. Three lucky ladies won a free blow dry by Rain tree spa :) See Photos below!

We all had brought a little something to swap or sell from our makeup collection and when all the stuff was placed on the table you can only imagine the excitement :) We are Beauty Bloggers for a reason...anything related to beauty excites us! I Swapped my goodies with Nida and Rabiyah (blog coming up next on the review of those).

It was a fun meet up where we all connected. The main purpose was to share knowledge about blogs and also to encourage unity an support amongst bloggers. Last but not the least we got goody bags with yummy cupcakes, gift vouchers from Tohfay.com and a 25% Discount voucher from Rain tree Spa. I am definitely coming back for a Mani-Pedi here!
