Mumpreneur Beauty Glo Box

Beauty Glo Box – Working as a Make Up Professional

Tell us your name and a bit about your family? When did you become a Mum and to whom?

I became a mum in 2012 working as a Senior Consultant for a leisure management consultancy, this provided me with a career having first started the company aged 17 as an Office Junior. My son Jacob was born in 2012, I then went into have my second son Braydon in 2015. As my family increased I then decided that working out on the road didn’t suit my family lifestyle as I would often work away from home and late evenings. I then decided to change my career and moved onto working for A company who specialises in mergers and acquisitions selling privately owned businesses, I love my job as this really gives me a challenge and no one day is ever the same. Daily I speak to entrepreneurs about their businesses they have and what exit plans they have in relation to selling their businesses.

This then sparked an interest in me in that I wanted to do be good at something for myself, so in 2015 I left my employment to have my third baby – a little girl renae. Whilst on maternity leave I decided to go on some beauty courses as well as a semi permanent make up course.

I have since returned to my employment working Monday to Wednesday’s and then also run my own beauty room Thursday – Saturday’s where I deliver a range of beauty treatments to my clients,
