Most people leave their bridal bridal make up booking until 6 weeks before the wedding day. By then I've already closed bookings for that date. Not because I'm trying to be difficult, but because the trial appointment needs to sit 6 to 8 weeks before the wedding day.

I cap bridal slots at 1 per wedding date so every bride I take on gets unhurried time, proper aftercare, and a set that performs on the day and in your photos a year later. earlier this year, I had to turn brides away who messaged me too late. I don't want that to be you.

If you are planning a 2027 wedding, first CONGRATULATIONS! 🥂 Secondly, DM me the word ‘WEDDING’ and I'll send over my bridal timeline guide along with the dates I still have open for trials.

Nobody adds it up, do they. We just keep quietly paying for the version that never quite fixes it, a bit here, a bit there, and never notice how much it comes to.

I put this together not to make you feel silly, because we have all done it, but because once you see it written down, the maths speaks for itself. The temporary fix feels cheaper because it's spread out. It isn't. It's the most expensive way there is, because you pay it again and again and you're still not happy.

The proper version isn't the splurge. It's the thing that finally takes it off your list. One plan, sorted, and you stop thinking about it. And the longer you leave it, the longer you keep paying the slow way, so there's no better time than now.

I'll show you exactly what it takes to sort this for good. The link's in my bio to book, or DM the word ‘SKIN’ and I'll send it straight over. 💕

We have all done the 11pm search. Lying in bed, typing the thing we would never say out loud, hoping the internet will finally give us a straight answer.

Here's what I know from the other side of it. The reason those searches never quite settle you is that a search bar cannot see you. It doesn't know your skin, your history, or what you have already tried. So it gives you ten conflicting answers and another product to buy, and you end up exactly where you started, just a bit more disheartened.

You have just been asking a box on your phone a question that needs a real person. When you come to me, we skip all the guessing. I look properly, I tell you the honest truth about what's going on, and we make a plan that's actually yours.

So tell me the one thing you keep googling. DM the word ‘SKIN’, and I'll answer it honestly, tonight if you like. 🤍

The most common DM I get is some version of "why is yours £50 when I've seen massage for £25 down the road?" So I made this. The honest answer to that question, broken down properly.

There's no judgement either way. Different price points genuinely suit different clients, different lifestyles, and different reasons for booking. What matters is that you go in knowing what you're actually paying for, and what to expect in the chair.

I price the way I do because of the time, the products, the training, and the standard I refuse to drop. The clients I work best with are the ones who want all of that and recognise the difference. If that sounds like you, dm massage and I'll send my full process. 🤌

Just wanted to share this with my local Swindon ladies.

If you're tired of reaching for mascara every morning or you'd love naturally lifted, longer looking lashes, it might be time to treat yourself to an Elleebana Lash Lift and Tint.

This treatment enhances your own natural lashes by lifting them from the root and adding a rich tint, creating the appearance of longer, darker, beautifully defined lashes that can last for up to 8 weeks.

Many of my clients tell me they love waking up with lashes that already look done, making their morning routine quicker and leaving them feeling more confident without the need for mascara.

Think effortless beauty, beautifully enhanced eyes and results that last for weeks.

I am based in West Swindon and have a few Lash Lift and Tint appointments available this month.

Want to book? It's simple. Just send me a message with the word LASHES and I'll message you with my availability.

I’m officially out of office!! All messages will be replied to on Monday. Happy weekend everyone 😎✌️

National Lipstick Day deserves more than just a new lipstick. It deserves beautifully cared for lips.

Treat your lips to a little luxury with my handmade Pampered Lips collection. The exfoliating Lip Scrub gently buffs away dry, flaky skin, while the nourishing Lip Serum deeply hydrates, leaving your lips irresistibly soft, smooth and perfectly primed for your favourite lipstick.

Beautiful lips begin with beautiful care.
