Bride Of The Month

shahnaz — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:55:53 +0000

Natasha got married on the 24th July in Hemel, Hertfordshire and it was an absolute pleasure in helping Natasha create her dream hairstyle and make up look! The brief was to achieve a flawless finish using the minimum amount of base and eye make up my bride wanted to keep it natural but have enough impact to wow her guests and of course the groom. I’m happy that I helped in making Natasha’s wedding day even more memorable.

Beautiful Wedding Venue Near Thame/Oxford

Today my travels took me to the very picturesque and tranquil settings of Notley Abbey, situated just outside of Thame Notley Abbey dates back to the 12th century and is thoroughly modernised bringing it into the 21st century. The venue boasts fabulous grounds and therefore wonderful photo opportunities. My bride Stacy who was getting married here is originally from Kent but fell in love with Notley Abbey after having researched many venues in Kent and surrounding counties she felt that it justified the extra travel for her and her guests, I agree!

26th June Wedding

Laura contacted me a couple of months ago and although it was short notice I was able to help Laura out and create her dream hairstyle and make up look for her wedding which took place in Waltham Abbey on a gloriously hot afternoon! As you can see from the pictures Laura selected a messy updo with curls and beautiful pearls set within some of the curls, we also used very pretty silk roses that set the hairstyle off beautifully giving the bride a wonderfully fresh, stylish and contemporary bridal updo!

Wedding season starts!!

shahnaz — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 08:02:19 +0000

This weekend was yet another busy one and I can now say that the wedding season has started and I love it! All my happy brides, bridesmaids and mums. It’s wonderful to be part of the preparations on the special day and it’s a huge compliment when I and my assistant can help make the atmosphere and bring a sense of fun, calm and control to a chaotic time.

My trips this weekend took me to Welwyn for 7am on Saturday morning where my 2 brides were getting ready for their ceremony to take place pretty early in the morning!! After this it was off to Bedfordshire and Biggleswade then back to London Colney and finally a client in St Albans…phew yes a busy Saturday.

Sunday was long day in London and I’m not a huge fan of driving in the capital but Sundays aren’t too bad as parking is less restricted my brides to be were very pleased with their results and I’m hoping to get some fresh pictures up soon.

Finally, it’s always a huge sense of joy and signals the end of another busy day, when I can finally tap in home in the car sat nav system……get me home double quick!

Skincare Used By Top Celebrities!

shahnaz — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 13:41:28 +0000

People always compliment on how smooth, radiant and well moisturised my skin is even in the Winter months when the weather is unkind to the skin. I do all the usual things to help keep my skin looking youthful for example drinking plenty of water (minimum 2 litres a day) I eat lots of very brightly coloured vegetables (peppers, carrots, beetroot) and I stay away from alcohol, take away and ready meals due to the high salt/fat content! But even the best of us need a helping hand.

My friend Carole Goddard who is a respected Skincare Specialist and Aesthetician and supplier of some of the most wonderful products for the face and body recommened that I try SkinSceuticals the US Brand of Skincare that has been in the UK for a few years but only available through some online stockists and very few salons.

I use the Emollience Cream every morning, together with the Eye Cream and a number of special Serums designed for fighting the effects of ageing caused by exposure to the elements. Also I use the Night Cream and sometimes the Clay Mask as an extra boost! I’ve never looked back and wished that I had dicovered this sooner : )

So ladies it worth investing in a good skincare brand even if you’re in your 20’s as you’ll be thankful in the long run….remember that old Proverb Prevention Is Better Than Cure.
