Happy Friday LHITFG fans!I hope you are looking forward to the weekend as much as I am. It's been a busy week and I am certainly looking forward to getting off my feet and relaxing a little this weekend!
Sadly this week we farewelled the hugely talented chanteuse Amy Winehouse. I remember the first time I listened to her second album, Back to Black. I was instantly in love with this little lady's huge voice and amazing Billie/Ella-esque sound. The CD stayed on repeat for a long time, Me and Mr Jones and Tears Dry On Their Own were hits for me - for a listener to be able to experience raw emotion through music is the mark of a truly talented artist. And that is what I hope that Amy is remembered for. Not for her battle with addiction or her slurred performances or public meltdowns, but for the amazing musical gift that she shared with the world. RIP Amy. You will be missed.
So! Because LHIFTG is all about celebrating everything YOU! meaning that we are all about what makes us women celebrate being just exactly what we are and what we love, it was decided that our new billboards for this year should show that. On Monday night, I dragged some of the team and some friends down to a local studio for a photo shoot! And I tell you what, I will never again criticise models or think that modelling is easy - it's absolutely not, it's really hard! We all stood up in front of the big lights and just froze, what exactly are you meant to do, how are you meant to pose? How do you stand? There is much more to it than meets the eye. So much thanks has to go to the fantastic Jenna Hitchcock from Beautique Photography, it was only with her art direction that we managed to get through it! Here's a sneak peek from the night:
I've been on a mission in the last week to get healthy again after a few weeks with a cold. I trudged out last night to try Power Plate Vibration Training. Has anyone else tried it? It is a very basic 15 minute workout - you do sets of exercises or stretches on a vibrating plate, apparently this amplifies the exercise, meaning you get much more benefit in a shorter amount of time. I was sceptical, of course. But I am happy to say I am definitely feeling it today, especially in my abs! I've got 5 more sessions to go, so let's see if anything comes of it.
We had a great YAY! moment in the office this morning! Our beautiful event manager Bonny got engaged last night to her man Bijan! It was a very romantic proposal, dinner followed by a "fake falling over" moment. When she bent down to help him up, he was on one knee with a beautiful sapphire sparkler! Ah love and congrats to you both from the team! It's been a pretty big engagement/wedding/love news week in the world, Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford, Jesse James and Kat Von D split (right after she tattoo'd his face on her ribs....oh dear) and New York councillors narrowly voting to allow same-sex marriages be performed in the state (hooray!), which saw one officiant preside over 100 marriages in a 24 hour period!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, see you next week!
