HI, MY NAME IS…Olivia Russell

MY TWITTER HANDLE IS…@lifebyolivi

MY BLOG URL IS…https://www.lifebyolivia.net/

I’M FROM….The Bahamas

ASIDE FROM BLOGGING, I ENJOY…Exercising, baking, photography and the sims

I’M CURRENTLY WATCHING…Sex education and dynasty on Netflix

I’M CURRENTLY READING…F*ck feelings by Michael and Sarah Bennett

I GOT STARTED BLOGGING IN…January 2012, but didn’t get serious until 2016.

MY BLOGGING PROCESS INCLUDES…

Searching Pinterest for inspiration or attending events so that I can write about it. It starts with an idea; the title is always first. I’ll start a post with a particular title, then schedule it. Depending on how much time I have, either I start writing, right away or I come back to it. Some days I can write up to 5 blog posts. Then it’s time to create the content (I know a little backwards, but as long as I lock myself into a date that it has to be published, I’m more inclined to actually do it). Then all I have to do is shoot and add the photos to the posts then share them on social media once it’s out. If I get an idea before falling asleep, I keep a pen and paper in my bedhead to jot it down. I’m truly a pen and paper girl for mapping things out.

I BLOG ABOUT…Food!!!!!! Mostly, but I also share advice, exercise routines, outfits, travel guides and my personal photography.

I MOSTLY BLOG AT…Wherever there’s a computer.

I work best midday and evenings (in terms of writing and editing videos and photos).

MY GREATEST BLOGGING ACHIEVEMENT SO FAR IS…Being nominated twice for blog of the year by elevation awards

WHEN I’M BLOGGING I LISTEN TO…THE TV!

MY FAVOURITE SNACK/DRINK WHILE BLOGGING IS…I’m boring: water

IF I HAD A BLOGGING SUPERPOWER, IT WOULD BE…To have all the time in the world to create content without ever running out of ideas

IF I COULD INTERVIEW ANYONE ON MY BLOG, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE…Lauren Conrad because I really admire her

IF I COULD RECORD A VLOG WITH SOMEONE FAMOUS IT WOULD BE…Wendy Williams because she’s my idol

OTHER BLOGS I GET INSPIRATION FROM ARE…Paper & Stitch, a Beautiful Mess, Studio diy, Oh Happy Day, and Lauren Conrad

I LOVE BLOGGING BECAUSE…I get to share my life and other people are actually inspired to get up and do things because they saw me do it.
