Day 3: Reader Q&A - Tracy



Just for fun, I'm doing my first video blog today.  I'm answering Tracy's question.  Tracy has a great blog Have Less, Do More, and she also published her first eBook recently.  We were eBook buddies and helped each other get inspired and face the fear!


Tracy asked:

How do you come up with all of your chic ideas?


Miss Jessica co-stars while I answer this question, because honestly what's a video blog without a housecat.  You'll see her having a good scratch near the end.  What can I say, she's such a lady.  And don't even get me started about her tipping the camera over.

Edited to add:  You can also watch this video on YouTube if you are having trouble viewing it on the blog.

  2. Hey that was fun! It's lovely to see you "live" Fiona and to hear that Kiwi accent. I have no accent of course. ;)

  3. Hi, Fiona:
    I really enjoyed this. You are a natural in front of a camera and have such a soothing speaking voice and calmness about you. However, Jessica stole the show. I couldn't stop laughing at her doing her own thing.

  5. Me too Rose, I don't have an accent either :)

    Deborah, that Jessica is a lens hogger. She obviously loves the limelight. Maybe I could become a stage mother.

  7. I laughed so hard! I have a cat too and am familiar with their tendency to steal the limelight. Maybe next time Miss Jessica would prefer to sit in another room while you do your thing (and I do hope there's a next time, as this video was such fun - what a treat to hear your thoughts in your own voice!).

  8. Bonjour Fiona,
    Great video and so nice to video-meet you and Jessica - who looks very much like mine, Mademoiselle: black and white but with medium hair.
    Have a great day.

  10. Great vlog - of course you don't hava an accent (i live in Wellington). I also think Italians in nz are some of the most stylish.

    Interesting, you get inspiration all around you - since coming back to nz after 15 yrs in london i whinge to myself that there is mot much chic inspiration here - now I feel I just need to look a bit more closely! Aisling x

  12. Hi Fiona! I know this isn't the correct place to leave a question for the question bank, but I too would like to hear more about your not drinking (if you still aren't). I have been wanting to quit altogether for a long time and admire those who do!-Carla.

  13. You are a natural in front of the camera. I so enjoyed this. I also enjoyed seeing Jessica's video debut! I think I will incorporate carrying a little notebook around when inspiration hits. Great idea.
