Hi, I’m Sarah and I have known Charlotte for about 5 years. We first met when I needed a new changing bag for my twins and our friendship has grown ever since. I introduced lots of my fellow twin Mums to Mia Tui too, so we would look like a mobile shop when we all go out together for the day.
I am a single Mum to gorgeous twin girls, aged 7, called Amelia and Elise. They mean the world to me, not just because they were my miracle babies, but because they just give life more meaning. They are so much fun and as they are still at the age of believing in fairies, elves and Father Christmas, I can do the most wonderful things that they truly believe have been done by their little friends….although 24 days of Elf antics at Christmas can be a little challenging !!
I love working for Mia Tui and I have always enjoyed talking to customers trying to ensure that they get just what they need. When I had my own business selling scarves, jewellery, bath bombs, candles etc it was always the same….making people happy by finding the thing right for them.
I love coming up with ideas for new products, although Charlotte would probably prefer if I didn’t come up with quite so many!!
I am also charged with answering the blog questions so here goes…..
1. WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
I was born and grew up in Bedford but went to college at Oxford Polytechnic…nothing like a May Day in Oxford !!
2. TEA OR COFFEE?
Predominantly coffee…but I only drink de-caffeinated in both so I can’t even turn to that to give me a pick me up.
3. IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT COULD YOU NOT LIVE WITHOUT?
I would need my phone and internet….as long as my girls were with me then life would be fine.
4. FAVOURITE SEASON?
Summer, mainly because we have a chance of some warm sun and a chance to get out and enjoy what is around us but I love Autumn too as the colours change and things get fresher.
5. BEST BOOK YOU HAVE EVER READ?
I get very little chance to read but I loved the Harry Potter series of books. I couldn’t put them down as I needed to know how his journey and adventures would progress.
6. IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO SLEEP WHAT WOULD YOU USE THE TIME TO DO?
Sleep…oh something you miss when you have little people !! If I didn’t have to sleep I would exercise more ( I have recently taken up running ) and try and relax a little… in between trying to sort my house out ( I’m a serial hoarder !! )
7. WHICH MIA TUI BAG ARE YOU CURRENTLY USING AND WHY?
I’m currently using an Olivia as I do seem to carry quite a bit….but it also saves changing it when I am out with the girls with the extra drinks bottles and wipes that I’m not sure I will ever leave the house without again.
8. WHAT ITEM OF CLOTHING IS YOUR “GO TO”?
I couldn’t live without my jeans, wedge ankle boots and comfy tops. I’m quite short at 5ft 1 ½” so have to try and dress to make myself look taller!
9. AFTER A LONG DAY AT THE MIA TUI OFFICE, WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL WIND DOWN?
Once my girls are tucked up in bed you will find me with a cold glass of prosecco and cheese and biscuits. I love watching Masterchef Australia ( they find the most talented cooks on there ), GBBO and murder/mystery/crime programmes…..always fancied myself as a bit of a detective !!
Don’t try to make yourself look taller,Sarah,…… good things come in small packages……. just like Molly purses!
