As you may already know, Rob and I have been running Hoadys for just over 2 years now. We launched the website in February 2021, and things have certainly changed and evolved since then - but perhaps not enough.
As the sunshine slowly creeps its way back into our lives again, I wanted to discuss my thoughts and feelings on body image around the summertime. I’m in no way claiming that I have the ability to write from every person’s experience - this is just mine.
Hello lovely reader! We wanted to give you guys a little life update so as not to completely blindside you when it comes around in June. We're going to Japan!
I remember in the first summer season for the business, Rob came to me concerned, not knowing how to advertise our candles over the hotter months. ‘People only buy candles in winter’, he said. I thought it might be an interesting topic of discussion.
As some of you may know from reading previous blog posts, it’s part of my job role to design and create all of the labels and packaging for Hoadys. I thought it might be fun today to let you in a little on how I got started with this, and some of my design choices behind the different packaging we have.
I think that ‘self care’ is a phrase that people tend to throw around a lot, often very flippantly, without actually knowing what it means. Let’s look up the definition, shall we?
Today on the blog I wanted to, instead of telling you one of our own personal stories, tell somebody else's. Hoadys is all about telling stories and celebrating all facets of love, and this story is definitely one that is full of love, and should be shared with you all.
Since starting at Hoadys in early 2021, my job role has gone through quite the evolution. When you think of the face of our brand, the person that comes to mind is probably Rob. You would have seen a few of his videos on TikTok, and most likely think of me as just ‘his girlfriend that works with him’.
As some of you may know, Rob and I have been running our small business together for around two years now, and I thought it might be interesting to let you in a little on the experience of working full time with your partner.
Sometimes when people close to you are going through a difficult time - grief, a breakup, an illness - it can be really challenging to know how to reach out and let them know you’re thinking about them.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner for us Brit’s, and I thought it might be a good topic of conversation to cover. Not everyone’s relationship with their mum is the same. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it’s completely different for every single person on this planet.
I feel like I've been telling this story over and over and over again for the past two years to every new person I’ve met - whether it’s a mutual friend I've met at a party, a hairdresser or my tattoo artist - and yet here I am, to tell it again.
