Happy Monday babes!! I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend. It was cold and rainy here, so I spent a lot of time cozied up inside getting work done! So I’ve been getting a lot of questions from you all lately, and since I’ve never done a Q&A before I thought it was about time! I re-worded a couple of the questions if I got a few very similar ones from different people. But this should cover everything. Ok here we go 🙂

Q: What made you start blogging? A: It was kind of an impulse decision. Blogging is never something that I saw myself doing, but I was at a point in my life where I needed a “project” to work on. I love learning new things, and since blogging (and putting myself out there to the public) was TOTALLY out of my comfort zone, I decided to just go for it and see what would happen. So glad I did!!

Q: What is your day job? A: I currently work in sales operations for a technology distributor. I’ve been with the company for over 5 years now.  Before this, I was a flight attendant!

Q: What curling iron do you use? A: I have been using this wand for YEARS! I am pretty sure this was a random Target purchase back in college, but I have been using it ever since and it still works great!

Q: What has helped the most with your blog? A: Consistency! The more frequently I post on the blog or on Instagram, the better it seems to do.

Q: What do you love most about blogging? A: This is such a hard question, because there are SO many things that I love about blogging!! If I had to pick one… It would be the connections I have made with other bloggers and with my readers. I love that there is this “blogging community” where we can connect with each other.

Q: Would you ever do YouTube? A: YES! I love watching YouTube and I am definitely planning to start a channel. I’m in the process of researching it now because I have no idea where to start! If anyone has tips for me, please send them my way!!

Q: How long have you been blogging? A: Since June 2017! A little less than one year.

Q: What is your inspiration? A: What inspires me the most is being a resource for my readers. Whether it’s fashion, cooking, workout, or life related.. I love getting to know you all and when someone tells me that I’ve helped them out in some way, it makes everything worth it!

Q: What is your favorite breakfast? A: Avocado eggs benedict! Toast an english muffin then top it with avocado and poached eggs. So easy and so good!!

Q: How do you juggle blogging and posting with everyday life and responsibilities? A: I wrote a whole blog post about this! But to sum it up – I do most of my “blog work” on the weekends (since I work full time M-F) and lots of planning!

Q: Who is your fashion icon? A: I have been trying to come up with an answer to this question for the longest time and I honestly don’t know! Sorry!

Q: What is your diet and workout routine? A1: Workout routine: My routine has been a bit off lately, but normally I do strength training (weights/circuits) 3-4 times per week and cardio once per week. For cardio I usually do about 30 mins on the stair master.  A2: Diet: I try to eat healthy most of the time. I don’t restrict anything.

Q: Do you purchase designer items from stores or from Tradesy? A: I’ve always bought designer items from the store or from the designer’s direct website. If I’m going to be spending the money, I like to get the full experience haha.

Q: How did you start blogging? A: Like I mentioned earlier, it was an impulse decision. Here’s the (very) short version: I came up with a blog name, then I made a “blog Instagram” account (separate from my personal IG) and started posting to it. Then I made the website, wrote a post, and went live. And now here we are!

Q: Have you always lived in Greenville? A: Pretty much! I grew up in Greenville and went to Clemson for college. After I graduated, I lived in Philly for a year and then Charlotte for a couple of years. Now I am back in Greenville!

Q: Are you a Clemson fan? A: Oh yes!! Go Tigers!

Q: Who takes your pictures? A: My mom takes most of them! She has been doing sports photography for years, so I am super thankful that she is willing to spend so much time taking my blog photos (and teaching me how to use LightRoom!!)

Q: Advice on growing Instagram? A: Post consistently, post quality content, and engage as much as possible with readers and other bloggers!

Q: What apps do you use? A: This is such a broad question because there are so many, but here are a few blog related apps that I use on a daily basis:

• Instagram (duh!)
• RewardStyle (this is where I link my photos so you can shop them on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app
• Light Room (photo editing)
• SnapSeed (photo editing)
• Preview (to plan my Instagram feed in advance)
• LIKEtoKNOW.it (for shopping)
• Facebook (I don’t have a FB page for my blog yet, but I am in a few blogger groups that I read through daily)
• Twitter (I love that Twitter is SO low key compared to Instagram! I love following bloggers who will tweet whatever is on their mind.)

WHEW! That was a lot. I hope this was informative 🙂 If you have any follow up questions, feel free to put them in the comments below and I will be sure to answer them! Thank you to everyone who sent in questions – This was fun! And I love learning about what interests you all. Thanks for reading!!
