POV: You thought your Stanley Cup was keeping you hydrated… but it might also be giving those lines around your mouth a workout. 😂🥤

Before anyone panics… drinking from a straw isn’t going to magically give you wrinkles overnight. Wrinkles are caused by lots of factors including age, genetics, sun exposure and repeated facial movements over time.

But if you’re constantly pursing your lips around a straw all day, every day, it can contribute to those fine lines in some people.

The good news? Staying hydrated is still one of the best things you can do for your skin, so I’m definitely not telling you to ditch your Stanley. 😅

If those lines are something that bothers you, there are prescription-only treatment options that may be suitable following a consultation with a qualified prescriber, as well as other non-prescription skin treatments depending on your concerns.

Have you seen the viral Stanley Cup wrinkle videos? 👀 Let me know what you think below!

My Anti Wrinkle Treatment 💉✨🫶🏻

These are my usual places that I have anti wrinkle treatments to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

I know a lot of people might say “prevention is better than cure” but it’s true! The reason you get the fine lines and wrinkles is because your muscles are constantly pulling your skin into that position and over time lines & wrinkles appear (abit like constantly doing sit ups to get a 6 pack) 👀

So the sooner you think about having them the less the fine lines and wrinkles appear in the first place 👌🏼

Now this isn’t me telling you that you need them and I’m only sharing my experience but I’m 37 and iv been getting these kind of treatments for about 13 years and I’d like to think I don’t look too bad 🫶🏻✨

So if you want to book in for a consultation drop me a message 🫶🏻✨💭

Shaving your Brows Off 🪒👀

Sometimes you have to trust the process… 👀✂️

Yep… she shaved her brows off. 😅

Not because she didn’t like them, but because uneven growth meant she wasn’t getting the shape she wanted and with so much brow hair it’s easier to shave them off 🪒

Starting fresh gives us the chance to let the hairs grow back in naturally so we can create a brow shape that actually suits her face, rather than being stuck with one from years ago.

In the meantime, we’ll be keeping them looking tidy with my Signature Brow Tint & Tidy appointments while we map out the perfect shape and monitor the regrowth.

It’s not an overnight fix, but good brows rarely are. 🤍

If you’re constantly filling in your brows, feel like they’re uneven, or you’ve been over-plucking for years, it might be time to stop fighting them and start growing them.

Book a Signature Brow Tint & Tidy via the link in my bio or send me a message if you’re not sure where to start. ✨

Most people think the treatment ends when they leave the salon… but the aftercare is just as important as the appointment itself. 💖

Brow lamination changes the structure of the hairs, so afterwards they need a little TLC to keep them healthy, hydrated and looking their best.

✨ Use your conditioning serum daily.
✨ Brush them into place each morning.
✨ Keep them nourished between appointments.

Skipping the aftercare can leave your brows feeling dry, brittle and more prone to damage over time.

I want your brows to look just as good at week 6 as they did on day 1, and that starts with looking after them at home.

Every brow lamination appointment with me includes aftercare advice because healthy brows will always be the goal 💖

Brow artists what’s your favorite aftercare product?💦

“Jack of all trades, master of none…” 👀

I hear it all the time.

Apparently, if you don’t specialise in one treatment, you can’t possibly be an expert…

I couldn’t disagree more.

Over the last 15+ years I’ve trained in brows, lash lifts, Korean lash lifts, lip blush, aesthetics, skin boosters, polynucleotides… and I’m still learning.

Because every new treatment teaches me something that makes me better at the others.

Understanding facial anatomy has made me a better brow artist.
Years of lash lifts have taught me how to assess different eye shapes.
Learning injectables has completely changed the way I look at ageing, symmetry and facial balance.

My clients don’t come to me because I only do one thing.

They come because they trust my judgement.

Sometimes the best treatment isn’t the one they booked for… and I’m confident enough to tell them that.

The beauty industry never stands still, and neither do I. I genuinely believe the best educators and practitioners are the ones who never stop learning.

If you’re a beauty professional, don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for wanting to expand your skill set. Just make sure you master each treatment before moving onto the next.

If you’re looking to level up your career, I offer both in-person training and online masterclasses designed to help you build real confidence, not just collect certificates.
