You may have noticed I've been rather quiet on Facebook lately. I've been favouring Instagram for posts and stories as I've noticed Facebook seems to have had its day and doesn't quite have the reach or impression it used to. Running three social medias is very time consuming and I don't have as many new clients or enquiries through Facebook as much as Instagram and Tiktok.

I am no longer active in messenger but please please give me a follow on Instagram to keep up with all the latest sets, news and gossip with daily story posts 🖤🤍 I appreciate you all! You can also reach me by phone :)

I won't even justify these with a comment 😂 before the client drops me in it, I asked to do these 😂🙈 I'm a glutton for punishment.

Entering these in the Freestyle category...wish me luck!

Read more about colour psychology and the importance of colour choice on your mood in this month's Scratch Magazine.

Colour choice can significantly impact and support a mood or feeling. For example, wearing a bright yellow can uplift someone's spirits, while a deep, rich purple can evoke feelings of luxury and sophistication. Let your feels and emotions guide your choice at your next appointment and see what joy it can bring you :)

Just couldn't wait to share these from this morning 🤍🌸
