It might be January, but I’ve still got Christmas content to share! 🙊🎄🎈
December was a whirlwind, and I didn’t get round to posting much, so here I am, a little late to the party, keeping the festive vibes going just a little longer. Who else feels like the holidays flew by way too fast? 🙉

BALLOON WALL ~ it’s giving garden party on point vibes! 🌿

This bright, bold, and colourful balloon wall was created on a 1:1 with the talented Kiera from

When someone books a training day with me, I always ask beforehand what they would like to learn on the day, and Balloon Walls are always at the top of their list! And I can see why! Balloon Walls are one of my fave to create too, these designs are so much fun and make the picture perfect backdrop, they’re also a great way to showcase the creativity and skills learned on the day 😍 Seeing the final results, like this one, really makes all the hard work worth it! 🌿🎈

Firstly, I just wanted to say thank you all so much for your thoughtful comments, kind words and messages, this has meant so much to us, and I’m incredibly grateful for each and every one of you 🤍

A little update on Beaú:
She’s been feeling much better lately. We had a scare early last week and ended up back at A&E, but touch wood, she’s been doing well since. She’s still on a lot of medication and will be for a couple more weeks, but compared to how she was last month, it’s a big improvement.

Saturday was her Year 6 Festival-Themed Prom. We weren’t sure she’d be up to it, but she made it, and despite having to leave early due to her feeling unwell and tired, she really enjoyed herself with everyone 🎉

She’s back in school this week, and so far, so good! (apart from the early wake ups) With Beaú being so ill, she’s missed 3 weeks of school and has really missed all her friends and teachers and couldn’t wait to go back, especially because these are her last few weeks of Primary School before she moves on to High School 🙉

She also received her SATs results yesterday, and she achieved outstanding results! We couldn’t be anymore proud of her and all her achievements! 👩🏼‍🎓🌟

Thank you all again for your patience and understanding at what has been on of the hardest and scariest times 🤍

This display behind Beaú was created using the Universal Balloon Prop from I’ve been dying to do a display with this since it arrived a couple of weeks ago! This is such a game changer guys. It makes setting up super easy, no more worrying about how to attach garland to walls! The base is so strong and sturdy, perfect for both indoor and outdoor displays! The height and the arm can both be adjusted to fit your space. And all Meraki Academy members receive an exclusive discount code too! Saving you ££££! 🎈

This beautiful Balloon Wall was created by the lovely and very talented Kimmy who travelled from Korea to take a 1:1 class! It has been an absolute pleasure and hopefully one day we get to work together again 🩷

Wishing you a safe flight home Kimmy, and fingers crossed without any delays 🤞🏼🙉🙈kr 🩵🩷

How often do you talk with friends, family, or even yourself and feel full of self-doubt? How many times has this doubt stopped you?

Living your dream life takes hard work, focus, and dedication. But it all starts with one decision – to just go for it! ✨
Believe in yourself even if others don’t. Be around people who support you, no matter how wild your dreams seem.
Listen to your heart, not your doubts. Be brave, believe in yourself, and go for it, who knows where the journey might take you 🚀✨

Our classes are perfect for everyone, from beginners to those more advanced. For more information on our in person & online classes, send me a Dm or hit the link in my bio ✨

We can’t wait to meet you and have you part of the Meraki family 🩷
