Featured Content Creator of the Week – The LIFB Issue

I have to say it's down to my hubby. I wanted to have a creative outlet for so many years and just kept talking about it. Nothing happened. Then I started a blog because my lovely hubs encouraged me to do so. I wanted to write about the things I love - British things and style - but it was hard to do that in Germany to be honest. I studied English language & literature, lived in Egypt as a teenager and learned English from British people. I spent a semester in Cambridge, read all the British interior & lifestyle mags in Germany, it's my passion to this day and now that we actually live in the UK, I can follow my passion to the fullest. Joerg got a job offer in the UK and we decided to say yes to this adventure.

Of course I want it to grow. Having moved to the UK last year, I did a relaunch because I wasn't able to blog the way I wanted back in Germany. I sort of started from scratch and now find my way and style more and more. It's an ongoing process but I really want to combine my style with beautiful places throughout the UK. I love exploring and travelling here and show my style. We're currently searching for a place to buy and I'm dreaming of doing more interior stuff, I'm currently not able to do it but if we buy something, I will start doing it. It would be a dream come true.

Being an older blogger (46) I want to show that age isn't that important. I'm not focussing on my age but on life in general. I mean we were at a mature age when we left Germany, sold our house and everything - a huge step but I hope I can show that it's so important to follow your dreams and never give up. It's hard but we only have one life and should make the most of it. I still miss our Swedish house but we gained so much here and people should never give up their dreams just because they are older. I hope I can transport that message somehow.

I've just started vlogging as well and really enjoy it, I think YouTube is a great addition to my blog and hope I can grow my channel.

I absolutely adore Julia Engel of www.galmeetsglam.com. Although she is huge, she replies to e-mails or messages on Instagram and seems like such a genuine person. I love her style so much and although she is so much younger than me, she inspires me. Mostly younger people inspire me because the older ones just keep stressing their age (not all of them of course!). I don't want to be like that or let's say I don't want it to be my main focus.

I also love Aimee Song, her vlogs on YouTube are amazing. I would never ever have guessed that she would be so down to earth considering the fact that she is one of the biggest ones in the industry.
