For those of you who don’t know, I belong to one of the largest fashion and beauty-focused networks on YouTube, and I love being part of such an amazing community. That’s why when StyleHaul announced they were doing a San Francisco meetup, I made sure my calendar was blocked off for some quality networking and fun. The icing on the cake was hearing that the event was going to be held at theBalm – its only brick and mortar shop – in the heart of the Mission. I had last visited the store for its grand opening, which was an absolute blast. YouTuber FashionByAlly was our local host for the evening, and she was so sweet. I also met theBalm’s national makeup artist, Keira Rowland, and had a major fangirl moment after admiring her work on Instagram for a long time!

All in all, it was a grand time! Meeting inspiring YouTubers always reinvigorates my creativity. I can’t wait to work on some video collaborations with some of my new friends. Can’t wait for the next meetup!
