Warm & Cold makeup

When I had put the eyeshadow around the whole eye, I realized how nicely it highlighted my blue eyes, so then I got the urge to add some blue details too! :) I think it turned out great together!

Hope you like the look you too :)

A very wide and elongated eyeliner wing at the outer edge + super narrow (only lash marking / lashliner) on the inside of the eyes, I think is really nice!

My business week v. 15

0

There was no Sunday post last week because I was very ill and was covered in high fever and throat infection again. Missed my 10-year-old party too, so damn boring!

But now I am healthy and have rolled up my sleeves again :)

Benefits of blog readers!
The last four throat infections, I have not sought care but gone all in on self-care with bactericidal gargle, Cold Zyme spray, meditation, healing, rest, supplements, etc.

Men denna gång råkade jag lova pappa att ta tag i det igen så i måndags blev det läkarbesök :) Och när jag kom till läkaren så behövde jag inte dra hela storyn om hur mycket jag varit sjuk de senaste 11 månaderna för det första min läkare sa till mig va “I'm reading your blog so I've been following your sore throat for almost a year now" Lol! Wonderful!

Hon visste ju då också om att jag inte varit den bästa på att lyssna på min kropp tidigare, men det har jag faktiskt varit de senaste gångerna. Fast jag gillar det inte om jag ska vara helt ärlig, jag mår bäst om jag får trycka i mig alvedon och ipren och leva på som vanligt. Det handlar inte om stress eller tidsbrits utan att jag inte vill att någonting kontrollerar mig. Det jobbigaste med att ställa in klassfesten var inte att jag missade själva festen, den var inte så viktig, utan det var att jag kände mig fasthållen hemma, att febern hindrar mig från att leva livet. Nu tycker ni kanske att jag är överdriven haha, jag är ju inte döende i cancer liksom. Men man vill ju aldrig känna sig kontrollerad och det börjar jag känna mer nu, vi har bokat resa till Gotland i sommar och jag tänker redan nu “hoppas jag är frisk då”. Usch!

I, who have been so good with my health lately, really thought I would manage to get a sore throat in April! Here is my new breakfast: Yogurt with blueberries, chia seeds and spirulina, omega3, probiotics and healing water with shungite stones. The worst health nerd now;)

Extra crack as a photographer
Miska is building websites and is currently helping Peragenda, which will soon have a new and nice website! We did teamwork and went to Tierp where Tommy (who runs Peragenda) held a workshop where I took pictures that we will use for the website and marketing.

Fun to get away on a slightly different mission! And great fun to be able to work together like this on projects that are outside the salon as well :)

Here I go through the pictures waiting for Tommy to finish the workshop so we could have a meeting afterwards.

Then we sat in a café and went through the website, various marketing channels, etc.

Taking photos is fast, but then it takes many hours to edit! I'm not a professional photographer, so then you have to do the biggest job in Photoshop hehe. So I've been sitting with it a lot this week and am not quite done yet.

Here are some of the pictures after editing:

Tommy who runs Peragenda :)

Miska got a little model too haha.

The pictures may not be flawless but I do not take photographer prices either;)

The picture on the ipad screen I cut there afterwards. Fun fact: The curve on the screen is actually how our occupancy rate increased for 2 years after we got help from Peragenda. Occupancy rate is thus how many bookings we had, if you work 6 hours in one day and are booked every 6 hours, you have 100% in occupancy. An incredible increase!

Freelance assignment at Disruptive Materials
On Tuesday, I packed my freelance bag and went to the company Disruptive Materials, which photographed new employees for its website.

Det är alltid lika trevligt att komma dit! Om jag inte hade varit 100% egen företagare så hade jag nog sökt jobb där haha. Man känner sig så välkommen när det första man hör när man kommer är “oh we have a nice visit here today!” och en av de nyanställda som har haft riktigt coola jobb i kosmetikabranschen tidigare utbrister “what fun to finally meet you !!“. Jag är ju där ganska sällan numera och ändå känner jag mig lite hemma på något vis. Det hade ju inte varit konstigt om jag bara kom dit, gjorde mina sminkningar och ingen minns mitt namn ens. Men nu stannar alla och pratar och snicksnackar, väldigt trevligt!

