What are some
of the greatest lessons you’ve learned as a high school student? What are you
most looking forward to in your junior year?
This year I’ve definitely learned the value of hard work. I have
always studied hard, but something made me work harder this year, especially on
my finals! Junior year is definitely going to be a difficult one, but I can’t
wait to take photography and get closer to becoming an editor on my school
yearbook ;)
What are your dreams when it comes to college
and choosing your occupation?
I know I want to stay in the Midwest or head to the East Coast,
but I’m still kind of confused about whether or not I’d like to be in a city or
a more rural area! As for my occupation, I’d love to go into business with a
minor in fashion - combining those two things would be so fun for me.
What drew you to blogging and what is the
background to your blog’s name, Citrus and Style?
In middle school I began reading fashion blogs like The College
Prepster, and everyone always told me that I should start my own blog. I knew
how much work it would take so the summer before my freshman year I took the
plunge and have been obsessed ever since! The name citrus & style was
really a spur of the moment decision, and I didn’t know it would it would come
to represent my blog or myself so well.
What motivates you to live a healthy lifestyle
and exercise frequently?
The number one thing that inspires me to live a healthy lifestyle
is how good I feel when I’m eating nutritious foods and exercising regularly. I
feel well rested, energized and am usually in a good mood. Not to mention,
there’s no better feeling than when you finish a long workout!
Even though you’re very minimal when it comes
to makeup, what are a few products you wouldn't be able to go without?
I’ve found that curling my eyelashes really gives the
allusion that I’m wearing mascara, so my eye lash curler is definitely a good
tool to have, as well as a great lip butter and gloss, preferably in a pretty
pink.
What are three classic pieces you believe that
every woman should have in her wardrobe?
Pearl studs, a navy and white striped tee and a great tan bag are
my 3 go-to’s!
How do you find time to balance both your high
school life and Citrus and Style?
It definitely is kind of difficult to manage it all, but I focus
on school during the week and brainstorm blog ideas when they come to me. Over
the weekend I write up all my posts (minus the Friday Fours of course) and
schedule them for the upcoming days.
Who/What are some of your inspirations for
interior design, fashion, and beauty?
Blogger wise, Mackenzie Horan and Julia Dzafic always inspire me
with their fun outfits and colorful interior spaces! I also love Olivia
Palermo’s street style - she always looks so chic and put together.
What are your 5 favorite posts that you’ve
published on Citrus and Style?
This is a hard one! I love sharing pictures from my space so my
desk tour and gallery wall tours would be up there.
What would be your biggest tip for an aspiring
blogger?
I would say be original and really emphasize what makes you and
your blog unique. There are so many similar blogs these days that people
are attracted to content that is new and fresh!
What are some of your favorite summer reads?
I just finished Something Blue by Emily Giffin and I LOVED it. A
few nights ago I started Where’d You Go Bernadette and it is such a funny
one.
Apps you can’t live without?
Instagram. I check it way too many times a day ;)
What do you use to photograph your blog
posts?
Sometimes I use my iPhone depending on what I’m photographing, but
I usually use my Nikon DSLR d3200. I just got it for my birthday and it is the
most useful gift I’ve ever gotten!
Where can we find you on social media?
