Goooooood morning beauty buddies…
It’s another teeth chatteringly fresh morning here in N. Ireland *hurry up summer* as I’m currently clutching a steaming mug of hot sweet tea, curled up in Confetti & Curves HQ, ready for a full day of writing! My previously organised little desk is now awash with highlighters, notes and mechanical pencils… however before I detach myself from my tea and commence in a stationary spring clean, I’m chuffed to bring you yet another fun filled Behind The Blog.
As always, if you’re new to Confetti & Curves (friendly wave) and not entirely sure what Behind The Blog is all about *click here* to bring yourself up to speed – you may even find yourself getting involved!
Today I’m super excited to be chatting with the lovely Elvisa! Hailing from Sweden, this fun loving gal keeps her blog buddies topped up with a digital dose of fashion, beauty, fun & lifestyle. If you haven’t already checked her out then do take a virtual trip over to Ellviisa to say a huge hello, but not before nestling back & learning more about the lady herself…
Ps: Check out her inspirational quote – I absolutely adore it.
In only 5 words describe what readers can expect from your blog:

What inspired you to start blogging?
I started a long time ago when I moved away for college. I wanted my friends and family back home to have an insight into my life. It’s changed a lot over the years but it’s still a blog about me, my everyday life and all that it entails.
Do you ever suffer from Blogger’s Block & if so how do you overcome it?
I do. I just give it time. I do this blog for fun and only write about what I feel like and when I feel like doing so. If I feel like taking a few days off, I do that.
What’s your favourite post to date?
I can’t pick just one but all my posts under the Sarajevo tag. http://ellviisa.com/?s=sarajevo
I live in Sweden but I’m from Bosnia and I go there a lot. I love going back and reading all my posts about when I’ve been there.
Describe your everyday style:
Jeans and a top, boots for winter and flats for summer.
What are your current top 3 beauty items?
L’Oreal Miss Manga Mascara
Maybelline Babylips in Hydrate
Olay Essentials Beauty Fluid
How do you like to relax & unwind after a stressful day?
A cup of tea and a reality show such as the Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Describe your ideal Saturday night:
A dinner out with friends.
What’s your favourite junk food snack?
Nachos.
Everyone has their hidden bad habits, what’s yours?
Whenever I’m eating pastilles/lollipops I chew them and destroy my teeth by doing so.
What’s your most cherished childhood memory?
For my 7th birthday I wanted a pet donkey and my uncle actually got me one.
Super strange but I loved him and his name was Magoo.
What was your favourite school subject?
Geography
What’s your dream job?
Party planning and PR.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Very happy doing something that I love.
What top 5 things are on your bucket list?
Travel to places like NYC and Dubai
Live in Sarajevo
A handbag collection at some point in my life
Start a YouTube channel
Meet Oprah
What’s your biggest achievement to date?
Creating a comfortable life for myself with a job, apartment and car! And I did it for myself, by myself.
Who inspires you?
Hard working people who’ve created a life for themselves that they are happy with.
Do you have a favourite inspirational quote?
‘Love this moment, this moment is your life.’
Name 3 things that’s top of your Christmas list:
Christmas has now passed but I honestly didn’t wish for anything but health for myself, my family and my friends.
What top tips would you give to someone who is thinking of starting their own blog?
Do it and write about whatever you feel like. It is your creative space and you’re original. There is only one you in this world, use that.
