#154: The Past, Present, and Future of Blogging

This is our first mini episode! We're going to try out post TWO episodes each week- a full length episode (like what you've been used to so far) and a mini, which will be under 20 minutes and stick to just one quick subject! We would, OF COURSE, love to hear your requests for future mini episodes. And this first episode is all about what we bought during the quarantine. Visit the shownotes at abeautifulmess.com/podcast.

This week we're tackling a much-requested topic— the business side of short term rentals. As many of you know we own a few properties we rent out on airbnb (visit the 'properties' tab at abeautifulmess.com for details) and we've learned so much from how to purchase the right property, to setting it up and running it in a way that fits with our lifestyle.

This week, we are talking about childhood magic — lessons we learned from our parents about living well and living creatively. Elsie also shares practical things parents can do with young children. But even if you aren't a parent, we think you'll enjoy this feel good episode. :) We are also sharing a couple Guilty Pleasure Treasures as well as a mini update on how our New Year's goals are going so far!

This week we are taking a break from our usual home-stuff and talking about clean skincare and beauty. So many of you have requested this episode. It's a bit of a wildcard, but a subject that we care so deeply about! I hope it is helpful or at least a fun listen. Visit our show notes at abeautifulmess.com/podcast for more information.

This week's episode is based on a reader question about if there's anything we'd do differently from our weddings (which were seven and nine years ago now). It was fun to remember our special days and serve up a bit of advice for anyone planning a wedding now. Hope you enjoy it!
