Why Now, Why Me, Why This?

Let’s be honest — the idea of writing a blog has been quietly whispering in my ear for quite some time now. Like a persistent friend who knows you better than you know yourself: “Adriana, you’ve got something to say… now say it!”

So, here I am. Not just because it’s trendy to have a blog, not just because Google likes it (although let’s not lie, that helps too), but because I feel it’s time to let my voice — the real, unfiltered, mascara-stained-on-a-busy-day voice — be heard.

I’ve been in the beauty world for what feels like forever. Not in a superficial way, but in a soul-deep, heart-led, obsession-with-perfect-arches kind of way. I grew up drawn to transformation — the quiet magic that happens when a woman sees herself in the mirror and finally feels like the outside matches the inside. It’s not about hiding flaws; it’s about honouring your features. About saying “this is me” with pride, not apology.

You see, beauty for me has always been more than pigment, symmetry or a good brow day. It’s about connection. Intention. Understanding who you are and allowing that to shine. And no, I don’t mean in a ‘glow-up’ TikTok trend kind of way. I mean real radiance.

The kind that doesn’t fade after 7pm.

Why blog?

Because sometimes the chair isn’t enough. I see women, every day, walk through my door carrying more than their skin — they carry doubt, pressure, outdated beliefs about age, worth and what “beauty” should look like. And while I love transforming a face, I’ve realised I also want to speak to the heart.

This blog is that space.

A place where I can share knowledge, yes, but also truths, thoughts, questions, maybe even a few awkward mistakes — so we can grow, together.

It’s not about being perfect. (Let’s be real: I’m a perfectionist in recovery. Still relapsing weekly.) But it is about being honest. Grounded. Clear. Whether we’re talking microneedling, plasma, brows, lashes, mindset, or Monday meltdowns — I’m here for it all.

What can you expect here?

✨ Stories behind the treatments

✨ Semi Permanent Make up

✨ Lashes & Brows

✨ Real talk on skin, ageing, confidence, pressure and self-worth

✨ Tips that are honest, research-based and not “influencer noise”

✨ My personal journey — what works, what doesn’t, what I’m still figuring out

✨ And of course… lots of love for the woman you are without filters.

My promise?

That I’ll keep it real, relevant, respectful. That I won’t try to sell you nonsense or pretend I’ve got it all together. I’ll share from a place of care, curiosity and clinical knowledge. And I’ll always come back to this: Beauty should empower, not exhaust. Uplift, not confuse. Heal, not hide.

So welcome — to this next chapter, this digital corner of heart and honesty. Whether you're here for skincare wisdom, behind-the-scenes of treatments, or just a breather from the endless scroll, I’m glad you’re here.

Let’s make beauty meaningful again.

With kindness, clarity — and a little sparkle.

Warmly,

Adriana 🌸
