April '23 Edition

colourful, creative
inspo cominโ€™ in hot! ๐ŸŒˆโœจ

Oh my! Hasn't this autumn weather been glorious?

While I am SO sadย the days are slowly getting shorter and the weather a little cooler, the sunsets and sunrises down at the beach are just getting even more special. I seriously cannot get enough!

This past month has been super exciting and pretty jam packed! While beach life has been so relaxing for me in a personal sense, my work load has been a bit bananas all year! And I didn't really realise until now (go figure). I've been juggling lots of different (exciting) projects, which I'm finally ready to share with you very very soon. Look out for these projects on my socials in the next couple of weeks as they launch into the worldย ๐ŸŒˆ

Now that I've come to a close of a few big projects, I've now got the extra mental space and energy to pour back into my biz. If you've been here for a while, you'll know that I'm a big advocate for carving out time to work ON your biz, not just in it! Wednesdays are usually my internal day to work on personal projects, update my website, create content, or have a purely creative brainstorming day, but I would be lucky to have taken a full Wednesday Biz day all year until this week! Phew ๐Ÿ˜… It feels good.

I've got some other fun things in the works at the moment including organising a potential meet up for creative freelancers ๐Ÿ‘€ with a freelance friend of mine (stay tuned for more on this soon)!

A bit more of a businessy update this month, which you're probably glad to hear ๐Ÿ˜›

Let's get into it!

Incase you missed it

I'm sure you didn't miss this because I was pretty loud and proud of this milestone (lol), but I was on frankie magazine!!!!!! WTAF.

frankie came and said hello to me at the beach and took a peek into what my day looks like. We talked superpowers, small biz and what my branding process looks like.

I still cannot believe I was in frankie!
