Thought I’d rock a face mask this week as they seem all the rage recently. Well that and my job often requires that I do. I think it looks a bit like a beak, but there you go. What a fetching get up! Apologies for no cleaning instalment this week, it’s been quite a stressful... Continue Reading →
A huge misconception around mortuary work is that we do makeup and embalming. Some mortuary technicians do but they work at funeral directors or independently and it’s a lot more complicated than it sounds. I would love to learn how to do these things but they are very different to my day to day activities.... Continue Reading →
