I don’t think too much about having a personal brand because I don’t think too much about what other people think about me. My focus is on the kind of person I want to be and I make sure all of my actions line up with that.
As an aside, the term “influencer” will forever sound ridiculous to me.

25 years here and most years nothing, it’s not a hugely important day for us…he’s bought me flowers a couple of times when I’ve asked for them, and we’ve done the token chocolate thing a few times, but that’s it.

I know it isn’t supposed to mean this, but “personal brand” always makes me think of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde with her pink, scented resume.

In general, I am very uncomfortable with self-promotion (and I have the behind-the-scenes roles to match), so this is actually something I should focus on, because I won’t do it otherwise.

In reply to London afternoon tea. Fish and chips at Fortnum and mason might work well for kids. Their milkshakes used to be good too.

In reply to anon. My mom's birthday is on Valentine's Day and my daughter's birthday is the day after, so we do not ever celebrate as just a couple. I do get my kids small gifts for Valentine's day though.

In reply to anon. I love the colors and any excuse for a break in the routine. I’m blowing up some balloons, buying some flowers for the dining table, getting my husband a few small treats (think card, candy bar he likes), and we will probably order pizza or do a “fire picnic” with fancy cheese and crackers. It’s mellow, at home, but fun. Married 10 years.
