Behind The Blog…. featuring Jen from The Avon Insider

Well hello Beauty Buddies…

I hope you’re all keeping well and having a fab week so far? I’d just like to say a very quick thank you to all of you who stopped by yesterdays post 100 Posts… Yippeeeee!! Your kind comments and continuous support has been more than I could’ve ever hoped for. So here’s to the next 100 posts *clink* I’m pretty sure it’ll be every bit as fun (and more) as the last 100 have been 😀

However this morning we’re back with another fun filled Behind The Blog *Woooo hooo* As always, if you’re new to Confetti & Curves (friendly wave) and not entirely sure what this virtual shenanigans is all about *click here* to bring yourself up to speed – you may even find yourself getting involved, and why the heck not?!

So I’m sure many of you will already be familiar with the adorable Jen from The Avon Insider considering this girl is almost part of the furniture around these parts 😉 If by chance you haven’t already stopped by her blog then be sure to get yourself over pronto – this is a blog buddy you’ll simply can’t miss out on!

Jen was one of my first followers and it’s been such a pleasure (huuuge understatement) getting to know her over the last five months. Being another beauty obsessed mama, I can’t begin to describe how warm and welcoming Jen is to all who drop by and say hello… she’s never too busy for a quick chatter and always such a great encourager and inspiration. I’m pretty sure you’ll end up adoring her every bit as much as I do!

So without further ado I’ll simply have to insist you pop the kettle on, pour yourself a cup of something yummy and curl up for five minutes as you get to know this gorgeous gal a whole lot better…

In only 5 words describe what readers can expect from your blog:

Beauty, Fun, Family, Reviews, Me.

.

What inspired you to start blogging?

Social media inspired me to blog, I was looking for an outlet to express everything and anything that’s on my mind, my interests, and share a piece of who I am.

. 

Tell us about your blog name… what made you decide on it?

The Avon Insider is currently the name of my blog. I love cosmetics, I love trying new products, I enjoy selling them as well. When I first started my blog I had just signed up as an AVON rep. I wasn’t sure about blogging just yet and where it was going but I created my blog name based on the products I represented. With that said my blog has become more than that, I’m in the process of making some changes, the name will be changing but not by much, something that will make more sense to me and hopefully my readers. So stay tuned!!

 .

Do you ever suffer from Blogger’s Block & if so how do you overcome it?

Actually no, not yet at least, which is wonderful. My problem at this point is finding the time to post everything I would love to write about.

 .

What’s your favourite post to date? 

My favorite post to date would have to be a colaboration post with Stephie Estie using the Urban Decay palette. We both were really good at working together, emailing thoughts, and choosing different looks to display by using this palette. It was such a nice experience working with another blogger and I would totally do it again:

What’s your most cherished childhood memory?

My most cherished childhood memory was of a family trip we took to Virginia. I remember going on the merry-go-round ride with my mom. I was about 4 or 5yrs old and it was just pure bliss for me. See the photo below, how happy I was, and my mom photo-bombing. When you see her, she can’t be unseen. lol
