I first spotted this taping at the Olympics and on Rafael Nadals leg at Wimbledon. I then happened to suffer a shoulder sprain and decided to give it a go. It didn`t erase my injury but it certainly helped me continue training and eased the pressure I felt on my joint and muscles.<br />
Theres a massive amount involved in this, so I`ll keep this post generic for now and post individual reports on different techniques and problems as we go along in the future. I discovered that it can even be used over a pregnant ladies tummy, to help offload some of the extra weight and strain.<br />
<br />
After much research, I chose Rocktape, as its the leader in the industry and the quality of its tape is unrivalled. Let the taping begin! <br />

Whats going to be big in the nail sector?<br />
I really like the Essie Lux Effects range. Theres dramatic colours such as blue and red to choose from, or a more subtle gold and silver. I think the silver would even work really well for winter brides. Just going to try and persuade one of my brides this year to try it! <br />

It was my birthday recently and I received a brilliant gadget that has me hooked.<br />
I`m really into healthy living right now and understanding how my body is reacting to different foods and different types of exercise.<br />
<br />
Its the Nike fuel band, which can be purchased at Apple stores, and no doubt on line. £145.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C28vPth3Xio">FUEL BAND VIDEO</a><br />
<br />
Its a funky wristband type bracelet, in black, opaque or green, in various size, with spacers too.<br />
<br />
To set it up on my laptop took a simple 5 minutes, even I managed not to get confused or mess it up!<br />
Then I downloaded the app on my iphone, synced it up and away I went!<br />
<br />
You can select what level of fuel you want to burn up each day - inactive, active etc etc. And basically you just get on with it!<br />
It tells oyu all sorts of things, Im still learning now what it can tell me! Steps taken, calories burnt, how far off you are from your target. Theres graphs on there, comparisons by day, week or month.<br />
<br />
Theres even a really funny man that jumps up and down when you achieve a goal.<br />
<br />
I`ve found it really good that if I`ve had a lazy day in the office, it makes me get up and move!! Its also been really useful in showing me what types of exercise are actually more effective for me.<br />

I can get you thick glamourous lashes, or a more natural finish if you`d like. And dont make any judgements about age, they are not just for the younger client. They are amazing at making sparse and thin lashes come back to life again. x<br />

We are really delighted with the introduction of Sienna X at OMG. Its a really handy spray tan to have in, as it develops within a couple of hours, so it helps us with our Thursday night rush, as people can come in on a Friday or even Saturday and still be brown to go out at the weekend. It also smells of coconut and goes on quite dry. Some of our clients who dont like to sleep in their tan like this spray tan as they can wash it off before they go to bed.<br />

I love doing individual eyelash extensions anyway (I use Perfect Lash), but when a client comes in with damaged eyelashes, and I can give them back their smile and confidence, well, it makes my day!<br />
Obviously, you ideally want the original natural lash to have some consistency and length, in order not to compromise quality, stability and longevity, but all the same, when needs must, I`m happy to help!<br />
Eyelash extensions not only give extra length, they can give volume, fill gaps, have colour, flicks and even glitter!<br />

Predominantly my current experience is in the salon/hair/beauty/nails industry, but prior to that, I worked for a large financial company, so can turn my hand to most kinds of business. I`m offering down to earth, approachable, contemporary consulting, that makes sense!

Its quite easy in the hair and beauty industry to get wrapped up in material things, but for my birthday, it was the simplest things that made me smile! More than 150 friends leaving messages on my facebook, sharing cake with my bestest of friends and birthday pressies such as a teapot and some vintage badges. I`m going to use this realisation about the teeny things in life, in OMG and how we treat our clients. Making the small little gestures and making our clients feel truly fantastic! ;-)OMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18139258600550821080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145584261185765264.post-30775687002210861202011-08-11T11:22:00.000+01:002011-08-11T11:22:08.024+01:00Magnetised!!In a recent previous post, I mentioned a new trend in nails and thats Magnetic Nail Polish! Well I got hold of LCNS starter kit and have been having a play around. My clients are loving it! To the eye, it looks quite three dimensional and people want to touch it all the time as they cant believe its dead flat! I used Essies Good To Go Topcoat as its still th ebest on the market (in my humble opinion!)<br />
Do you like??!!!<br />

Its purely a vehicle for sharing my love of life - but in particular, hair, beauty, fashion and nails. Things intrigue me, things inspire me and some things even frustrate me and my blog is a way of communicating my thoughts with other people.<br />
But Looks blogging competition has hooked me and I cant resist entering! A bit like trying to walk past the coconut chocolate spread at Sainsburys - virtually impossible!<br />
I would totally love to be sat in the front row at the Look Show @ London Fashion Week. Aside from being able to blog almost instantaneously about what I`m seeing, I can sneakily look at what all the guests are wearing and gossip about it on my blog. I promise that I will try hard not to gawp with an open mouth and drool over the lush fashions I will see, what I will do is give you down to earth, honest, real life posts that inspire and make you giggle ;-)OMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18139258600550821080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145584261185765264.post-29089516790226668212011-08-10T22:02:00.000+01:002011-08-10T22:02:23.868+01:00Ahead of my time!? (well my mother was!)I recently found this picture of myself at about 7 years old. Over the last few years, recycling fashion has been really popular. Most beauty contests now have a section where contestants have to make their own costume, with recycling being a hugely popular theme.<br />

Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 shows many creative ways of wearing dots. Dots on hats, bags, shoes, clothes and even nails. I`m thinking that we may even see multi dots - large dots mixed with small, a bit like the double denim trend of not long ago. I`m thinking of upgrading my nice stachel leather bag this autumn with a silky black and white dotted scarf tied around one of the handles. And I`m just on the search into my nail kit for my dotting tool thats about ten years old! Yes, what goes around eventually comes around! And one final thought, i wonder if the sale of dalmations is about to go up??!!OMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18139258600550821080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145584261185765264.post-84554255254862781822011-07-30T12:01:00.000+01:002011-07-30T12:01:38.678+01:00Photoshoot prep! and a busy week ahead!Next week sees OMGs latest photoshoot coming together. The team have been busy with moodboards, researching, practising, working with the models and discussing the hair, makeup, nails and clothes. I will post some pics as soon as I have them.<br />
Also next week we have a new beauty therapist joining us, Rachel Harries, she has over 7 years experience and has a really nice friendly caring personality. We are also opening our 5th treatment room, and its looking good! I think i might need a bit of a rest next Sunday when the weeks over!OMGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18139258600550821080noreply@blogger.com0
