Been quiet, here’s why

I’ve been taking a Summer siesta from socials which wasn’t deliberate…

Midway through June I just wasn’t feeling great in myself. I kept being asked about my decision to retire and what I was going to do next.

It was much harder than I’d anticipated to answer the first question. It led to me wondering if I was doing the right thing and I then felt really confused. I also had no clue what to do next.

Basically I felt very unsure of myself so in order to cope I decided to run 1 mile a day, every day until things shifted.

Sounds bizarre but I figured that moving my body would take me forwards because I felt stuck in an awful limbo in which I was letting go of the thing I’d mastered and falling into a void.

So I drowned out the noise and the bombardment of the outside world that reaches through my phone. I took that time to sit and just be, as well as to run.

In some of the still moments I found myself writing poems to capture all of the emotions that I was feeling. I was also solo parenting so in the other moments I’d feel quite alone and just try to get comfortable with that instead of seeking solace from the company of others.

Each new day has been another mile ticked off and in that time I have truly started to feel a shift.

I believe that connecting to my body has taken me out of my mind. Moving my body is shifting what’s been stuck, and pumping fresh blood to the cells of my body that don’t get enough of my love and appreciation for all they do. Connecting to my body has given me back my power.

I’m feeling refreshed but aware that another wave of hormones will no doubt flood me in due course and I won’t know I’ve gone under until I start to surface BUT I’ve moved myself forwards and I feel better than I did. I feel I can trust myself again.

That’s deep for a Friday but life gets real when you face into it. We all scroll passively not knowing what we’ll see next and I want my account to reflect more than my shop window because life is messy.

With love & light,
Amy 🩵

Self-loving second half incoming 💕

The summer solstice marked the end of the first half of the year and the beginning of the second half 🌓

The first half was very bumpy for me with my husband, mum and youngest son all very unwell. During those six months there were many cancelled plans and dark moments. It actually drove my decision to retire from giving treatments at the end of this year.

So much of the past six months was completely unforeseen which made me think. This weekend I spent time considering why I’d found the first half of the year so difficult. It’s because I was always living my life to the brim. Therefore when the wheels fell off I crashed out, mentally melted and doubted myself and my sanity 💥

However my decision to retire has left me feeling a lot lighter so all of the sunshine made my eyes dazzle, my brow glisten, and I definitely felt the promise of a better second half.

Today I took some time out from work and went into York. I had to run errands but I also bought myself some new underwear and summer pjs. I decided to come home and throw out the old to make way for the new - to get dressed and wear clothes that make me feel good. My best knickers, everyday 👙

It’s about honouring myself and with time I’m starting to feel worthy. Everyday I’m busy serving other people but for the past week I’ve sacked off the jobs to take 15 minutes out to run a mile. Just one mile. Even though I’m tired, I’m hot, everybody’s hungry for tea, there’s a pile of washing, and a dog to be walked.

There’s always something to do so if I wait until there isn’t then I’ll never find any time to honour myself. To treat myself as worthy enough to deserve love and care.

Shopping today gave me a little thrill and I could not wait to have a shower so that I could wear my new pjs tonight.

If I run just one mile everyday then I’ve created a new habit to help to look after myself - just a few minutes is all it takes - but it makes me feel so much better 🏃🏼‍♀️

It’s exactly the same with a short & sweet Face Yoga routine. Connect to your skin and you take back your power ⚡️

My inbox is always open for love and questions 💌

Mid-life is one wild ride 🚀

And I’m right in the thick of it grabbing every person I can see that needs a hand to hold onto 🫶

I’m over getting frustrated with the way in which you’re ignored to the point of feeling invisible - like you’re not actually living here anymore 🌎

Inequality is not ok

Fighting it with anger won’t work for me

Choose love not war

Protect your inner peace

And take back your power 💪🏻

You are the magic ✨

Hold onto it so tightly that nobody can steal your power

They may not notice your sparkle but it doesn’t mean it’s not there

We live and we love for ourselves 🩵

I’m done with living to serve everybody before myself

I’m here to dance in my own light

Stay in my own lane

And never let anybody take my crown 👑

Face Yoga is my ritual to connect to my skin and take back my power

Every single morning for five minutes

I do the Fast-track routine from my PowerLift course

And I feel…

Awake. Alive. Rejuvenated.

I don’t want anything to stop you from joining me if you’re ready to connect to your skin and take back your power.

So I’ve automatically discounted the course by 50% for this weekend only.

Go get your glow back

Sparkle like the queen that you are!

With love & light,
Amy 💛

⚡️The 50% discount will be turned off at 9pm on Sunday 8th June ⚡️

Here’s my list 👇🏼

💆🏼‍♀️ People LOVE Facials and Massage 💆🏼‍♀️

Offer both of these and you’ll always be in demand…

When I started offering Facials and Face Yoga I wasn’t busy enough so I asked every therapist I knew what their most popular treatments were. It was always ‘facials and massage’ which is why I did a massage qualification.

🛑 Think before saying yes 🛑

In the case of private bookings…

These are often requested yet they take a lot of extra time, effort and are usually at weekends.

