Answers + Kasha Magazine Feature

I was recently featured as one of three bloggers in the premier issue of Kenya's first online magazine, Kasha. It was a great feature (Thanks Nancie!) and this is for those who couldn't read what it says on the photo.

How long have you been blogging?

• Well I’ve had my blog for about 3years now but I really started getting into it about a year and a half ago. 

What made you start a blog?

• Found out about blogging back when I had my fashion channel on youtube. I realised that most people there had a blog and so I created one (which I had no idea what it was all about) but I knew that I wanted to do something fashion related so when I discovered other fashion blogs, I went ahead to get into creating mine.

What’s your favourite music?

• I listen to a variety of music genres from country to gospel rap to soul RnB to classic rock.

Does it affect the way you dress?

• Not really but then again what doesn’t affect the way we dress...fashion is forever evolving.

Any memorable moments you’ve experienced due to blogging?

• I remember when I had my first follower (I wish I could remember exactly who it was)...I was like okay...some else likes this...it was quite exciting: D

Do people ask you to style them just because you have a blog?

• Oh wow, that’s going to be a big YES! It’s become so normal that now I don’t even realize that they’re asking me just because I’m a blogger.

Any tips you can give a newbie blogger who wants to make it in blogging?

• Oh wow, all I can say is just keep doing what you do best and keep it you. Don’t get too caught up into making your blog look like someone else because you know we can’t all have the same personality. Also don’t be discouraged if you don’t have many followers because if you’re keeping your content fresh and original, there will always be someone that relates to your style.
