WHAT DO YOU BOND OVER?
DID YOU SHARE A BEDROOM?
We both bond over our kids and
family. JESSIE: On and off growing up,
yes. Bunk bed wars!
WHAT DO YOU FIGHT OVER? HANNAH: Jessie had top bunk of
course.
JESSIE: We truly rarely fight. We’re
different enough not to really clash
but similar enough to have plenty
in common (if that’s even possible).
HANNAH: Jessie is stubborn
though so I'd say maybe we'd
argue about who's right.
WHO’S BOSSIER?
JESSIE: Me! Absolutely me!
HANNAH: Most definitely Jessie
WHO’S THE ALPHA SISTER?
JESSIE: It depends - because I am
so bossy and a true planner,
sometimes I tend to just take
the lead on things however,
Hannah is the creative one, so
often we share the "alpha" role.
HANNAH: Jessie 100%
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE ITEM
OF CLOTHING TO “BORROW” FROM
YOUR SISTER?
JESSIE: Hannah and I have always
had very different styles (and
sizes) so I don't recall ever
sharing clothes but I would have
"borrowed" her jewellery and/or
accessories.
CAN YOU SHARE A FUNNY STORY
FROM YOUR YOUTH
JESSIE: When we were younger
and sharing a room, we came
up with a great idea... to split
our room in half! Only thing is, I
was not prepared to share the
entry/exit, so I got some chalk and
put a line from the left wall to the
right wall. I had the bedroom door
to enter and exit and Hannah,
well... she had the window to enter
and exit of course. Apparently,
mum and dad didn't feel this
was as cool as I did and insisted
we shared the bedroom door.
HANNAH: Jessie was always a
keen fisherwoman and would be
forever practicing her casting out
in the yard and would make me
standby to put a
"fish" leaf on the line for her to
pull in. For hours on end and I
didn't seem to mind.
BEST THING ABOUT YOUR SISTER
JESSIE: The endless support and
love she shows towards me and
my family. I am super proud of
her business and entrepreneurial
skills also!! A true example of a
hardworking, strong family woman.
HANNAH: Jessie has always been
my rock and so supportive of all of
my endeavours. She has always
been so stubborn, which as a
young girl not getting what you
want can be frustrating but
through recent years, being a
young mum and surviving breast
cancer that I have seen her true
courage shine and this "stubborn-
ness" is my favourite quality
about her. Still during these
terribly hard times she showed a
strength and determination that I
am in awe of. She has now
dramatically changed her lifestyle
in order to create the best and
longest life for her and her family
through health and weight loss. I
couldn't be prouder.
