Yin and Yang: How do you balance work and family?
I’m extremely lucky that I have the ability to work from home around my kids and their activities. I also do a lot of making when my three kids are in bed. My eldest is about to turn five and start school so you can ask me that question again in a few weeks and it may be a different answer. My husband is also super supportive and steps in to help me make the wax wraps sometimes.
The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
There are always many challenges while running a small business. Especially when taking over one that is already well established. I struggle with the financial side of the business as I’m so passionate about the creative side of it all.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
A positive would have to be my ability to create my own hours and work around my family. I set my own workload but of course, that also means that I only get out what I put in. A negative would be managing all the other parts of the business that you wouldn’t have to do if you were working for someone else, such as admin, tax, reports and social media.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I’d love to see my business flourish but I also would love to educate people on what they are putting on their skin. We look at food labels constantly but hardly ever do we look at what we put on our body.
