Bee Beautiful with Sarah

Not the new pair of shoes I should have been wearing today 🤦‍♀️

I Should have been strutting about at a wedding today in some pretty gold strappy numbers but this will have to do instead rested on the sofa 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣

I’ve been back at the hospital today, had another xray and been fitted this sexy number perfect for summer hey lined with a bloody woolly sock crikey the perimenopause temperature and flushes are rising 🤣

So my ankle is broken but the break is stable so 🙏hopefully no surgery!
I will have another xray next week to make sure after a week in the boot it remains stable and starting to repair and the no surgery needed still stands 🙏

So for work I just have to take it day by day, week by week at the moment … it’s going to be a good 6 weeks of boot and just taking one day at a time.
The doctor wants me to use the boot to slowly apply weight with crutches but not to be stood or walking and applying my full body weight.
So no driving, gym or walking for me for a while 🤦‍♀️

So I will look at my diary for next week and make a plan……

I am thinking I will be ok for most treatments next week hopefully other than feet and hair unfortunately as everything else I can sit. So I’m so sorry to anyone whom I am going to have to cancel for now, I really am 😢😢

I just need to have a go at manoeuvring myself around the salon and practising if I can work safely and comfortably to finish treatments and I will have to rethink the long days as I’m not going to be able to be back to back and long days , I will need gaps inbetween clients to rest my leg and manage the pain ☹️

So all good , far worse things going on in the world 😙

I will sit with my diary over the few days and make some sort of plan for next week and message all clients individually 😘😘

The only thing is I don’t know what day my xray is yet, the receptionist had gone home by the time I came out so I will be sent a letter but I’m going to ring the hospital tomorrow to try sort it over the phone and then I’m good to go to arrange my diary for work 😘😘😘

I will speak to you all soon and thank you soooooo much for everyone’s lovely messages, support and understanding xx

Lots of love
Sarah 😙😙😙

Seriously Is it New Year’s Eve yet…..I don’t usually bother with new year but this one can’t come quick enough!
I have 💯 had enough of 2026😢

Just as I was feeling a bit more like me getting back on my feet quite literally after a very crappy first half of the year someone above had different ideas for me🥱

The first weekend where we felt a bit of normality , I wanted to get the girls out for some fresh air , some sunshine , get some steps in , a nice picnic somewhere pretty and bang quite literally ….. nope just more hospital time for me , I honestly cannot believe it.

I’ve had a fall , heard a nasty crack and wow lots of pain, in the middle of nowhere but luckily a family were ahead of us heard me scream and the crack and came to the rescue…
I had to be queen carried a mile back to the entrance! Poor buggars that was definitely an experience 🤦‍♀️

I’ve broken my ankle 😢
On crutches and in a pot 😢
No weight bearing or driving for up to 6 weeks😢

We literally just took Dotty’s crutches etc back to the hospital last week 🤣🤣

Now I thought I would be ok at my desk but the doctor has said no…
I’m back at hospital on Wednesday to see the doctor and have another xray and a new pot on and will know more then but for now I can’t weight bare at all & need to keep my leg ellivated .

I am soooo sorry to everyone, I know i have been a hair and beauty therapist from hell this year all the switching and changing appointments 😔 I feel so terrible 😢

For now I will have to cancel all my clients next week and once Ive seen the doctor again I will have a better idea for the weeks going forward. I am so so so sorry 😢

Right at the start of the seven and a half week school holidays too my poor girls 😢it’s a bit of de ja vu this! Think it’s 4 years to the day I had a similar incident with the other leg🤣

I actually think I might start 🙏 because we really need our luck to change.
One positive at least my dads hull visits are reducing and Gracie’s and Dotty’s been sorted🤦‍♀️

I’m So sorry again for my clients this week , I will message everyone individually later tonight and will update once I know more from
Wednesday ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Sorry😢
Lots of love from a very fed up Sarah xx

☀️☀️Upcoming Summer Holidays ☀️☀️

The children break up from
School on Friday for the SEVEN weeks 🤦‍♀️🤭School holiday! 7 weeks🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
I mean I love having mine at home but it’s a long time isn’t it to keep them entertained and work 🤭

