Questions from Catherine:

1.What made you start blogging?

I have a degree in PR but currently don’t work in that industry so wanted to keep up my writing skills. I also have an unhealthy obsession with beauty and my friend Milly suggested I do it to pass on tips.

2. What beauty product could you not live without?

Hair Oil… does that count as it’s for your hair? Not really fussy on brands have tried loads, from high end to drugstore and love them all. All I know is, I could not get a brush through my hair without it. LOVE!

3. Is there anything you dislike about blogging?

Have to be honest, I haven’t been blogging for long at all and so far no, I love it all!

4. What was your childhood ambition?

To work in Tesco! I was obsessed with scanning and having a shop.

5. Do you have a guilty pleasure? What is it?

Sugar! I have far too much and need to seriously nip it in the bud but no matter the mood I celebrate with food mainly sugar!

6. What do you wish you'd known when you first began blogging?

The time constraints. Not only does it take a long time to write posts and take photos and edit, but the promotion of your blog was something I really overlooked. I love twitter but I find I need to be active all the time and use social media to interact which I love but it takes up a lot of time.

7. Who are your favourite bloggers? Why are they your favourites?

I love Grace from the graciefancessca.com and also Shirley from shirleyswardrobe.com. Mainly because they post a lot of fashion as well as beauty and I find that’s what I need more help with as I’m rubbish at throwing together outfits.

8. How many hours do you procrastinate a day on average?

I would say at least 2 but on a good day 3 ;)

9. You have 3 wishes, what are they?

For my home town to be round the corner from Liverpool with all my friends and family from home in it.

To have my dream job, working doing PR and marketing for beauty or fashion brands.

To not worry as much as I do, all the time.

10. What is your favourite thing to do?

Be with my family and friends and laugh.

11. What one piece of advice would you give a blogger just starting out?

Write about what you know and write in your own voice.
