Why should people read your blog? What makes it different? It’s a mixture of fashion, beauty, fitness, travel and personal experiences. It’s different because I open up about personal topics whilst drenching the blog with sun, lovely food and obviously fashion and beauty!

How do you measure the success of your website? Audience engagement, it’s great to talk to my lovely readers.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a blog? You are your niche – there’s only one you!

How do you work with marketers and PRs? Generally they email me and we start a relationship from there.

How do you use social media to promote and share content? What are the challenges? I use all social channels to promote things, generally my blog. The challenges are that it’s 24/7 but it’s great!

What can PRs do in working better with you? Understanding that work takes a lot of time!

What has been your blogging highlight? Winning InStyle magazine top lifestyle and travel blogger

What will be big in your blogosphere in the coming months? Hopefully lots of exciting winter things!
