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!)
