Leaving pawprints on my heart

by Samantha Mattocksupdated on October 6, 2021March 25, 2021 Leave a Comment on Leaving pawprints on my heart

So many people lucky enough to be truly owned by a pet often feel bereft at the passing of their beloved four-legged family member. There is no funeral, there is no eulogy, there is no order of service, But the life that they lived with their pet was just as important, just as valid, if …

  • A huge thank you to @paris1983_ for such an amazing makeover today @jarroldbeautyhall @jarroldnorwich 

I have never done 'the red lip' but Paris assured me it would work - and he was right! I learned loads of new techniques during my session, as well as being introduced to products I possibly should already be familiar with! 

Thank you Paris for making me be bold in my colours. Ladies, he is brilliant - I heartedly suggest you book a makeover with him, especially as we go into summer days.
  • Happy May Day everyone! I am loving all the blossoms and colours everywhere right now, and the garden is alive with nature. This is my favourite time of year; when is yours?
  • When chocolate meets flowers... Time out this morning @the_yard_coffee for a catch up and pick me up.
  • I am excited to share my new logo with you! 

There is a theme running through all of my logos - the colours; the red and gold are the colours of @thearabianmagazine which I founded in 2004.

The quill was first seen in my revised logo for @thedelicatediner where I wanted to convey that I also wrote about food and the people within the industry as well as sharing recipes and reviews. 

I love this logo, and to see it go from concept to reality, has been great
fun. I hope you like it, too!
  • *Publishing anniversary!*

Two years today since I first published Sandstorm. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would receive such a positive reaction from around the world, or that so many of you would fall in love with the characters in the same way that I did writing them.

Thank you to all who have purchased Sandstorm and enjoyed it - you are all a part of its story now 🧡
  • Beautiful skies this morning - summer is just around the corner. I love the first fingers of sunrise giving the moon a blush glow.
  • At the blue bar in the Novotel Dubai - scene of some of the action within Sandstorm, including an iconic scene with Sienna and one other. It was great to be back - no spoilers here!
