Shocking, I know.

Two entire years of creating content, working with brands, shooting 5 outfits a day on a Sunday afternoon to meet all of my deadlines for the following week – it sounds exhausting, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Over the last two years I look back and ask myself why I actually started Spoonful of Trish and the initial reason may come as a surprise to some of you. Rewind to 2016, I started selling clothes on Poshmark and absolutely fell in love with community of posh sellers and that this little side hustle enabled me to try out all the new trends while recycling them to a new closet when the seasons changed.

With nearly 300,000 Poshmark followers, I thought starting a blog would help drive more users to my page, aka more sales. I never in a million years actually thought this website would turn into becoming a full-blown influencer working directly with my all-time favorite brands.

I get asked a lot how I balance it all: working a 9-5, being a wife, eating/sleeping/trying to exercise while simultaneously working to grow my platform. During the week there’s a lot of early mornings and late evenings emailing back and forth with brands, sending invoices, editing photos, drafting creative captions, engaging with followers, and tons of other behind the scenes work.

My weekends usually consist of shooting no less than 5 campaigns to post throughout the the following week – which either entails bringing 5 outfits to a location such a Georgetown and changing in my car between looks, or setting up product shoots inside my apartment or at hotels I’m working with.

Blogging/influencing has become such a passion for me and a creative outlet for me to express myself – and I pour every ounce of spare time working to create the best content and inspiration for my followers. Spoonful of Trish went from a hobby to a side business which has grown from 4,000 to 12,000 followers in the last year – which is so incredibly humbling.

I also spend a lot of time connecting with other bloggers to bounce ideas off each other, share our experiences, and form a community of collaboration and not competition. I’ve learned so much about the industry in the last 2 years I love to pass on any tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way as I truly want all of my blogger friends to succeed – I might even start a blogger course one day soon.

Thank you from the bottom of the heart for all of your support these last 2 years – I can’t wait to see what year 3 brings!

xoxo,

Trish
