Interview a Blogger, Chapters of Kat

Hello Again,

I hope you have been enjoying my Interview a blogger series, I certainly have. Today we get to know all about the lovely Kat from Chapters of Kat! I am a massive fan of baking (not that I'm any good at it) but I'd love to try and make her s'mores brownies - they look amazing!!

1. Tell us something about yourself and your blog?

Hi there! I'm Kathryn but most people call me Kat and I'm from rainy Manchester. I started my little lifestyle blog in July of last year and I'm obsessed with all things Lush!

2. How did you get into blogging? Did someone else inspire you?

I've actually had the thought of starting a blog on my mind since I was around 16, that was when I got into following bloggers and YouTubers. Last year I decided that it was time to take the plunge and create one! Best decision ever.

3. What does blogging mean to you and why?

Hmm, what does blogging mean to me? It's like an escape for me. It's been years since I have had a hobby that I was fully invested in, and now it's sort of become my life. I regret nothing.

4. I personally have almost stopped blogging so, What keeps you motivated?

The friends I have made in the blogging community are what keep me motivated. It's amazing to see everyone do so well, something that I want to be a part of. I find having a little blog reading session keeps me inspired.

5. Name some (one,two or three) of your favourite bloggers and tell us why they’re your favourite?

This is always such a difficult question to answer as I have too many favourite bloggers. Like everyone I follow, I love. I will narrow it down to my favourite three as of now which are Sophie from Shy Life Living, Megan from Megan Jean and Robyn from Phases of Robyn. Not only are they all killing it right now in the blogging world, they're all amazing friends. I also obsess over their photography, I have serious Instagram envy.

6. What do you do when you’re not blogging?

When I'm not blogging I am most likely sleeping or eating. I wish that was a joke, I'm always doing something blog related. My life isn't very interesting, sorry haha!

7. What are you most proud of when it comes to your blog?

I would say I'm most proud of how quickly my blog has grown. I worked with some amazing brands within months of starting my blog and I know you shouldn't care about numbers but I'm pretty frickin' proud of how much my social media followings have increased.

8. Everyone has a favourite and a least favourite post, what are yours?

This is tricky but I think my favourite one is my Winter Morning Routine (http://www.chaptersofkat.co.uk/2015/12/winter-morning-routine-blogmas.html). It's a quick read but I just really like how it all came together once I had finished it.

My least favourite is probably every single one of those bloody tag posts. I will never do one again unless I'm actually interested in what they're about haha!

9. As I’m mainly a beauty blogger I feel like I have to ask at least one beauty question so: If you could only use one kind of beauty product what would it be and why?

I'm not sure if this applies to strictly make up or haircare/skincare etc but I'll just go with make up! The one make up item I couldn't live without would be... my Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade. I feel that if my brows stand out, nobody will really be looking at anything else. That's how it works, right? (I hope!)

10. What would you say to someone who aspires to become a blogger?

I'd say just go for it! Be you, write things you would genuinely like to read and dive right in. OH and also, get involved in the blogging community. You'll meet some of the best people and you probably won't look back!
