I’m sooooo pumped to be a part of the Wedding Expo this year!!!
And not as a hairdresser but as a JEWELLER…. wtf 😭❤️🥹🥹

Whenever I speak to groups I leave feeling likeee “yup ok yay that was pretty cool, pretty sure they listened lol”.. however today hit a little different 🤎

Standing there holding my daughter watching her blow raspberries. Standing beside my manager / friend Rahera- feeling proud as she also spoke parts of her journey to success. Standing there in a class room I once felt uncertain in, now feeling strong and proud. It was a beautiful afternoon with a bunch of beautiful souls.
