It was about people. I’ve always been fascinated bythe way healthy skin can transform not only how someone looks, but how they carrythemselves, how they feel when they walk into a room, and the quiet confidence that comeswhen they no longer feel they need to hide behind makeup. After completing my beautytherapy and salon management studies, and continuing with advanced dermal therapystudies, I realised I wanted to create a space where every client feels genuinely seen,heard, and cared for.That’s how Curate Aesthetics was born: a solo-run clinic where treatments are never “onesize fits all,” but instead, carefully curated to reflect each individual’s unique needs, lifestyleand goals.For me, it’s not just about facials and protocols FAVOURITE COLOUR: BEAUTIFUL EARTHY GREENS.

FRIENDSHIP GLOSS NOTETHE ART OF FRIENDSHIP:Making New FriendsMaking new friends as an adult can feel strangely vulnerable. We’re all busy.We’re unsure where to start. And let’s be honest, reaching out can feel awkward.But here’s the truth: you’re not the only one craving deeper connection. So manywomen are quietly hoping someone will go first.Spring invites us to begin again - to open the door, smile first and start theconversation. And while making new friends might seem daunting, it’s also one ofthe most beautiful, life-giving things you can do.5 Ways to Make New Friends This SeasonSay yes to small invitationsThat yoga class, that birthday coffee, that event you almost skipped— go. Show up. Friendship often begin in ordinary moments.Be the one who reaches out. Send the text. Ask her to grab a drink.DM that woman you always admire online. Most people are waitingfor someone to make the first move.Join a group that meets regularlyWhether it’s book club, Pilates, church, or a local creative group.Consistency creates connection and Seeing the same faces buildscomfort and trust.Let people in a little sooner. You don’t have to share everything, butvulnerability invites intimacy. Be real. Be warm. People are drawn toauthenticity, not perfection.Be patient, but intentionalGood friendships grow over time — not overnight. Keep watering theseed. One conversation today could be a deep friendship a yearfrom now.Final Thought: - be brave and smile!Making friends doesn’t mean waiting for the ‘perfect’ person — it means beingopen, curious and kind. The right people will feel like sunshine. You just have tobe willing to look up.

Take What You Need — The Style Edit, Spring 2025
Bloom -Blooming isn’t just about flowers,it’s about you. Stepping into yourlight, trying new things, andallowing yourself to be radiantwithout apology.DEFINITION:TO FLOURISH, GROW, OR THRIVE IN BEAUTY,HEALTH, OR EXCELLENCE.THE STATE OF BECOMING RADIANT, FRESH, ANDALIVE.A MOMENT OF NEWNESS, WHEN SOMETHINGHIDDEN REVEALS ITS TRUE FORM.🌷 “BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED.”— MARY ENGELBREIT🌿 “A FLOWER DOES NOT THINK OFCOMPETING WITH THE FLOWER NEXTTO IT. IT JUST BLOOMS.”— ZEN SHIN🌸 “EVERY FLOWER BLOOMS IN ITS OWN TIME.”☀ “BLOOM AS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE— KEN PETTITHE WHOLE WORLD BEAUTIFUL.”— DEBASISH MRIDHATake what you needBlooming as BecomingTo bloom is to allow yourself to unfold without rushing the process. Flowersdo not question whether they are ready, they simply rise to meet the sunwhen the time is right. In the same way, blooming in life is about trustingyour own rhythm — not comparing your season to anyone else’s.Blooming as CourageThere is vulnerability in blooming. To step into the light is to risk being seen,and yet, it is in being seen that your beauty and strength are revealed.Blooming requires courage — to show up imperfect, to try again, and to allowyourself to be radiant without apology.Blooming as RenewalSpring reminds us that blooming is not a one-time event. Even after theharshest winters, blossoms return. Renewal is always possible, no matter howmany times life asks us to begin again. Each bloom is proof that endings areonly ever preludes to beginnings.Blooming as JoyA bloom is joy made visible. Colour bursting through grey, fragrance spillinginto the air, softness where once there was only stillness. When we bloom inour own lives — through laughter, creativity, love, or simply daring to dreamagain — we remind ourselves and others that joy is worth cultivating.

The Final Touch — The Style Edit, Spring 2025
THE FINAL TOUCHFrom ElizabethAs we close this Spring issue, I want you to pause for a moment and breathe in theseason. The world is blooming, but so are you. I see you, not just the version of youthat gets things done, that shows up for everyone else, but the real youunderneath it all. The one who longs for sunlight on her face, laughter that feelsfree, and confidence that flows from the inside out.This season inside The Gloss we’ve explored colours that awaken, fashion thatdares, beauty that glows, friendships that deepen, and stories of women whoselives inspire. Each page is a reminder that spring is not just a backdrop — it’s aninvitation. An invitation to try new things, to embrace lightness, to find joy in littledetails like fresh polish on your toes, a hat that frames your face perfectly, oreven the courage to send that first text to make a new friend.This magazine is never just about fashion, beauty, or interiors. It’s about youremembering your own magic. It’s about knowing you are powerful, loved, andworthy of living fully, not someday but today. Whether you try something new, wearthe bold colour, take that trip, or simply give yourself permission to rest, you aregrowing. That’s what makes this season so extraordinary.So here’s my encouragement: lean into joy, bloom without apology, and know that Iam cheering for you every step. We are walking this journey together. We arewomen who choose to rise, women who dare to shine, and I believe with all myheart that you are radiant.🌸 With love,#youarebeautifulElizabeth & The Gloss Team
