How I started in fashion is quite weird to me as I have never been interested in the fashion industry. I’ve always been scared to try new things but one day I decided to give it a go and put my own design on tshirt, which I tried on my girls. Seraphic in gold writing on a black t shirt and it was at that point all the visions of what I could do next came to mind.
Seraphic Fashion is a fairly new brand. I’m going to say that even though, I had the idea from 2020 it’s only the last year I’ve started to pick my confidence up to do something about it. The brand will produce clothing including buying and printing and handmade by me for men, women and children. I am starting off with loungewear/gymwear. The everyday comfy clothing at the moment.
I am influenced by Hoodrich, gymshark, Jheez, these are brands that have started out like me with an idea and have made their brand successful and their dreams come true. I hope to get in a similar position.
Honestly, it’s only the name that is different. As time goes on I will be looking to develop my own USP.
Trying to balance everything is really hard as I have three kids and also have to work full time at another job, but I am trying to work on improving my organisation skills, time management and fashion is my passion.
I’m trying to be consistent as much as I can. I’m trying to be more forward and put myself and my brand out there which is why I am doing Liverpool Fashion Week
The biggest challenge for me so far is keeping the confidence to try new things.
Liverpool Fashion Week last year and Cyprus Fashion Show last month was amazing, to actually to see my brand in reality just shows hard work does pay off and I am looking forward to doing more fashion shows.
The next thing for Seraphic Fashion is attending more fashion shows, getting the clothes out there now actually turning into a brand that customers want to wear.

Participating in Liverpool Fashion Week was an incredible experience that truly elevated my journey as a designer. It provided me with a platform to showcase my unique designs to a diverse audience, allowing me to connect with fashion enthusiasts, industry professionals, and potential collaborators.
Being part of such a prestigious event exposed me to the broader fashion world and opened doors to even greater opportunities. Through Liverpool Fashion Week, I gained visibility and recognition that led to invitations to showcase my work across the UK and solidified my presence in the fashion industry.
The experience challenged me creatively and professionally, allowing me to refine my craft while networking with top brands and designers. It was a pivotal moment in my career, inspiring me to continue pushing boundaries and sharing my vision on larger platforms.” - Mary Egboye, Emaz Artistry
Let’s get one thing straight: being single doesn’t mean you’ve got a checklist longer than a Tesco receipt or that you’re waiting for Mr. Darcy to stride out of a lake, shirt dripping. The “picky” label gets thrown at women like confetti at a wedding, but it’s a lazy myth. The real story? Sometimes, it’s not about standards; it’s about the quiet ways we trip ourselves up. Selfsabotage is the uninvited guest at the party, and it’s time we clocked its game.
Take the classic “I’m fine on my own” mantra. Independence is brilliant; until it’s a fortress. You’ve built walls so high that even a knight in shining armour would need a crane to get over them. It’s not picky to enjoy your own company; i t’s sabotage when you’ve convinced yourself no one could possibly fit into your perfectly curated life. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Plenty of us have turned self-reliance into a shield, dodging vulnerability l ike it’s a tax bill.
Then there’s the ghost of relationships past. You tell yourself you’re over it, but every time a decent bloke texts back, you’re braced for the crash. You might not even notice you’re doing it; pushing him away before he can disappoint you. It’s not that you’re fussy; it’s that you’re still hauling yesterday’s baggage, expecting it to unpack itself. Spoiler: it won’t.
And don’t get me started on the “I’ll sort myself out first” trap. You’re waiting to lose five pounds, land that promotion, or finally organise your spice rack before you’re “ready” for love.
Here’s the kicker: there’s no finish line. Life’s a messy, glorious shambles, and waiting for perfection is just procrastination in a fancy dress. So, if you’re single and wondering why, ditch the picky myth.Spot where you’re holding yourself back. Maybe you’re scared to be seen, or maybe you’re addicted to the chase but not the catch. Whatever it is, it’s not a flaw; it’s a pattern. And patterns? They can change.

Beyond fair wages, organic cotton, and transparency, they wanted to create a community that cares.

