Why should people follow you? What do you Instagram About?
I Instagram about all things style, beauty, travel and fitness. I am just an everyday girl sharing my day to day journey with the everyday girl! I love to be super authentic with my followers, always sharing what's going on in my life and areas I am working on. I see blogging as an opportunity to help other ladies work through real life things (in style of course ;) I value my relationships and love to make friends with my followers!
How and When did you get started?
I began my blog and Instagram a few years back when I was living out of state with my hubby. I've always needed some form of a creative outlet, so being away from home only brought that out even more. I began blogging and fell in love with sharing my style, beauty and fitness routines with my followers! I share things that I would want to see!
Where do you hope to be a year from now? What are some of your goals?
I would love to continue to grow Wink and a Twirl into a name that the everyday girl knows and follows for style, beauty, travel and fitness advice. I hope to connect with more amazing ladies and build authentic and lasting relationships focused on living a happy and healthy lifestyle!
What types of collaborations do you typically do and how can someone who wants to connect, contact you?
I collaborate with a large variety of brand types! I work with many fashion and beauty brands to showcase the latest trends and beauty products. I also love to partner up with local fitness studios to share my current fitness routines, as well as a variety of hotels and resorts. If you are interested in working together, feel free to email me (withawinkandatwirl@gmail.com) or send me a DM on Instagram!
What is some advice you would give for someone who is just starting?
Be YOU! I think the most important part of blogging and having an Instagram presence is being authentic! I find that I love to follow other girls that are raw and real. It's great to follow those accounts that have the dreamy and whimsical feeds (not going to lie!), but I truly cherish following the accounts that share about life and what's going on underneath the clothes and makeup, ya know?! So, no matter where this crazy journey takes you, always stay true to you and the the whole purpose for starting your account or blog!
