SEPTEMBER UPDATE!

September is my birthday month so I definitely milked it with a nice few meals out and with family and friends and few days away over my birthday in sunny Malaga then I came home to Autumn which incidentally I hate, roll on summer 2025!! 
















































































I enjoyed my birthday dinner at https://www.blossommalaga.com it was simply outstanding, if you get the chance do go!

We popped to https://vinsantobar.com I had my favourite lychee martini and again the food is always fab' here.



























We also visited https://hazels-stalbans.co.uk  The food here is so good! A must do if you are local! The ham hock croquets were better than any I had in Spain.


















Wedding season has ended for this year with September being a really busy month.  I have worked at some beautiful venues and had such fun on wedding mornings with my beautiful brides it has been a really great wedding season post the covid craziness of the past few years!  I have been to some f my favourites South farm, Tewinbury bury farm and Essendon Country club on multiple visits this month too!

April Update!

What a month! April has been mixed emotions a few big changes happening in my personal life so it feels like its been a bit crazy lately to be honest however holidays are booked soon so its time for a well deserved switch off and recharge before a busy summer of weddings which I am super excited about. 

I have still been doing lots of trials this month ahead of August/September weddings mostly.  Here are some hair trial images, I am keeping the make-up looks sacred until after the weddings!























I met with some old and new clients for Special Occasions this month lots of lovely ladies heading out to special events.






































I rounded off April with a personal branding shoot with the lovely Kate at https://www.klcreative.net who I have worked with lots and knew would be perfect to put me at ease. Many hours were spent prepping and cleaning ahead of the shoot I took this picture afterwards and took a sigh of relief, another thing ticked off the never ending "To Do" list!


















I am also thrilled and honoured to have won Best Makeup Artist at The English Hair & Beauty Awards 2024, this has been a definite highlight!
