the past year and a half has been one of the hardest and most emotional years of my life. losing my mum changed everything for me. there are days where the grief hits me in waves and days where i feel lost without her voice and her comfort. she was such a big part of my heart and learning how to keep going without her has been something i never imagined having to do.

through all of this my little beauty business has become something that keeps me grounded. it gives me purpose and reminds me that even in the middle of pain i can still create something lovely for someone else. every client who sits in my chair has given me a reason to keep pushing forward and i am so grateful for that.

lately i have been wanting to grow and bring tooth gems into my business. it is something that feels exciting and fresh and honestly it feels like a step toward rebuilding my life and my confidence. it is a way for me to give people something fun and beautiful while also moving into a new chapter for myself. the course costs around $800 and right now that is something i simply cannot afford after everything that has happened this year.

i never like asking for help and this feels so vulnerable for me to do but i also know that sometimes it is okay to lean on the people around you when life becomes heavy. this is why i decided to create this gofundme. any support whether it is a donation or even just sharing it would mean so much to me. it would help me take a step forward when i have been stuck in grief for so long and it would allow me to grow my business in a way that feels meaningful and healing.

i want to build a future that my mum would be proud of. i want to keep creating and keep growing and keep finding small moments of joy even on the days that feel hard.

to everyone who has supported me this year who has booked with me who has checked up on me or simply been kind to me i want you to know how much it has truly meant. your kindness has been one of the reasons i am still standing and still trying.

thank you for taking the time to read this thank you for being part of my journey and thank you for believing in me even when i have struggled to believe in myself. your support will always mean more to me than i can explain
