The Bloggers Snail Mail is
back!! Wahoo! After taking a little hiatus last year, due to becoming a little
disillusioned with blogging and bloggers and seriously not feeling the love, I
am bringing it back! I’ve met so many awesome bloggers through this project and
want it to continue in 2016 so spread the word, tell all your friends, let’s
make this a round to remember!
So here is how it works: A quarterly gift exchange where you can meet other bloggers from around the world and spread a bit of positivity! People get paired up in February, May, August and November. During the sign up period, every participant will be paired with one other new participant and you’ll spend a few weeks becoming BFFs (i.e. reading each other’s blogs, sending happy e-mails, you name it!). After that, you’ll send your partner a gift from your country that you think they may like from the info you now know about them. There’s a £5 limit on the gifts to make this project as affordable as possible. Be as creative as you can and make it meaningful! Motivate them, tell them all the beautiful things you learned about them, and make them feel special! We could all use a little encouragement, especially from our new friends. Also, each package should include a postcard (or a letter if you can’t find one!) with some motivating love or positive words of wisdom written all over it.

So to sign up for the ‘The
Bloggers Snail Mail’ you just need to send an email to
whatsinyourmakeupbag@gmail.com, title it ‘The Bloggers Snail Mail’ and include
in it your name, where you are from, and your blog! Sign ups will be
open until the Friday 29th January. I will then randomly match
you all up aiming to make sure you are with someone from another country or at
least in another area from you! I will then let you know by Monday 1st
February who your partner is and you then have 4 weeks to get to know them! So
the week of the 7th March, you can then send your new buddy their
Snail Mail!

gifts, write a blog post about your experience, sharing what you gave,
received, and learnt through this being part of this and meeting your new pal.
