Meet Karen Wazen, the blogger behind Karen’s Choice, who’s also a busy mother of three — including twins. How does she balance it all? We find out. Above, Wazen wears Tory’s Gemini Link shoulder bag.

My backstory…
A psychology major, I began my journey by sharing pictures of my daily outfits, lifestyle and inspirations through social media. After the birth of my son Georgie, I decided to extend my reach and content by launching my blog Karen’s Choice, through which I share stories and opinions on topics I am passionate about, such as fashion, motherhood, travel, home decor and beauty.

My blog Karen’s Choice is…
In January 2016 I founded my personal blog due to my growing popularity regionally and internationally. I would say I gained popularity for documenting my fashion and decor finds along with my day-to-day life of being a mother of three, who are under two years old. I use my platforms to encourage young women and mothers by giving a non-censored preview into my world of being a mother, wife and entrepreneur.

First fashion memory…
Probably playing dress up in my mother’s closet. It was so much fun and actually still is. ;p

My personal style tip…
I shop based on outfits, so I usually buy a top making sure I have a bottom that matches. It makes choosing what to wear so much easier.

What’s in my handbag…
My regulars are my wallet, my portable charger, my lipstick of the day, probably a pacifier (lol), daily planner, wet wipes (saviours)

The two sides to my personality…
Calm and wild. I love to sit home, and enjoy chilling with my husband over a home-cooked meal and a movie. Another side of me loves to explore, travel, stay up and party.

The key to balancing work and family/life…
Being organized and staying positive are the keys to juggling things while staying sane.

What I love about having twins…
Double the fun. Double the cuteness. Double the love. A pure blessing.

And my advice to would-be moms with twins…
Accept that you will have sleepless nights and you will probably find yourself talking to yourself like a crazy person, but also know that it will get better and your little angels will eventually sleep and you will be able to enjoy them and yourself like crazy!

My zodiac sign…
Aries

And my twins’ zodiac sign…
Scorpio
