Eva Senzacqua lifestyle fashion travel influencer

Could you introduce yourself in a few lines so that our community can get to know you better? How would you define your style/universe?

My name is Eva Senzacqua (exactly like the name of my blog: http://www.evasenzacqua.com/), I'm 25 years old and I come from Lyon. I travel often and that's one of the main reasons why I decided to start my blog. I don't have a well-defined style! I sometimes surprise myself when I select certain articles and I often have trouble choosing an article, just because it's "trendy".

When was your blog created?

In December 2015!

What was your trigger and why did you start blogging?

This is an adventure that I have been wanting to do for months, even years, I would say. I was aware that I needed a little time to feed my blog and my situation, I admit, allowed me to start "blogging". Often after one of my trips, my "friends" on Facebook asked me for advice and addresses... So I told myself that a blog would be the best way to summarize all this in the same space and for everyone to have easier access to it.

How much time do you spend on your articles or your YouTube videos? Production, editing…? Do you have any organizational advice for other bloggers and YouTubers?

The time spent on articles really depends on my motivation, my desires or what I have to say. When you embark on the "blog adventure", you have to know that you are alone to manage, but at the same time, always be present on the web!

Publications must be regular and respected so as not to fall quickly "into oblivion". But I grant you the fact that there are times when the desire is more or less present. Having a blog means being connected non-stop: in the evening, on weekends, and even during the holidays, when we would like to disconnect a little more than usual, but this is hardly possible. Despite everything, I find it more and more difficult to get rid of this whole universe, it is fascinating.

Which community are you targeting?

I didn't know exactly who I was going to target in particular when I embarked on this adventure, but statistics show that my biggest target is women, aged between 25 and 35.

Where do you find most of your inspiration? And which social networks do you use most?

Instagram remains, definitely, the most inspiring social network and the one I use the most. I can't do without it anymore!

How do you manage your time, between family, work, social networking and blogging?  

I am often asked if I have a hard time revealing my personal life on social media, but my answer is always the same: "we only show what we want to show". When I do a fashion show for example, I will show the best moments, but what Snapchat or Instagram don't say is that behind this event, I waited 7 hours doing nothing before showing...

My husband takes the photos so I am dependent on his schedule too. Not always easy to manage since on weekends, we don't always feel like shooting a look... But for the past year, we have managed to find a nice balance! We make a good duo, I think. 

Did one collaboration/partnership stand out for you more than others? And if so, which one?

Every new collaboration makes me the happiest in the world, so I can't answer that question.

What would you like to undertake or develop next?

I let life guide me to avoid any disappointment.

Do you produce your own visuals and photos? And if so, what equipment do you use?

The photos of the outfits are taken by my husband as previously indicated. As for the Instagram photos, so the travel or food articles, I take them myself and always with my Canon EOS 100 D and a lot with my smartphone, especially to feed Instagram, it's simpler. I don't use any editing software because it doesn't really interest me. Having done a bit of modeling, I ended up with retouching that visibly traumatized me... I don't want to hear about it anymore.

What advice would you give to other influencers in the community?

Regular presence, once again! You have to constantly feed, be active and have proximity, an exchange with your community.

And what would you say is your main secret to success?

Very good question! JOKER, I have no idea. Oh yes, maybe I'm not cheating. If I said above that I only showed what I wanted, I'm still showing reality. When I shoot a look, it's really what I wear every day even if some people may have a little trouble imagining that I'm always perched on heels! But that's the case!

What do you think of Value Your Network? Do you have any specific comments you'd like us to improve?

I thought it might be interesting to organize some partnerships with products. A brand-blogger exchange in addition to campaigns in order to be the intermediary between the two.

Could you send me some photos that sum up your world well? And comment on them if you wish?
