Get to Know Us

 

Hey Dolls! Welcome to AskOliveJames. My name is Lesa Taylor, my best friend Krista and I have been obsessing over make-up, clothes, travel, babies, photography, food and fashion for many years. We finally decided it was time to share our life hacks with all of you. Let me start off by saying either of us are experts in the field of “giving advice” we are not medical professionals, but we do bring honestly, lots of combined education and a ton of real life experiences that we would love to share with all of you. I am a brand new Mom, my daughter Olive James has become my full time job! But before Olive James I was in the modeling and fashion industry. Then once I felt I had had enough of the fashion industry I went back to school- not once but twice. The final outcome- a Masters Degree in Liberal studies focusing on crisis management and image restoration. Thought this was going to be my ultimate path but got side tracked, I met my husband Will. Together we opened a fly fishing business in North Ga called Fly Shop Co. So you see I have a very dynamic life. With that being said, I want to share with you all what I have learned. Krista and I want this blog to be an open forum for women to get helpful tips and insight into things we find interesting and hope you do too. Please connect with us. We would love to hear your feedback.

 

 

Hello World! My name is Krista and I am one half of AskOliveJames. If you love anything lifestyle related, this is the blog for you. I am so excited to meet you all and I can’t wait to share the many lifestyle tips I have gathered over the years.  For so long I have wanted to start a blog but I guess I never felt I could do it. So many people are starting blogs these days so after researching the various sites out there online, I decided, if they can do one then I can too. I am so blessed to have my best friend Lesa doing the blog with me as she has so many ideas to share as well. I have been obsessed with anything skincare, makeup, travel and healthcare since I was a young girl. I was the little girl asking for makeup at age 5 years old for Christmas. My family calls me a skincare and makeup junkie because it literally is what I spend most of my paycheck on, besides my dogs of course. A little about me.  I went back to school to receive an MBA and MHA while working, so I want to let you all know, never be afraid to go back to get your education. As Benjamin Franklin would say, ” An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Oh and don’t be surprised to see Quotes pop up from time to time, I am a little obsessed. I have recently gone back for a 3rd Masters in Environmental Science focusing on Wildlife and Conservation.  I have lived in 4 states (California, New York, Ohio and Kentucky) and I have traveled to 48 states and 8 countries, so I will be sharing my love of travel as well. 

So welcome to our site and please comment and share if you like what you see. We are so thrilled to have you join our journey. We hope you enjoy and please don’t be afraid to leave critiques. We want to make this the best Lifestyle Blog possible. Oh and that beautiful little girl in the featured image, that is our inspiration for our name, Olive James. Since I don’t have children of my own, I am going to obsess over her until she gets tired of me or her mommy Lesa says enough is enough. 🙂

 

Shout Out to one of my other best friends DeRonda Roper for our gorgeous logo. Lesa and I wanted something that reflects both of us and she captured it perfectly.
