Hey Blog Buddies,
As most of you know, I launched Confetti & Curves back in October of 2014. Since then I’ve had the utter pleasure of making so many new interweb chummies – all thanks to the powers of WordPress & Social Media! Starting off in the blogging world is always pretty nerve wrecking but having a community of such supportive & encouraging folk really does wonders for the confidence and builds amazing new friendships along the way.
Of course being marinated with kindness from you lovely lot has also recently given me incentive and courage to even start my own YouTube channel *click here to check it out*… something I NEVER thought was personally achievable, yet it’s happened and I’m loving the *slightly intimidating* fun I’m having making my weekly rants and rambles. However recently it occurred to me that even though I blog 5 days a week, interview many of you guys for the roaringly successful Behind The blog series, read your posts & interact with as many of you as time allows me to, I thought it would be fun to invite you to ask me any questions you just might have that I normally don’t cover in my day-to-day posts. Sounds like fun? *Hmm* I thought so too 😀
So if there’s anything YOU would like to know – it could be about likes, dislikes, friends, personal life, family life, relationships, work, beauty, career, coping with anxiety, health, parenting, the blog…. *the list goes on*… then by all means leave your question in the comments below & I’ll be sure to tackle it all in a Q&A video. Oh, and do feel free to leave the url to your blog/YouTube channel too (if) you’d like me to include it in your mention.
Wishing ya’ll a rather jolly Monday *if that’s at all possible* 😉
Cheerio chums…
Love a Q&A. Can I ask out of pure curiosity, is blogging your full time job and if so how did you make it that way? Sounds v nosey eek hope that’s ok! xx

Another great idea as always Karen. Well I may have two questions to ask-hope that;s not against the rules, haha. First question: How do you find time to manage your Social Media accounts (Twitter, IG, YouTube, etc). Second question and forgive me if you have already addressed this in a previous post, how did you get an article published in a magazine. It’s actually become a goal of mine to get something published at least once and was wondering if you had any pointers you can share. 🙂

Hi Karen – haven’t had time to read all the questions so I hope I’m not repeating – apologies if so!
I’d love to know how much time you dedicate to reading other blogs and commenting, as you are such a good commenter and always good at responding to comments too. It’s something I struggle with time-wise, so I’m interested to hear your take on it. Also how many blogs do you subscribe to, and how many YT channels to you watch? Look forward to the video xx
