Happy Quantaversary to me!

Soo just a quick little post saying that it's been over 1 year since I started working at Mary Quant's London office! I haven't posted a tonne about it, mostly because all my creative energy has been going towards work so I've barely been active on my own social media...

 But yes I work at MQ at the moment, as day jobs go, it's pretty great!
Yes- Mary Quant is still active as a brand- mostly in Japan, but we do ship worldwide so if you're interested, please check out Mary Quant Europe's online store here:  https://store.maryquant.co.uk/
(disclaimer- work haven't paid me to post this blog post but I do work at Mary Quant so...) 

I've still got a tonne to learn but I'm really enjoying it, plus I get staff discount on cosmetics yesss :D 

I hope you guys are doing ok! Stay safe gang!!

This post is a yearly tradition for me, I write a list of things I want to achieve in the next year. Unfortunately, due to *the current situation*, I didn't really get to tick off many things last year, but hey, here's hoping this year can be a bit better. (Also is it just me or does 25 seem hecking old aaaarghhhhh)

Last year's goals

4 Get another piercing// I mean the shops were shut, so nope

5 Try a new hair colour// DONE

6 Go on holiday!! // I mean, my family went on a little British beach getaway, and it was great

7 Go back to Leeds <3 // Didn't make it to Leeds, and I'm extremely gutted about it :'(

16 Go to some more gigs//
  Do virtual gigs count? I'm going to count this. 

17 Try dating apps//
 Yep :^) Hinge was my fave, although I'm not on them any more because I'm seeing someone!

18 Go and see The Room// Another post-rona thing

19 Visit Hastings// I haven't visited this cute UK seaside town since I was a small child

21 Do some pottery// because yolo. I want to make some aesthetic plates

22 Do something with my photos from Japan// I did nothing with them, classique

23 Get a polaroid camera// I just think they seem really fun. I want to try and either get a second hand instax or a proper polaroid (should have got it in Japan regrets are real)
