Whether you have a blog for your personal brand or a website and everything else that goes with a business, you'll have made decisions about your branding. From the colours you use to the fonts, layout and more, your decisions when it comes to branding speak before people get to the words you write. But branding isn't just a logo, far from it, and that's why I was so excited to speak to Fiona Humb...

The final countdown to Christmas is on, and if you're a brand, blogger or influencer, you need to be making plans for Christmas! For shops and brands, Christmas is a big deal, and that's why working out your content when you have a little breathing space before it all starts properly is a really good idea.

Something she really needed more of as her father was very ill during this period. This c...

I don't feel I have this nailed. But I hope that in sharing this and how I 'do it all' you might feel inspired, take a little comfort from the fact that we're all winging it, or get a few ideas on how to make your work/...
