With more than 1,3 million followers on her Instagram<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>account, she\u2019s one of the IT-Girls that every fashion addicted loves, and not only for her outfits of the day. Did you know that her greatest dream is to make the world a better place? Don\u2019t miss The Blonde Salad<\/strong> interview to Xenia Adonts!<\/p>\n

Influencer, model, blogger…you’re so many things Xenia! Is there a word that you prefer to use to define yourself?
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

I prefer digital talent!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When you were a child, which was your dream job? Is it close to what you’re doing right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to become many things: astronaut, animal doctor, lawyer, and finally, an investment banker. Nothing even close to fashion J<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When did you launch your blog<\/u><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and your Instagram account and what did you expect? Would you ever imagine such a great success?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I launched it in 2015 and I never expected to even earn a cent with it. I didn\u2019t know that this was even possible. I was just uploading my daily life without any goal or intention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some people know you as Xenia Van Der Woodsen, others as Xenia Overdose, but now you prefer to use your real name Xenia Adonts. Which of all these \u201cXenias\u201d represent you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not feel an identity with Xenia van der Woodsen, which was my alias for quite some time. I chose this name to protect myself and my family when I started posting on Instagram\u00a0 party pics or fitness photos. I knew that if I wanted to apply for a regular job these photos could be a problem. Also, my dad works in finance and consulting, so I did not want his clients to find me when they searched his last name Adonts on the web. I did not know this could turn into something super professional and now I am proud of doing what I do that’s why I changed my name. It feels better to stay true to yourself.<\/p>\n
