You might remember last August the story of Olé the cat whilst I was working and staying at the Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resortin Montenegro, the sweet injured stray cat that stole our hearts. Between ourselves, the staff at the Hyatt and the amazing charity Kotor Kitties it was incredible to find out that Olé had landed himself in a loving home shortly after we had flown home with him on our minds.
Now even better news is to see the Hyatt updating their Linkedin at the start of this year with a little Olé photo from his adopter Armin. It's so wonderful to see the hotel's commitment to the local...

It was only a few months ago I was visiting Coal Drops Yard to see the Jo Leversuch Makeup Brush Range in their full glory for sale in a brick and motar store, a real pinch me moment.

From their upcoming album Beach Day, Another Sky's music video for new song The Pain is out now and I'm so proud to have been part of the production! I always love working on music videos as it's such a switch up from the usual pace of photo shoots, runways and weddings. The days are long as hours are spent repeating actions over and over again, meanwhile I'm working away behind the scenes to ensure continuity with all the makeup looks as scene changes are filmed all over the place.
This particular project was such a welcome addition to my work schedule to mix things up, the musicians from...

If you follow me on socials or regularly read this blog, you'll already know how much I love the brand Peep Club, so much that we even stock them at Untitled No1!

January 1st is often a day of interspection for a lot of us, as we consider our new years resolutions and personal goals for the coming 12 months. For me stepping in to 2024 I've been reflecting on a chance encounter that occurred late last year (isn't that weird saying that already!) that really left a lasting positive impression on my work to come. One of my favourite publications Sunday Girl held an incredible event bustling with other business women sharing their talents, and that's where I met Aisha of Write Yourself Well. As I sat and listened to her performance her artistry instantly resonated...
