An Interview With
A Fashion Blogger BLOGGING IS MASSIVE RIGHT NOW. FROM ZOELLA TO THE HUFFINGTON POST, BLOGGING IS ONE OF THE BEST PLATFORMS TO REACH PEOPLE ONLINE. IT IS ALSO A GREAT WAY OF GETTING YOURSELF OUT THERE. IT’S ALMOST LIKE A CV - IF YOU HAVE A FASHION BLOG YOU CAN USE THAT TO SHOW YOUR POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS AND IT’S A WAY OF SHOWING THEM YOU AND YOUR STYLE.
D
ARRYLL BRYANT IS A BEAUTY AND FASHION BLOGGER. ALTHOUGH MOSTLY CONCENTRATING ON BEAUTY, SHE HAS RECENTLY STARTED CONCENTRATING MORE ABOUT FASHION. DARRYLL STARTED BLOGGING DUE TO AN INTEREST IN YOUTUBERS AND BLOGGERS SUCH AS TANYA BURR AND SPRINKLE OF GLITTER, WHOSE BRILLIANT BLOGS INSPIRED HER TO CREATE HER OWN.
WHY DID YOU CHOSE BEAUTY AND FASHION AS A TOPIC FOR YOUR BLOG? Darryll: Mainly because that is what interests me the most. Even though I do want people to read what I write, I write what makes me happy and not others.
WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU POST TO YOUR BLOG? D: Everything and anything really! If I go shopping I’ll take photos of everything and post it all - kind of like a haul. I also post reviews. If I buy a product and find it amazing I will write a post about it. I have been sent products before that they expect you to write about. I only write about what I personally find good, I’m not gonna lie for the sake of getting something for free.

BECKETT
DO YOU GET SENT PRODUCTS OFTEN? D: Not really. I know it’s a weird thing to say but I don’t really want any. I want to write about what I want to write, not what someone else wants me to write.
HAS YOUR BLOGGING TAKEN YOU ANYWHERE PROFESSIONALLY? D: I got a job doing some work experience through it. I am actually trained as a hairdresser, so wanted to get some work experience in some bigger, more professional salons. I contacted a salon in London and they asked if I had a blog to show them, as a portfolio type of thing. They were impressed and I got to train with them for a couple of months.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND OTHERS TO START UP A BLOG? D: Yes! It can take you anywhere. Even if it is just for a hobby, it’s so much fun. I have also met some great people through it, professionally and personally.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR PEOPLE THINKING OF CREATING A BLOG? D: Just write what makes you happy, you’re going to be the person who has to write on it all the time so make it something that you enjoy. Blogger is a great platform to create your blog on. Bloglovin is also a great tool for finding other bloggers and following other blogs. The more consistent you are and the more you blog, the more likely people are to follow you.
ASIDE FROM YOUR BLOG, YOU SAID YOU ARE TRAINED AS A HAIRDRESSER, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUALIFICATIONS? D: Nope! I thought about going to university, I applied and everything. But school rushes you into making a decision about what you want to do and I just didn’t know. I think I applied for business or something at university, I have no idea what I was thinking I dont even like business [ha]! I wouldn’t stamp out about going to university in the future though. Recently I have become fond of fashion marketing, I would love to study that.
WHERE ELSE CAN WE FIND YOU ONLINE? D: My blog is darryllsbeautyblog.blogspot.co.uk and I am all over social media. I am a girl and my name is Darryll - I am not hard to find [ha].

EXAM STRESS 30
BECKETT
Exams are right around the corner, before you know it christmas will be over and revision will commence. Here are some top tips, from students themselves, about how to handle exams.
1.
Eat and sleep
You aren’t going to revise or do your work well if you are struggling to stay awake. Eating properly also makes your brain function better.
2.
don’t panic
3.
have fun
Easier said than done, right? But if you panic you’ll completely forget everything you’ve spent ages revising. Deep breaths.. .
Relaxing and having a little bit of fun will take your mind off any stress you have. Create a good balance between chill time and working.
4.
be with friends
5.
reward yourself
Sometimes revising with friends or people on the same course as you, makes reviisng easier. It can also save time if someone has notes that you don’t.
Treating yourself everytime you do some revision can also calm you down. For example, after 30 minutes revision, have 10 minutes watching TV. beckett
