MR@fulwood Has a new member .Sam is @ the salon Fridays with more days to come !

In between my daily ideas & challenges , I've reflected on the past year (2012).

I'm thrilled with how well the salon has moved forward this year. And what such amazing events we've been involved with ( Preston guild , uclan& in salon photoshoots, vintage fairs and styling for films) . And now the store opening .

All this above is fab and exciting , but! The biggest achievement is to be still supported by our amazing client base . Sadly many salons closed at the beginning of this year due to the tough economic climate . You can never predict how times will change . But I intend to do my hardest to keep my loyal clients happy ... I'm so grateful to them & for there support !!!

I've found a new sanity ( spinning ) its 45 mins of loosing my mind in a burn!!!! I'd love to hate it but I keep returning . And it's time all about me for that time .

My friends emma & louise opened there ladies only gym this year which is where i attend . https://www.facebook.com/bodyrocknw
Little black dress December . New years resolutions january 2013!
