May

What's Been Happening..

May was another quick month! The start of May we were invited to participate in an event held and organised by Khandallah New World. As it was a beauty promotion, Carmelita and I were there to do the hair. Kirsten from Khandallah Physio had her massage bed set up offering to rub away peoples aches and pains and Karen Moreau a Make-up Artist consulted and gave beauty tips. It was a fun evening, shoppers were treated to lots of treats throughout the evening, plus live entertainment. Here are a few pics that we took on the night.

Holiday Blog..

Last month Carmelita and I, with 5 other family members went to Phuket to celebrate my husbands 60th birthday. John and I hadn't been to that part of the world before. We were sure it was going to be a great experience and to be able to share it with our kids was awesome. Lot's of people shared ideas in what we should do when we got there but NO one told me to leave my hairdrier and GHD at home! It was HOT...humid hot! Thank goodness the hotel had a decent swimming pool as it was the only means of keeping yourself cool apart from a few cool ales. Air conditioning seemed scarce in many of the places except our room, however we didn't want to be sitting in there all day.

Due to the heat I didn't venture out on foot much. We traveled by tuk tuk (taxi) but with 7 of us squashed in it, it wasn't very comfortable. Hiring a van with air conditioning and more seat space was certainly the way to go. For NZ$41 you could hire a van for the whole day of which the driver would drive you to where you wanted to go and would wait for your return. Now that's what I call service!

The highlight of our trip was the elephant safari where we not only got to ride them but we were also given the opportunity to climb down off the seat and onto it's neck. After the ride we watched as they were watered down and then we rewarded them by feeding them bunches of banana's. We then were entertained by a baby elephant that danced and played the harmonica. Here are a few pics from our trip.

June is the start of the school ball season. Kat organised a workshop whereby she invited students along to look at what hairups are in style. Will run others throughout the year as we get closer to other schools ball dates.

This months in salon training was on retail knowledge. Hair products are important to be able to maintain your hair at home.