I will be amending my hours slightly over this period,
I will still do my hours but in a two week rotating format…

2 long late days one week
(wed and Friday ) and
2 long late days , a normal day and a Saturday the next week
(Wed, Thurs, Fri plus Sat)

Setting it at 9pm finish and will start at 8am xx
The Saturdays are already fully booked and I’m Not taking any new evening and weekend clients on at the moment as my late nights and Saturdays are getting busier so availability for new clients is weekdays only currently # # #

I do have the first week in September booked off .
If you haven’t booked your appointments in for the summer please drop me a message and I will get you booked in xx 😘 😘😘😘

Random one for today…, ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤦‍♀️
All my dreamy blonde clients at this time of year in outdoor pools, on holiday in hot tubs, outdoor spas etc this can damage your blonde!

If you see green don’t panic, ketchup to the ready!!

The red pigment neutralises the greeny tint and the natural
Acidity breaks down the copper build up that causes discolouration usually from
Swimming pool water!!!!

Get the ketchup to the ready ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

A few from this week 🧡🧡

Life still a little lemony 🤦‍♀️🤣 we had a flooding incident in the salon today , nursing Gracie inbetween clients and a 3.5 hour call with booking.com inbetween hong Kong and Netherlands after work that nearly finished me off for this year but every cloud and all that….,
I hung some washing out at 9pm and it was dry by 10pm! I mean that made me smile! 🤭

All my sofa cushions stripped and washed, blankets, throws and every towel I own after been used to mop up the salon swimming pool 🤦‍♀️🤣
A leisurely day of quiet pamper spa time would be heaven right now 😐

Hope your all managing to enjoy this weather or coping working and trying to sleep 🤣it’s nice and pretty to look at though isn’t it ☀️☀️

You have all been amazing this past few weeks and last week Particularly when I had to cancel a full day very last minute, I can’t appreciate you all enough 😚😚😚

☀️ 💛

Really hope you are all enjoying this absolutely stunning weather ☀️☀️

It’s been a crazy tough little week , busy work days , the heat and far too many hospital shenanigans than I care to think about. life is literally like an episode from a TV drama 🤣
Just wanted to take a little moment to thank everyone who has taken the time to messsge me , such lovely, thoughtful messages , it really means so much & doesn’t go un noticed even if I’ve not had chance to reply xx I will catch up next week when thing’s hopefully settle a little 🧡

🤦‍♀️🤣one storm leads to the next with another surgery date in the family so I maybe be re jigging a day or two in the next fortnight but I will message clients individually , thank you so much again for patience and understanding with me and my bloody diary jigging 🤣
Hopefully the second half of the year will just calm down and be a bit more steadier and calmer eh so I can get on with work and life 🤣🤞😙

Enjoy the rest of your sunny weekends ☀️
Lots of love
Sarah 😙

☀️☀️☀️Weather☀️☀️☀️

As much as this weather is lovely to look at …. Working in it is a different matter! 🤦‍♀️
Although imagine this time last year!
At least I have my nice new salon although far cooler than my old one it’s registering 29degrees in there now at this time!!!

In light of this I’m relaxing my cancellation policy for the rest of this week…

I am still working & have my fan but if you feel the heat is too much for you and you will struggle, not feel comfortable or feel unwell at your appointment then the option to reschedule is there 😚😚😚
I’m adjusting hair appointments slightly as the heat speeds up developing times.

I will do my best to reschedule if clients wish although I have 6 hospital days in the next 10 days so my working days are reduced slightly for the next two weeks to be nurse and chaperone Sarah ☺️ xx

For those clients coming for treatments please dress in cool layers and bring a drink along with you xx

It’s been ok ish today but once I had the hairdryer on wow I became a bit of a hot mess 🤣it took it out of me today.

We love a weather chat and also a washing chat… listen to this!
My bath towels dried in under 45 minutes today wow! That must be a record!

No enjoying the sunshine for me this next week but if my washing gets done I’m happy with that!

I hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather, keeping cool, hydrated and healthy 😙😙😙😙

🧡🧡Ok ladies so very off work subject and a long post sorry but this is something that comes up literally every single day in my salon and I really think so many of you will benefit from watching this! 🧡🧡

🧡🧡Anyone struggling with perimenopausal/menopausal symptoms which I know a lot of you are please sit with a cuppa and a pen and paper and give this a watch!

It is a podcast from Verity Garrington my PT with a women’s health specialist .
I wish I had this 5 years ago when my journey started! Don’t be fooled by thinking of age it can start as young as 37/38 and it 💯 did for me! 🧡🧡

WOW!!! I’ve watched and I was emotional the WHOLE way through it!

Firstly how I’ve a morning off work and felt so guilty and uncomfortable actually sitting down and watching it without doing something off my to do list that I actually paused it to go do some jobs and bring some jobs back with me to do whilst I watched the rest! I’m a Ridiculous woman! 🤣
Why do we do this as women?!
I know we shouldn’t but it’s instilled in us!

Secondly as only approaching 43 but 5 years into my peri journey I SOoooo wish I had this 5 years ago!

🥲It’s been a journey and a battle that took 2.5 years of different medical appointments and tests to be heard and acknowledged for how I was feeling and what my body was going through without been brushed off as depression and given anti depressants that I knew it wasn’t that I got to the point I became a shadow of myself I actually thought I was losing my mind!
It was crazy how my mind and body were literally fighting each other and I know so many of you will relate!

I was lucky to be one of the last to be seen at the women’s health clinic before it stopped , that was a last resort and I can say 💯 that doctor probably saved me !

She listened, acknowledged and acted ,it’s such a shame that service was cut !
When we need more of this!

Our generation of women are fighting our bodies harder than ever because of external factors, stress factors, family and work life’s that are busier and more stressful than ever and we just don’t get the advice, tools and support we need to get ourselves through this!

If I had of had this 5 years ago perhaps I wouldn’t have reached the low point I did that is taking years to overcome and turn around!

🧡I’m totally over sharing this on my work platform sorry 😔 but where I know with my clients this is somethingwe talk about in salon daily and so many women are struggling and overwhelmed at where to turn , what to do, what to take, what to eat… it’s is absolutely mentally exhausting and I know I’ve been there , im there!

💛so please ladies if anyone is struggling and doesn’t know where to turn please reach out ,my door is always open even if it’s not for a treatment because I fully understand how it feels to be in this what can feel like very lonely and isolating phase! And it is a phase and you do move your way through it slowly 🧡🧡

Some really interesting points especially that we will spend 1/3 of our life in this! WTH WOW!!!! Just WOW! 😫

It came at a good time as my collagen ran out this morning!!!!
So creatine is going ln my baskettttt to try 🤣Again we talk about this ALOT!!!

I slowly started decreasing alcohol a few years ago and gave it up 2 years ago as it was literally crippling me with anxiety and made me feel so ill-and I really battle with that decision often socially but the longer I go and the more I learn I know I’m better off without it but it is so hard in a world where the majority of socialising involves alcohol. I’m slowly learning I don’t need it and feedback from my close friends & family that I don’t helps as I do struggle & sometimes think ah sod it let’s go get drunk but I know 💯 I am so better without and knowing how I will feel that night , next day and even the week after takes that feeling away! 😫it is hard though and it impacts you socially and even in “friendships “you learn who your real people are.
knowing that for 72 hours after one drink your body is affected by it makes so much sense!
Again it’s a very personal thing , the whole peri/menopause will look so different for everyone.

I am on HRT in estrogen, progesterone and now testosterone form and I tried to stop it a couple of weeks ago as I was worried about cancer risks and not wanting meds as my dad is in cancer treatment and a few close friends /clients have been so this has come at a good time for me to hear it’s not risky as I instantly went straight back to 2am chronic insomnia and losing my mind 🤣
so I’ve gone back on it and after watching this I feel better that Its safe to do so and I need to tell myself it’s not a drug it’s a hormonal Inbalance that needs supporting externally and that’s ok!

It’s a personal journey that will look totally different for everyone but ladies it’s definitely worth a watch with a notebook and pen!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Remember be kind to yourself, be strong, be healthy, fuel yourself and fill your cup with what makes you happy, your older self will thank you, mwah 😙
