Hey corner! Another week has passed, it's fast! :)
Planning a summer event at Creative Makeup
I already said after Christmas to Miska “we can not do this year's summer event extra great ?! ” and we are working on that fully now :)
During the week I have set up a plan with what the evening should look like, a to do list and areas of responsibility so that we are all helped (both what we can do now, what should be done just before and also what tasks everyone has during themselves the event).
And so I designed an invitation that we published last Thursday, I was shocked that so many sniffed right away! While I was inside the osa document, I saw new names that were filled in haha. Already the same evening, 40 people had unsaid and there is 1.5 months left until the event, if it continues to fill up as it does now, we are considering making another event night! We have limited space but you do not want to say no to so many either :)
The theme for the evening is "beauty is wellness" and the atmosphere itself will be summery and tropical. Here is an inspirational picture that I showed everyone, from various events that I myself have been to:
Flowers and summery signage with products, and we will have a nice balloon wall as well that everyone can take pictures in front of and have actually ordered balloons with our logo on!
The evening begins with mingling while we wait for all the guests, after which we will give a relatively short presentation. Annika will talk about beauty being wellness and I will, as usual at our events, hold a make-up demo! Exactly what I am going to show is not completely nailed yet, do you have any suggestions on what you would have liked to see, I am happy to receive tips, I have quite a few ideas myself but I can not stand and put on makeup for any length of time but it must go quite fast and be interesting even if you as a guest are a short distance away.
Then the mingling continues and we will have lots of summery snacks and drinks, great offers on treatments and products and help everyone with personal advice, test shades and answer questions. And everyone who buys for a luxurious goodie bag!
Then the evening ends with presenting winners in our raffles and we will have great prizes, I can hint about;)
I sent this picture to someone on Snapchat with a good eye for shape and color, sometimes I can become so insecure when I sit and do design things that I need to ask around a bit about tips and response. Love the modern society we live in haha!
And here is the end result:
Fint va? It proved to be attractive because so many want to come :)
If any of you want to come to the event, you can sniff in the form here! It is of course free and everyone is welcome, but we have a limited number of places.
Studio work on Wednesdays
I have not worked from home as much as I really want lately, and that is because I always get such decision anxiety "is this a good day not to be at the salon?" etc. But now I have therefore nailed that every Wednesday is homework days!
This Wednesday I photographed my lip tattoo on which I intended to post before and after pictures. I photographed make-up tips step by step that will be a beauty guide post in the webshop, and a make-up as usual as well. In addition, I took photos before and after with a new decolorization that LÓréal Paris has sent a press release on.
Then I washed off the make-up and sat with hair wrap and face mask and went through the pictures and fixed some other computer work in the sun on our terrace. I enjoy life!
Evening meeting with the whole team and BIG plans were born!
Every other Thursday we have a hug meeting where we list improvements, report how the economy looks, repeat our goal and focus, etc. And every now and then we make these more inspiring and dreamy meetings where it is not as upset but more talk and life :) And then we order food and hang out ♥
This is what it looks like at the top of our action plan where we list all the improvements that need to be made:
Countdown to June 30 when our goal picture should be achieved :) You can see how the seconds are counted down haha!
"What can we do in the next 2 weeks?" it says then and there I write down everything that is said and who should do what :)
Among other things, there were a lot of ideas about our event, of course, but above all a new idea was born that I thought I could actually tell because it is nothing secret, we will start investigating the matter but it is not completely nailed if we start the plan or not. But if we drive, we drive big!
It started with me waiting for the food to start showing pictures of my dream houses I have found in Spain and in Mexico haha, and then Annika said that she was also eager to be able to work in Spain (we have not even talked to each other about this) fixed type rent in a salon and tattoo. Just to get away from the winter without having to take a long vacation. Miska and I have thought that we should be able to work remotely via the computer only.
And this caught the staff right away! "I can come and work in Spain!" and suddenly we were sitting and discussing opening a salon in Spain too! How fun? :) We are thinking of 1-2 people who work full time there (who live in Spain full time already) and then the staff in Sweden can work some weeks at the Spain salon as well! What a wonderful privilege to come to Spain look like close!
I actually do not know this in retrospect if everyone in the staff understood that I, Miska and Annika meant seriously with this idea, realized afterwards that they are not as used to our brainstorming meetings and how we can track down sometimes! But it was not just fun talk on our part :)
We have not checked out any details at all on how this would work in practice between the countries, etc. But we will actually check it out, I am very excited! Our Spain move might be like a salon project instead :)
To be continued!
We offered sushi late, had so much fun together! Love this gang! :)
6-day week at the salon
Lisa was free last Saturday so I jumped in and worked then. I have had more customers than usual this week overall as well and have, among other things, taken 3 make-ups that I will show before and after pictures of :) One of them I published already last Friday.
Then it has not been so much more special, I have declared which was not quite easy as my old private company hangs around and haunts even though it is closed and then I will declare the company that I am a partner in as well and it is difficult to understand what everything means with “acquired shares” and such boring terms;) SO nice that we have help with the finances in our AB, with accounting, financial statements and all that. Worth every penny.
Hope you also had a great week! I myself will celebrate Miska who turns 31 today, I really do not know how I would have managed without him :)
Hugs are! ♥
Congratulations to Miska!
