One of the biggest surprises for me when I first joined Twitter two years ago was how many truly lovely people I met. I’ve told the story several times that I resisted joining social media as the editors in my city used it to show how fabulous they were. It came across to me as bragging and I didn’t want anything to do with that. Thankfully my friend Heather convinced me to join and I was immediately taken on how many great people are on Twitter. I met Nina Westbury (@ninawmakeup) on Twitter when she won one of my contests. She gave me the wrong address to her house twice!! I discovered the Bridgette Jones of Beauty through social media. She’s become such a dear friend. She makes me laugh so hard with her misadventures and the stories she makes up about me. My favourite was when she told everyone I insisted her son play the harp at our events. There are so many others I’ve met. It would take pages to list them all. But I’m so grateful to have met each of you.
There were so many people who shared their incredible stories below. If you get a chance, read through them. They’re heartwarming. Everyone had a great story. I drew from all entries below and Stacy Bauer from the U.S. was the winner. Big thanks to all who entered!

April 24, 2015 at 11:02 amThis probably sounds odd, but the sweetest person I’ve met on Twitter is my Mom @nancyh4745 – I discovered she had an account when she commented on a post one day. I’ve learned a different side of her through in social media. Gotta love her!

April 24, 2015 at 11:02 amMy twitter beauty advisor has to be my sister. I know it’s kind of cheating because I already know her, but she always looks good, even without makeup and she is a huge makeup lover. She would freak OUT if she won this 🙂

April 24, 2015 at 10:25 amApart from you dave the sweetest person i have struck up a Twitter friendship is @sallylord she has been there for me through a very sad time in my life last year & never judges or is nasty to anyone. She’s a very caring loyal person & I’m sure we would be great friends in our ‘real’ lives as well as our ‘Twitter ‘ lives.
Dave Lackie
April 26, 2015 at 8:21 pmso nice you’ve met Sally!! And sorry to hear you’ve gone through a sad time in your life!!
Laurie House
April 24, 2015 at 10:16 amI know everyone says this Dave but you really are one of the nicest people I have met on twitter. If we were going for funny it is Nina. Someone elses tweets I look forward to are @cookiegigan she inspires me, she always seems to be positive and have something positive to say and I admire that, too many sit behind a computer and think they can say anything they want without thinking about impact on others.
Dave Lackie
April 26, 2015 at 8:22 pmThank you Laurie. I agree that Nina and Cookie are pretty awesome!
