She says “Now…… not conforming to the expected 5’7” fitting into a size 12 dress I was delighted at the difference 3 hours made in learning how to camouflage my flaws and show off my best bits! Within a short space of time I realised the difference liking what I saw in the mirror each day was making to my quality of life. I drove everybody nuts rambling on about how easy it was to make changes to the way people thought of you and ultimately treated you.!
