So what’s new in the world of a beauty geek....?



So what’s new in the world of a beauty geek....?

Well its 9th of April I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since just after the awards evening we have just been so busy in the academy!!

My life is so busy at the moment running an academy full time..... Organising the new courses starting. And I have been given the most exciting opportunity to open a new college working with our local school offering hair and beauty as a GCSE and eventually an A level option as now school children have to stay at school till the 18!!

 I do believe this is a great opportunity for the local area and hope we can work with the surrounding schools offering the options for them...... One minute I feel glam and the next min I’m on a building site deciding what walls I want to keep up in the new school!! I feel like I need cutting in half all the time there isn’t enough of me to go round..... But I can guarantee one thing I’ve always got tan on...a curly blow and my red lippy!!!

Soooooo I’ve just had a sneaky little break in Yorkshire back to my roots....just love been back home surrounded with the beautiful country side.... visited my fabulous friends drank far too much wine ate far too much cheese!!..... In which I may add I didn’t like wine till this weekend and I have found a taste for it haha!!! (Still not red wine though tastes like vinegar.... haha) Had a great couple of hours visiting the farm with my main man.... my dad and our racehorse which I would also like to add the jokey who won the Grand National rides my horse!!! How exciting is that!! 


 


Just look at that cheese board delicious haha.....


My favourite view in Yorkshire.... just love this!!!

All my girly friends met up in my friend’s beautiful new cottage conversion that is the most beautiful house I have seen I’m so proud of her..... They have restored it back to original features with a modern twist it’s just such a DIVA pad!!!!.....

So I am well rested and need a push this week to get in the swing of work again..... I would like to thank my friends and family for a great weekend I needed it!!!

So what have got lined up for the next couple of weeks.....? Well it’s getting to that time of year in which all I do is mark folders...... I need to start planning for the new school year starting in September as I bet you guys forget my year is ran September to September. I am having the hair dressing room knocked through making it bigger as we have just started offering NVQ Level 2 hair dressing.... I’m so excited about the hair side as I run all the beauty it’s very refreshing to be offering and expanding into new courses!

So a busy few week’s ahead 2 schools.... expand the hair room.....and just my usual lessons on top of it all..... And a exciting new business up my sleeve.....Wow I must be nuts but I LOVE IT!!!! I am your true beauty geek.....


See you soon much love
