Mistress Chrissy

Every girl deserves to look and feel confident and glamorous, regardless of age, shape or dress size. Yet in this modern era of poorly tailored, throw-away fashion and fickle hair and make-up trends, women are finding it harder than ever to hit upon a look that complements, rather than conceals their inherent beauty.

Testimonials

I have attended several Adelaide events with Miss Chrissy. She is unfailingly cheerful, beautiful, and encouraging. We live in a society where the desire to be beautiful equals looking a certain way deemed appropriate by the external culture. This comparison inevitably leads to a feeling of lowered self-worth if you fail to measure up. Miss Chrissy, although running make-overs, manages to buck this trend. She speaks with love and passion about real women who, with a minimum of fuss, “make do and mend” and in the process shine with true beauty. Her lessons go far beyond make-up and hair styling tips and I think that we could all do with a little of her passion and style.

I have so many containers of mousse, volumisers, and preblowdry mists and this one product will reapplied them easily. I can get the volume I want for my super fine hair and the with the technique I learnt in the workshop and the online videos I feel confident I can achieve the looks I’m after. Thank you for ensuring such a simple and inspiring product lives on.

I attended the fashion parade in Adelaide in November 2015 at the Craft & Quilt Fair in Adelaide. At the end of it, I asked you about the corset that you talked about during the show, and if you felt it would assist with sever back pain, which I suffer. You stated that you weren’t aware of any specific benefit, but it would assist with posture. I decided to give it a go, and purchased a white one. I was amazed at the difference in pain level that I suffer, and consequently have invested in 2 more. They are much lighter and more comfortable in our stifling summers, than traditional back braces. I am so glad that I decided to sit down and watch your show for 30 minutes, and I hope you may in future be able to answer ladies questions with the benefit of my story. Thank you!

Posted @withregram • @blisssilk When we first started making our silk turbans 5 years ago, our focus was on hair care, particularly for curly hair. It wasn’t long before I started getting messages from women with no hair at all wanting to purchase the smaller sizes… and my heart broke. The harsh reality of living with cancer and alopecia really hit home, and since then we’ve refined the design to ensure a comfortable fit for women with and without a full head of hair.We are so happy to have been able to give back a little by donating 10 of our turbans to an amazing local charity – Beauties Feeling Fabulous. It was started by the incredible Chrissy Keepence to honour the passing of her sister and mother to cancer. Chrissy and her family carry the BRCA2 gene and have had their fair share of loss. Her family’s story has been featured on 60 Minutes (The Neave Sister’s story) and her extended family have tirelessly raised funds for cancer research.Chrissy started Beauties Feeling Fabulous to give women living with cancer a day of pampering, from make-up and hair makeovers, to massages and a host of other activities depending on volunteers and donations for the day. She runs these sessions 6 times a year, catering for up to 30 women at a time, all for free. If you’re interested in donating to this amazing charity, reach out to Chrissy at @Lindycharmschool.#cancercouncil #cancercouncilqld #ovariancanceroz #bcnapinklady #rethinkbreastcancer #pinkribbonnz #bowelcanceraustralia #pinkribbonday #pinkribbonfoundation #pinkribboncupraceday #mcgrathfoundation #cancersurvivors #weare.survivors #silkturban

Posted @withregram • @mrsmccarthy1 Had the honour of popping on this apron today for #beautiesfeelingfabulous with @lindycharmschool. If you are not aware of it, Chrissy and her team of wonderful ladies put together a free pamper day for women living with cancer, anything from make overs, hairdresser, massages to floral therapy and goodie bags. But its more than that. Its a place for shared experiences, for connection, for a hug, a laugh, a cry, for support and for friendship for women going through such hard times. If you are looking for somewhere new to donate to, or donate your services to, then this is a wonderful place to support! I get to watch the ladies light up after a make over or listen to what ever they need to chat about while hand massaging and wearing the apron I take as a privilege. Jump on Chrissy’s page and read more about it, and everything else BFF do 💖

@keiuneoI am so very proud of our family charity. Keeping the memory and the legacy of our Mum and our sister going and doing what Mum always instilled in us to do.. To reach out, use your talents and make a difference..Knowing first hand when you are going through treatment, its bloody expxensive and taxing on time and body and energies so, as women, what do we do?.. We soldier and keep working, looking after family and being that Mum, Friend, Partner, Lover, Employee and everything else but the one thing we dont usually do when going through treatment is , pay for massage, hair cuts, manicures, makeovers and self care and love stuff that is super important for our minds, body and souls. This is the essence of BFF.. to offer a safe space and give some much needed pampering for FREE.The other part of what we do is give Ponchos away to women going through treatment or surgeries.Cancer does not discriminate and nor do we, we are open to welcoming anyone no matter what cancer you have. Breast Cancer took my Mum, Ovarian Cancer took my Sister and Bowel cancer tried to take me...For me.. the best part of these days is there wealth of ground roots knowledge, love, support and the pure organicness of the day that fills my cup. Sure.. the stories are sad, downright hard to hear sometimes and yes we lose beautiful souls along the way, this is really hard but the flip side is the gift of the joy we are able to give, even if just for a few hours. @ryanbldiv7

Ziggi.. MUAH @lindycharmschool PC @amanda_peppermintphotography .Damn the bullies, bugger off the haters.. this chic will shine no matter what as she has a good heart, a voice like an angel and of course she is of Neave Stock!!! Yup, our genes (the good ones) run through her and our Mum (her grandma) and her auntie Elisha would be proud!!Life’s tough at any age but in that moment of finding the skin In which you feel most comfortable and that moment when you can face the bullies and the naysayers and the moment in which you can appreciate the beauty and strength and character that is you.. that’s a moment to cherish!Ziggi, we cherish you!

Swipe for makeover:when you do a makeover in our studio, in the process you are learning the style and techniques that work for your face and hair so consider it a bonus that she get the learnings and the experience.
