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

Topics on – Myself. Food. Babies. Motherhood. Beauty.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

I used to admire people who born with a middle name, and so one day I came across this name Kièhl’s. What so special about it to got me attracted was the spelling, which I believe not everyone could pronounce it. And what’s cool is it comes with a special (è) & apostrophe in the name. So I decided to give myself that name as my unique middle name, while til today I’d never came across anybody using this name, so I believe it was a right choice!

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

Normally I use afterlight & pitu to edit and enhance photos.

Favorite part – I could share deals, codes & benefits to people out there. And getting the very first informations or products to try on compared to the public, lastly not getting out of trend.

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

For me I would use them & show the results by real. If it’s really good, I’ll share to everyone out there it’s worth to try/buy. And normally I don’t just run on instagram, also facebook & blog too.

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

Yes they are important as you’re bringing the products/stuffs to this world to the public. If quality is bad, nobody would wna try them out. And original content shows like if it’s a branding, if it’s not fr the origins people might doubt about it. Especially for advertising.
