Well, what a difference 24 hours makes! 😂
Last night: dressed up, feeling glamorous and attending The Female Business Awards.
Today: full of cold, back in my feminist T-shirt and looking considerably less glamorous! 😂
So, no award to bring home this time, and yes, of course I’m a little disappointed. But honestly, what a wonderful evening! ❤️
To be recognised as a finalist in TWO categories, alongside so many incredibly talented, ambitious and inspirational women, is something I’m genuinely proud of.
Building a small business is a rollercoaster, and evenings like yesterday are a lovely reminder of just how many amazing women are out there making things happen, following their passions and cheering each other on. Hazel & Janine did an amazing job bringing together this year’s ❤️
A huge congratulations to everyone who won, especially the lovely Eve Cale of Wrapped Eve and Mel Brown of ! So pleased for you both! 🥂
And of course, it was amazing that our awesome Chippenham crew came together including .slater.femalehealth and ❤️
And a little shout-out to for today’s very appropriate feminist T-shirt. Because celebrating and supporting other women is what it’s all about! 💪❤️
No trophy this time, but plenty of inspiration, lovely memories and a whole lot of motivation to keep going.
Now, back to the studio… once I’ve stopped sneezing! 🤧😂
