August Update!

Probably one of the busiest months of the year for me this year I started August with six weddings in the first week plus a shoot, two lessons and a couple of special occasion bookings!!

I seemed to attract lots of naturally curly haired clients this month as well which is always a pleasure to polish and enhance gorgeous natural curls.  

Some of my behind the scenes pic's along the way and do check out my Instagram for the full reel post @nikimakeup to go along with this blog post.













































































































































































































It did get less crazy as the month progressed I made time for weekly exercise as always and I enjoyed some sunshine and lovely long dog walks in the Herts and Essex country and seaside. We also visited Cambridge for the day and went on a punt with our little poodle Rufus who absolutely loved it!




















































I had a black eye to expertly cover for this unfortunate Mother of the Bride.



I made time for some drawing and painting too.

May Update!

Well I have taken a nice little break in sunny Spain for a couple of weeks this month which has been truly refreshing and I am back full of energy ready for a busy summer of hair and makeup!

Here are some of my holiday snaps of truly beautiful Andalusia (my happy place), I seriously have a problem I cannot stop taking photos and videos 47,068 on my iPhone currently argh!


















































































It has not all been sunshine and relaxation... well as I write this I have just come back from a wonderful massage (christmas gift) at https://bodymechanixharpenden.co.uk and have a facial in a few hours with https://www.thepurefacialist.co.uk living the dream! A proper day off unheard of in freelance life well I guess I am writing blog posts and scheduling social media posts in-between never a day off really....although I am choosing to take more time for my self now after many years of burning the candle at both ends.

Here is some of my recent work pictures including three Beautiful May Brides.
