Yasmin is a 30 year old, Fashion blogger also know as SnazzyYazi. She is originally from Artigavan and is currently living in Derry.
Why did you decide to become a blogger/influencer?
I’ve loved fashion since I was very young and just wanted to share my passion.
Tell us something your followers might not already know about you?
My photos are all taken by myself (using a tripod), my Mum and my boyfriend. I’ve really tried to practice my photography skills over the last couple of years and I’m always trying to learn new tricks.
What would you consider your biggest achievement as a blogger/influencer?
Winning the Blog Awards Ireland 2018 Best Fashion Blog Category.
What would you consider the biggest lesson you’ve learnt in the industry?
It doesn’t matter how many followers you have, as long as you love and enjoy what you do you will be happy.
What has been your biggest challenge to date?
Finding time to blog while working full time and having a social life.
Do you feel that bloggers are unfairly judged at times, if so why?
Yes, a lot of bloggers are put in to a box of ‘blogging only to get free stuff’ when that isn’t true, especially when there are bloggers who have a real passion for what they write about.
What advice would you give to someone wanting to start a blog/instagram page?
Just go for it and don’t worry about what other people might think. Everyone will have an opinion no matter what you do.
What local blogger do you look up to and why?
TGavy, Sequin Cinderella and Curlers N Coffee. They’re all very genuine and love the content they talk about / write about.
What international blogger do you look up to and why?
Megan Ellaby because her style is very different and doesn’t try to fit in to the “blogger” mould.
