'Timing is everything and hard work needs to be consistent. As much as you saw me on the show you didn’t see all my skills but they are building my brand and businesses.

'Both have launched on socials finally! I went on @apprenticeuk to learn and be mentored by the best, but this is just the start 🔥

'I’m all about using my skills and knowledge from my career AND building a business around my personality & love for beauty 🔥'. (sic)
