I've been tagged by my wonderful friend
Sabine. An explanation and rules for how tagging works can be found at the end of this post.
So here goes:
1. I was born in Bolton and raised in a small town called Atherton (about 20 miles from Manchester). I've lived in the surrounding area all my life and we're now, well as soon as the house situation is sorted, moving to mid Wales to be near Gary's family and I can't wait.
2. As a little girl I wa…

Sorry I haven't written for a while.
It seems that most of September was taken up in preparation for the ALL WOMAN SHOW in Winchester and the beginning of October recovering from it!! So I thought I would share my experiences of my first ever exhibition, oh and I'll t…

Hey everyone,
Sorry I've been quiet again recently. Personally I've had my youngest children's birthdays - my beautiful Jasmine was 3 on the 15th August and my cheeky monkey Elliott was 2 on the 27th August. Big family party on Saturday the 23rd August, it was a mad house with a bouncy castle in the back garden - not sure if that was for the kids or the adults hee hee. It really was heart melting though to see how excited our kids were.
And so, some more great news from me from a business pers…

No I don't mean I look like one (although I probably do being in my static state with my back problems
), I mean the fact that I don't blog for a while and then two come at once
This is only a short one though to say that the lovely Becky has done another makeup tutorial on Youtube if anyone is interested in watching. Here's the link:…

Hey everyone
Well I haven't posted for a little while. Lots been happening, some good some bad.
I'll start with the bad. Unfortunately my back took a turn for the worse a couple of weeks ago, pain at the base of my spine going into my right buttock (my problems were always on the left). I suffered for a week before contacting the hospital and my GP so I'm currently awaiting an emergency MRI scan to see what's going on. As you can see, the usual non-urgency of the NHS means I haven't got an app…

Okay so this is not linked to my cosmetics business but to my other passion (no not my husband and my kids either ha ha), my passion to support my fellow sufferers who have experienced/are experiencing what it's like to live life with a prolapsed disc(s)/sciatic nerve problems. It truly is a debilitating condition and I believe a condition which is totally underestimated as to how it can affect your everyday life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not feeling sorry for myself, I want to put energy into he…

Hi everyone,
It's me again
. Lots of things have been happening this past week or so. I'm happily still working alongside Jen on the handmade jewellery and together we've got lots of ideas for the Wedding part of my website. I've purchased some lovely 'wedding' gift bags and sparkly tissue paper to wrap everything in, I'm just deciding on what goodies to include…

The lovely Jen Guezo has done it, she's made her first pieces of stunning jewellery for my online business, Iona Cosmetics. Please have a look at the website under Handmade Jewellery, there are three sets of necklaces with matching earrings, very classy. I just love them and wish I could keep them for myself ha ha.
Okay they do say that friends perhaps shouldn't go into business together (even though I know there are a few Web Mums here who would beg to differ), but we're both so easy going and…

Well more great news which I'm so excited about.
A very talented lady, Jen Guezo who is a new member to WM, makes the most gorgeous handmade jewellery. She is going to be making pieces exclusive for Iona Cosmetics. Each piece will be totally unique and not available anywhere else.
I'm so pleased to be working with Jen, we've known each other for about 18 months now and I've purchased some of her pieces for myself and for my daughter. She really is so creative and talented and I feel so honoure…

Another little update from me. I've been very busy lately promoting Iona Cosmetics (www.ionacosmetics.co.uk). I've got a Squidoo lens now called "Welcome to my lens introducing online cosmetics from the UK - Iona Cosmetics", check out the link on my profile. It took me ages to do and I do keep adding to it even now.
I'm also talking via email to lot of other fantastic women via WM or Twitter etc. who, like me, are working from home whilst caring for their kids - good on ya ladies!! It's just so…

Hi y'all
Well I'm just feeling a little frustrated these past few days. Since the end of May I've worked hard on rebranding my company, designing the website, getting all the stationery e.g. leaflets, letterheads etc. I've listed on the internet, anywhere I can for free but orders have almost come to a halt. What am I doing wrong? Is it just the holiday season starting?
On a positive note, I've got one, possibly two Iona Cosmetics Consultants on the books now and they're busy starting their pa…

Hi everyone
I'm new to this whole site really but Nikki suggested I write a blog about my recent experiences (never written a blog before). I'll try to waffle too much lol.
I recently had to have an operation on my spine (micro discectomy) on the 14th May 2008. Months and months prior to that my lovely husband had been running our relatively new cosmetics business and working full time himself whilst I struggled to just look after the kids during the day.
Since my operation, I feel I have a n…
