I love Monday’s in work, sounds mad to say that, but after the initial drag myself out of bed scenario after a busy weekend at work, the day soon improves when I walk through Peaches doors. Mondays usually consist of me and Hayesy cleaning the shop from top to bottom, whilst listening to cringeful music/singing and occasionally dancin’ whilst doing so!! This week Little Katie was off so Roey took over and with a little help from Will Smith’s Greatest Hits we had the shop sparklin’!
Another good thing about Mondays is the fact I get to become a teacher for the day in the make up lessons that are booked in. This week we had a girl, Mhairi, come all the way from Aberdeen to have the ultimate Peaches Experience. Firstly she had her hair put up by Kate, she chose one of our newest trends the ‘curly pony’ – which was perfected with one of Nic’s new fish plait head bands. Then she was ready to complete her look with a makeup lesson. Mhairi chose to have a go at mastering the ‘glitter smokes’ lesson and soon picked out two of Peaches new eye shadow pigments which she fell in love with and wanted to buy pretty much straight away!
I have included a few pics from the lesson. I started by talking Mhairi through the stages of the makeover step by step, starting with her eyes. I did the whole make over on one half of her face and left the other half for her to have a go herself. She was really confident and soon had the other side of her face looking just as good as mine!! 
Make up lessons are available throughout the week Monday to Thurdays in shop hours for individuals , or alternate Tuesday and Wednesday night – call the shop for more info 01512271669.

Heres a few words from my student of the day!
‘After watching ‘don’t tell the bride’ on BBC3 when it first came on screen. I became inspired by the work peaches and cream do. I found myself constantly scouring there website for make up tips and ideas but could never get it ‘just right’.Having just turned 21 my mum suggested we go to liverpool for the weekend so I could finally try the peaches way for myself. I could not have asked for better service and the outcome was amazing! I thoroughly enjoyed my day and can definitely see my self making the 6 hour journey from aberdeen again just to feel as fab as I do today ( even tho all I’m doing is shopping for the day!!! ) Thank you very much, love Mhairi x’

Today while the shop was quiet we thought it would be a good idea to do a little blog on what we learnt from Nicky J last week at our private hair lesson! Little Katie had a good attempt (/only really did a funny fish plait) on my hair , so Kate Don stepped in and saved me from what was lookin’ like a walnut whip on my head! I then returned the favour and had a go at the new ‘Ferrero Rocher’ on Katie’s blondie locks. Mine wasn’t much better than hers, but I think I managed to wing it!! After applying some smokes we nipped next door to see the lovely Tanya Maxwell at Thirteen http://www.minniebee.co.uk/ and asked if we could borrow two of her tops to model for the website. Tan picked her two new faves , the leopard print sequin numbers!! I chose the pink (which has been sent out to TOWIE’S Chloe Simms this week!) and Katie went for the darker colours! The tops are absolutely gorgeous and fitted perfectly – we had compliments from a lot of customers calling into the shop at how fab they were. Tanya’s creations are available to buy online for £140, or you can buy them in her quirky boutique which is next door but one to Peaches. Tanya’s clothing line is so unique and from personal experience can say that you feel a million dollars in her creations! At the end of the shoot – we threw in a few real Fererro Rochers for good measure!!

Last week we held a group hair and makeup lesson arranged by local law firm DLA piper which had been organised inhouse as a christmas present for clients and collegues!

We held our first group makeup class last night. Thought I’d be more nervous but there were lots of familiar faces including Miss Toni Grant, although I know I’ll still be getting her famous 2pm texts on a Saturday afternoon for a last minute fit in. They all did great, although Big Mare announced Katie Whinfield ‘the winner’ as we all agreed her efforts were the most similar to the demo.
