Interview with Zee!!

Evening Cuties!

Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as much as I am :) Today I have a lovely interview with Zainab aka Zee to share with you all. Enjoy!

1. When and why did you first start blogging? I started blogging on January 2012. I have been wanting to do tutorials on YouTube for a while, but couldn’t get up the courage to do so. Then I discovered the world of blogging and fell in love with it.

2. What do you like most about blogging? I love everything about blogging. I wake up in the morning and just start reading blog Posts. It has become my addiction. It is amazing how everyone can have a different perspective on things.

3. Is there anything you dislike about blogging? Not really, everything about it is a whole new experience.

4. What do you think of my blog? Your blog is wonderful, when I first found your blog I couldn’t stop reading. I even put you in my blog roll so I wouldn't forget your website. Your blog posts are so entertaining.

5. Who/what inspires your blog? My inspiration comes from everything around me. It could be something I read or pictures I take or even celebrities

 6. What do you use to take pictures for your blog? I use my Sony Super steady shot DSC-T70. I can’t live without it.

 7. Do you or would you work with pr companies? Yea I would love to work with PR companies, as long as they are ready to respect my opinion, whatever it maybe. I also would never want to work with a PR company that isn’t targeted at my readers.

8. Do you or intend to hold giveaways on your blog? Absolutely, I am planning to hold one when I reach 50 or more followers. I think it’s necessary to give back to people that spend time reading what you have to say.

Interview with Rachael!

Afternoon Sweeties!

Happy Thursday :) Another week has gone by so you know what that means? Another blogger interview! Today I would like to introduce you all to the lovely Rachael from Island Girl Insights ♥ FYI One of my most favourite blogs :)

1. When and why did you first start blogging? I started blogging in August 2010! I really liked the idea of keeping a diary, but I'm rubbish at handwritten ones, I always forget about them after a few days. I thought that blogging would be a great way to get my thoughts down on "paper" and to keep a record of what I've been doing.

2. What do you like most about blogging? I really love sharing the things I love and finding other people who love them too! I think the blogging community is so friendly and supportive. I can't ask for better friends than some of those I've made through blogging.

3. Is there anything you dislike about blogging? I think sometimes it feels like a lot of time and effort goes into blogging, with little or no return. That's really only when I've lost my mojo though - or when I have a tonne of work to do and I put it off so I can blog instead!!

4. What do you think of my blog? I love your blog! I've been following since you started out and you always seem to have great tips and tricks that I'd never heard of before. I love your reviews too - always have me wanting to spend money I don't have!

5. Who/what inspires your blog? Really I'd have to say myself! I'm a firm believer in being your own person no matter what, so if I get the urge to write about my video game obsession or my penchant for all things Dr Who then I'll just do it! I want my blog to reflect exactly who I am, inside and out! :)

6. What do you use to take pictures for your blog? I used to use my trusty little Samsung SL202 - it was perfect for me! It was recently dropped by a friend who was a little tipsy and no longer works :( I'm so sad!! I really want a DSLR, but I'm a poor student :'(

7. Do you or would you work with pr companies? I don't at the moment but I'm perfectly happy to. I won't write reviews on things that don't relate to me or my blog somehow and I won't write a positive review if I think something is rubbish!

8. Do you or intend to hold giveaways on your blog? I've already had a couple, but I don't want people joining my blog just for giveaways! Quality not quantity! :)

Thanks for letting me take part lovely xxxx

You're sooo welcome hunnie, thanks for allowing me to interview you :)

I'm not looking to interview anyone else at the moment, as I have a couple still lined up and then I shall be taking a break to make new interview questions etc.

The bloke behind the beauty blogger!!!

Hello my lovelies!

Hope you all had a fab weekend! Today I have something a little bit different for you all - an interview with my fella! I saw a similar tag thing on Nail Laquer Addict and just tweaked it abit for my own purposes hehe :p Enjoy ladies and gents!

Please introduce yourself.

Hello there, I am Phil O'Brien and I am engaged to Tiffeny.

Okay, that was easy-ish. Now for some more probing questions. What do you think about the fact that your fiancee has a beauty blog and is obsessed with all things beauty?

It's what she likes doing, as long as she is happy with it so am I.

What is your favorite color polish that she has worn?

A while back she did her nails black and white, using those cracked-effect polishes, after I had given her the idea :p We nicknamed it 'the twilight look'

Do you happen to know the name of that polish or is it just a colour to you?

Dont have a clue, but the black one was from superdrug and the white one was from boyes ...

What's the craziest thing you've done for your partner in the name of her beauty obsession?

Had a manicure and let her pluck my eyebrows (ouch!!)

What are the benefits, if any in your opinion, of having a fiancee that has a beauty obsession?

She keeps herself in tiptop shape.

What are the most annoying things, if any in your opinion, of having a lady that has a beauty obsession?

Taking 6 hours to get ready.

What makeup and fashion products do you like on your girl?

