Behind The Blog… featuring Sophie from Weird & Wonderful

Hey Beauty Buddies…

Firstly, thanks so much indeed to all who left such lovely comments on both yesterday’s post: The Make Up Menu featuring Clinique  & Sundays, Keeping Up With Karen. You guys really are incredible – your support & encouragement is always so overwhelming, I couldn’t wish for a better bunch of blog buddies so thanks again guys! I do however have a quick apology to make *sigh* I know some of you have emailed over the last week and I haven’t gotten back to you all as pronto as I’d like to – if you haven’t received a reply yet please don’t worry, it’ll arrive in a jiffy! With both Em’s & Steve’s birthdays falling literally a day apart (which reminds me, Happy Birthday Steve!!!) this last week has been a blur of banners, balloons and more cake than the Great British Bake Off… not good for anyone watching their curves that’s for sure 😉

However onto today’s fun filled post… I have yet another fabulous blogger to introduce y’all to as Sophie from Weird & Wonderful is the first this week to grace our virtual sofa of sassiness. Hailing from Bristol, Sophie’s a keen cosmetic craver (like most of us) and enjoys gracing our screens with fabulous lifestyle & beauty babble . Oh, and before I forget – yesterday was her birthday too, so do take the time to wish her a huuuuuuuge Happy Birthday!!! ❤

I feel a cup of tea and (another) slice of birthday cake coming on chums. Fancy joining me? Then let’s get comfy as we go Behind The Blog with Sophie…

What inspired you to start blogging?

.

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

I found it difficult sticking to a name in the beginning but I happily decided on Weird & Wonderful as I think it describes me and my blog well.

.

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

Sometime, but I think we all do don’t we? I like to clear my head and never force a post, let it come naturally. I like to jot things down when an idea pops into my head so something is always there when the block comes along.

.

What’s your favourite post to date? 

Hmmm, such a hard question. But I am going to go with my post about Body Positivity, I feel that this is a nice positive post and I enjoyed writing it.
