She has styled the most popular celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ashley Graham, Kerry Washington and Hailey Beiber. She has styled for New York Fashion Week and is always at the forefront of hair trends. We met her almost 2 years ago on a shoot and is truly one of the kindest and warmest people we’ve met. Her words of wisdom are always giving us the inspiration we need, and her story of how she got to where she is today is nothing short of phenomenal. Plus, she’s a new mom! Justine candidly shares how she balances being at the height of her career and becoming a mother, how she’s adjusting to her new, postpartum body and tips for regaining confidence.She also gives great relationship advice in this episode’s advice column. We’re SO excited for you to hear our interview with Justine!
“One thing that helped me was packing up my pre-pregnancy clothes and putting them away, because I didn't want to be disappointed if something didn’t fit me anymore. Then I bought new clothes, and it made me feel better to have clothes that fit me…I don’t want to have this pressure or expectation that I'm going to be back to my pre-pregnancy size. I don’t expect to and it’s not realistic... I’m a different person now and that’s fine.” - Justine Marjan

“I think every relationship is going to go through different seasons. My partner and I have gone through different lifetimes together. Sometimes he’s going through a rough time, sometimes I’m going through a rough time, and you have to decide, ‘Is this the person I want to weather the storm for?’ You can’t just call it quits when things get tough.” - Justine Marjan
