Meet the ECMeetUp speaker: Lyle Scritten of Travelstart
I’m not going to lie to ya, when it comes to ECMeetUp, I totally get my thrills just by sitting in a room full of bloggers and influencers who probably understand the crazy going on in my head. I mean, we love talking “shop”, right Bloggers?! And we love learning about the latest influencer trends – the what’s hots and what’s nots, if you will. Well, this is why the ECMeetUp team is so excited to welcome speaker Lyle Scritten of Travelstart to our 2018 ECMeetUp panel. You guys, Lyle knows what’s up.

#ECMeetUp – The good, the great and the food
ECMeetUp has come and gone and I’m still reeling at how amazing the people of Nelson Mandela Bay are. I’m not trying to butter you guys up, but PE bloggers, you guys are literally the nicest group of people I’ve met in like, the history of like, people, and stuff. Needless to say, the meet up was probably one of our best, no doubt probably due to the amazingness of Sarah, Ralph and The Boma team. They make us look good. There, I said it. So, after all of the gushing, let me proceed to tell you what went down at #ECMeetUp this past Saturday . Well, for starters, the…

Five reasons why you should come to our 2017 #ECMeetUp mini meet!
And we’re at it again. Miss JustEllaBella (okay that’s not really her name) and I are busy prepping and planning to give you the best 2017 #ECMeetUp mini meet this side of town! “But Luchae, what is a mini meet?” I hear you ask.

ECMeetUp recap – Of unicorn horns and decadent pancakes
So we’re still reeling after having the best #ECMeetUp 2017 this side of the century! Yes, I am still pregnant – even though going into labor at a blogger conference would probably have made the event go viral (hello Facebook Live). But nope, my kid is still happily tucked away in moms tummy. He enjoyed all the amazing food that Ralph and Sarah, of The Plantation, fed our faces with. Uh can you say decadent pancakes (with just about every topping!) and a breakfast that made me feel as if I should have a title infront of my name (Lady Lu sounds good, right?) We were also blown away by…
