Amen, be fabulous and keep going!

I was having a conversation with another small business owner today. I was saying that owning a small business is a practice in resilience, consistency, anxiety, self doubt, imposter syndrome and delusional faith in one’s self.

I’m a bit further down the road than her and after 4 years Happy Face Aesthetics is becoming the success I always knew it could be.

I have made many poor business decisions, been duped into spending money on things I don’t actually need and spent nights laying in bed saying negative things to myself.

Whilst I know I am a very good Advanced Nurse Practitioner and have never had a single doubt about my clinical skills and knowledge, being a business person takes a lot of self confidence, mental toughness and boundaries.

My advice for you if you can relate to this is, surround yourself with cheerleaders like the one who sent me this message this weekend. They may not even be friends or family, but people will come out of the woodwork because they love to see others win.

Another piece of advice is, ride the highs and when you have a low hit your social media and advertising even harder. When you feel like crawling into your shell, step out like a beglittered drag queen lip syncing to Diana Ross.

To all the small business owners out there, you’ve got this, you fabulous bitch 💕

Tag your favourite small businesses and spread the love.

It’s here! We have been so excited for this fun and fresh collection 🏝️

With warmer weather we can’t help but feel Spring is peeping around the corner (optimism at its finest for February), maybe that good feeling is coming from some of the perfect but simple window dressing of a roller blind colour matching the kitchen units? 😊

We understand that it takes a lot to find the right matches for your interiors. Each room takes time and consideration.

You may be struggling to find that perfect paint colour or fabric, you may be bamboozled as to which sofa to go for or even which one fits, but have no fear, we can help.

We listen to your wants and needs and reduce down that decision making process drastically.

You can either pop along to our Design Consultation evening Friday 2nd February for a chat and a browse, attend our Moodboard workshop where we are collaborating with Alix on Saturday 3rd March to create your dream space whilst being expertly guided or lastly book in a 2 hour Design consultation where we come to your home and chat through for space.

This is currently the only decision you need to make. Links to events and website in our bio.