Turn around, give your head a wobble and come back to me with a sensible question! Makeup is makeup.

Here's your opportunity to win over the hearts and hands of hundreds of girls: say something nice about your fiancee.

She is amazing and I will stand by her no matter what because I love her <3 xxxxxxx

Okay now that this is concluding, any last thoughts or comments you'd like your girl's readers to know about her?

Please just keep following her blog, as I think she's doing an amazing job and she cant do all this without the support of you lot :)

Aww what a cutie eh?! ♥

Feel free to pinch this for your own man to fill in, just make sure you leave me links so I can have a read (and giggle!!)

Interview with Sera!

Hey Everyone!

Today I would like to introduce you all to the beautiful Sera from The Agoraphobic Fashionista :)

Questions

1. When and why did you first start blogging?
I started blogging about a year ago when I started Slimming World as I was a size 26/28 and needed motivation to stay on track. Whilst that was my first daliance with blogging it wasn't until November 2011 that I started The Agoraphobic Fashionista Blog. After reaching a size 12 and rediscovering or discovering a passion for fashion and beauty I suddenly found I'd nobody to revel in the fun of it all as I'm Bi-polar and Agoraphobic. I don't go out much or at all really. So it's a great theraputic exercise for me.

2. What do you like most about blogging?
The people I've met through The Agoraphobic Fashionista have been so incredibly lovely and supportive it's such a pleasure to know them and the feedback has been wonderful. It's just simply wonderful to know that people are reading about my antics!

3. Is there anything you dislike about blogging?

I do get self conscious sometimes and my husband has to pick my pictures as I still have a hard time looking at them, another great reason for actually blogging it does go a little way to restoring self esteem, I thoroughly recommend it!

4. What do you think of my blog?
It's one of my first reads of a morning :D A firm favourite on my blogger reader. It's bright, informative and easy to read.

5. Who/what inspires your blog?
Gosh, that's a hard one. The inspiration for starting the blog was the blogging community Sugafix and the N.I. Blogging Network FABB (Fashion and Beauty Bloggers)

6. What do you use to take pictures for your blog?
Sometimes my camera phone (the shame!!!) and sometimse I use my FujiFilm FinePix S5800 Digital Camera my parents bought me and I don't use nearly enough :S

7. Do you or would you work with pr companies?
I don't at present, I haven't yet been approached but it would be absolutely lovely I'm sure! I'm definitely open to it.

8. Do you or intend to hold giveaways on your blog?
I love a giveaway! For me, entering Giveaways and sometimes winning result in blog posts I wouldn't be able to do due to parental financial constraints. Yes! I'm a mummy :D I have held one Giveaway on my blog and another on my Facebook Page where I fully intend holding a little mini giveaway on the 20th of every month until September (wohooo!)

Blog:The Rockabilly Girl Next Door, blogged by one of my new found best twitter pals, Nadia. She's Norwegian and she's the funniest person I know!

Website: EBAY! :D

Magazine: It would have to be a local magazine named Local Women which I started a writing a column for in February. I'm pleasantly suprised just how professional it looks for a local mag and truly enjoy reading it from cover to cover.
Food: ooo I LOVE FOOD! Couldn't possibly start narrowing it down but... I'm dreaming in pizza at the moment!
Film: Gone With The Wind. Without a doubt.
Music: Vivaldi. It tugs at my heart strings every time!

Interview with Angela-Marie!!!

Hello Lovelies!

It's that time of the week again, interview time! Today I would like to introduce you to the beautiful Angela-Marie from The Beauty Belle :)

Questions

1. When and why did you first start blogging?

I started in about August 2011, so not THAT long ago really, it feels like a lot longer!! And i had an urge to for a long time before then because i've been a big fan of reading blogs for a while and i'm such a beauty addict, it was just quite daunting to start with, thinking would anyone like it/read it, but luckily everyone's been so wonderful to me! So i'd say if you're thinking of doing one then do it! Everyone is really so lovely :)

2. What do you like most about blogging?

All the lovely comments from my followers :) And it makes me feel better about my sometimes excessive spending!

3. Is there anything you dislike about blogging?

oooh...not that i can think of to be honest!! It's very fun for me and that's why i do it, if it wasn't fun or i started to dislike it i'd stop.

4. What do you think of my blog?

I think it's great, very well laid out, a clean and simple design but still personal and you get the feeling it's a friend talking to you about products rather than a reviewer!

5. Who/what inspires your blog?

I guess i inspire my blog! What i feel like doing, what i'm loving lately, and also my followers too, without them it'd just be me blogging to myself, which would make me mad! haha.

6. What do you use to take pictures for your blog?

Olympus VG-120, in bright blue!

7. Do you or would you work with pr companies?

As long as it's a product that ties in with the theme of my blog and they were prepared for me to give a honest review, warts and all! I have dealt with some before and they've all been very understanding about that.

8. Do you or intend to hold giveaways on your blog?

I held one when i reached 100 followers, it was a lovely experience of giving something back :)
