Chapter 6 & 7 ??

Well haven't I got a lottttttt to catch you up on...

I felt so meh for the most part of June, I really was not in the right place for posting content, I knew something had to change and I had to get to the root cause of why I was feeling this way. I stripped back everythinggggggg, just did the bare minimum and wasn't looking to grow my businesses or take on new challenges (minus my core events). You'll be pleased to know, I'm now feeling good after making some pretty big decisions and I've definitely got my mojo back.

So a quick round-up of June...

• New tattoos!
• A very important baby shower to celebrate a gorgeous girls arrival.
• A wonderful holiday in Spain with some family.
• Lots of time looking after my niece Callie.
• Coffees by the sea ?.
• The launch of join the collective. which I have decided to move on from and not pursue further at this stage.

So let's talk about July, first up, what's been going on for Tipsy Canvas Co. - three brilliant events... a bridal shower at Neo Bournemouth, a bookable event at Ten Bottles Wimborne and my first collaboration with Arena Offices at their flagship in Basingstoke.

Now, I cannot wait to tell you all about London. If you thought I'd already posted enough about it, sorry to keep going on ?? I just had the best time. Ben came up with me on the Sunday so we could watch the Euros final, the vibes were just immaculate across the city. Even though we didn't get the result we'd hoped there was no violence or aggression in the pub we were in, which was a welcome break from what I'd expected!!

On the Monday morning, we woke up together and went to grab a coffee from Blank Street. I had to try it just because I'm SO easily influenced, I wasn't that impressed, my order is always a Vanilla Iced Oat Latte and it was just nowhere near as good as Gail's. I'm really missing my daily Gail's dose, something about the Agave instead of the Vanilla ??.

So yeah anyway, I spent the week in London, met the most awesome friends and the course was great. We took such a deep dive into the world of brand and crammed so much in for a weeks course. Central Saint Martins, University of The Arts London was super inspiring and I think without that trip, I wouldn't have my mojo back. I've since applied for a BA (EEEEEEK!!!) in Communication & Media so let's see if Bournemouth Uni will have me ??

We also celebrated a cracking year with You Are The Media Summer Party, the cowgirl boots came out for their first spin... and I completely failed to bring anything to the table as part of the summer quiz, apart from knowing where Mungo Jerry lived ?? (full of useless information). Mark Masters , I can't wait to get back to Lunch Club in September, I'm taking the mic on the panel... if you haven't got your ticket yet, you can do this here - https://www.youarethemedia.co.uk/lunchclub/the-first-in-person-event-back/

July has also been a cracking month for food, I literally haven't done a food shop ?? Martin Lewis would be arresting me at this point, I have not been a money saving expert. The summer is just sucking me in!!!

I'm going to wrap this up here, but I'd love it if you could head over and subscribe to my YouTube channel https://youtube.com/@meganaustwick?si=O00VNPq3gU_duDFh as I've been meaning to kick this off for a long while, years in fact. I'll be posting my first video soon and in a just under two weeks I'm off to Italy to scope out retreats for next year so I'll be sharing that.

Stay tuned, an exciting month ahead...

Happy August all, enjoy the sunshine ??
