Hey Ruvie

A proud milestone for Mateo 🎹✨

We are so proud of you, Mateo!
Today he won 2nd Prize for his level and commended for his best effort in his age group at his very first Eisteddfod.

Honestly, I was amazed at how incredibly talented the 6–8 year old pianists were 🤯 Such a high level of skill and confidence on stage.

Mateo felt a little sad at first, but we reminded him that this was a huge achievement and such a valuable experience. What matters most is the courage to try, the effort he put in, and the beautiful performance he gave 🥰

Mecca End of year Celebration!

2025 — what a year. ✨

December alone felt like a whirlwind.

Mateo’s 8th Birthday Celebration. 🥰

I had the privilege of doing a makeup look for Harshani as she celebrated a huge milestone—becoming an Australian citizen! 🎉

It brought back memories of when I received mine, that mix of excitement, gratitude, pride. Moving to Australia was a journey filled with challenges and new beginnings, but today, it truly feels like home. 🇦🇺💙

Congratulations, ! May this new chapter be filled with endless opportunities and happiness. 🥂✨
