And you need to love what you’re doing, what you’re saying, and why you’re doing it. There is a direct and clear relation to effort put in and results coming out. You need to put hard work and time in, and also focus on content and design. You need to network, promote, and connect. But I think it’s important for people starting out to understand that it’s not going to just happen. I did not shy away from the hard work, and I committed to it. I would say that the blog grew because I worked at it, every single day, five days a week, for six straight years. My husband paired his photography with these recipes, which gave a whole new dimension to the content I was sharing. I graduated from nutrition school and people were always asking me to share favorite recipes and tips, so I started my blog to share what I was learning and some of my favorite healthy recipes with friends. Q: What did you do before Lemon Stripes? What inspired you to start blogging? How did you grow your blog?Ī: My background is in holistic nutrition. But I also balance my work with my family, friends - and our puppy, Boots. I take an hour for lunch, settle back in and focus on work until about 5 or so. And Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are “days for me.” I wake up at the same time, take our dog for a walk, have a healthy breakfast (see her smoothie recipe for inspiration!), get settled, start writing and working on my blog post. I use Mondays and Fridays to go to the city, take meetings, have photo shoots, etc. This is what I have found works best for me. How are you acclimating to this new phase? Do you find you have days that are more routine-based, or is each day a brand new adventure?Ī:I find that having a schedule truly helps keep me organized and on-task - and productive and happy. we are so happy for you as you embark on this next chapter as a full-time lifestyle blogger. If you haven’t met Julia and Lemon Stripes before, wait not one minute longer… We think you’ll love her as much as we do. She has built her blog into a real go-to for thousands of followers (over 101,000 on Instagram!) to find style and design inspiration, for healthy and delicious recipes, and for great home decor tips that you will actually want to use… and her blog is so beautiful to look at and travel in. True to form, she was even more wonderful to talk with than we could have even imagined. We were lucky enough to sit down and talk with lifestyle blogger, Julia Dzafic, from Lemon Stripes.
