Maxine's June Round Up: Makeup Tips, Absoluter Meet Ups and Boat Races!

Instagram Live with Ruby Hammer!

This month I was lucky enough to join THE Ruby Hammer in her home for an Instagram Live. I was even more lucky that she did my makeup all whilst discussing beauty, makeup and more. This was a real pinch me moment, I’ve always looked up to Ruby and I love what she stands for. The fact I'm sitting here reflecting on our time together is just amazing, something I will never forget. For anyone that knows me, knows I really struggle with lipsticks.. I love a shade on someone else but on me it doesn’t look the same! I think I’ve tried hundreds of different lip shades and never got it right! I mentioned this to Ruby on our live and as soon as she worked her magic I honestly looked in the mirror and felt such a rush of happiness. She may have fixed my lipstick nightmare! Now this may seem like such a little thing, but I looked in that mirror and I felt like me, Maxine. I walked out of that room feeling a million dollars, and something so simple as finding the right shade for me (when nothing ever seems to work) made me feel like the absolute strongest version of myself.💛If you wanted to watch the live click here!

The Dragon Boat Race

As you all know, the Birmingham Children’s Hospital is something really important to me and the team at Absolute Collagen. The team loves to get involved in fundraising anytime they can and the perfect opportunity to get involved fell in our laps, the dragon boat race. 🐉 So, the AC team joined forces once again, paddled their hearts out, navigating the canal waters of Birmingham and raced till the end. They rowed all whilst doing it in the funniest outfits! I wonder why they chose to row in big banana suits, how funny! 😂They had a fantastic time, even though it was cold, wet and hard at times but they pulled through as a team, embracing this new adventure and I am just so proud of each and every one of them. Well done everyone! 💪🏻

Absoluter Meet-Ups

Absolute Collagen is all about YOU, the Absoluter. And our journey simply wouldn’t be the same without each one of you. That’s why it's really important to me that we bring you along for the ride as much as we can. So, we invited a bunch of you to the Absolute Collagen HQ to sit down, chat and lunch together! There is nothing I love more than sitting face-to-face, hearing about your Absolute Collagen journeys. It is so inspiring to hear. It fills me with so much joy and confidence and shows me that we are doing something right here. I am often told that I’m an inspiration to our Absoluters, but it is all of you who inspire me every day. So I thank you, because without you Absolute Collagen would not be the same. ✨
