It’s World Mental Health Day. 🫶

I genuinely can’t believe we’re already on Episode 5 🤎

Five women. Five completely different stories. And some conversations I really wasn’t expecting.

We’ve talked business, setbacks, resilience, success, the reality behind the industry and the moments that shaped these women into who they are today.

Some made me laugh. Some made me cry. And a few completely changed the way I looked at things.

If you haven’t watched Story Behind the Artist yet, start with Episode 1 and thank me later 👀

And if you have been watching… which story has stayed with you the most?

✨Sometimes it’s the smallest details that mean the most. ✨

Today I had the privilege of completing this beautiful lady’s journey with 3-D medical areola tattooingfollowing her post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.

The sweetest part? She asked for a tiny heart to be included for her daughter, who has been so incredibly brave throughout her mummy’s breast cancer journey💛

Every 3-D medical areola tattooing treatment I provide through J.O.Y is offered completely free of charge because every woman deserves to have her moment... to feel whole again.

If you, or someone you know, would like to find out more about accessing 3-D medical areola tattooing through J.O.Y, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to help💛

✨ It’s here... our next JOY event! ✨

My heart is so full to finally be sharing this with you. 💛

JOY – The Joy of You was created because every woman deserves to feel seen, valued and reminded of who she is, especially during life’s hardest moments.

Whether you’re grieving the loss of someone you love, navigating a diagnosis, rebuilding after a relationship breakdown, or simply carrying the weight of everyday life... so many women just keep going. They keep showing up for everyone else, often forgetting themselves in the process.

That’s why JOY exists.

Every ticket purchased helps us continue providing our free monthly makeover clinics for women facing adversity, giving them the chance to reconnect with themselves, rebuild confidence and remember that they matter too.
This evening is about so much more than a beautiful night out. It’s about community. It’s about celebrating local businesses through our incredible raffle prizes. It’s about raising awareness so more women can be nominated to receive the support they deserve. Most of all, it’s about spreading JOY.

📍 Swarling Manor, near Canterbury, Kent 📅 Saturday 14th November 2026 ✨ £70 per person

Your ticket includes: 🥂 A welcome drink 🍽️ A delicious three-course meal 🎶 Entertainment 💛 An unforgettable evening—all while supporting an incredible cause.

Every penny of profit goes directly back into JOY, helping us reach even more women who need us.
Ticket details will be shared over the weekend, but for now I’d be so grateful if you could share, tag your friends, and help us spread the word.

Let’s fill every seat. Let’s celebrate one another. Let’s support local businesses. Let’s help more women find their JOY.

Because when women come together, incredible things happen. 💛

✨J.O.Y✨

June saw another beautiful JOY Clinic.
This lovely lady was nominated by her daughter, who wanted her mum to have a moment that was just for her.

JOY was created from my own experience of grief. One thing I’ve learnt is that grief doesn’t leave. Whether it’s 5, 10 or 15 years later, losing your person changes you. It can strip away parts of your identity and leave you wondering who you are now. Even a diagnosis, a divorce, any life change, there is grief for that version of how your life once looked.

JOY isn’t about fixing that.

It’s about offering a small moment where the outside noise quietens. A moment to reconnect with yourself. A little reminder that underneath it all, you are still there💛

For the past 3 years, JOY has provided free clinics every single month, and I’m so excited that we’re now expanding into London too, making nominations more accessible beyond Kent.
JOY is a nomination-based CIC. If you know someone navigating a path they never chose, and you’d love to gift them a moment that’s purely for them, please nominate them via the JOY page on my website.

Because sometimes the smallest acts of kindness create the biggest glimmers of light. ✨

Please share this post so more people know JOY exists 🤍

✨Mental Health Ambassador✨

I was honoured to be presented with a Mental Health Ambassador award by the Lord Mayor of Canterbury after completing my course with East Kent Mind.

This means so much- not because I want to “fix” anyone, but because it speaks for what J.O.Y stands for and that is, meeting women exactly where they are, creating a space where they feel comfortable, seen, and supported in their own way.

JOY has never just been about free treatments… it’s about a space where self-care and women’s mental health truly meet and spark a joy.

I’m so grateful to East Kent Mind for bringing people together and making these courses accessible — it’s amazing to now be part of that.

Feeling very thankful for everyone who’s been part of this journey so far… and excited for what’s to come 💛 Thank you to my amazing @joellefleet for coming with me, and being absolute saviour always(not over exaggerating😂)

If you’d like more information on what J.O.Y is about head to the LINK in the BiO or J.O.Y’s highlights for, “how to nominate” 💛

✨ Growing with Time ✨

Ok be kind about slide 2 & 3, they were my first ever treatments😅

I had to work for her—and I’m still becoming her every day.

This is more than a makeup journey. It’s proof that the things you dream about can become your reality.

To anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed at the start… I promise, it gets better. Every artist you look up to started exactly where you are now.

No comparison. No rushing. Just progress.

We’re in this together 💛

✨ Yes Yes and Yes again! ✨

Okay, so all my PMU lefties out there… this might really help 💛

If I’m honest, I’ve struggled from day one. Always feeling like, “why isn’t this clicking for me?” Taking ages to get a comfortable and correct stretch, my positioning, smudging my pre-draws every 2 minutes😅

Most of my training was with right-handed artists too, so I’d have to flip everything in my head to make it work… which definitely took a bit of getting used to.
But as lefties, we do what we always do—we adapt and find our own way, right?

So when the amazing gang at Killer Beauty reached out about a machine designed with a left-handed wield, and said would I like to try it, I was really curious….also beyond buzzing!!
After looking into it a bit more, there are actually some really nice benefits that just make sense:
✨ It feels more comfortable to hold, so there’s less strain on your hand and wrist�✨ You can see your work more clearly without awkward positioning�✨ The movement feels more natural and fluid

And honestly, even small changes like this can make such a big difference when it’s something we’re doing every single day. Having a tool that actually feels right in your hand just makes everything a little bit easier 💛

Any other lefties feel the same?

I’m going to be using this machine for the next few weeks and will be back with my thoughts🫶🏻🫶🏻

✨ Grateful ✨

I’ve been inspired by so many people in this industry, and I think it’s a wonderful thing if you’re in a position where you can do things that inspire others too. But the greatest value in teaching isn’t just about inspiration — it’s about representing an incredible industry and educating in a way that keeps these treatments safe, ethical and ever evolving.

When myself and @tilyraepmu started creating our training @pmugoldacademy , we reflected a lot on our own beginner experiences. They were very different, there were things we both felt were missing.
We wanted to build a space where our students feel supported, guided and safe — a place that nurtures true artists who will go on to make a meaningful difference in the permanent make up world.
Because great artists aren’t just created through technique… they’re created through guidance, support and education that truly cares

Grateful to be part of this journey… and even more grateful to share💛

✨International Women’s Day✨

Be proud of the woman you’re becoming.
The strength you’ve built. The challenges you’ve faced. The growth that no one else sees.
Confidence doesn’t always arrive overnight — sometimes it’s built quietly through the moments where you simply keep going.
To every woman still figuring things out, still showing up, still rising…
You are doing better than you think.

Happy International Women’s Day💛
