On April 26th 2020 I turned 30 years old. Just like everyone else I figured my 30th year alive would be a big year and I was hoping for big things. Thankfully, I wasn’t wrong but not in a way I expected.Due to the COVID 19 lockdowns I spent my birthday in lockdown with no one to celebrate with me in person besides my partner and our furbabies. At first I was extremely saddened by this but it turns out the most at peace you are with yourself and your life the less you need to celebrate bit events.Instead of doing a large party in Melbourne (as planned), we celebrated at home with a simple day surrounded by taking a walk to the beach, making a three course meal together, playing board games and finishing off the day with a relaxing bath. From that day forward I because to appreciate the little things more and more and this has resulted to me learning so many things about myself, life and the direction I want to take in the future.

Our latest collaboration has been the biggest one yet involving three fellow entrepreneurs and three beautiful and inspirational models. This project was one that has been long-awaited since it was originally scheduled for March 2020, the weekend after the first lockdowns occurred due to the Coronavirus outbreak. In March 2020, Angie and the team had lined up three different models, a different location, and different female entrepreneurs with the same vision to bring her brand to life through the art form of photography. Sadly, for safety, the project had to be cancelled and a home-based photography shoot was done with the help of Angie’s partner Eden Brownlee – the owner of Accentuate Web Design & Marketing. Although the ‘Plan B’ shoot was a success it wasn’t able to fully communicate the brand or the versatility of the collection since the model was Angie, the owner who was a petite pear (a minority in the world of pear-shaped women).
