For this blog post I gave all my followers across my platforms (Insta, Twitter, Facebook) the opportunity to ask me whatever you want – within reason lol; I had a few stranger questions š . Thanks for everyone that took the time to ask me stuff!
What makes you so passionate about fashion?
It’s not even simply fashion that I am passionate about, it’s about looking and feeling good – clothes are just a part of that. I really believe that you can wear a killer outfit but if you don’t feel comfortable and good in yourself it will never work! – (question asked by Muhammad Patel via Facebook)
What, in your eyes, is your definition of true beauty?
Personally I think true beauty comes from the inside – I know that is complete cliche but it’s very true! Someone can look like a 10 and then sport a shit personality that instantly drops them to a 5! There has to be some substance behind a pretty face, otherwise their look is as hollow as the body they put the clothes on. – (question asked by Matty McCullough via Facebook)
What has been your favourite photo production so far?
Haha actually my favourite so far has been the worst to actually do! I did a shoot today (09/03) that I wanted in the rain to promote a t-shirt brand that I love; Verb.ly! These guys have a lot of clothing that is simple and yet stylish and inspiring. The t-shirt in question has the writing “follow yourself” on it so I thought up a great slogan that would require me to be wet. A cold, windy day in March would not have been my first choice to do it on – not to mention it wasn’t raining so I had to use a hose pipe! Check out the picture and the website for these guys below! – (asked by @fashionguyz via DM on Instagram)
What’s the best way to eliminate blackheads if you have very sensitive skin?
It’s important to remember that a blackhead is just a lore that has become clogged and oxidised causing it to appear black. The most important thing is keeping you skin clean and exfoliating often to remove dead skin. A good, cheap way for people with sensitive skin to achieve this is with baking soda. Mix with a little water til it forms a paste and rub it into your skin. Wash the mixture off once you have rubbed it in. Once a week is sufficient as it can dry out your skin – combat this with a moisturiser if needed. (asked by Hayley Monteiro via Facebook) my sister haha!!
Your skin looks perfect on photos; do you use makeup?
I don’t! Not that I would be against it I’d say I had a huge spot appear on a day I needed photos doing but in general I don’t really need it. Believe it or not, I try to stick to the advice I give – I cleanse and moisturise every night, exfoliate twice a week and in general try to take care of my skin. I do smoke though so I’m not completely squeaky clean š ! (asked by @hannah.car2 via DM on Instagram)
What makes you happy?
Haha that’s such an easy question; my niece! She’s beautiful and perfect in every way and can literally turn a bad day into a good one with just her smile! I’m such a proud uncle. –(asked by Jessie Jacobs via Facebook)
How much do you spend on clothing and beauty products?
Not as much as I guess people would think – the point of my blog is looking good for less after all. I would probably say on average I spend about Ā£200 on clothes and products – I don’t have a budget per se but I don’t go crazy with my spending often….. not that often anyway…. – (asked by @lisamarie1990 via Instagram)
