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 26, 2015 at 8:54 pmI think your page is the best thing I’ve found through twitter & basically the reason I joined in the first place! For someone who grew up her whole life as a tomboy & is trying to find her way in the beauty world it has become an incredible asset to me & I show anyone I can! Nina is amazing as well & I love her tweets & all of her glam guidance! Not going to enter, any of these fine ladies deserve to win^ just wanted to say thanks 🙂

April 26, 2015 at 7:29 pmMy son’s girlfriend Hayley, we have become closer over time and she has/is helping through my illness. Through Twitter she has helped me become stronger and learn a lot more about a lot of different things. It’s so nice to have someone who is teaching me new ways with beauty. Through twitter, she sends me information, new idea’s, new approaches on how to apply or different shades that would suit me. We have watched Nina many times on how to apply and then tried. Great fun. I believe twitter has helped us to become great friends
