What do you love most about your job and why?
We LOVE the flexibility of managing our own hours and being our own boss. We also love working with a group of girls that we hand picked. It’s been great…everyone has fun and laughs and works hard at the same time!

Getting women red carper ready is also a great feeling. Watching a woman’s confidence go up in a matter of minutes with a simple blo out is the best thing that we have experienced so far.

We also love what we do because we come from completely different, and serious, professional backgrounds (healthcare and federal government) so getting involved with Blo has been such a fun, exciting and completely opposite of what we are used to doing professionally. We keep thinking that we are supposed to be stressed out and worried like new business owners should be but so far we have been fortunate. We have had such strong and endless support from Blo Corporate Office and our friends and family. It’s made us LOVE our job even more!

Do you have any recommendations for business reads for women in business?
We are always on the look out for inspiring ideas and lessons on managing our team and business. We are new to owning a business so basically anything we can get our hands on we will read and learn from.

What do you CRAVE?
We definitely CRAVE chocolate everyday! Thank god we are on our feet everyday because we can work those calories off! The sun, sand and beach are obvious favorites too…hopefully we can get away sometime this year and get our Vitamin D dose!

Any advice for future entreprenesses?
Starting a business can be scary and you may not know what direction to go in. Step One: ask a million questions! Look in your network of friends and family who have been successful (professionally and personally) and talk to them about your goals and how you plan to get there. Get their feedback and really listen to what they have to offer. They’re firsthand knowledge and lessons learned are invaluable. Last but not least is to follow your gut. We strongly believe women have that special instincts, so if you have a really strong feeling something is going to be successful, go for it, work hard and things will fall into place!

xo, Jenny & Karen
