As many of you may know I am currently undergoing training in hairdressing to be able to offer this service. I am really enjoying this and can not wait to be able to do hair for weddings and photoshoots etc
There is a competition being held at Truro College tomorrow and part of it is for Level 1 Hairdressing, which is what I am doing at the moment, so I thought it might be fun to enter!
So tomorrow morning I will be going up to Truro College with my model Lily Pickles and lots of other entrants from Penwith College to take part in this competition. My category is ‘Clubbing’ so Lily will be sporting an appropriate hair do for this category. I will also be styling Lily and doing makeup to complete the look..that bit I am not worried about 
I am getting very nervous now but excited at the same time. I want to wish everyone that is entering good luck.
There is a catwalk show in the evening if anyone wants to come along, tickets are available from Truro College.
I will let you all know what happens.
Today saw the Handmade Wedding Fair at The Old Brewery in Truro. Organised by Sarah Drew, it was a very relaxed day with lots of brilliant stalls for the Bride-To-Be.
I shared a stall with the fabulous Lily from Pretty Things From Pickle, she makes the most gorgeous button earrings and bead necklaces, bracelets and other sparkly items.
My eldest daughter Siobhan joined us at the fair to model some beautiful designer wedding gowns by Anna D’Souza, if you want a bespoke designer corset, skirt or accessory Anna is the one to see.
I did the make up for the 3 models wearing Anna’s dresses, Siobhan, Lily and Jasmine. All looked stunning in Anna’s dresses and accessories from Pretty Things From Pickle, Sarah Drew and Holly Young’s Hats.
There were delicious cakes, fabulous vintage crockery, photographers, pretty bunting and many more suppliers. Everyone had a fantastic day. It was a real pleasure to attend this event.
I will put some pictures up in the next couple of days so keep checking.
Thank you to Sarah for all the hard work that went in to make this a fabulous day for stall holders and guests
.
Come along to The Old Bakery Studios in Malpas Road, Truro for a Bridal fair with a difference.
I will be there along with many other fantastic wedding suppliers for a very relaxed and interactive day.
If you want a free mini makeup trial just come along and see me on the day.
