Hello, hello from the gals with the matching mustache tattoos! We're so happy to be able to bring you this chat with Sarah Hurwitz Robey, the President and new owner of Colonial Jewelers in downtown Frederick, MD.

In this episode, Sarah shares her experience growing up around this longstanding Frederick business, balancing being a parent and having a career, and of course some of her favorite Frederick things.

Happy, Merry Everything! We have missed you during our unplanned but much-needed hiatus as we adjusted to new life roles this year, but not to worry we will be back in full force in 2023! We hope you enjoy this treat of an episode with Corrine Counts, the stylish curator behind @Frederick.Homefinds on Instagram.

We really enjoyed hearing how she found this passion of hers and ran with it. She also shares how she manages a full-time job and her popular furniture business and how she utilized the power of Instagram and her local community to grow Frederick Homefinds into what it is today.

We'd love to know what your thoughts are too about this conversation. Come and chat with us and Corrine over on Instagram @themustachemesa and @frederick.homefinds.

Thank you to Listen Frederick for continuing to give this podcast a home.

This episode features our conversation with Amira Chappelle Brooks of Chappelle Candle Co. Starting a business is never easy, but starting one during a global pandemic is on a whole other level.

Amira shares how she followed her intuition to take candle making from hobby to business and what it's been like to go from web-based to brick and morter.

We loved getting to learn more about the production of candles and Amira's creative process too.

Be sure to check out Amira's beautiful candles and candle vessels on the Chappelle Candle Co.'s website, on Instagram or at the shop located at 25 E Patrick St Lower Level, Frederick, MD.

Thank you to Listen Frederick for their support of this podcast.

For this episode, Sarah & Sando got together and recorded a little wrap up and look ahead. They chat about what they're most proud of about 2021, what they're looking forward to in this next year and while reading their astrological predictions for 2022 (they're both fans of the Chani app,) realize they're both Virgo risings and it answers SO MANY QUESTIONS!

Thanks for listening friends!

In this episode, Sarah and Sando chat all about creativity! How they cultivate it, what helps them get into a creative mindset, the joy-creativity connection, and more. Then they demonstrate what they mean because the conversation takes a distinct turn for the culinary. This episode was a bit delayed in being released and they do share a few fave Thanksgiving recipes, but these dishes are good for any and all cold-season celebrations.

In this episode, the mustache gals are back with their focus on the home and this time talking about all things organizing! They are joined by professional organizer, Jackie Pittman who recently launched a new business called Chez Nous Organizing. This new venture offers all-inclusive professional organizing services, by the hour or by the project. Jackie tells us all about how - like many - the pandemic shifted her focus and in turn made her pivot her work in order to accommodate the work-life balance she was seeking. She is a full-time mom with 3 kiddos at home and knows all too well the juggling act it takes to keep everyone's "things" together. This conversation is inspiring and helpful, Jackie keeps it real when it comes to establishing order in the home and offers up tips to get you started. Join us for an enlightening and light-hearted chat about something we're all seeking -- a little calm amongst the clutter and chaos.
