I do dye my hair red. My hair is naturally reddish and I like to go in every few months and get a demi-permanent to make it a true red. Most of the time on the blog you actually see my natural color since demis fade out in 12 washes.
How much time do you spend blogging?
Too much time? Several hours a day, but I break it up into segments. I write many posts late at night/early morning and take pictures whenever the sun is in a good position.

Because of the sheer number of readers you have, do you ever feel stressed out a bit trying to keep up with everyone and everything?
Yes, the more readers I get the more I feel obligated to maintain a certain standard and keep things interesting. I really don’t keep up with everyone and everything out of a sense of duty though, I started writing a blog because I like reading blogs and I still like reading blogs. If I stop enjoying it, I would probably stop reading other sites.
Do you believe in God? Are you religious?
Yes, I believe in God. I’m a Christian and I do consider myself religious.
What motivates you to keep blogging regularly?
I’m a very orderly and meticulous person, so blogging this way is a reflection of my personality. I also take my blog seriously and feel a sense of duty to my readers and sponsors to maintain a level of quality and frequency.
What is your fashion philosophy?
To dress in a way that expresses myself creatively and makes me feel confident. When I am in an outfit I really like I feel a little untouchable—no one can really criticize my appearance because I am completely at ease in my clothes. I suppose one philosophy is: wear what you like so much that everyone else can hate it and it doesn’t bother you.
