How you all doing?
After this Easter Weekend. It’s
crazy how a drive to a supermarket on your own just clears your head, right? I
had the best day ever, I got in my car drove to the longest of supermarkets, put
my reggae beats on full blast, sun shining, shades on, windows down, hair in my
mouth blowing all over place but I gave zero fucks. I was embracing Emley Moor
for all its beauty. Before all this, I would; get up have the poochies to sort
out, miss breakfast just so I could have that extra five minutes in bed,
STOP. Can I just ask a question? Why is it, you can toss and turn
all night but at that point of your alarm BRRRROOM you’re in the comfiest position
of your life OF YOUR LIFEßyes it needed that drama. And you have to
get up! ‘Nice one’ world.
Anyways, I runaway with the fairies then, so five minutes in bed,
10 alarms later and I have 1 hour until I start work, in that time I turned
into the Tasmanian Devil on Loony Tunes cleaning, washing, vacing, putting makeup
on or not, rag the dreadlocks up, dash a peppermint tea and some strawberries
and boom. Off to work I go. I ho, I ho, I ho!
That was my routine. But now. Fast forward to the mind fuck that
is, present day and… Drumroll…
Does anyone else feel like you’re
in the big brother house? That beautiful Geordie accent kicks in…Day 45 in The
Bullet household. Let me tell you I am very thankful for a spare bedroom!
Gracias Adios!! I Love my Smarkles but I don’t think we have spent this much
time together since I was 13 years old. And I’m not going to lie its true what
they say being in love with your best friend is incredible. Challenging at times but my god, my isolation
time has been amazing. He’s helped me grow, I’ve watched him build relationships
with his fur sons and fur daughter and also get time for himself. But he’s also
pissed me off because he has rearranged my cupboard in the kitchen and now the
fucking toaster stays out apparently. But its okay, I smile and embrace my
messy but lived in house. We are making memories. I keep telling him I will do
Date night because before all this I bought a really sexy arse dress but the
fur kids are constantly stuck by our sides.
Personally, right now feels like I’m in that period of my life
again the ‘limbo’ stage where you leave school and you’re going to college, but
you have that what the fuck do I do with myself time. Its massive nostalgia. At
that point when I was 16, I said to myself lets live Luci, lets see the world. And
that is what I am doing again.
Now I’m sure we have all gathered by now, reading my blog or in
fact meeting me that one would say one is a tad eccentric darling. (Sorry I thought
I was in some sort of Shakespearean play right now, as I have ‘Orchestra National
de l’Opera de Monte-Carlo’ blasting out on Spotify and my mind is creating
movies). Now you can see why Marcus too will be happy of the spare room. But yes,
I listen to Opera now, to be fair I always used to put it on for me and my T
Tonk. It clears our heads!! Well mine anyways, I’m not sure about Taras,
Moving on, I love learning I never got the time for it because, I
also love pleasing people (Hence my job role in the Beauty Industry). I also
love money (I have been an entrepreneur from 12 years old and run many
inspiring businesses in my school days, I am my Dads daughter after all). But
right now, the money isn’t there, I’m a self-employed Sole trader. Well let me
tell you, I have had many arguments about my finances with Marcus recently, but
to me, I am my own boss, Independent!! I even applied for a job a Morrisons and
Virgin Media, but I stopped, thought for a second and talked to my massive Ego.
Obviously, I had come to terms that thing I am constantly trying to brainwash
Marcus with. “WE ARE A TEAM”.
So, I swallowed my pride and compromised. I now have a gift list
from Marcus that includes, more sketch books and more a keyboard book because
Impulsive Luci hasn’t got a clue how to read music and bought a keyboard!
My Papa G and my Aunties keep trying to help me out, but I just
buy them things with it because I’m fine. My clients have been unbelievable,
the support from them all. I know…I’m ready to get my grind on and bring home
the bacon!!! Bring back my 14 hour days baby!
Clients/My Lovlies this is for you:
Because of you guys, you are my inspiration I have decided to give
you all some of my knowledge I have picked up in this my lifetime of making
people beautiful because
I have had a few of my clients come to be whilst in isolation and
ask me advice on how to do their own treatments whilst this crazy time is upon
us.
First of all, I will start with
your product base. Knowledge is key in this industry and sometimes we can
become so easily mislead by unprofessional promoting brands and not actually
realising what we are buying. So, I thought I would give you all some simple
tips. In my next post, I will use my own
experiences as an example, but that doesn't mean what I say goes. (For this instance,
anyways).
As a customer we are drawn to
certain things. Usually, we are a country of craziness, I'm sure I can speak
for the majority of us when I say that we live our life rushing, as a result
this can have a negative impact on what we choose to see. Our brain picks up
key words when we are searching for something and boom SOLD! Here's an insight
to the beauty industry. For a product to be classed as aromatherapy based it
only needs a small %. The rest could be anything. For example, Sodium Lauryl
Sulfate, this is a cheap cleaning agent that was in many high street and
professional brands, and it has been known to cause dryness in skin, irritations
and reactions (We do not want that Lovers! We need our skin Fresh and Juicy). But
we will buy products with this in! Research has shown that Aluminium in
deodorants can be linked to cancers. Would you buy that product if you knew
that? Absolutely not. So please do your research, ask professionals for help
before you spend dollar on that special magic cream that your mate Sandra from
down road told you about. Please babes!
Well that’s me for tonight, I have to study for my aromatherapy exam
and catch up on The Tribe… Yes, that’s right Amazon Prime baby. And, let me
just stop for a second step back into 2013 I bought the BADDEST Disney princess
collection in espanol ever when I lived in Costa Rica.
I may have had no money, only money for emergencies, and when in Walmart
a Magical Disney Princess book and rice cakes or some chicken and rice? Come on.
Now, fast-forward to now. I have time to read that book and thanks to the help
of my Tico friend and his Austrian Wonder woman they will read a bedtime story
(time difference has its perks).
My next post I’m going to give you a video of my skin!! (I’m not
happy about because my period is coming so I have spots but I like you all so I
suppose I can do this).
I do actually have a video of me teaching Marcus how to do a
facial so If you want him to teach you ha.
