This week I’m joined by longtime content creator Kate Bryan, the force behind Small Things. I’ve been following Kate since her early hair-tutorial days, and it was such a joy to finally sit down with someone who has been educating, inspiring, and entertaining her audience since 2011.
We talk about how she’s kept content fun and fresh for over a decade, her journey into reading more since 2020, and the books that have shaped her reading life. Of course, we couldn’t resist swapping recommendations—both in the beauty world and in the book world. Kate also shares her biggest hits and misses of the year.
It was such an easy, energizing conversation, and I can’t wait for you to listen. We had the best chat! You can find Kate on Instagram @k8_smallthings and her website: www.thesmallthingsblog.com
