1. What’s
your name & blog name?
2. Give
a little introduction about yourself:
I’m absolutely terrible at these ‘introduce yourself’ questions. Or
perhaps that’s an introduction in itself. “Hi, I’m Rachel, and I can’t tell you
about myself.”
I’m twenty and in my third and final year of a law degree, about to
embark in the big wide world. I bake a lot, read and write a lot and adore
driving and discovering new places.
3. What
inspired you to blog and your blog name?
I’m an avid writer, which is why I tend to find writing the easiest
aspect of my blog. It’s because of this love of writing and seeing my words in
print for others to see, that I decided to start a blog. I have so much to say
and so many ideas in my head, that blogging became a natural progression.
Something that I hadn’t expected to inspire me to blog, because I am
possibly the least artistic person you will ever meet, was the blog designs.
There are so many great blogs out there with beautiful designs that it really
inspired me to choose blogging as a medium to express my words.
4. What’s
your blog focus on and what do you love blogging about?
My blog focuses primarily on lifestyle and
beauty. I originally set it up as purely a beauty blog with snippets of
lifestyle but lately I’ve been focusing on lifestyle a little more.
What I love about lifestyle blogging is the
impossibly wide array of topics to talk about. Everyone’s lifestyle is
different, whether you choose to talk about suggestions and ideas, things
you’ve bought, or follow me around lifestyle blogs – everyone brings a little
something different to the term ‘lifestyle’ blogging. I’m loving the ‘follow me
around’ lifestyle concept at the moment – I feel like it really brings the
reader into your world, in fact, one of my favourite blogs is Rosie at The Londoner although my posts are never quite as glamorous
as hers!
As for beauty blogging, I’m going to go out on
a limb and assume that we’ve all had that moment where you use a product and
it’s amazing/diabolical and you really need to talk about it. That’s the part
of beauty blogging I love the most. New products are always exciting but it’s
when you have genuine feelings (an odd term I know!) about a product, that’s
when I love writing about them.
5. What’s
your biggest passion?
Travelling. It doesn’t even have to be far or exotic. I love journeys,
whether it be car journeys or train journeys – and getting lost in a city or
town that I’m unfamiliar with and taking in the lifestyle of those local to the
area.
6. You’ve
been given 20 minutes to shop for whatever you want! What do you buy?
Off the top of my head, Apple TV. It’ll make viewing things from my
iPhone to the TV so much easier, rather than relying on HDMI cables. I have
cables coming out of my ears at the moment. I guess I’m a pragmatist at heart,
I’d rather have something useful than something pretty which I’ll change my
mind about a few weeks later ;)
7. 4
things you want to accomplish in 2014?
-
Attaining
a graduate job. Applications have started already so I’m putting my time
towards that.
-
Travel
more. I don’t have a lot of time for out of the country travelling at the
moment but I’m looking forward to more road trips with my little car!
-
Spend more
time on my blog. I have a schedule of about once a week/every four days at the
moment but I’m hoping to invest more time in that.
-
Read more
classics. I adore classic books and I’ve got a list I’m planning on getting
through this year, I’m hoping I can stay on target to get them all finished!
8. What’s
a must buy that you recommend to everyone? (It can be anything)
I think I’m going to have to cheat on this question because I’ve
definitely got more than one (whoops)…
Beauty: MAC’s Patisserie lipstick. It’s one of those ‘your lips but better’
shades and it’s the first lipstick where I’ve swiped it on and fell in love
straight away (and then had to track down because it was seemingly sold out everywhere).
Tech: My iPhone. It handles everything in my life with perfect
efficiency, is so simple to use and is designed beautifully. My biggest gripe
with it is the terrible battery life but other than that, definitely a must
buy.
Fashion: Zara Office City
Bag. I remember
this being so hyped up a while back and with good reason. It’s an excellent
size, carries all my bits and pieces and just looks so chic. I’ve gotten so
much use out of this bag; I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again, although I don’t
actually know if they still stock it.

You
can find me on:
enjoyed reading this, i agree with you on travelling, it's so nice to explore new places, even if they're not miles away, even seeing a new town just down the road is exciting enough to explore. good luck with your graduate applications, they can be so difficult but i hope they all go well for you! x
