Behind the scenes I’ve been working away… had a wonderful wedding season, created a home studio, researching, learning, updating and generally re organising and reigniting myself and my business 😍 it’s been a breath of fresh air. But now I’m back and looking forward to getting my hands on those brushes and creating some fun beautiful makeup again ❤️

Hey guys… I’m back 😱🤩 ok, so I really didn’t plan on taking a year off social media, but it kind of just happened and I’m so glad I did. It’s been the most beautiful, intense, best, challenging, loving and rewarding year of my life. @jamesslimcampbell thank god we are on the other side 😅🤣 2 under 2 ( all the mums out there, serious RESPECT you are A-mazing) house reno ( still in progress) weddings on 3 hours sleep 🤣😩 single parenting for 2 months 😅🤣 how the hell did I survive that. Anyway I’m here, we’re above water and I finally feel like I can get my claws back into makeup! 😬😍

I’ve made the decision to come off socials for a little while. From things I’ve posted recently you’ve probably sussed that I’ve got quite a lot on my plate and honestly I just don’t have the mental energy for it at the moment! I don’t know why because I’m sure no one cares but when you’re self employed and got a ‘following’ you feel the need to explain yourself. I have finished work due to my pregnancy and not feeling safe with covid so I have 0 client pictures to post ( not that I would have been allowed to work at the moment anyway) my studio and makeup kit it’s completely packed up ready to move house (a house that needs to be renovated so will be living out of a case at my parents for a little while 😅) and I have a few health bits going on including anaemia so I’m just absolutely knackered which is leading to no energy in the evening for looks on myself!! Plus trying to entertain a toddler in lockdown everyday is just about enough to handle haha 🥴😅 realistically I won’t have any content for quite a while and the constant underlying pressure I’m putting myself under just isn’t helping the situation so time to go off the grid for a little while! When I have no work to post I’m just using social media for everything I hate it for... meaningless scrolling and distraction. Time for a little break, time for reflection and to rebuild myself mentally after the last few months which with one thing and another has just been bloody tough and a lot to process especially the closure of my business and everything that’s come with it. I’ve loved connecting with a community of other businesses, mums and generally lovely people recently and would love to hear from you so please feel free to text me rather then DM like we normally do. Take care everyone and look after yourselves and il see you on the other side. New baby, new house, new studio, new start and hopefully a lot less pandemic ✨👶🏻🏡🎨❤️
