Blogmas Day 16: Blogger Interviews #3

It's round three of my little "Blogger Interviews" series, and today I'm going to be interviewing Naomi from Pennies for a Pound and Alicia from The Beauty-Journals.

Tell me a little bit about your blog

My blog is about finding top brands for less or cheaper alternatives. I do most the typical beauty posts such as 'empties' or favourites but I don't really include expensive products in any of them, so it's great for people on a budget, students or people who just prefer those kind of high street products!
  What inspired you to create a blog?

I've always loved to watch beauty gurus on youtube, but they always seem to have all the products I can't afford. I wanted to see something that was dedicated to cheaper products, so I decided to start one myself.

What is your favourite thing about writing your blog?

I love to write about finding dupes of products or finding the bigger brands for a lot less. It helps people save a bit of money and shows them how to save money by looking around for deals.
Who is your favourite blogger at the moment?

I don't have an overall favourite right at the moment, but I've always loved Affordable treats by Louise, really great posts about high street products! 
 Which of your blog posts are you most proud of and why?

My post about a christian holiday camp I went on this year. Its been seen by an editor of a christian magazine and is going to be published in their november/december issue! so happy  
Do you have any blogging goals for 2014?

Just take it as it comes. Hopefully reach 100 follows at some point, but I just want to see how it all goes!

    

  

Tell me a little bit about your blog

I would say my blog is a mixture inbetween fashion and beauty. Eventually I want to focus mainly on beauty but I don't currently have to funds too. I absolutely love writing blog posts and I've loved taking pictures with my camera! I try to put as much effort in my blog as I can and I hope it comes across in my blog. 

What inspired you to create a blog?

I was always interested in blogs and youtubers. At first I was inbetween the idea of YouTube and blogging, and I decided blogging! I love fashion and beauty so much I just wanted to share my views etc.

What is your favourite thing about writing your blog?

I absolutely love putting different looks together and writing posts on them. Aswell as this I love the opportunities blogging gives me, for instance, if I didn't blog I wouldn't know so many people I know now, and I wouldn't be writing this now.

Who is your favourite blogger at the moment?

Obviously I love the big bloggers/youtubers like Zoella, SprinkleofGlitter etc. But Ive absolutely been loving Fleur Danielle's blog (http://fleurdanielle.blogspot.co.uk/) since I found it a few months ago! Of course I love blogs love yours too!

Which of your blog posts are you most proud of and why?

I love my Halloween series posts (here's one http://thebeauty-journals.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/my-halloween-look-halloween-series_28.html )because I've never done a mini series before. I really enjoyed writing it and I also receive a lot of positivist feedback!
I also loved this post (http://thebeauty-journals.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/loreal-pairs-nude-magique-eau-de-teint.html ) on a foundation that I bought. I enjoyed trying out the foudation and also I think the images I took came out well!
 

Do you have any blogging goals for 2014?

I would love to have a giveaway and create some sort of list of things I want to complete in a period of time. I think the post is called '101 things in 1,001 days.' I would also love to work out how to edit html codes if anyone knows how I am all ears.

Thank you so much Naomi and Alicia for letting me interview you!

 
 Lots of Love Chloe xxx
