I invited her to interview so I could share with you a little about the inspiration behind starting my own blog, 'Behind the Scenes'. I asked Paula what it meant to be a
blogger, and how it all began.
So... How long have you been blogging - and how did it all start?
“I started
The P-Ho Diaries just over a year ago now. At the time I was working with a lot
of bloggers in my day job so decided I wanted to start myself. It started off
as a sort of diary, hence the name, focusing on what I was getting up to in
London. Now it's become a hub to share my passion for fashion and food plus
everything in between. It has grown a lot in just a year so I'm very proud and
happy with what I have achieved so far.”
What do you love the most about blogging?
"I love
writing! So for me it is a place to write away until my heart is content and
people actually read it. I think the key to blogging is writing like no one is
reading that way you always write honestly and people enjoy it more
(I hope!)
Of course they are a few perks, like being given free
products to try and being invited to fashion & lifestyle events. I think
more recently the media have released how important bloggers are for promotion,
so that's good news for me and the industry."
Having met you at a press conference earlier this year,
are there any upcoming projects, events or major London shows you will be attending?
"I'm about to see the comedy Ladykillers to review on my
blog, which should be fun. I also have partnered with UGG boots for a great
giveaway, where my readers can enter and choose a pair of UGG's of their
choice, so I'm really excited about launching this competition."
What
is the best thing about your job as a blogger?
"I guess doing what I love, I never feel like its work as
I enjoy it so much. I never moan about having to write a post and work all
hours, so I guess it must be true love! It also gives me time to work on my
other projects; I also work as a freelance writer and social media consultant
so I am able to split up my time easily."
What about other passions in life? What do you enjoy?
"I do love to write, I am currently writing my first novel
which I have been going on about for two years but now finally have the time to
do it! I love travelling and hope to go away again this year. I just got back
from Miami which was amazing."
