Flying visit to share my happiness

I am SO excited!

The beautiful Rachna Sachdeva (of Mums in Control) has kindly written a review of my facial rejuvenation and Raw Gaia signature living facial treatments – and it appears in the Spring issue of her magazine, which has just been printed!

Whoooohoooooo!!!

Thank you SO much Rachna, you’ve made my month!

Maidstone Launch

Very excited, we have found the perfect venue for our Maidstone launch. It is going to be at The Pippin, London Road, Maidstone on the 20th May. We have also arranged press coverage, and everything is coming together.

Moon Walk update

Well another lovely morning I left home at 6am and walked to join my other walkers so I was off to a head start. Lots of pain now and a very large blister but I am getting there.

Great days!

Yesterday Penny and I were delighted to be invited by 1230 TWC members Fiona McAllister and Nicola Broadhurst of Mundays to the Princess Alice Hospice Friends Extra Lunch at the new Epsom Race Stadium. We met some fabulous people there with John Short comparing the event and Simon Lycett demonstrating the most stunning floral arrangements. These and other items were auctioned to help the wonderful work that the staff at Princess Alice Hospice do to help the terminally ill.

Today we attended a Women in Management network Conference at Radison’s Hotel in London to hear inspiring speakers Liz Jackson, Pauline Crawford, Cali Bird, Amanda Annandale and Linda Griffiths – thank you 1230 TWC Chislehurst Manager Jan Woollett for inviting us. If you get the opportunity to hear any of the speakers yourself – grab the chance immediately – you won’t be disappointed!

Birthday cake – and learning to fly in the Twitterverse

Monday 20th April saw 1230 TWC Wimbledon celebrating her 1st birthday: helping us to celebrate the happy occasion were Penny Denby and Jackie Groundsell (founders of 1230 TWC), with Teresa Leong (Wimbledon manager) bringin along the most divine carrot cake I have ever tasted in my life!

I arrived very early, keen to help Teresa prepare the room … unfortunately, none of us had thought to bring along a camera as we would have loved to share the decorations in the Piaf restaurant’s conservatory with you. Gorgeous pink ballons fluttered gaily in the breeze, while a few mini Womble characters lay sprinkled on the table and I brought in my own personal collection of Wombles – rather fitting, really, as the Wombles live in Wimbledon Common. Jackie Groundsell also kindly brought in a massive Womble which eclipsed my offerings … ahh well!

Back to business, we met some great new faces, as well as the usual friendly faces such as Fiona Coppard (Electra), Meera Prasad (Spa owner), myself and Fiona Syrett (1230 TWC Woking manager).

The meeting started with a talk on social networking and how it can help to boost your business, delivered by me (with my business consultant head on!) at the kind request of Teresa. Passionate about networking in all its guises, Twitter and Facebook etc. all help me to communicate with potential clients and businesses.

For the last half of the 30 minute talk I focused more on Twitter: a free, social networking tool which allows you to communicate globally in just 140 character ‘tweets’. I was delighted to launch my newest e-guide “Starting out on Twitter: Learning to fly in the Twitterverse” (available via www.moonpoppyenterprises.com/enetworking.htm) at 1230 TWC Wimbledon’s birthday celebrations and I know that a lot of business was exchanged on the day!.

Fiona Coppard (Electra) had thoughtfully given Teresa a wonderful handmade Womble birthday card and distributed a birthday gift (£5 voucher) to all the attendees, which was so thoughtful – and very gratefully received, especially now I have spied the latest bracelets she has in stock!

Azmina Jiwa also kindly offered 1230 TWC members a massive 70% discount on her one-day workshop “Zest for Life”, which I am heading off to tomorrow (Saturday).

Fiona Syrett has kindly invited me to be a guest speaker at the 1230 TWC Woking meeting in May 2009 to talk about Twitter so do please come along and join us …

Yet another great networking lunch where we were all able to make valuable connections and mix business with pleasure

Many congratulations to Teresa Leong for all her hard work and for the opportunity to share 1230 TWC Wimbledon’s birthday celebration in such a great way.

A Great Gathering

Gill Bentham from Hens Dancing gave a fascinating presention at the Sevenoaks Meeting today.

Moving through the ages, she charted women’s progress and independence from 1900 to 2008 when Hens Dancing was founded !

Gill’s company is going from strength to strength ~ every time I see her there are new ventures. It’s hard to believe that she started her company just over 6 months ago!

A fantastic networker, she is joining forces and arranging events with several other 1230 members.

Gill very generously donated 3 months membership to Hens Dancing as a raffle prize. This was won by
Tracey Taylor of Party NRG

Thank you to all who attended ~ it was lovely to see you all

Excited about my upcoming launch!

I have to say I’ve had a pretty fabulous response to the invites I’ve sent out for my business launch next Sunday. I’m very excited! I really look forward to everyone having the opportunity to try out some of the fabulous Arbonne products, and hear about this venture. Although it’s a new business in the U.K. for me, I have been a consultant with Arbonne International for 3 years, and have been loving every minute of it. Sunday will be a great opportunity to see everyone again, and to meet a few new people… even though I know some who are just coming for the free wine 🙂 I do have to say a special thank you to fellow 1230 member Helen Daniells from Peacock Events for her awesome help, support, and suggestions for this event. See you Sunday! Cheers!

Jewellery Magazine

I have been lucky enough to get an advert in Jewellery Making magaazine and when I got home today I had a sale from it Yippie!!!!

Happy Birthday Wimbledon

I went to 1230 Wimbledon today it was their first birthday and as always a fun meeting with Teresa full of energy – which is infectious!

The birthday cake Teresa made was just lovely – I think I’ll get her to make me one.

The Wombles were the theme of the day and Callie Carling (who enlightened us with her talk about Twittering) had put little Wombles on the table. A great meeting – with Jackie and Penny attending and lots of great contacts made.

Moon Walk progress

Well what a lovely morning I set out walking at 7am this morning and walked until 12. I have done 17 miles today, I now have fat fingers and ankles but hey its all worth it.
