Random follow #93 - @bellybeyond

Being a mum is hard, no one can deny that. But being a mum, who runs a business too, is much harder. And today’s random Kiwi tweeter does just that. @BellyBeyond is the twitter account run by Louisa, or Lou, one half of the team that started Belly Beyond, an online baby store selling everything a mother will need from Belly to Beyond.

Lou and her best friend, Heidi, launched the business on Mother’s Day 2008. Since then they have built a very active Social media presence, both on Facebook and Twitter, for their business, although it would be fair to say they are much more active on Facebook than Twitter. The Facebook page is more orientated towards the business and Twitter is a cross between business tweets and personal tweets from Lou.


But just because their Facebook page is more active, does not mean Lou doesn’t tweet much, she does, although days can go by without a single tweet then Boom, Lou will hit her followers with a tweet like this:

"What's another word for package? As in grouping of products. #keepitclean "

Both Lou and Heidi have a great sense of humor, you just have to look at their About Us page on their website to see that, and that sense of humor comes across in tweets like these:

"Can't believe I just wrote wear instead of where. It's all downhill to 'your welcome' from here.
#grammarfail"

"New order in and I commented "that's a weird name". "Fname Lname" It dawned on me there might be some testing going on #giggle "

"Almost choked eating a grape. I think this proves that eating healthy is not good for you.
#coughcoughcough
"


I have met Lou IRL, and have bought from their online store so I can personally vouch for both the lady and the business. So if you are looking for something to buy for a new mum, not so new mum, a child, or a dad, (Yes, Belly Beyond sells things for Dads too) then follow @bellybeyond on Twitter and you may find what you are looking for, and you might just see a tweet that makes you laugh too.
