My 11 answers:

1. What do you wish for your blog in the next 2 years?

In the next two years I would love to have a good amount of followers who regularly read my blog. Also I wish that I am still uploading consistently, if anything more than now. But most of all I hope that my readers, be there a large group or just a hand full, still enjoying reading my content.

2. What is your favourite thing about blogging?

This is such a hard question. When I sat down to think about this one I had so many things flying around my head. I love everything about blogging. But if I am going to pinpoint a certain thing it would have to be that it gives me the chance to share what I love with people all over the world. Also that I get the chance to speak and get to know people all over the world. This has opened up so many amazing opportunities for me to chat with people all across the world, and for that I cant be more thankful.

3. If you could only shop one brand (clothing) what would it be?

For this one it would definitely have to be Next. I only own a few items of clothing from Next but they are some of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe.

4. Who is your favourite blogger?

Amy from Pamperedprune. Please go check her out, her blog is truly incredible.

5. What is your best blog post? (Link it in your answer)

This would probably be my "My Top 5 Beauty Products" post. Which you can find here.  

6. How have you grown your blog in the past?

In the past I have grown my blog by posting about new blog posts on Twitter, Instagram, Google+ and Pinterest.

7. What was you biggest beauty mistake that you have learned from?

OMG this one would definitely be fake tan. I use to be terrible at applying it, we are talking orange and streaky. I soon learnt how to do it properly when I done tanning at college (I done a hair and beauty studies diploma when I was at high school). Now my tan nearly always looks flawless.

8. Is there anything you would change about your blog? What would it be?

I guess at the moment the only thing I would change is I would love to post more frequently (more than once a week). Also I would love if I could improve my photography skills.

9. Who is your fashion and beauty inspiration?

This would definitely be Julianne Hough. She just is stunning and always looks incredible.

10. What were your new year resolutions for 2016? Have you kept them?

I had quite a few New Years resolutions I wanted to achieve this year. Some of them would be:

- Clean make-up brushes everyday.

- Eat more healthy.

- Drink more water.

- Say "yes" more.

I haven't achieved all of my resolutions yet but by the end of year I hope to have them all done. You can check out all my New Years resolutions here.

11. What was the coolest thing that ever happened to you?
