So… Vic has somehow convinced me to sign up for a charity skydive on Saturday 25th July with one of our lovely clients, Ashgrove Health … still not entirely sure how that happened 😅

We’re doing it in support of Medical Detection Dogs 🐾 — a charity that does incredible work and is very close to their hearts (and let’s be honest… anything involving dogs has me saying yes!)
If you’d like to support us, we’d be so grateful for any donation, big or small 💙

Click on the link below and scroll down until you see our link and click on the "donate now" button, thank you so much.

Relaxing is usually the first thing to go when you’re running a business.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

We handle the admin, the calls, the inbox chaos — so you can focus on your clients and take a real break now and then.

You’ve earned it. 💆‍♀️💼

A huge win for Independent Aesthetic Practitioners.

Finally, the fear-mongering can stop. So many in the industry – especially women, single parents, and breadwinners – have built compliant, licensed, insured businesses from the ground up.

Well done to practitioners like my client Nita McEvoy: experienced, talented, and fully licensed.

She isn’t going anywhere.

Our work is safe, our clients are loyal, and our businesses are intact.

Onwards and upwards. I look forward to helping you all build your businesses to thrive more, now that there is clarity and you are not going anywhere!

I cannot believe that I almost forgot Vic's workaversary (okay, she reminded me).

2 years ago she came to work with me never having done this type of work before, BUT and it is a big BUT - she had so much people experience, she knew how to manage people and situations (this is the woman who would rugby tackle shoplifters lol) and came with a wealth of customer service behind her that it was a no brainer to take her on.

2 years on and she has learned such a lot, she has taken everything in her stride and I have ignored her when she got her knickers in a twist when her computer "will not do it". I have thrown a lot of new clients at her recently but she has coped amazingly.

On her first day, I told her that she had to dress "properly" even though she was working from home and the photo below was the result 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Vic has brought a lot to this business, she works incredibly hard, and her sense of humour brightens up the darkest of days.

I am so glad that Vic is here, she has no idea how much she makes my day a lot easier 🥰🥰🥰

When you work remotely it can be the small things that keep you motivated and cheer you up.

My Sister and I send each other a small gift each Friday which costs no more than £5.

It has made us inventive with our gift choices but it also requires some thought when deciding "what can I send her this week?"

These frogs were definitely an "awwwww" moment for me, I meant to find somewhere to put them but they are still on my desk because who doesn't like looking at a smiling frog 😍

I’ve had a couple of calls this week where the caller asked, “Can I speak to the owner of the business?”

As a VA, I’ve heard this question more times than I can count. Naturally, I’d respond by asking, “Do you know the owner’s name?” and every time, the answer was a flat “No.”

Lately, I’ve started replying, “Well, I suggest you go find it, then.”

That might sound rude, but think about it: if you’re trying to sell something to a business owner, the least you can do is learn their name beforehand. How unprofessional does it look when you can’t even address someone properly before pitching your product or service?

Why This Matters:

- It shows a lack of genuine interest when you don’t know who you’re speaking to.

- It wastes everyone’s time if you’re not prepared.

- It’s respectful (and strategic) to do basic research before reaching out.

Key Takeaway:

If you really want to connect with a business, knowing the owner’s name isn’t just polite—it’s essential.
