With 2017 starting off with so much negativity I wanted to look to the positives and celebrate the absolutely incredible things that are happening around us and the blogging industry is absolutely one of them. Blogging has completely exploded and I wanted to use my knew "Getting To Know..." series as a chance to celebrate some of the incredible bloggers that are out there and doing their thing no matter what.
To start the series off, I wanted to chat to one of my favourite bloggers of the moment, Emily Valentine Parr or as you might know her better, Style Lobster. Emily is absolutely killing it in the blogging game at the moment and is topping my charts for ones to watch this year. She is unbelievably beautiful and her gorgeous photography gets me hook, line and sinker every time.
Here's what happened when I caught up with Emily and asked her a few quick fire questions...
Introduce
yourself and your blog in one sentence
I’m Emily

When did
you start blogging and why?
3 years ago
this February. I initially started because I was interest in advertising and
beauty branding…

the Spice Girls Impulse body spray because my Mum was hell bent on keeping me
away from makeup and beauty products for as long as possible when I was a
child.
Best budget
beauty buy?
Lloyds Pharmacy Body Care Oil, £5.99 for 125ml – it’s basically bio oil but a fraction of the cost!

Lips always

What’s in
your handbag right now?
My diary,
keys, phone, lip balm, and a hell of a lot of receipts. I started seeing them
now I am a freelancer and I have the fuckers spilling out of everywhere
Night out
or night in?
Again
depends on my mood
What’s your
