1. When did VUZU contact you about appearing on Rich Kids & what made you agree to open yourself up to South Africa?

They contacted me two weeks before filming. I agreed because I wanted to show society that not every girl has a blesser. I also wanted to show a glimpse into the life of a blogger. The show didn't reveal that much of my life just glimpses into a normal day.

2. What does a normal day look like for Lauren?

My day normally starts at varsity. Afterwards I either have meetings with public relations companies or I have an event. Then I usualy come home and do some work for my parents’ NGO.

3. You are most know for your Instagram posts. Tell us your process before choosing the right picture?

I have a certain esthetic to my posts. Instagram is not as easy as people think. There are so many things you need to think about. Is the lighting good? Will I be inspired by this picture? Does it draw the right kind of attention? I also try and put up quotes in that empower and inspire women. I believe that women should know their worth and love themselves.

4. What is the most expensive thing you've purchased?

It’s most likely a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I can't really remember price, but it was probably worth around R15 000.

5. What is you favourite place in the world?

I would have to say it's Cape Town. I miss Table Mountain when I'm travelling. I have the view of table mountain and the city bowl from my balcony and nothing bets it!

6. How often do you travel and which place have you been?

I do travel twice a year. I have been to different places the U.S, U.K and U.A.E.

7. Once a year you visit Dallas, Texas can you tell us why?

I go to Dallas to visit close family & friends and I’m able to just get away. Dallas is like a second home now. I even know how to navigate the highways. It's very close to my heart.

8. Why do you choose to make your life so public?

You can’t be a lifestyle blogger without making your life public. I work with brands and incorporate them into my day-to-day life. If my lifestyle isn't public I won't be able to work with the various brands.

9. The general consensus is that blogging doesn’t pay. Do you agree?

No. I make money through doing campaigns, blog posts, Instagram posts, Twitter posts, appearances, attending events & reviewing products.

I also freelance at the moment helping brands with their social media management and branding.

Furthermore, I do work for my families NGO as their communications manager.

I’m also want to start a communications company next year or open a nail bar. I’m still deciding which one to start first, but I definitely want to do both.
