December 2011 - Nearly Christmas!

Its been more than a month since I last posted!  Where does the time go?

Sad, that I didn't get through to the finals of the 2012 Wedding Industry Awards, but happy that I made the regional shortlist. Good luck to those that did!

Congratulations to all my brides during the last few weeks.............Jessica, Kerry, Jenny and last but not least, Tara (and of course, not forgetting all the lovely bridesmaids and Mothers of the Brides/Grooms!  Looking forward to seeing some of the photographs!

I have joined a fabulous new Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/Top100UKWeddingPages.   Its full of fabulous tips and hints most of which I had absolutely no idea about until I joined them. Its also a great resource girls for suppliers for your wedding day all in the one place! Go have a look.

With less than 2 weeks to go before the end of the year, I now have the dreaded tax return to do and my new website design to help finish to incorporate my new logo.  

Many thanks to all of my brides and beauty clients throughout 2011 and looking forward to 2012 and all my new brides and clients.

REMEMBER, ALL PRICES FOR WEDDING HAIR AND MAKE UP FOR 2012 WILL REMAIN    THE SAME FOR 2011 IF BOOKED BEFORE THE END OF FEBRUARY 2012.   

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

2012 Wedding Industry Awards

Sooooooo pleased, I have been notified that I have been shortlised for the 2012 Wedding Industry Awards.  Love my job!!!!!!!

7th November 2011

Its still busy!!  Bridal trials for Spring 2012 and the girls are still liking the vintage make up and hair look, with a few classic favourites thrown in.  Lash Extensions are still featuring heavily in my timetable and don't forget lashes will be £50 for a full set until the end of December 2011.........so there's no excuse not to "Get Lashed" for all of those Christmas Parties.

Last weekend I attended the Wedding Fayre at Forrester Park and met some lovely brides to be looking for make up and hair inspiration for their up and coming weddings.  It was great fun chatting, giving advice and a few demonstrations of how we could achieve that flawless, long lasting look for their big day.

Congratulations to the now Mrs Deb Edwards who married at Leez Priory on Saturday 5th November 2011.......I have to say I don't think I have ever met a more exited bride to be when I arrived at the early hour of 7.30 in order to provide make up services for her and her maid of honour and hair up for her maid of honour and 2 bridesmaids.  I arrived at the address and was not sure that I had the right house until I noticed the extremely sparkly shoes through the window and knew I had the right address!!!!  Deb is a very girly, girl and looked fabulous in her gown with her 3 bridesmaids in a gorgeous shade of pale pink.

This coming week I have no weddings, but a few trials, some make up for a ball and hair and make up for a friend going to a fabulous wedding on Saturday.

16th October 2011

Its been a few weeks since I have had some time to post. What a beautiful month for weather October has been so far, especially for all of those brides and grooms who chose October for their big day! 

Very exited as my new Beauty Studio is being built and I will be ready to start equiping after Christmas.  It will give me a lot more space and I will be able to have separate areas for different treatments.............luxury! Obviously my main area will be for consultations and trials for my brides and their wedding parties, and the new set up will give me plenty of space for make up and hair.  Another area will be for eyes, where I will be carrying out lash extensions, lash tinting and perming and brow tinting and shaping. Eyes are my speciality and its amazing what you can do to open up the eye, and in some cases it can give the effect of a mini facelift!!  Spray Tanning and UV Gel Polish will also be available and I will be opening up the outside area in order to cater for pamper days, either for hens, mother/daughter days, birthdays, etc.

I am now offering a complimentary lower lash tint with each full set of individual lash extensions...contact me for an appointment directly on 07901740786 or at Park Drive Health Club, Maldon 01621 856036 or Tranquility Nails and Beauty, Hatfield Peveral.

Many congratulations to Debbie and Vicky my brides from last week................photo's of Vicky, her bridesmaid and mum follow: -

Another busy week last week, whilst nursing my poor dog Gracie, who is still suffering after being bitten by a fox!!!

Make-up trials for a couple of December brides, lots of lash extensions.....and I mean LOTS! I feel like I have now lashed most of Essex.

After lash application - client wanted fullness rather than length.

The week ended yesterday with a Teen Make Over Party.  The birthday girl had a selection of girlfriends over who each had a make up lesson and professional make-up by me and hair was styled by Emma-Louise Renton......really enjoyed doing this and the girls had a great time.

Monday 19th September 2011

Well its been a couple of weeks and I have just drawn breath!

Its a lovely sunny September morning and I am recovering from the 4 hour journey with my colleague back from Olympia Beauty last night! Managed to get all the new products I have been coveting and saving my pennies for...........some fabulous new Gelish UV Polish colours, new brushes to apply all the lovely new pallets of eye colour for the new season and a little bit of a skin treat for me.

Congratulations to Helen, Caroline, Jen and Kelly, my beautiful brides from the first two weeks of September, and congratulations to Emma at Tranquility on the birth of baby Alfie.
