2016 Throwback with Emily ✨
2016 aged 16, the year I finally finished school and survived GCSEs (thank god 😅). Celebrated the only way that felt right with family, having a meal at Starz Bar, and a sparkler stuck in my dessert to make it more special.
Summer brought prom, and me being me just wanted to feel like a princess, so of course it had to be the biggest, sparkliest, puffiest dress I could find ✨
Weekends were spent travelling around Devon with DYJO, tenor sax in hand🎷, playing concerts and falling more in love with music every time. I loved it so much I signed up for a music course at college, convinced my future was as a military musician. Army cadets were a huge part of my life then and getting promoted to corporal felt like such a proud moment (even if my career plans didn’t quite stick 👀).
And somewhere in between it all, a family holiday to Turkey my first cocktail, feeling very grown up.
2016 was a year of big changes, new independence, and slowly figuring out who I was becoming. Looking back now, I didn’t have it all worked out… but I was learning, growing, and that feels pretty special. 🤍
I love looking back at these photos and seeing how far I have come and grown as a person but also in my career as a shareholder at A Little Enhancement, that was a real pinch me moment! 🥰
