Implementing digital marketing techniques, even though I was in the industry for 20+ years, is so much harder but 1000 times more rewarding when itās your own business š« I also realise now I knew only the surface of implementing SEO!
I loved my digital marketing career. I worked the ladder to be a very successful Global Director at a top London agency. And made life long friends. But after loosing my dad my world changed, as did my heart and priorities. I reignited my passion for flower arranging, combined with learning the hidden meanings and messages of flower - and thus Faux Floral UK was born. Curating luxury faux flower displays to capture moments and memories forever š
The world of running your own business means you wear every hat. I love it. You make the calls that are important and you learn from your failures. As my sons says, every day is a learning day! It can be overwhelming and lonely. Finding likeminded individuals and groups to bring me up and I them, is so important.
Had dad told me Iād be running my own business, Iād have told him he was crazy. š¤Ŗ Fast forward and he was far from crazy.

My motivation has been down this week, so it was time to pick myself up and spring clean my workspace and mind. Reminding myself why I started this business and why I love creating meaningful faux floral arrangements for my customers šš š·
After my dad passed away my life was turned upside down and backwards. But I didnāt fully realise it at the time. 6mths later when I did, I knew I had to stand still and change things in my life. One of which resulted in me trading my 20+ year career in London to follow my passion. I now curate meaningful faux arrangements for funerals, graveside tributes, wreaths and bouquets. Seeing the joy and memories they bring to my customers is amazing. But itās not always flowers and ribbons for me. The pain of grief is still real. So having time to still stand still is important. So now having a workspace to inspire me and feel connected to dad has given me a boost I needed š
To anyone living with grief, be kind to yourself. To anyone with a friend or family member dealing with grief, donāt forget to check in on them no matter how long itās been. The loss never goes away. Keep your memories close and never let them go š„°

8 days until itās officially Spring š·š
To celebrate, Iām holding a Spring flower workshop where you can make your own faux display. Which will keep all Spring and many more to come! All natural looking materials, but you donāt have to worry about them wilting or not lasting until Easter. You chose the flowers in your display and Iāll be there to guide you through & provide information on the meaning behind each flower.

The Rebel Business School are truly amazing and I canāt thank everyone enough for supporting me ā¤ļø @therebelschool
After loosing my dad, my world was upside down. I took the leap to stand still, resigning from my great job in London and amazing colleagues to focus on me, my family and reassess the priorities in my life.
It were as if the stars collided. I took the opportunity to join the Rebel Business School free 2 week course on starting a business. I didnāt have an idea, a name, a logo, any customers or understanding of how to build a business and brand. From day 1 I knew Iād joined something special. The tutors were amazing, I meet so many fellow liked minded people with great business ideas and the energy was off the charts š„ By the end of the 2 weeks I had a business idea, a name, a logo, an idea of my customers, the tools, tips and resources to bravely move forward and I started my Instagram channel! Faux Floral UK was born!
6 months on my life is so different in so many ways. There are hard days, days I wish I could talk to dad. But there are amazing days, days I think wow I did that and Iām able to share it all with my mum š
Thank you to everyone who has supported me. To my boys, to my mum, my friends, those Iāve met at markets, suppliers and all of you who have shared, liked, commented and bought from me.
Who knows where the path will go over the next 6mths. Letās see!

Those who know me, know Iāve always been a bit of a rebel š But it was 6mths ago I started my Rebel Business School journey, and oh boy it hasnāt disappointed.
Iād never contemplated having my own business before. It always seemed way too scary. But something had changed. The stars had aligned š
Following my dad passing away I traded in my London job to stand still for a while and re-evaluate my lifeās priorities. Through taking that time and the support and confidence The Rebel Business School provided, I took the leap to start Faux Floral.
There are scary days, amazing days, teary days (happy & sad tears), confusing days, exciting days - but they are all days I feel ultimately Iām now doing what I should be doing. And I know my mum is proud & my dad would be too ā¤ļø
Thank you @therebelschool for showing me it is scary but a good scary to have your own business x A massive thank you to my boys for supporting me. To my mum @elizabethgray51 for literally always being there for me and to all my friends and family for being amazing x You all rock š

All our mums, be they physically with us or not, hold cherished memories ā¤ļø
In my faux arrangements I choose flowers with meaning, to convey and capture special memories. Memories that will be captured forever and watering or wilting wonāt be a worry.
If you want a bouquet or display to capture special memories, to give to your mum or lay at her graveside - drop me a message. Iād love to help make your Motherās Day super special š š