Aries ( 21 March – 19 April ) - Your magnetism revolves around mysterious fascination rather than outgoing charm. Intensity appeals in your relationships. This can also be a time in which you discover untapped resources or talents. It is a good time to work out money problems or other issues of sharing with a partner.
Taurus ( 20 April – 20 May - You’re feeling brave, independent, and eager to begin new projects. There is much initiative now, with personal involvement in new ventures or undertakings. You are striving for independence and freedom of movement in everyday affairs.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June) - You may enjoy key opportunity periods that boost your self-confidence, and do wonders for your ego and your relationships, particularly if your relationships or your own confidence in the way you present yourself to others is in need of healing. New financial initiatives are best avoided however.
Leo ( 23 July – 22 August ) - This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Virgo (23 Aug – 22 Sep) -You have presence and you project confidence. You are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. A renewed feeling of confidence is with you now.
Libra (23 Sep– 22 Oct) - Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and selfexpression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships may become more prominent in your life now.
Sagittarius (22 Nov -21 Dec) - It's time to do something selfexpressive, fun, and creative. You could feel an overwhelming need to pour your heart out to a lover, or a romantic affair reaches some sort of epiphany. There could be a whirlwind of activity surrounding your child or children
Capricorn (22 Dec – 19 Jan)Your focus is on making contacts and reaching out to others in both social and professional sense It's a time to turn inner restlessness into fruitful contact with others. The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded and hearted people.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July) - This is a time when you let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasureseeking activities, come to the fore now. You are likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness.
Scorpio (23 Oct –21 Nov)Enthusiasm and confidence are with you now, and it's easy to tap into your more unique qualities and talents in order to go after what we want. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself.
Aquarius (20 Jan – 18 Feb) - This month, your focus is on balancing time between your career and your social agenda. You might draw upon your executive ability now It’s a busy month for business and work; at the same time, socializing and romance also figure prominently.
Pisces (19 Feb – 20 March) - This is time to plant a creative seed--you are inspired with a new project or plan This is a strong time for romance Negotiations run smoothly, charm works, and a positive connection can be made with a person of a markedly different background than you

I'M NOT HERE FOR A POPULARITY CONTEST
I’m back in Liverpool for the weekend, and already the familiar frustrations of the local business scene are bubbling up. Yesterday, I received a message that perfectly sums up what I’m dealing with:
“Hi Amanda, I am not in PR anymore but I am glad I am not so I don’t have to deal with you.”
My response? "You’re not missed." Sharp, with an underlying tone of fuck you, did I ask?
That kind of clicky, toxic behaviour is exactly why I’m not here for popularity contests or being part of some exclusive business “club.” I’m not here to win friends or be liked by everyone. I’m here to do my job with integrity, deliver results, and build genuine relationships based on respect. And honestly? I genuinely don’t give a shit if you like me. I like me. My kids love me. I'm good at what I do. That’s all that matters.
If you’ve ever been part of a tight-knit corporate community, you’ll know what I mean. There are always groups playing favouritism that feels more like high school politics, and drama that wastes everyone’s time. It’s exhausting, unprofessional, and a massive distraction from what really matters. I’ve dealt with companies that invite every other magazine to an event except me which is funny really, since I’m the only publication still standing after 17 years, with a robust following and my reputation intact.
I’m known for no-nonsense; I don’t blow smoke up anyone’s ass and I speak my mind which frankly, gets results. When business becomes about who you know, we lose sight of the bigger picture. Innovation stalls, opportunities get missed, and talented people are sidelined because they don’t fit the model group. For those of us who simply want to work hard and be respected for what we do, it’s frustrating and demoralising. I believe business should be about authenticity, collaboration, and mutual respect. It’s about bringing value, building partnerships, and helping each other grow, not tearing people down or playing popularity games. I really thought this was over.
Despite the noise and drama, I’m committed to staying focused on my values. I choose my connections carefully, keep my standards high, and don’t waste time on negativity. Because at the end of the day, reputation is earned by what you do, not who you rub shoulders with.
I have found my tribe, I keep my head down, and keep delivering my best. Popularity fades, but respect and results last.
And as for Liverpool? I’m outta here tomorrow. I'll be working from the beach in my bikini. This is exactly why I moved to Cyprus. Where there’s freedom, where people are happier, and where life feels less weighed down by petty politics. People's hate make me shine brighter. On Amazon
