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 30, 2015 at 8:45 pmI met this awesome friend named Marcus & he pays everything forward!! He waits around for ppl at a restaurant and buys their food or even at Vegas he sometimes give up to half of his winnings forward. Marcus will give his chips to random ppl, so he’s taught me to pay it forward more often. 🙂

April 30, 2015 at 1:34 amThe sweetest person on Twitter is @schwoebez there’s nothing this young lady wouldn’t do for another. She is 18 and already supporting her mom and dad with bills. It’s hard for her to buy stuff for herself so we teamed up to try and win giveaways. Thank you

April 29, 2015 at 9:22 pmThe sweetest person I ever met on Twitter is my best friend Dean. She currently deleted her Twitter due to spam taking over her account though. She is just the best person I’ve ever encountered in my entire life. I’ve known her for about four years now. She’s still in college currently and has such a love for makeup to the point that I’ve encouraged her to maybe start her own line one day. She’s had a hard life yet is extremely strong and wonderful. If I were able to win this prize I would give it all to her. She isn’t the type of friend who expects anything from me, but when I have the money I love to splurge on her and surprise her. She would absolutely cry to have all of these wonderful gifts. I always want to remind her I love her and I’ll be there for her no matter what and that she should always go after her dreams because she always supports mine. Thank you for the opportunity Dave.

April 29, 2015 at 6:46 pmThe sweetest person I have met on twitter is undoubtedly @mansikadian She is absolutely beautiful and she is my pillar of strength. She inspires me and encourages me. She has been with me through the good times as well as the rough ones and she always cheers me on. I am truly lucky to have met such a wonderful and genuine person on Twitter. I absolutely adore her and her spirit. Even though she has faced so many difficulties in life she still stands tall with a smile on my face. One of the things I truly love about her is her ability to see the positive side of everyone and everything. She is enigmatic and I aspire to be strong like her.

April 29, 2015 at 5:35 pmThe sweetest person I’ve ever met on Twitter is @sassproblems she’s an inspiring person and a hard worker. She’s starting her own blog about beauty and other things so she can pursue her passions in life. She invited me to become a writer on the blog – something I’ve always wanted to do. We’ve never met in person but she’s become a close friend that I feel comfortable confiding in. Even though she has about 30,000 followers on Twitter she always has time to show me a new makeup tip or help me with a photo edit. I’m so grateful for this close friend I’ve met through Twitter, and know that even though we live in different time zones we will still stay friends forever. @gypsyindisguise
