This is a strange one:
I have been very fortunate over the years as a make up artist to travel the world and visit all sorts of places I would probably never had the chance to go if it wasn't for the diversity of my profession. I have done a shoot at the Stock Exchange, at a Jeans factory in Glasgow, a fashion show in a theatre in Warsaw Poland, up mountains, on beaches and worked in China and Australia and much more besides.
The last 2 years I have been training and working as a nutrition and weight management coach and building a portfolio of skills to bring a holistic approach to diet health and wellbeing. I have been working with a company providing healthy eating advice for their health awareness days along with many other health professionals. The company have decided to take the awareness days to their employees off shore and you've guest it that includes me. So this has to be the most diverse place yet.
However to do this you have to undergo a rigorous safety training and me being a bit of a girly girl have been completely terrified. I can now breath as I have completed the training and am as you probably guess still alive.
I have been submerged in this simulated helicopter (as in picture) 6 times flipped upside down and escaped from the window -yes really. I have re-breathed my own air vigorously,
I have huddled and jumped into life rafts with 15 burly men ,I was the only women. I was winched up, I put out fires - I now know what different fire extinguishers do, and can you believe went in to a smoke filled building blacked out so couldn't see a thing. I Also underwent 2 days of Health and safety in the classroom. So I am now well and truly ready to land on that rig - bring it on...Infact I was suppose to go out on the rig today, but they have postponed till October, when the weather will change the wind will blow and my terror will be right back where it started.
