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 11:10 amI met one of my dearest friend on twitter @orgullblaugrana, at first we only talked about our respective passion for sport but then it went deaper and I listened to her when she had problems, when she needed to talk. I feel lucky I met her because now she’s like my sister I would do everything for her. Twitter friends can be considered as not real but I think it’s because the person still hasn’t met their twitter “soulmate”.

She really is the naughtiest ,nice person imaginable. I think a night out with her would be the best night out ever. Hopefully i’ll get to meet her some day : )

April 24, 2015 at 11:05 amThe sweetest person I’ve met on Twitter (and one of my favourite people in the world) is the lovely @Fii__fii. She’s such a kind hearted soul without a bad bone in her body and she’s very stylish so is always helping me with fashion & beauty – as well as everyday life problems. Love her!
My own handle is @chanteldione.

April 24, 2015 at 11:05 am@sxpence Helps me stay sane when my family tries to take me down to cray cray town. We’re just two moms who try to keep it together for our families and have forged a bond unashamedly objectifying men, sharing and reading books which helps us in a small way to escape for a little bit.
