This week our Star Angel Spotlight is Katy from http://rottenottersthoughts.blogspot.com

Why did you call your blog Rotten Otter’s Thoughts?
Rotten Otter came about when I was thinking of a new email address with a friend, there was a leaflet on the table about rotten offers and somehow it turned into rotten otter. Since then it’s what I’ve used for everything and seemed perfect for my blog name, I added thoughts on the end as my blog is full of my rambles and ideas.

When did you start blogging and why?
I started blogging just over a year ago and have loved every minute! I remember watching Juicystar07’s video on how to create a Lauren Conrad braid which is how I came across the beauty community. I wasn’t really interested in making my own videos but when I discovered everyone’s blogs I knew I wanted to make my own.

Who inspires you / who’s your style crush?
Blogs inspire me so much; they are such enablers when it comes to buying things! My style crush has to be Lauren Conrad, so clichéd but I really do love her effortless style. From her clothes, to her hair, to her make-up she always looks so well put together.

What’s the best part of being a blogger? And the worst?
The best part of being a blogger for me is the creative outlet; I can combine my beauty product obsession with my love for photography. I’ve also met so many lovely people which I never expected when I started. I think the worst is when you have writer’s block! We all go through it and it’s really annoying when it happens.

Who or what have you been reading this year (your favourite blog)?
I don’t think I could pick just one favourite beauty blog but I always look forward to posts from Maylovesmakeup, Lipglossiping, Zoella, Lollipop Loves, Makeup savy, just to name a few! My favourite style blog is Marianna from Mariannann, I love her photographs despite not being able to understand what she writes as she’s from Finland. Google translator does not always work!

Winter soon! What does Autumn / Winter mean to you?
My favourite seasons! I love going out all wrapped up, winter coat, hat, scarf, gloves and a great pair of boots then coming home and having a hot chocolate. I also love winter as it’s when my whole family gets together from all over the UK and usually stays at mine.

What’s your favourite Aussie product? Why?
My favourite has to be the leave in conditioner; I’ve just started my second bottle! I use it every time I wash my hair and whenever I feel my hair needs a little pick me up. It’s perfect for the day after I curl my hair and it’s feeling dry and damaged. One great thing is you can’t feel the product in your hair; it doesn’t weigh it down or feel sticky.

What’s been the best part of being an Aussie Angel so far?
Meeting everyone! It’s great to put a face to the blogs I’ve been reading for the past year or so.

What would you like to see from Aussie and the Angel project in the future?
More great events and more products to fall in love with!
