I love this vlog! So good to finally meet you in person too 💚💚💚

You too!!

Thanks Josie, I loved this 'intro' for me to Verve. There are so many great tips and I relished your authentic transparent lens. I live in London, so I hope to make the next one. I resonated with Charades and admired how you put it all together! 👏🏾

[@JosieAlfordPoet]

Thank you 😊 maybe I'll see you there next year!

How lovely to be reminded of a wonderful weekend! Good luck with the launch! ❤️

[@JosieAlfordPoet]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@ceribakerwords]

Ah thanks for this! I couldn’t make the event so this gave me a great flavour and a big push to ring fence it in the planner for next year 👌💥

[@JosieAlfordPoet]

Oooh I'm glad you liked it! I'll see you there next year
