Wonderful News

Despite being extremely busy catching up with my week, I thought I would find a few minutes to update you all.

I completed a wonderful course yesterday, covering Manicure and Pedicures, Sandra, our tutor made the day fun and informative. The other students were great too.

Needless to say, I can't wait to get started! So off I trotted to the local supplier this morning, and stocked up on some wonderful products and nail polishes. Could of quite easily spent a fortune, but am on a tight budget, so brought what I needed, and made a note on my wish list for all the other products I would like to sample.

I have a list of jobs to do today as long as my arm, which I am steadily working my way through but am looking forward to a quite weekend relaxing.Let's hope we have some sunshine to go with that too!

Is Spring Officially Here?

We have been blessed with some warmer weather of late, all that wind still has a chill factor to it! That volcanic cloud is still causing us some bother, and causing disruption for many travellers, how stressful for those involved.

I have spent the last four years retraining with holistic therapies, juggling my study schedule around two very active kids. They both play ice hockey, and somehow, along the way, I got roped into being a team manager too! The hockey season runs from September through to the end of April, although they train all year round.

Now the season has come to an end, I thought I might of found myself to have a bit more free time, but no, I have several courses lined up in May. A manicure and pedicure course at the beginning of May, and a trip to Brighton at the end of May for a course, specialising in pregnancy massage. Both treatments I hope to add to my already growing business.

I am constantly updating my website, so please take time to have a look.

Working for myself has been a life long ambition, and I wanted to do something that I would enjoy and also enabled me to expand with as well. I have always been interested in complementary therapies, so this path seemed the natural choice.

Getting the business up and running has been a long, slow process, lots of market research was required, along with laying out a business plan, financial forecasts, book-keeping spreadsheets, insurances and governing bodies and not to mention all the legal requirements for the dreaded taxman! Yet it's not fazed me yet! I have some great support from many friends that keep encouraging me with it all.
