Editor’sEditor’s Note

What a Year!

Well what a year 2020 has turned out to be. An emotional roller coaster filled with dizzying highs, and earth-shattering lows for us all.

I hope that no matter where you are, you’re able to take a moment, during this time, to pause and reflect on the wild ride that this year turned out to be.

Please take time to be kind to yourself. To breath in all that 2020 has been. To honour the journey you have been through this year. No matter what that looks like. And to find some kind of peace with it all to be able to move forward into the New Year.

A New Year always brings with it a renewed sense of excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead.

In this issue we pay homage to all of the incredible individuals and business who bravely partook in the 2020 ABIA’s. To put yourself forward in the midst of a Global Pandemic is no half-hearted feat. This year’s ABIA’s took on a new virtual spin as our industry came together online to celebrate. The live and support flowing through the live stream as each award was read out was truly heartwarming and gave me a strong sense of pride in our industry. That even though we were all so far apart, it felt like we were in the same room, congratulating each of the entrants. A massive congratulations to each and every winner in this year’s ABIA’s you should be so proud of all you have achieved this year. See our specials ABIA feature inside.

A special shout out goes to our 2020 Beauty Squad team who, whilst we have announced their victory, have not had a chance to celebrate together in the Beauty Squad House. We cannot wait to bring you all together in the New Year and truly celebrate your victory together.

The ABIA’s are back in 2021 with nominations opening on the 1st February. I’m looking forward to seeing so many of you in person for an extra special ABIA celebration in Sydney in 2021 as the awards returns to it’s home at The Star (god willing).

Beauty Squad will also return in 2021 with entries also opening on the 1st February. This issue I’ve curated some incredible contributors for you, to help equip you with the tools and strategies you need to launch into 2022 with a BANG!

Gay Wardle shares 7 habits of Successful Clinics, Robyn McAlpine teaches us how to stay agile as Therapists in an ever changing industry, Rebecca Miller teaches us how to effectively mix our cosmeceutical formulations for maximum benefits, and we introduce you to Terri Vinson’s new book and the incredible wisdom she has to share with our industry.... just to name a few.

I wish you all a happy, super busy and wildly profitable Christmas New Year period. I hope you get to take some time to stop, relax, celebrate and be with your family wherever they are in the country during this time.

Thank you for continuing to support me, Beauty Biz, the ABIA’s and Beauty Squad. Have a safe and happy break.

Sending you all Christmas wishes and so much love during this time.
