PUBLICATIONS, PRIZES & AWARDS
"It is Nice to Receive Recognition for Your Efforts, But Let Them Not be the Measure of Life."
While I’ve had the honor of receiving publications, prizes, and awards throughout my career, I no longer actively pursue them. While they are nice to receive, entering competitions etc can be incredibly time-consuming.
We all lead hectic lives, and it’s easy to forget what truly matters.
​
In my case, I prefer to focus on my own continued education, my students, clients and making memories with my family.
Additionally, with so many awards requiring payment to enter (something I have never done), the entire awards system can feel flawed and untrustworthy. I choose to focus on what brings me joy and fulfilment instead.
In November 2019 I received an Award of Excellence for having demonstrated exceptional standards of care & quality in the eyelash extensions services provided.
In February 2020 I received 1st Place in the Worldwide Lash Festival Competition and this in the 'Master - Coloured Lashes' Category.
I was nominated to be one of the Finalists at the English Nails Brows Lashes Awards in January 2020 and this in the category of 'Eyelash Extension Specialist of the Year'.
In January 2022, I was happy for an article of mine to be published in Issue 5 of 'Lash-Ed', a magazine aimed at educating and offering inspiration to the professional lash artist.
