Calling all health nuts, fitness enthusiasts, whole-foods lovers, beach body badasses and any and all recipe creators!

Are you wondering if and how you can use Canva to create stunning recipes for your peeps?

The answer is YES, and I’m going to show you how.
 

So you spent your energy, a shiz load of time, and a whole lotta hope on creating a business with no borders. The idea was that you get to live the dream and work from home, on your own schedule, with just you as boss. You get to take coffee dates, sleep in, work late and have more flexibility than Simone Biles. You also know there’s some wiggle room for when you decide to bring a baby into the mix…..but how do you actually prepare for that?

When I was preparing our business for my own maternity leave people kept saying, “You can’t ever prepare for a baby.” Even though that’s true with regards to your little human, I wholeheartedly disagree when it comes to your business. You don’t have to go into your leave (whether it be for a baby, a sabbatical or time off for health) blind. In fact, you can go into it with a solid blueprint and business manual for how things will run while you’re away.

When I started my business, I knew that my daughter, Olivia, would be involved somehow. I had always included her in “big girl” things (age appropriately, of course!). She was my little sidekick, so I ended up naming the company after her. Over the years, I have been surprised by how much of the business she has been interested in. She has learned so much from being involved, and I am here to encourage you to involve your kids in your business, too.

One of the key trainings in my Canva course is about setting up your computer and Canva account like a pro. 

As biz babes, automation and organization are key when creating graphics for our businesses.  And if graphics are something you use and create on a daily basis, it’s crucial that you implement these three easy steps to help you save time, be more organized and feel more confident with the time you spend in Canva. 

If you're anything like me, you not only own a label maker but you also find any excuse to use it and get excited about organizing things by category whenever possible.

Before styling visuals for femmepreneurs using Canva, I was a home and food stylist. I love it when things have structure and order. I love it when everything has a home and is easy to find. I also love it when I can add my own personal touch whether it be in my business or home. That’s exactly why I started creating my own labels so that I could create what I needed in the colors I loved on a whim.

You just launched your online store and you’re excited about all of the possibilities that having an online business brings, like more money and more freedom. You’ve worked hard to create a really great product and stock your store full of inventory that you know your customers will love. But when your website goes live, all you get is crickets. Here's how to get massive traffic to your online store (even without a marketing budget!). 

Getting to work from home and making your own rules (and breaking them too) is the dream, right? We’re our own bosses (usually for the first time) and the freedom tastes so good. Until you look up and realize you stopped for a “mind break” and ended up catching up on an entire season of Criminal Minds on Netflix. Here's how to lazy-proof your day, plus get 22 time-saving hacks! 

Here’s the thing: as business owners we’re constantly on the look for photography that coordinates with our brand and sometimes those come at a hefty price tag, so you should really be making the most out of your images so that you can get more than one use from each stock photo. Get my best tips for strategic cropping to get every inch of goodness out of your stock photo.
