What do you love the most about blogging? Does anything about it stress you out?
Love the most: The creative outlet that blogging offers, inspiring people, the sense of community.
Stresses me out: Mean comments (not to be confused with constructive comments). Personally, I haven’t had to deal with any on my blog, but when I see them elsewhere it brings me down.

If you had to describe your blog in one sentence, what would you say?
The Dandy Bohemian is a reflection of my love of clothes, design, food and good old-fashioned romance.
What has blogging taught you?
Wow, good question! Blogging has taught me the most important person I need to please concerning my blog is me.

What advice do you have for new bloggers?
Post about what you love. When visiting someone’s blog, take the time to actually read what they’ve written.

Where do you see yourself and your blog in 5 years?
A blogging sensation. Joking…kind of. Seriously, I hope that in 5 years, my blog will be a reflection of my happiness and successes.

What has surprised you the most about blogging?
The friends I made through my very first blog. After all these years, happily, we are still a part of each other’s lives.
