Meeting Vanessa Hudgens | Caliwater Meet & Greet

When I found out Vanessa Hudgens was going to be doing a meet and greet just a few blocks away from an event I had to attend later the same evening, it felt like it was a sign that I needed to go! I’ve been a huge fan of Vanessa’s since her High School Musical days, so to say this was a long time coming would be a huge understatement!

Vanessa was doing three meet and greets all around LA in promotion of her water brand, Caliwater. I attended the Boisson location, and I was surprised by how chill the crowd was! There must’ve been maybe 50-60 people total in line, which I thought might have been attributed to the fact that she was only going to be at this location for probably an hour or so before heading to her last meet and greet of the day at 5pm.

Vanessa is just as beautiful and sweet as I had imagined she would be! I was a little nervous because I’ve looked up to her for so many years (and she’s one of my favorite style icons). I got to thank her for representing the AAPI community and told her that because my parents grew up in the Philippines (if you didn’t know, she is half Filipina), getting to meet her really meant a lot to me.

It was also a nice surprise getting to meet Vanessa’s boyfriend (and baseball player) Cole Tucker, who was there to support her. He was also very kind and let me snap a quick photo with him!

I’ve been having a bit of a tough week this week, so getting to meet Vanessa really helped lift my spirits!
