After one of the craziest years of their lives moving from home-run businesses to a shopfront in Raumati Village, Heather Sleet, of Posybloom Floral Design, and Kayla Wall, of KS Beauty Studio, have decided to celebrate their first birthday with a community give-back.
Moving into Raumati Rd after lockdown last year, both Heather and Kayla were reaching capacity running their small businesses from home.
Joining together, they opened up in the Village and after a rollercoaster 12 months, are celebrating one year.
"There have been patches of time where we've both been quite worried, where I hadn't even covered the bills, or staff wages," Heather said.
"But we would bounce off each other — when one has a low week the other one would be saying it's okay and that would change week to week," Kayla said.
