How tall are you and what size do you wear?
I am 5'4", and I wear a UK size 6-8 depending on the brand! For bra sizes I currently wear a 34C.
What is your ethnicity?
I am half Italian (my dad) and half Irish (my mom). I grew up speaking both Italian and English. My mom is also half German but she grew up in Ireland and pretty much all of her family are Irish so I usually just leave that out as it tends to confuse people! I was born in Baltimore, Maryland and then moved to Ireland when I was 7. I've also lived in Italy, Germany and the UK.
What is your hair colour, and how do you style your hair?
My current hair colour is basically its natural shade, a light brown/dark blonde. When I get it cut, I ask for long layers all round with a few face-framing layers in the front. If I don't leave it naturally wavy I generally curl it (you can check out my tutorial here).
What is your skincare routine?
You can watch my video on my current skincare routine for oily/combination skin here.

What's your daily diet/exercise routine?
I eat what I want, I just eat smaller portions. It's actually a wonderfully simple way of eating! I have a sweet tooth though so I always leave room for dessert! I became a vegetarian in October 2011 and when I got pregnant in January I decided to incorporate fish back into my diet. I also walk my dogs almost everyday for about 30 minutes and do a very basic aerobics routine which I have made a video on here!
What kind of camera do you use?
I use my Canon Vixia HF21 for recording videos and for taking blog photos I use a Canon 550D.
How did you get your blog to be so popular? Any advice for new bloggers?
Well, obviously having my YouTube channel helps a lot because I always link back to my blog in almost every video. But other than that, I think it's a combination of a few things. First and foremost you need interesting content. Don't blog about something that you're not passionate about because it will come across as insincere. Only blog about what you truly love and are interested in writing about! Second, good quality pictures are a must. Invest in a good camera and do some research on basic lighting, Photoshop, focus/depth of field. Your readers want to be stimulated visually when they visit your blog, so make sure your pictures compliment your writing! Thirdly, add your own personal twist to things. Don't just copy what other bloggers do, make it your own. For example, I don't really consider my blog a style or beauty blog, it's more of a lifestyle/everything blog! I don't put any limitations on it, I just love seeing it as my little space on the internet where I can share a part of my life with you guys. And that kind of personal touch is what draws me into other blogs too. I want to feel like you're a REAL person!
