Check out the terrific interview with Arlice Nichole of Clutch! We can’t help but particularly LOVE Jeanine’s answer to this question:
Excerpt from clutchonlinemag.com…
Clutch: Speaking of magazines, you landed your first cover with Nesting Newbies! How exciting is that?
Jeanine: Nesting Newbies was another wonderful experience. I can tell you this: the power of Twitter is incredible. I learned about the online magazine via a tweet, and sent them a quick note to let them know I was a Bay Area designer. Soon my husband and I were asked to put together a selection of pillows for their cover shoot. The editors, Jodi Murphy and Lea McIntosh are amazing women who embrace the work of new designers and bloggers. They also invited me to participate in a video shoot that was inside the magazine. It was my first time doing a segment on camera, and I had a wonderful time getting cooking tips from a trained chef and learning what happens in front of and behind the camera. My husband (who is my incredible business partner) also enjoyed the experience. He received his first styling credit as we both helped with the styling of the cover shot.

A behind-the-scenes shot of the team on cover shoot day, sans Jodi who was snapping the image! What a great day…and Jeanine is right, her husband Bryan is incredible…and so is she! Visit her AphroChic blog and AphroChicshop.