You naturally want to say yes when you’re running a business, however I work alone and have often done 9 treatments in a row and then felt like I’d left my body by the end 💀

⏰ Value your time and skills properly ⏰

Take all your expenses into account - I have so much laundry! Plus insurance, training, zoom, website charges, etc. lots of which aren’t direct costs but direct debits.

Avoid overheads where possible - I work from home now because it takes a lot of financial pressure off my shoulders and it allows me squeeze as much into my day as possible.

Basically, however you choose to run your business you need to make sure that you still earn the money you need and feel you deserve.

📱 Go online and save your soul 📱

One thing I don’t do is to send messages with dates for appointments. It’s not something I want to make tiem for.

Having an online booking system removes me from the booking process and reminds clients of their appointments 🙌🏻

🩵 Invest in your business and yourself 🩵

I’ve always done at least one qualification a year to advance my skills and to have an objective teacher assess me and critique my techniques.

This year I invested in my website and professional photography and it had elevated my business gaining me credibility, and building trust that I’m a skilled professional - first impressions count.

Thank you for reading. It’s almost 12 years since I passed my qualifications and started working as a Beauty Therapist. I’ve made many a mistake along the way but I’ve also been able specialise and have really enjoyed mastering my skills. I am so glad I switched careers to try it 👌🏼

Enjoy your weekend,
Amy 💛

⚡️ MY MID-LIFE TRUTHS ⚡️

1. We are each many things

- mothers, friends, partners, daughters…during my time as a Facial Therapist I’ve never been more needed by others and I find that hard.

2. Peri-menopause is a blessing and a terrible curse

- it’s like my body has shaken everything up to demand that I sit down and listen.

It now needs help to do the things it used to do without my attention, like multi-task.

It’s good that I’ve had to strip back and simplify my life - no more BS 🙌🏻

It’s taking back your power but it’s also robbing you of your sanity in the process.

I have found things that work for me but it comes in waves 🌊

3. Mid-life is a new era

- I said to a close friend that I wished I had started my business when I was younger because I could’ve achieved greater things in that time.

She said ‘oh but you’re only halfway through your life so it’s still all there for the taking’ ✨

4. I feel overwhelmed by how busy I’ve become

- I keep having to say no. I tried to reduce my hours but it didn’t work so I had to say no even more.

The juggle of having a family and running a therapy business from home feels impossible a lot of the time.

I get a heavy feeling I cannot shake off. It’s a shadow that follows me and stops me saying yes to sitting in my garden.

Something recently made me realise that I have used giving treatments to define my self-worth.

If I’m a great therapist then I must be a great person.

So I was letting other people tell me who I am 😮 I should know who I am by now!

5. Power isn’t financial success

- it’s to not be needed by as many people

- it’s space to try something new

- it’s time with my family

- it’s to live my days with the sense of freedom that comes from pleasing myself more

Thanks for being here with me - one of the things I want to do more of is to write. So stay here to read more and stay here for facial therapy to help you to master mid-life 👑

With Iove & light,

Amy 💛

BUSINESS ANNOUNCEMENT

Blame the Scorpio Full Moon 🌕

But I am going to retire from giving treatments at the end of this year.

This has been something I have thought about a lot during the last few months and I have resisted letting go until now because I love giving treatments and because it’s not just about me - I would not have a business without my clients who have been part of this magical chapter of my life ✨

But as I head towards the mid-life point of 45 years old I feel like I’m owned by my responsibilities, and I have realised that time will not wait for me to take back my power. If I want to make things happen, then I need to let go of what’s keeping me safe, or, as I see it, what’s keeping me stuck.

Over the past few years my business has grown to become all I ever wanted it to be however, I’ve learned that sometimes when you get to the moment you once dreamed about it doesn’t feel as you thought it would. That’s because as I’d been striving the world had kept on turning and life had kept on happening. The dream that I held became the reality and now, I need a new dream.

I have always wanted to be able to build upon my Face Yoga business because it is about connecting to yourself in a world where we are losing touch with what’s real. I want to give it more energy, and I also want to try something new that may not work but if I don’t try it then I will always wonder what could’ve been.

Please stay here with me if you want to get real, connect to your skin and take back your power ⚡️

With love & light,
Amy 💛

HONEST POST LOVELY ONE 👇🏼

I am flawed and that is the point.

I’m 44 and I don’t necessarily look like I’m the best Face Yoga teacher.

This has bothered me for months.

It almost stopped me from creating my PowerLift course.

My face is flawed because I only have as much time as you do and within that time I’m living my life🎢 👦🏻👦🏻🐾

Face Yoga is only a part of my business. I have a job as a Facial Therapist. I’m giving treatments all the time. This teaches me about faces and gives me a different perspective - it’s shaped my Face Yoga courses, you’ve all shaped them actually.

My busy mid-life is the reason I decided to write Face Yoga courses. I needed help more now than ever.

At the start and the end of each day I cleanse my skin and get a chance to look in the mirror.

I didn’t see a Queen staring back at me tonight.

And it’s hard seeing yourself and then feeling crap.

