Questions:
1. What motivated you to start your own blog? 
I decided to start my blog after posting some pictures on Instagram and getting some great feedback and a ton of followers. That gave me the confidence to start the blog. Who knows, maybe YouTube at some point too but right now the blog is my focus. 

2. Do you use any social networking sites to promote your blog? If so, what are they?
I use a ton of social networking sites to let people know about what I am posting. Anything from Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, StumbleUpon, Facebook, etc. I'm always finding new ones too.

3. On average, how many page views does your blog get per day?
I probably get around 800 page views a day but that really depends on how often I post and how many posts I do.

4. What types of blogs do you write about? For example, how-to's, reviews, etc.
I enjoy writing about reviews of new products, posts on my collection, and great beauty deals. Really anything beauty related. I'm not a makeup artist so I don't do tutorials or anything but have great YouTubers to recommend if anyone is into that.

5. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they?
My worst habit is probably picking at my lips. I have no idea where it came from but unfortunately it means I'll never have completely unchapped lips. I guess there are worse bad habits to have though. Also procrastination, that is something I would love to work on.

6. Whats your favorite movie of all time?
My favorite movie would be a three way tie between Dirty Dancing, Grease, and Clueless.

7. If you could meet any celeb, who would it be and why?
It would 100% be Kim Kardashian. I love her style in general and would love to pick her brain on beauty questions and what products she uses. I'm so excited and happy for her with her pregnancy.

8. Where do you see your blog in 3 years?
I see my blog growing to have an amazing group of men and women who read my posts and also continuing to network with other bloggers who enjoy beauty as much as I do.

9. What gained your blog the most attention? For example, a blog, a giveaway, contest, etc.
I gained a lot of attention when I posted about the Sephora Friends & Family Sale, which technically didn't happen but I thought it was going to after seeing Temptalia post about it. If I knew it wasn't going to happen I wouldn't have done the post but I figured it was safe to if Temptalia posted about it.

10. What do you think of this award and future contest?
I think it's great to be able to recognize bloggers who work hard at what they are doing and who put a lot of thought and effort into sharing great information with their followers. I also think it's nice to be able to share more personal things with our readers to help them better get to know us.
