10 questions asked to Chloé & You, an April Please customer
1/ Chloé & You, can you introduce yourself in a few words?
Nice to meet you! I'm Chloé and I'm an "influencer" or "content creator", it's complicated to put a name to this new job. I mainly share our little family life, recipes and our responsible consumption. I touch on pretty much all the topics of daily life, ethical fashion, beauty, parenting, healthy and vegetarian food, "zero waste"...
2/ Today, what does being a woman mean to you? What kind of woman are you?
Being true to yourself, knowing how to detach yourself from the judgment of others and especially from the one society has placed on us, daring to say when things are not going well (it's a great strength contrary to what society makes us believe), being gentle, empathetic, strong and so many other things. Above all, you have to allow yourself to be who you are, without waiting for others' approval.
3/ You left everything behind to change your life 2 years ago. Today you are a business owner, mom, wife, woman, friend... How do you feel?
Tired but more fulfilled than ever! Becoming a mom was like a second birth for me. So even if it's not easy every day, I feel very happy in this new life where I always try to take time for myself, that's the key!
To take good care of others, you must first take care of yourself.
And I am lucky to have a wonderful husband with whom we balance each other perfectly. And by the way, he joined me in this content creation adventure a year ago now! We work a lot and at the same time we always try to take advantage of the benefit of being freelance to have this feeling of being a little bit on vacation all the time.
4/ If you had to give 3 tips for a more fulfilled life, they would be…
- Taking care of yourself
- Never letting a problem settle in, talking and finding the best possible balance
- Enjoying all the moments of happiness in present life and stop believing that it will be better after
5/ What do you think is a woman's greatest asset?
Her self-confidence!
6/ A mantra or a motto that has followed you for a long time and makes you move forward?
"Be the change you want to see in the world".
I don't know if we call it a mantra but this phrase by Gandhi resonates with me.
7/ What is the new habit that you recently introduced into your life to take care of yourself?
Doing meditation! I still have a lot of trouble but I'm getting into it little by little. It helps me take a step back, to calm down, to find new ideas, to regain energy and of course, for the more spiritual side, to connect to my deep "self".
8/ What is your latest “leap of faith”?
The release of an ebook very soon but shhh!
9/ At April Please we also love taking risks that's why our jewelry is a little rebellious! In the right place, upside down, mismatched, layered, twisted... What is your personal touch, your fashion signature?
Wearing natural tones as close as possible to the colors of the earth!
10/ Last question, for you April Please is…
Chic, quirky, original & handmade in Paris (and that's so cool!)
