On the 5th day of Christmas your true love gave to you, one beaut-iiii-ciiiaaaan. (brb while Alice is off cackling at her own joke). In this episode we had the pleasure of chatting to Jessica Bedford, owner of JB Beauty Therapy in Cleckheaton. Jess has been growing her business for 10 years, starting off working evenings after her 9-5. She's just an all round lovely soul and we had a great time hearing her story.

Jess is fully booked for December but does sell gift vouchers!
