EDITOR’S NOTE.

As we wrap up 2024, it’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of another incredible year. This issue of Beauty Biz Magazine is a special one—not just because it’s our last for the year, but because it marks the end of an era. From 2025, we will be rebranded as Mocha Beauty, a new chapter that reflects the evolution of the Mocha Group and our continued dedication to the beauty industry.

This rebrand is more than a new name—it’s a fresh opportunity to bring even greater focus, energy, and value to you, our readers. Through Mocha Beauty, we’ll continue to showcase the incredible talent, innovations, and stories that make our industry so dynamic and inspiring.

Looking back, 2024 has been a year filled with milestones and achievements. The ABIA 2024 Beauty Squad winners were announced, and in January, they will gather for the Beauty Squad House, an extraordinary opportunity for these rising stars to connect, learn, and grow alongside industry mentors. It’s initiatives like these that remind us why we love what we do: celebrating the passion and drive that define our community.

This issue also highlights some of the incredible people and businesses that are shaping the future of the beauty industry. From innovative products and cutting-edge treatments to inspiring stories of resilience and success, we’ve packed this edition with everything you need to wrap up the year feeling informed, inspired, and empowered. Each story is a testament to the talent and determination that drives this industry forward.

As we embrace the festive period, I encourage you to take a moment to pause and reflect. This is a time for recharging your batteries and reconnecting with the people and moments that matter most.

Whether you’re planning some much-needed downtime, prioritising self-care, or dreaming big for 2025, take the time to truly enjoy what’s most meaningful to you.

Remember, as we head into a new year, that what you’re not changing, you are choosing. It’s the perfect opportunity to reassess what’s working, what isn’t, and what you truly want to carry with you into 2025. Be intentional, map out your goals, and focus on building the life and business you desire.

When January arrives, let’s step into it with purpose. A new year brings new opportunities, and as the saying goes, where focus goes, energy flows. Make time for what matters most—your health, your loved ones, and your growth.

On behalf of the entire team, thank you for being part of our Beauty Biz journey. It has been an honour to share your stories and celebrate your achievements. We are thrilled to continue this exciting journey with you as Mocha Beauty in 2025.

Here’s to closing the year with gratitude and taking the time to rest, reset, and recharge for all that’s ahead.

With love and hugs,
