Businesses/ Entrepreneurs/ Start-ups CALL OUT FOR BLOG PROFILE

I'm looking for business owners, entrepreneurs, influencers and start ups to profile as part of a series of blogs. 

You often hear the phrases 'write what you know' or 'work in an area you're passionate about'. For me that is business. 

My parents have had their own business for most of my life. I have worked for them for many years while I studied and was fortunate enough to have the freedom to learn the ins and outs of every business function. With this experience and the qualifications I picked up along the way I progressed into business training with RTO's and before commencing maternity leave (which is still going two years later) I worked under my own business name taking on selected contracts. I loved being paid to spend my days looking a businesses, pulling apart strategies and researching cultures and ideas.

Stay-at-home mum life means my thirst for the business world has been rather neglected and I'm often on Facetime to Mum while she's in the office offering unsolicited advice while I clean up discarded bolognese sauce from the wall, floor and ceiling (WTF).

So to help me keep up what is going on out there in business land, connect small businesses with new audiences and share some tips and tricks along the way, I'm putting together a series of posts on businesses and business owners.

Think of it as a magazine article or profile. These are in no way paid or sponsored posts. I want to share stories of what it takes to run a business. I'll send you some questions about how you started your business, ask what you have learnt and your advice for those starting out.

Store Edit: Building a capsule wardrobe at Forever New

Welcome to my new series of blogs 'Store Edit' where I pull together my favourite pieces from my go-to stores. Forever New is always top of my list for timeless pieces that age well - in particular, I have about seven of their blazers on high rotation in closet. Also, if you've been here for more than five minutes you'd be well aware that I am a fan of a monochrome palette and a capsule wardrobe that works for you. A little black dress, versatile heels, structured blazer, neutral accessories and classic basics can make getting ready each day enjoyable rather than utter torture. Check out my edit of what I'm eyeing off for when the baby bump has departed!  Deena Lace Drape Midi Dress $159.99 Kiki Cage Clutch $59.99 Viviana Long-Sleeved Linen Shirt $79.99 Bella High-Rise Sculpting Jeans $89.99 Penelope Two-Part Court Heels $69.99 Aurelia 13" Laptop Bag $89.99 Ava Boyfriend Blazer $89.99 Please note: this is in no way sponsore...

How we got baby to sleep through the night* **

Back when all I could do was imagine her sleeping there.  *we have no freaking idea. This post gives no real advice and is not selling a sleep program. It is purely a recount of my experience so far. ** Daisy is sleeping through at the moment. She is not teething yet but she is about to enter a leap. We are by no means under the illusion that this is forever. Daisy sleeping through the night happened by accident. We just woke up one morning and realised that she hadn't woken up. Cue the diving out of bed to check she was still breathing. We stood at the cot and grinned at each other for a really long time. The next night it happened again. The third night, she woke us up. "But Daisy," I said, "you sleep through now,". She had a bottle and went back to sleep. We haven't really worked at setting a routine but fell into one anyway. She has a bath every night, a bottle and then is either rocked to sleep or placed into her cradle in our room awake but sl...

How to save money while shopping online

With Christmas just around the corner I’ve put together a list of tips I’ll be following to make the most of my spending over the festive season. This isn’t about cutting back but more about getting more value for your money! Cash-back Programs ShopBack and similar companies offer discounts just for accessing the store via their website. My trick is not to go looking just because there is a good deal - if I want to p urchase something I find online I will then go to the website to see if they are an affiliated store. Discount Codes Many influencers have discount codes, especially for small businesses. Plus, adds-on like Honey will perform a search for you to find recently used codes. Shipping can be a killer so look for codes for this and consider if click and collect is worth your time. Store Rewards Programs Keep tabs on store rewards programs especially around your birthday. Recently I brought a watch that was originally $199 for $13.95. It went on sale for $99, I had $95 rewar...
