Blog No.175

Wow, what a December we’ve all had. If it’s not the fact that we have to arrange family celebrations for the one day of the year e can eat and drink what we want but we had to deal with viruses and – degrees cold weather.

I was going to do the blogmas that I did the year before but it crept up on us before we knew it and I didn’t have time to prepare. I never like to do the same thing every year but I am posting on Twitter a lot more. so have a look on there and you will be able to follow me on my hairdressing and barbering fun journey that I am on.

Christmas like every year is a major build up and then in a cough and sneeze it’s gone. I, like every year (but I’m fine with it), spend it with my 6 furbaby kitties. This year was a little sad, due to my eldest baby boy cat passing the year before. Every day feels strange without him but December always brings the memory back closer to my heart.

Well on a happier note, I have got closer to a few of my clients this year. Great friendship is always better than relationships I think. This year I have made 5 new friendships that I value greatly.  We have had fun in session and out of session. I have had lots of fun apart from that but choosing your closest friends is not always possible with everyone. Friendship happens without you noticing it sometimes.

It happens with you enjoy each other’s company one day at a time and before you know it you have known each other for 3-4 or more years.

Time passes much more quickly than we realize but in that time you get to know one another and then you realize that life is not just materialistic but more importantly knowing that you have someone there to put out a helping hand when you need it.

Choosing to be in the industry comes with big decisions over time. I chose to be a mistress because it’s in my nature and over the years family started to put their noses in where it wasn’t needed. So I had to make the choice of progression or family. Unfortunately, if anyone is holding you back on what you want to do or be then sorry they have to go. A harsh decision but we only have one life and we shouldn’t waste it. So the consequences of my decision comes with Christmas day being alone with the kitties (which I love) and birthdays being just another day (apart from this one just gone when I was 50 years old) but I’m fine with that.

I have been a mistress for a long time and looking back over the years on how I have changed and developed I can sit here now and say I am very happy in my own skin. Yes, I have gone from being a soft individual that maybe anyone could have walked all over ( i don’t mean trampling as I do the trampling in my sessions) to a tough old bird (as someone once described me) that would give you a good hiding if the situation needed it. Much wiser is what I am now but unfortunately not as wealthy as I would like to be due to the pandemic. It has not helped a lot of us really but we are not the only ones as it’s everyone internationally that is suffering from it as well.

So as I mentioned earlier, I would have loved to do something special for you in December but I have something just as enjoyable in the coming months that will make up for it.

If you look at my Twitter page you will see that I launched the first of my new design hairdressing capes. I will be releasing more colours in time to come but I thought that red would be appropriate for Christmas. I had been working on the design for it for a good while and gave my twitter flowers (as I mistakenly called them one time by mis-spelling followers and it has stuck ever since) a sneak peek in the weeks previously and it intrigued them greatly. They were asking questions but I didn’t want to give a direct answer until I was ready. I research the design a lot to make sure no one else had thought of it first and was unable to find anywhere that did these types of hairdressing capes.

So if you are interested in purchasing a newly designed cape let me know, (even if it is a mix of fabrics, etc you have made up yourself) contact me and we can discuss it further.

So on that topic of discussion, I will bid you good night as it is 3.15 am and my eyelids are feeling heavy.

Take care in all you do sweetie and more importantly stay safe x
