Fabulous Friday
ShareToday I went and did a demo make-over with the shop owner at the boutique I was telling you about in my post yesterday. It went very well indeed. A few ladies came into the boutique while I was doing the make over and said they loved the idea and would definitely book! Interesting as well one lady came in after I’d done the shop owner’s make-up and said, ‘Oh my goodness you look fantastic!’ To which the shop owner replied, ‘Yes this is Vanessa, she’s a make-up artist and she’s just given me a make-over and mini facial.’ More leaflets handed out!
This is how women should network!

Pondering the possibilities of achieving goals
ShareHello Vansters!
I feel like I haven’t really done a personal post in about a week. I don’t count posting new gigs a personal post although this one stems from getting out there and pavement stomping in order to realise my goals.
What’s a gal to do with lots of strings to her bow? I do a lot of things but I’ve realised recently I need to concentrate on two of those things specifically in order to give them time to ferment, grow, and thrive.

I received two awards this weekend – and my thoughts on why
ShareI feel extremely blessed to have received two awards this past weekend.
One was the ‘Cherry on Top Award’ from the lovely Stiletto Siren and the other was ‘Model of the Week’ from Drew and Lasha on their American radio show, The Cushion.
Before I get into the details for both awards I want to give you my thoughts on receiving them. No, they are not world famous awards, nor are they well known outside their circle BUT, and this is a big BUT, they mean a lot more to me than those types of awards. They are awards from people I dig and they are awards from very different elements of the plus-size world. These two things make them very important to me as a person.
The fact that I got two awards – totally by surprise in one weekend could be considered a fluke. But I don’t. Here’s why:
