The Interview —

Jamie Chandlee, CEO of Rank & Style

Work life balance is something I work on every day as I don’t believe there is a perfect formula that works for everyone, or one that consistently works for me as I evolve. One of the most important concepts that I learned early on is that quality is better than quantity when it comes to spending time with family and friends. The other key concept that is key to my balance is surrounding myself with incredible support systems, at work and at home, who I trust to delegate things to.

Purederm Collagen Eye Zone Pad Patches! They are only $5 for a two-pack and are miracle workers when it comes to de-puffing and brightening my tired eyes! I can't live without them.

We are currently working on so many exciting things and I can't wait to be able to share all the details with you! Be sure to tune in these next few months. 

Oh man... I have A LOT of things on my nightstand. I always keep La Mer hand cream on deck, CBD lotion to help with my back pains, and a lavender roll on that I put on my temples each night to help me relax. 

I'm really trying to slow down more and take better care of myself. I am constantly on the go and sometimes forget to take a step back, relax, and focus on myself. Anyone else with me on this?

Empathy! Towards your family, employees, and most importantly, yourself! It is incredibly important when it comes to balancing your life as you’ll never have it perfect. You’ll have weeks you’re just not balancing life well at all, but it’s important to have empathy for yourself and understand it’s ok to not be perfect, and just focus on trying to be better moving forward rather than spend time getting upset with yourself. 

I’m never without the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lipstick and my travel-sized Santal 33 perfume.

We’re in the midst of building a house right now so it definitely keeps us on our toes! It's been amazing getting to watch our vision come to life and we can't wait to see the finished product. 

I’d get up early for a head start on my day and enjoy coffee with my husband. Get a good workout in, take my kids to the park, lunch date with a friend, and a phone conversation with an old friend. I would end the day on Lake Austin with my family. I’ll be dreaming of this day! :) 

Instagram (cliché, I know), Instacart because it makes life so much easier, Amazon Prime because it saves me so much time, and Slack because it's the most effective way to communicate with my team each day. I don't know what I would do without these apps.
