Jessika and I met each other at the event and I was so happy to spend more time with her.

She has quickly become one of my bffs I met through YouTube and I just adore her!

I love her striped dress! Marina wore a gorgeous sequined dress, channeling in the look of old Hollywood.

I was unable to take pictures with many friends because I didn't have my amazing husband to take pictures.

Also, my camera is still new and I took so many blurry shots, but thanks to an email from BFVA I was able to use some pictures from photographer Frances Lacuzzi! Thank you so much for your images!

I had Ardell #110 lashes applied on and they looked extremely natural and quite comfortable too!

The highlight of the evening was finally meeting HOLLY! Ever since I knew of YouTube I have been one of her biggest fans! :) She is so influential in my beauty purchases! I find myself buying various foundations and lipsticks from her valuable videos and advice on Youtube. She's so model-esque and her skin is absolutely flawless!

I also got to see Dulce! I get sooo happy to see her! She is one of the most beautiful and nicest YouTubers I have ever had the opportunity to meet. She is my fitness inspiration, the reason why I am attempting Insanity. Boy oh boy I'm 2 days into it and my muscle hurt and I am limping everywhere with muscle aches! Unfortunately I did not get a picture with her with my camera although I thought I did I checked my camera and there was no picture to be found.

Aside from the fun beauty services we listened to guest speakers in the marketing and YouTube industry.

The appetizers were delicious!

Before the night ended I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Sam Levine of Flying Monkeys entertainment and I learned so much from him about improving one's YouTube channel.

I learned that ideally YouTube videos should be 3-5 minutes.

I really should have brought a notebook, but I forgot to bring it!

We left with a heavy goodie bag filled with fantastic products!!!

Last, but not least I managed to take pictures of my kitty Sunrise with my new Canon T3i! I'm so happy to have quality pictures of my babies! Next time I will share pictures of my other cats Charlie and Bobbie.
