BFF Goals: Bloggers Jessie Khoo & Jo Hombsch

RY: What’s the best beauty tip you’ve ever received?

JESSIE: Invest in good quality beauty products.

JO: It would have to be invest in your skin from a young age and keep it up throughout your life. Even from a young age, I remember my mum making a point of this…oh, and drink lots of water!

RY: Describe your personal style in three words.

JESSIE: Casual, fun, edgy.

JO: Classic, effortless and fun.

On Life as an Influencer

RY: Do you share ideas and inspiration when it comes to work?

JESSIE: Always! We often help each other shoot so it goes hand in hand.

JO: Yes, we do. We’re always sharing ideas for our next shoots and chatting about similar projects we both have coming up.

RY: If you weren’t an influencer, what would you be?

JESSIE: A fashion designer — that’s what I was before I got into this.

JO: Ooh, that’s a tough one. I can’t pinpoint one thing, but I’d definitely be doing something with fashion or even interiors. It would definitely have to be something creative.

RY: Do you have any advice for aspiring bloggers or influencers?

JESSIE: Be creative, and don’t copy other bloggers.

JO: Good content is key. Know your brand and show your real self.

RY: Do you ever feel the pressures of social media?

JO: Yes, definitely, although as I’ve grown older and become more comfortable with who I am and where I’m at in life, the pressures that might affect me on social media don’t as much as they used to.

On Life & Travel

RY: What’s your favourite way to stay active?

JESSIE: Hiking, walking and running around my local park, and going to the gym.

JO: You’ll most likely find me in the gym — there’s nothing I love more than a good workout.  I’ll either be on the treadmill, doing weights or in a boxing class. I do love being outdoors though, so a long walk is also a fun way to exercise.

RY: What’s your favourite travel destination? 

JESSIE: I haven’t travelled everywhere I want to yet, but so far, NYC or Italy.

JO: That’s a tough one, I have so many! One of my favourites would have to be Greece; Jessie and I with two other blogging friends spent a week in Greece last year.

RY: And lastly, we have an incredibly pressing question. Avocado on toast or pancakes and ice cream?

JESSIE: Avo on toast!

JO: Oh, definitely avo on toast. I don’t have a sweet tooth.

A huge thanks to Jessie Khoo and Jo Hombsch for chatting to us about all things beauty, their BFF and of course, what it’s like to be surrounded by a herd of stampeding donkeys… Be sure to check out their respective social media and blogs for some gorgeous daily inspiration.
