MEET THE FIND: 'Doing Less' with Melanie Marshall Co-Founder of Storksak Female Founders
This week we have managed to pin down the fabulous Melanie Marshall, co-founder of Storksak.
'Storksak started when our first son was tiny, and I realised how important a good bag was going to be. Working part-time, I locked myself out a few too many times, and realised I needed to have just one bag all the time. With a little spark of an idea, we grew the brand we have today. Suzi Bergman my business partner and close friend and I have continued with the same ethos we began with; build a business of our own that we can grow around our families.'
3 TIPS ON DOING LESS WITH MELANIE
- Take a short walk each day, no matter what. I sometimes notice, that even in the midst of chaos, a few minutes outside can change one’s perspective for the better.
- When you plan out what you need to do, aim to do about 20% less.
- Day dream even for a few minutes a day!
MELANIE'S BEST TRAVEL TIP
Pack and then take out about 10% of it! You can always manage with less.
MELANIE'S FAVOURITE PRODUCT
Brush On Block powder sunscreen. This looks amazing, never seen something like this before! I love the idea of a powder sunscreen, as sometimes in the summer, you just don’t want to add another cream.