Ett uppbokat sminkbord fyllt med “godis” :)

Entrepreneur with baby
Jag fick frågan om hur det funkar med dom nya jobbrutinerna sedan vi flyttade hem till Annika och blev som “bonusföräldrar” till hennes bebis :) Imorgon är Mileya 3 månader och vårt nya liv med bebis och lantlivet funkar jättebra! Vi börjar komma in i rutinerna nu men spånar samtidigt på ett mer detaljerat upplägg med jobbrutiner när Annika ska börja jobba igen. Då är det jag och Miska som har bebisen.

Right now I work full days from home about two days a week, the days we go into town it is rarely full days so then I work from home before / after as well.

Så det blir mer planering än vanligt, jag bokar in kunder och salongsjobb mellan bvc-besök och diverse bebisärenden. Jag har inte lika många tider i bokningssystemet så några stamkunder har valt att gå till mina kollegor, men i övrigt fungerar livet som nybliven “mappa” och företagare bra haha!

Freshly made up with step by step look for the blog and ready to go into the salon, just a cup of coffee first. Yes, hot coffee over baby, that's me!

Other
I have not been so good at photographing what I have done so here comes a small other category only :)

It's been the end of the month so I've been sitting with statistics again. We have very low turnover now that Annika is on maternity leave, but if you do not count Annika and how the costs have looked but only on the income for the rest of us, February and March were the best months since August! And soon the wonderful spring rush will come :) Ida is so fully booked, so if you want to book a brown tattoo with her, there are no times until June!

The end of the month also means that the salary reports must be fixed. We have a lot of salary costs now because Lisa goes on maternity leave in May, but her replacement has already started + that all staff have received a salary increase. More than half of our costs are payroll costs, so it is definitely our biggest cost. But worth it too of course;)

The schedule puzzle is also a job that never ends. In part, we have booked both kiss meetings and hug meetings (personal meetings and with the whole team at the same time) and since it is starting to get more fully booked, it was not a completely uncomplicated task, but Olga was nice and could start earlier one of the days and Ida sacrificed one quarter of his lunch, so it resolved in the end! Then there are also many holiday wishes now to decide on, the summer holidays are over, but when everyone gets a spring feeling, it's small days and changes here and there. So it's been a powerhouse puzzle puzzle lately!

I have no plan
In January I had a little inner panic about what to do next, I was almost stressed by not having a stressful to do list haha. I had had so much before that it became empty when everything calmed down. I wrote about it in this Sunday post, that I felt a little lost.

Så känner jag inte längre, eller jo rent praktiskt så stämmer allting fortfarande eftersom salongen rullar på så bra att jag knappt behövs där längre. Jag jobbar mycket men inget är egentligen “måsten”. Jag jobbar lite för jobbandets skull haha.

Men skillnaden är att jag inte är stressad över det längre utan känner stark tillit till att det kommer lösa sig. Jag har en period nu då jag dels har lite mer fritid än innan, är det sol ute så tar jag en kaffepaus och sitter i solen en stund och har jag gjort allt jag ska en dag så slutar jag jobba tidigare istället för att tänka “vad mer behövs göras nu när jag har lite tid över?”.

Jag har helt enkelt accepterat att det bästa för mig just nu är att inte puscha mig själv framåt utan tar allting som det kommer. Just nu är jag sugen på att skriva en bok och utan några som helst mål med det så sitter jag och skriver, bara för att jag kan. Det kanske får bli en väldigt lugn vår och sommar, som jag inte kommer se tillbaka till och tänka “wow vad jag har åstadkommit!” men jag tror att det i sin tur kommer leda till någonting bra. Jag tar det lugnt och öppnar mitt sinne för nya idéer och erbjudanden som kan dyka upp. Eller så gör dom inte det, men då är jag i alla fall mer motiverad att börja puscha framåt igen till hösten.

I think it will be good!

This is how I sat last weekend with a face mask, hair wrap and foot bath and wrote on my book :) Luxury !!

Now it will be a quiet Sunday, a mecca will come here and change summer tires on our car (how nice with home visits?) But other than that I will just feel what I am craving and do just that. Maybe it will be a cozy walk along the lake!

Have a nice Sunday everyone ♥
