What is your favourite thing about blogging?
That we get to give it away! We love developing and selling products, but our favourite is when we get to give it all away and share it with everyone! Blogging is pretty much just that, you get to give content away for free. :)
How do you stay inspired?
I try to do creative and engaging things that have nothing to do with my job to help me stay inspired. I try to keep up with hobbies that I don't blog about (like reading novels!) or I try to keep a project or two going that I don't plan to show anyone. That way, I feel free to experiment and just have fun and if it turns out bad it doesn't matter. You gotta give yourself freedom to fail.
How do you stop procrastination when your work for yourself?
Make to-do lists and do them. Sounds simple, and really I guess it is. But I try to make a to-do list everyday and just work toward marking everything off the list. It keeps me on track and feeling accomplished everyday.
What’s it like working with your sister?
We love it! Neither of us would be where we are today without each other. Elsie is my business partner soul mate.
What is the best thing you have learnt in the creative business world?
Remember to keep things professional. Even if someone hurts your feelings always keep your language and actions professional. And then the second thing I would say is to repeat your successes. If you have a big winner find a way to do something similar. Finding ways to let your customers respond and then taking their feedback into consideration when developing projects is great.
What is your favourite recipe of all time? Baked macaroni. I LOVE it. :)
When did you learn to cook?
My mom, cookbooks and the internet. I haven't taken any cooking classes (although I would love to some day) so I've learned everything I know from experimenting and the advice of others.
Do you have any tips for writing recipes/exploring in the kitchen?
I think exploring in the kitchen is the best thing that anyone wanting to learn can to. I also think that's the best attitude! That exploring is the key word, just try to it out and see what you like.
What is your best blogging tip for a small blogger?
Keep going, enjoy it and take the best photos you can!
I hope you enjoyed this old interview I did with Emma Chapman! All the photos on this post are from A Beautiful Mess.
