Ly Zhang of 'Eternal Optimist'
1) Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?
I'm Ly (Lee) from the little blog,
Eternal Optimist. I'm a recent college graduate who's franticly studying for the MCATs because I can't bear to wait another minute not being a part of Doctors without Borders.
2) How you first got involved in with blogging?
After graduating I noticed that due to the lack of time I've "lost" all my hobbies. After contemplating for months I decided to start a lifestyle/fashion blog. I blog about a various range of topics from beauty DIYs to cooking to fashion. Since I'm on an endless quest to discover my personal style I also egoistically post about my daily outfits. I may not have style that elicits profound emotions or intrigues street photgs, but I dress for me and I'm okay with that. So if any of those topics interest you feel free to come stalk me over at my
blog!
3) Name some of the bloggers whom you look up to and why?
Someone once told me that whatever you're doing while you're procrastinating is what you should be doing as your job. In that case, I should be either a professional blog reader and/or reality tv show obsessor. There are so many blogs out there that I enjoy from, fashion to strictly cooking. I, of course, adore Natalie's blog. Her style is too die for! She embodies both edginess and romance. I also love Ring My Bell, Smitten Kitchen, The Cherry Blossom Girl, A Beautiful Mess, and The Rockstar Diaries. Just to name a couple (okay, seven).

Betty of 'Bettys Bites' - A beautiful food blog
Betty of 'Bettys Bites'
1) Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?
I'm a happy -go-lucky type of gal, always doing something (I have trouble sitting still haha) I am an instagrammer ('betsybooboos' if you want to check out what I've been nomming on lately!), Nowadays even though my
blog is on a mini-hiatus (I shall be back soon I promise!) I am still happily snapping up pictures of food either with my iphone or my Nikon D90. When I am NOT eating my heart out, I like to do yoga and kick boxing, but my true passion lies in the kitchen - I love to cook and bake!
2) How you first got involved in with blogging?
I started my blog
Bettys Bites because I loved eating out and taking photos of my food, and I thought it would be fun to combine the two and publish it online for others to read. However, I also started baking and cooking things at home so sharing recipes became a part of my
blog as well :)
