I was nominated by Mercy from Busy and Fab. So
basically, you have to mention the person/s who nominated you, answer their
questions, post 11 random facts about yourself, choose 11 blogs that inspire
you, and of course, create 11 questions for them too. Down below
are questions asked by Mercy. Here we go!
LIEBSTER AWARD
In my spare time I watch Inspirational videos to start
my day or week, do anything related to blogging (prep outfits for future blog
post, take pictures, edit pictures, write future blog post, reply comments,
stop by other blogs, reply emails and so on), I also do school work and create
time to talk to friends/family, oh and I sing and dance (life is short).
2.
How would you describe your personal style and is
there a person who is a fashion inspiration to you?
My style is so versatile. It’s also a media for
self-expression and as such I have realized that my style changes and evolves
over time, also depending on location and basically how I’m feeling at a
particular point in time. When it comes to style I’m unpredictable, however,
factors in my style that remain constant are comfort, simplicity, modesty and
colors (I love incorporating colors into my outfit) I think it’s my signature
look. My fashion Inspiration since I was a child is my mum, seeing her look
divine in every outfit without even trying inspired me to always look decent. However
as a style blogger I'd say Style Pantry is my style inspiration, as I see myself
dressing similar to her when I get married.
3.
What inspired you to start your blog?
Looking good and well put together is one of my many passions I exhibit on a daily basis and I do get compliments on how I dress and
also get asked about my outfits. I always make sure they are documented on
Ig or fb, but I needed a bigger platform to truly express myself and then came
the idea of blogging and it’s a risk I’d never regret. So I’d say the drive in
me inspired me to start my own blog.
4.
What is your proudest moment?
If you mean my proudest moment as a blogger, I’d have
to say late June 2016 when I was up all night setting up my blog all by myself from
scratch for a week and finally seeing it turn into what I envisioned it to be, that
is one of the proudest moment for me as a blogger.
But if it’s just a general question, I’d say every
single day of my life is a proud moment for me, as I try to be a better person
in all aspects of my life.
5.
Is blogging your profession or just a hobby?
For the purpose of this question I’d say blogging is
my hobby, but have always said blogging is my passion and someday hopefully I’d
love to turn it into a profession.
6.
What is the biggest difference in your life
post-blogging?
Hmmmm!! I’m not really a fan of heels; I just wear
them for the purpose of blogging, to occasions and events. But in my everyday
life it’s the last thing you’d see me wear. It slows me down, maybe its cause
I’m a student.
7.
What do you like the most, Clothes, bags or shoes?
Clothes!!!! I can’t emphasize enough on this. Having
decent outfit/s is one of the key to looking decent and sophisticated. Clothes,
then I can go for shoes.
8.
How much time do you spend blogging?
There is no in-between; I literally can spend a whole
week blogging and the next it’s like I have no blog. But on a serious note
blogging is really time consuming, like I expressed in No 1. One of the
misconceptions of bogging is that it’s so easy. Well I thought so too until I
launched The Style Fanatic and started managing it. If you want to open a blog
make sure it’s a passion of yours and not something itching you to do cause
everyone is doing it.
9.
How do you envision your blog to be in five years’
time?
Well branded. By God’s grace
10.
Which do you like more, shopping in the physical store
or online?
Definitely shopping online why you ask, it’s because
the advantages outweigh the advantages of shopping in the physical. I’m not a
fan of standing in a queue just to try on an outfit I probably wouldn’t buy, or
try looking for an attendant to ask them if a certain outfit comes in a size S.
Online it’s vivid, out of stock or in stock, plus you get to eat while shopping
online, It helps with good fashion decision making. Try it out and thank me
later.
11.
What would you say that is the greatest satisfaction of
being a fashion blogger?
Now this question is really one of my favorite amongst
all. The greatest satisfaction of being a fashion blogger for me is sincerely
seeing my hard work and efforts being appreciated by a lot of people from
around the world. People relating to the content I put out really do make my
day and it brings me so much satisfaction than food.
11 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME
1.
I have reverence for God; my spiritual life
is something I don't joke with. I can’t step out of the house without Praying.
2.
I love
having deep and thoughtful conversations with people.
3.
Not
that it matters but I rep Pisces (water sign). Where my fellow water signs at.
4.
I’ve always
wanted to be an Architect or a Lawyer. That boat sailed later on.
5.
I am an
ambivert (Google is your friend) but I really love peace, quiet and a lot of
alone time which is sometimes misunderstood but hey you can’t please everyone.
6.
I am a
bit obsessive over cleanliness and organization. If you don’t care about good
hygiene, buh-bye.
7.
I’m
goal oriented, and I give myself constructive criticism almost every night
before I sleep.
8.
I’ve
won an International beauty Pageant (being the only African) and was once on the cover
of a magazine here in Russia. One of my proud moments
9.
I'm simple, straightforward and I love
laughing!!!! Want to get my attention, there you go.
10. I care for people way too much which I feel is a gift and a cross to carry.
11. I have multiple personalities. If you think you know
me you don’t.
Bonus!
12. I still watch cartoons 😏.
13. I’m in the process of learning to play my guitar,
someone please help me I need motivation.
14. I’m not a fan of pretentious and condescending people.
15. I don't compare myself to people. I believe we all have different paths to walk here on earth.

I
nominate
Kerona
Mssparkleandglow
Sauniya
from Findyyourbliss
Missymay from Missymayification
Dimplekhadi from Dimplekhadi
Rina from Andshedressed.com
Carina from Carinavardie
Violette from Violettedaily
Jalisa from Thestylecontour
Camila from Myvoguestyle
And any other blogger who wouldn’t mind answering these questions.
I don’t mean to intrude on anyone’s privacy if I’ve
nominated you and you can’t do it, it’s okay but it would be fun getting to
know more about my fellow bloggers. Plus, just answer the questions asked by
mercy which I’ve already answered, I’d love to know your response towards them.
Thanks for reading, I know it was a long one but I
hope you did find it interesting.
