Bettina is not your typical 17 y/o girl. With a passion for fashion and a concrete direction when it comes to career, at a very young age, Bettina knows what she wants in life. Bettina is more than the pretty façade and tall structure, so we took the chance and had a little talk with her, to get to know her better.
Tell us something about you and your blog.
I am Bettina Micu, 17 years old making me one of Dubai’s (if not youngest) youngest bloggers. I run a Fashion & Lifestyle Blog at http://bettina-micu.com and I’ve been in the game for a year and a half now. I started out my blog as a hobby and it still remains a hobby to me till this day, It has been my personal online dairy and I it has been such a joy to be able to inspire so many young adults to follow their dreams, especially in this day in age that we live in.
I have spent my whole life in Dubai, though I am a full-blooded Filipino I’d like to think that I am a perfect mix of both cultures. I have developed a love and knowledge for both countries I am determined to make a mark in the Fashion Industry representing both.
What or who inspired you to start your blog?
I have always known I wanted to do something in Fashion since a very young age, though not everyone was so supportive of me knowing how competitive it is in the industry that just gave me more drive to go into what I had a passion towards.
Through out all high school I would look up to these Fashion Bloggers and Vloggers and once I graduated I thought, you know what I could do that! Knowing there weren’t as much bloggers in Dubai yet I thought there is no better time to start but now.
So heelsindubaisand.blogspot.com (my first blog) was created at 3 am in the morning on October 3rd 2014. I had such an adrenaline rush while filling up the sign up form on google for my blog I knew that this was the start of something that would carry out and determine the next year and a half of my life. I actually tear up every time I look back at that moment.
What would your advice be for anyone who wanted to start a blog?
My advice would be stay consistent, I definitely know I struggle with staying consistent but when you are at that point when you feel drained, uninspired and just unmotivated you should go out and find it. Art galleries and hanging out with blogger friends help me a lot with getting back in the groove of blogging whenever I get side tracked, it just reminds me how much I actually love doing what I love and how much fun it actually is!
Who are your favorite bloggers?
For sure Margaret Zhang, she reminds me how hard work and dedication can actually bring you some where, I always stalk her first few posts just to see in comparison with what she’s doing now and it truly inspires me to keep on going.
Other bloggers include Aimee Song, Sarah Donaldson, Samantha Maria, etc…
If you could be someone else in a day, whose life would you want to experience and why?
Definitely no questions asked, Margaret Zhang. I just want to experience how crazy it would be and I think it would give me so much motivation to strive for a life like that.
