So I thought for my first blog I would use it to talk about what inspired me to do this. I love blogs... I love hearing peoples opinions, even if they differ from mine, I love to see what people are doing in the world, and if I'd like to do it too. I love to learn new life style tips, restaurants to try, clothes to buy, memes to laugh at and say, "omg that is soooo me!!". I just love it.
And so, imagine my joy, when a couple of weekends ago one of my ALL TIME FAVE bloggers had an opening event for their new shop... Scouse Bird. Scouse Bird to me is everything a blog should be. Number one; she is hilarious (her 10 things you know if you go to slimming world is pure LOL). She is informative, she is sassy, she is honest, she writes well and she really keeps in touch and on the pulse of all her followers. If Scouse Bird likes something, I know I will too, and that I can trust her opinion, and that is what I love from a blogger.
So!!! When I arrived at the Scouse Bird Shop I found myself actually giddy. In my eyes she is a celeb, and OMG I am going to meet her #BeCool. The first thing I saw was the sign on the side of the road, there, was Scouse Birds grid in all it's glory. It's worth mentioning that this might not always have been possible, as she used to be anonymous (something I will steal from her), but at that moment I was thrilled she had "come out".
A lovely man then led us up to the Scouse Bird shop... I heard it before I saw it... "All the Single Ladies" - blasting down the corridors... YESSSSSS, this was Scouse Bird all over, I was already not at all disappointed! Then there it was, massive silver balloons spelling out "Scouse Bird" and a meeter and greeter handing out red wines, Prosecco, jelly beans and THE nicest cupcakes I have EVER tried.
I then got in the shop. It was all there, everything I had ever seen her mention in her blog, and I could buy it ALL (and I nearly did, see attached pics!) In utter Scouse Bird style, you have the option of taking a selfie in front of her selfie wall, uploading it to social media with your location and getting 10% off (obvs I did this, but couldn't stand having my ugly mug on here... the horror).
THEN I saw her!!! Like I've said, she is a celeb in my eyes, and just couldn't believe she was here, running a shop and ringing up everyone's orders. Corrie? TOWIE? Chelsea? I couldn't care less about any of those stars... But Scouse Bird Blogs is pure GOALS. We passed pleasantries while I tried to act totes not phased as she scanned my buys, and I didn't act bothered when she said she liked my name (I died), and then I casually left... I got in my car happy as KEN, eating a cupcake and feeling proper proper Scouse :)
