HB March Meet: Hull Bloggers


One of the things I love the most about blogging is the community and the fact you can meet such lovely, creative folk with so much collective wisdom.

There were fashion & beauty bloggers, those who had built a blog around their business, lifestyle bloggers and many more besides and I had lovely chats with Jennie, Jenny, Mars and many others.

It’s all about finding your tribe and I really enjoyed learning more about other people’s worlds.
