Did you always want to be a blogger? What made you decide to start up?

I actually started blogging to secure a place on my University Degree, I had no idea what a ‘blogger’ even was, I didn’t even really realise that people even wrote blogs back then!

Do you ever get writers block and how do you get past it?

To be honest, no, I always tend to make sure I’m doing something fun, whether that’s a cute walk, a nice dinner or just take my camera anywhere with me to make some nice content. I always end up coming up with too much content actually! If you do have writers block though, it’s always good to go back through your blog and look at what posts went down well and maybe do an updated post for example, this months make up bag or, an updated daily make up routine!

What’s your favourite healthy meal?

I absolutely adore healthy, home-made chicken burgers with sweet potato fries! Finished up with some sweet potato brownies!

What is one health tip you live by?

Balance is key. I live by the 80/20 rule and I will never give up pizza! Health is a lifestyle choice, it’s not a fad, it’s something you do every day! You have to make it part of your routine.

Do you have a favourite workout?

I love spinning classes, they’re intense and they burn fat quickly whilst toning too! I’m a lover of HIIT!

Where would you most like to travel to?

I need to go to the maldives or Australia!

If you could describe yourself as a cocktail, which would you choose and why?

I’d say a mojito! Mojitos are fruity and relaxing!

What are your goals for the rest of the year?

I need to finish my degree, walk away with a good grade and then I can really focus on working with amazing photographers to up my content game!

What is your proudest moment?

Probably winning the Cosmopolitan Newcomer award or being chosen to work with adidas on their Summer fitness campaigns!

Where is your favourite place to go in London?

Sketch, their cocktails and afternoon tea are the dream!
