About me

I’m here to shake things up!

In a world advertising eternal youth and perfection, choose REAL BEAUTY.

In the quest for organic and natural products, choose clean products in GLASS, PAPER or ALUMINIUM packaging.

Show up as who you wanna be, free from ageless idealism and say goodbye to caring what other people think.

Looking good shouldn’t take hours to achieve, leaving you doubting your self worth. The world of airbrushed beauty feeds us unrealistic standards of beauty and youthfulness, which is great if you’re gorgeous and 18… I’m 54 and just starting to silence the critical inner voice of not feeling good enough. Consciousness is a good starting place.

Embrace the age and stage of life you’re at.

Imagine a world of wise women sharing life stories, celebrating their greys, laughter lines, their lip creases from kisses and frown marks from concern.

Aging happens from the moment we’re born, it’s real and not a flaw at all. Let’s show the future generations of girls the beautiful reality of growing into our later years. With thought for the environment and all living creatures.

“Upstyling is way easier than I thought and all the styles felt so comfortably me”

~ Mel Mayer – client 2020, 2022, 2023

“I’m a low fuss kinda girl. It takes me minutes to be ready for any occasion because I hate being overdressed and I loathe fussing. Also because I know lots of hair and makeup tricks to be ready quick (a bonus of being in the ever evolving industry for 25+ years!).

But we also need to think about the products we slather on our bodies, the plastic pumps we buy with every shampoo, the soap that comes in containers rather than good old bars… And don’t get me started on how we’re slaves to erasing our age, I could rant for hours on the ‘anti ageing’ industry. Not sustainable ladies!

So right here is where you’ll find an eco-friendly Low Fuss Beauty Movement. Let’s use less stuff to live life greener.

And embrace our unique beauty.”
