Another passion of mine is traveling, my dream is to travel around the world, to see places and meet people of all different cultures, and this is the main reason why I chose to graduate in Languages and Literatures.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

Beauty, makeup

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Well, my full name was already taken so I thought of using the name that my family has been calling me since I was born “Francy” plus my surname, but that was taken too, so I added my initials!

Facetune and Enlight are my two favorites!

I love Desi Perkins, she’s my biggest inspiration I think we are a lot alike that’s why she inspires me so much, I see a lot of me in her!

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

I am a very authentic person, I seriously don’t know how to be shady and lie! I think that if brands have done their best to come out with great products there would be no reason at all not to be authentic, so everyone should just do and work the best they can!

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

Well today there are tons of people who call themselves “influencers”, everybody wants to be a blogger so if you don’t make original and high quality content you won’t get noticed, and you won’t grow! So yeah, I think if you want to do this job, you have to work hard and do it great otherwise, if you are not willing to really it’s better if you don’t do it at all!

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

It’s amazing to try new products and sharing them with your followers advising them in any way possible and it’s great to get to know the people behind a brand, because they’re the real heart of that brand!
