If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you might’ve seen me drop a few hints about an exciting project I’ve been working on.
It’s been months in the making and at Saturday’s Pop Fizz Chic event, I revealed what it was.
The response was amazing – there may be have been clapping and cheering involved which may have completely taken me by surprise. But really, it shouldn’t have.
You see the room was full of 50 incredible women.
Yes, they were all there to enjoy an afternoon of fun and fashion while raising money for charity – find a full wrap up of the afternoon here – but they were also there to support and cheer each other on.
So really, I shouldn’t have been surprised by the incredibly supportive and encouraging response I received when I told such a fabulous group of women what I’m about to tell you.
Ok, so you know how I was diagnosed with IIH back in 2015?
No? Well I was diagnosed with it after suffering vision and balance problems. The full story can be found here but long story short, there’s too much CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) inside my head.
The excess fluid was putting pressure on my optic nerves and causing me to lose my sight fairly rapidly.
To stop this from progressing further my neurologist put me on a few different medications and suggested weight loss might also help. So I stopped eating cake and starting swallowing more tablets in a day than I usually do in a week!
Fast forward two years and I’m 25 kilos lighter and my IIH is almost in remission. Hooray for that!
The downside? All of the medication I’ve taken in the last two years has hammered my skin. It was dehydrated and nothing could nourish it.
So, with the help of my husband Scott – who has 17 years experience of developing products for the automotive industry – I decided to make my own!
I gave Scott a brief as to what I required in a face oil – low scent, all natural (no nasties at all thanks very much!) with a high level of hydration and nourishment. Scott then developed the blends and I tested them.
This process took months (I’m VERY picky!) and finally, on the third batch blend, bettyquette was born.
I’ve been using our two products – GET UP AND GLOW® day face oil and SLEEP ON IT® night face oil since we developed it and I’m so excited to be able to bring it to you.