It’s also hard doing some Face Yoga each day so…

CHOOSE YOUR HARD! ✨

I’m choosing Face Yoga - link in bio to try some for free, or join a course.

With love & light,
Amy 💛

28/04/2025

And here’s why 👇🏼

I film most things in one take. I find that practice doesn’t make perfect and because I don’t follow a script the first attempt is always the most authentic.

When I filmed the blooper clip my youngest child was very poorly with glandular fever. He had two visits to hospital and I filmed most of it during the day when he was sleeping.

I could’ve paused the course but I’d already had to cancel clients booked in for Facial treatments, we were housebound, I couldn’t even walk the dog and I needed to keep hold of something to stop me going into free fall…

I decided to focus on the course. In planning and then filming PowerLift I was getting the benefits from doing Face Yoga, as well as filling difficult days with light and joyful energy ✨

Because I hadn’t told anybody about the blooper I decided to put a note in with the routine just before the launch. The note explains why I’ve kept it in as it could either look like a mistake, or really slack and unprofessional.

However it’s actually part of why you’d choose to do a course of mine and not somebody else’s. You have to feel like we are similar to sign up.

By similar I mean trying… to take care of yourself, to feel better about yourself, to keep some time for you, all amidst the messiness of your busy life.

My course shows you that no matter what life hits you with there is always some space to use Face Yoga to lift & calm.

You can visit the link in my bio to find:

💫 free routines to try

💫 info about the GLOW course which is a shorter course, designed to get you doing something daily

💫 info on the new PowerLift course which is a longer course, designed to give you a lift & glow

My inbox is always open for questions 💌

And don’t forget to apply your spf tomorrow ☀️

With love & light,
Amy 💛

YOU & ME BABE 👭

We are so similar, you just don’t know it…

I created my business out of love for myself which was masquerading as love for my skin 💆🏼‍♀️

I’d spent time working within marketing, specialising within consumer behaviour and I worked both client-side and agency-side. I did those focus groups and spreadsheets, I helped to develop products and to re-launch brands.

But I didn’t realise that it would lead me to you.

I didn’t realise what it taught me was for now, not until recently when I found myself studying faces to treat the skin holistically.

There are so many similarities between you and me that we really need to hold each others hand so we can ride these waves together 🌊

But we don’t do it because we are scared to be who we really are.

And because you don’t realise how much what you feel is what I feel too.

Being human is messy. We are all messy. I’ve learned that we are all fighting with self-acceptance because we are all a product of our lived experiences just desperately wanting to find calmness inside our heads. To be able to love ourselves just as we are. Messy, imperfect but beautifully real ✨

Wouldn’t you love to look in the mirror and smile at your reflection. Not stare and see flaws but smile and accept that you are the magic.

To dance in your own light is a gift that you can give to yourself if you can just be bold, brave and step forwards.

I can hold your hand - in fact I’ve written this post for the Queens who’ve signed up to my new PowerLift course. I’m going to hold their hands beyond the course, to help lift them higher so they can keep going until they glow!

This course is about loving your skin so that you can love yourself because we all need a little lift, especially in mid-life.

Thank you if you’ve joined me to PowerLift. It’s a two-way switch and you have helped me with your trust and faith. I’ll be in touch soon 💌

If you haven’t signed up but you’re wanting to then is offering the course for half price if you purchase one or more of the Heart Kisses range of products.

With love & light,
Amy 💛

EASTER MONDAY OFFER 👇🏼

I hope you’ve enjoyed some Easter love and found time to rest and replenish ahead of the normal routine beginning…

I always feel mixed with part of me wanting to stay still in a holiday bubble, and the other part wanting to step out of it and enjoy some time being busy! ⚖️

I launched my new PowerLift Face Yoga course on Good Friday to encourage anybody who signed up to make a start.

My thinking was that if you had some time then you could work through the whole course from start to finish (it’s 1.25 hours long) and then you’d be ready to take the ‘FastTrack lifting routine’ and make it part of your daily practice this coming week.

You will notice the difference that the techniques make to your skin (and importantly to how you feel) within a few weeks which is why I wanted to encourage you to get going with both the discount and the long weekend.

However I did have the fear on Friday when I suddenly went to launch and worried if I was alone with this…

What if nobody signed up.

All my efforts would have been pointless and I’d clearly not encouraged anybody to give themselves a bit of time and space to try it.

I’m not going to pretend that I was excited but then a bit deflated when I realised that certain members of my family have signed up, not to enjoy the course but instead to support me, and to stop me from feeling like I’d failed.

This is what we do out of love, and I love them both so much anyway but especially for knowing how much this course involved.

To those of you that have signed up, thank you. I will be in touch individually after Easter because I have seen your names, I have smiled, it has made me feel incredible that you’re going to do this.

GOOD FOR YOU!✨

Together we rise ✨✨

Right now I’m still in bed but shortly to get up and get on because come tomorrow I’ve a lot of work in the pipeline but first, my daily lifting routine (which is included within the course!) is calling me 💆🏼‍♀️

With love, light & the last of the chocolate,
Amy 💛
