Vanity Flair

I am a simple girl from the countryside who has always had big aspirations but I always felt like I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up… I felt like this even at the age of 30. I was a hard worker and for the first ten years of my career I was working in a 9-5 admin / sales role. I felt like I was missing out on life working to fulfil someone elses dream. Working 45 hours a week yet living paycheck to paycheck. I yearned for more.

In 2012 two momentus things happened… my mother, who was also my best friend, passed away from secondary breast cancer… and my amazing husband started his own company. This allowed me to be at home and focus on helping my dad with his own small business! It was at this time I became interested in professional and personal development, pscychology and success mindset.

In 2014 we fell upon hard times. After months of struggle our business went into liquidation and we lost everything. We lost our only source of income, We could no longer afford our rent. We had to sell all of our possessions so we could afford food, I ended up on anti depressants and anxiety medication as we were constantly receiving demands for money we simply didn’t have. We were about as close to bankcruptcy and homelessness as it is possible to get. It was the worst experience of my life and the one person I would turn to in times of sadness was no longer here.

It was the most mundane situation which allowed me to have a breakthrough. I needed a new hairbrush!! I remember standing in the shop and staring at this £5 brush and I literally could not excuse the expense! I remember thinking to myself ‘you are 31 years old!!!! How did you let this happen!?’ it was a point of no return for me. I decided it was time to do something about it.

I joined a network marketing company and my business Vanity Flair marketing ltd was born. I had never heard of network marketing and I did not know what I was supposed to do but I was fuelled by a burning desire to make a massive change in my life and I threw myself into learning. I needed to learn how to sell our cosmetics but also how to build a team and help them be successful. My business grew rapidly. I believe this is due to my passion for what I do, my knowledge of personal development, my ability to coach and for the vision I have for myself and my ladies. In the last 2.5 years I have grown my organisation to 11k+ amazing women. In our second year we sold almost $8m in makeup and I have built more leaders in my organisation than I ever hoped for. I have helped many women build their own cosmetics home business and achieve their dreams… whether that is to hand in their notice and work from home around their children or whether it is to have more freedom and flexibility in life. In 2016 I was asked to speak at our annual company convention in St Louis, I also collected two awards for the amount of women I have helped and Younique asked me to feature in their Spring catalogue which was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. My husband and I have travelled the world and we are about to buy our first house together.

It has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life and now I am driven by my ability to help others achieve what I have accomplished.
