March Update!

March has flown by, it didn't feel particularly busy for me but looking over the photos I have taken it feels it now!

I had the pleasure of doing natural hair and makeup for this gorgeous gal Hope Virgo who has just written her first book, what an achievement! 'Stand Tall Little Girl' about her journey wth anorexia.

Wedding season 2016 has been super fabulous so far!  Here are just some of the beautiful brides and bridesmaids I have had the pleasure of working with.









I have been doing a lot of hairstyling as well as makeup recently, here is some of my hair work.

I also had the absolute pleasure of doing creative pink wedding makeup for the lovely Kim at St Michaels Manor Hotel on the 21st July.



I also managed to spend a relaxing weekend off for my wedding anniversary in beautiful Norfolk, such stunning beaches... our doggies enjoyed it so much!












I simply cannot finish this blog without a mention to the Gypsy Kings!! For those that don't know I absolutely love them and have wanted to see them perform live for sooooo long so it was a real treat when I saw them at Kew gardens this month and they didn't disappoint, FABULOUS!

March Update!

I hope you have all enjoyed a lovely Easter break and lots of chocolate bunnies and eggs!

I have spent the break decorating my home office into more of a studio environment.  Firstly the ceiling was re-plastered, then I got on with filling, sanding and painting which I have to say I do love doing!  I have ordered a few very exciting things, this being one!

Most will be fitted in soon after the industrial carpet cleaning takes place next week.  Hopefully next month I can show you the finished article!





I have worked on some truly lovely brides at their March weddings.
