💜 I loved helping Beth with her transformation (hairstyling and make-up) and I could see how passionate Beth is about her new 'self' when we discussed her outfits and look she wanted to achieve when we had a consultation and on the day of the Brandshoot. You can see the fire 🔥inside in these fabulous photos. ICONIC is the word for such a fabulous lady 😀

I'm in the local Forget-Me-Not Publications magazine 😀💜 🎉Celebrating my 25th Business birthday!🎉

🙏 A big THANK YOU to all my past and present clients who have supported me through these years 💜 especially to the ones who have been with me from the beginning when I was a young mum with 2 little boys age 2 and 5 who are all grown up now!

🤔 I remember putting my first advert in the Yellow Pages - yes when it was a real book!!! and I have been busy ever since. Now I'm grateful for Google where most people find me but....
..💜 the best thing that I'm especially grateful for and what I love best is when previous clients come back to me -
sometimes 2nd time weddings and this year I have some Brides from 15+ years ago asking me to do they daughter's hair and make-up for Prom!!!

Sending you all love
Melinda

It's been a while! Although I have been busy with clients but not on social media much. 😔 Sadly my dear old Dad passed away recently after being ill for some time with kidney failure but we were grateful he got to his 90th Birthday!
At the start of this year and I was busy helping to look after him and my mum as my mum has had some health problems since December too and more since my Dad's passing bless her, it's been a difficult time for our family.

🎉But I do have something to celebrate because I really to prefer to give positive news. I am celebrating 25 years of having my business this month and had a photo shoot to celebrate more photo to follow.

🙂 Just before Christmas on the 23rd December, I had the pleasure of helping these lovely ladies with hair and make-up at Burley Manor in the New Forest - it was perfect weather too!!

🖤 The Bride and Groom had requested a 'black stylish' theme for their wedding.

💜 The special thing was the first lady is a friend and was originally one of my Brides around 15 years ago and this time she was Mother of the Bride 💜

💜 Grandma is also one of my beauty clients and recently had an 80th Birthday, she had the special job of walking her Grandaughter down the aisle!

💜 My 3rd lady is best friends with the Mother of the Bride and had flown from Australia to be there.

Don't they look gorgeous⁉️

🙂 If you have a special event coming up in 2025 and you want to not only look amazing but feel amazing too then please message me or take a look at my website for more info on my services

🎉Wishing you all a very Happy New Year filled with love and happiness and blessings plus good health too.
My Christmas was busy with ailing parents hence no posts but I hope you had a nice Christmas too.

💜I look forward to helping you this year if you need some help with make-up lessons, Skincare advice, facials, eyebrow shaping and lash tinting plus hair and make-up for any occasion including photoshoots.

🎉I will be celebrating 25 years of business this Spring too 🎉

😲 Wow! You know the saying it comes in threes?......
......As you may have seen, I was being interviewed on a radio show called Wellbeing Wednesday with Sarah Haté at 8pm on Wednesday but three things went wrong!!

🙈 Firstly the link didn't stay attached on my email that I sent out and I forgot to check the link worked (still getting used to emailing links)

🤔 Secondly there was a tech issue with the radio station on Wednesday evening so the programme kept stopping and starting so not very easy to listen to

😔Thirdly all the links I'd shared on Facebook and Instagram didn't work because there was an outage on Meta

So all the forces were against me!!

🙏👌But luckily I have been given the link to the replay (in the comments) which sounds fine thankfully so I wanted to share it with you as I hope what I spoke about will be interesting to many of you and it's a great introduction to Sarah's radio show.

💜 If you like what you hear, you can tune in to Yowh Radio (Your Wellbeing and Happiness Radio) every Wednesday evening at 8pm to listen to Sarah and any guests.

Naturally Aligning with Spirit

This is what Melinda Hollis and I will be talking about this evening on Wellbeing Wednesday 😊

Some of what Melinda will share are examples of pure essential oils, how to apply them and the benefits of using them. She will also share part of her journey, about helping women to prioritise their self-care.

An episode not to be missed if you're a woman over 40!

Come and join us at 8pm UK time on YOWAH Radio – you’ll find the link in the image and the comments 🥰

🎄Have you been to a Christmas Party or Christmas meal yet this December.... or have you got more to go to?

👀 My Soft Smokey Eyes Masterclass Eaybird deal finishes at 11.59pm tonight so if you want to get it for £35 instead of £55 then I recommend purchasing it today.

👌It is a mini course with loads of great tips and techniques to teach women 40+ how to do it in way that is flattering for them and the best but you do it with me together and you can pause or rewind or re-watch as often as you like because it's yours to keep.

🎄I have a couple of Christmas do's this week and whilst one is in the daytime, the other is an evening meal out so I'll be doing a soft smokey eye look for it as we will be in low lighting and I would like my eyes to stand out more but I do it in a way that doesn't look dark and heavy because that look is not very attractive on most ladies over 40 and being 56 now I want to look 'glam' not 'glum'!! so keeping it soft is the way to go 🙂💜

🤩 I'm going to be a Special Guest on a radio show with the lovely Sarah Haté this Wednesday evening!!!

I met Sarah online in a networking group a couple of years ago and we actually met in person recently, she is as lovely as she sounds on the radio and I've enjoyed listening to quite a few of her radio shows when she started around a year ago so it was a pleasant surprise when Sarah contacted me out of the blue to ask if I'd like to be a guest just before Christmas. So listen in on Wednesday evening at 8pm via the link in Sarah's post, I hope you can join us 💜🙂
