How does it feel to 'talk into a camera?’ A bit embarrassing at first but you get used to it :) it gets easier with time.
What was your first You Tube video like (filming, editing etc.)? A bit awkward, I didn't say much in my first video.
Do you V-log? If so, how has that helped you to connect with your audience? How is it different then your regular YouTube channel? Which do you prefer? No but I plan to one day :) once I have something interesting enough to vlog about haha!

What have you learned since starting your channel? To just have fun with making videos and not worry so much what negative people think of you.
How have you built (and continued to build) your online audience? I advertise my channel the most through Twitter.
Do you use social media to talk with your audience? How has it helped your channel/online platform? Yes, I would say it has as social media spreads things pretty quickly.
What advice would you give to other girls/people, who want to start their own fashion blog or channel? Just to be themselves and have fun. Also to do whatever they want to do and not just what they think others want to see, you never know :)
Any future plans for your channels? How do you plan to expand your channel/ ‘online platform?’ Hopefully my channel will keep growing over time, I plan to just keep doing what I've been doing so far lol! :)
