Thanks Nikki for taking the time out of your very busy week to answers a few questions.
Blogging:
Q: What do you love about blogging?
A: I love the fact that it’s all about me – LOL!!! When you freelance you work to a brief or write to the tone of the magazine – with bellaMUMMA it’s what I like and in my own words!
Q: Where do you get your daily inspiration from?
A: Everywhere… I’m always checking out blogs, magazines + I get a lot of info/pix/products sent to me from PR’s!
Beauty:
Q: What is your no.1 beauty ‘must-have’ product?
A: At the moment Moroccanoil – it’s THE BEST product for your hair! It moisturises, repairs and stops the frizzies – {a god-send for my chemically challenged hair!}
Q: What is your essential makeup product(s)?
A: Chanel Lumiere foundation, Maybelline Colossal Mascara and Lanolips lip balm {which you can also dab on your cheeks}!
Q: What is the best makeup tip you’ve been given?
A: When you’re applying mascara, don’t forget to coat the very inner lashes and the top of your lashes, too. Makeup artists do, and they always make us look just terrific, so let’s copy them.
Q: What is the one thing that you religiously do when it comes to your skincare routine?
A: {Try to} take cooler showers… it’s so SO much better for your skin and hair! Hot water dries out your skin and can cause flare-ups! Cooler water also makes your hair look shiner!
Style:
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Pretty casual – maybe a little a little boho!?!
Q: Do you follow trends?
A: Bits and pieces of trends! I’m really conscious of becoming ‘mutton dressed as lamb’!
Fashion:
Q: What is your worst fashion mistake?
A: Hmmm, I made a few when I was younger… hopefully I don’t anymore!!!!!
Q: Do you have a favourite item in your wardrobe?
A: My jeans – can’t live without them!
Q: Who are your favourite designers?
A:Sass & Bide, Morrison, Bassike and May.
Celebrities:
Q: Which celebrity do you admire in terms of beauty & style?
A: Alexa Chung and Sienna MIller – both gorgeous, original and stylish!
