Entrepreneur, modern mum, food lover and former 'bikkie baker' (Luken & May), Cindy is creating her next business (think beauty & food) to meet her personal needs. She very bravely and honestly is sharing the startup biz experience online... why?
"The way we do business has dramatically changed in the last few years - so much so it enables us to 'live the sweet life.' I want to shortcut for many woman ways to find info, to inspire and let them know there are others facing similar struggles in the family-life-work plate juggle. In being real and true to yourself you connect with like-minded people, get true reciprocity and a (I hope) a beautiful brand loved by many."
Cindy has an Honorary M.S., over 20 awards including 19th & 29th spot in BRW's Fast 100 and is inducted into the ABN Hall of Fame.
About luk beautifood
Luk beautifood is Cindy's new adventure. As she explains on her website:
Good food is nature's beauty recipe:
Whole nuts, seeds, grains, fruits and vegetables contain an
intrinsic and synergistic mix of essential macro and micro nutrients,
including antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phytonutrients which are vital for optimum health and beauty.
luk beautifood - skin delicious makeup was created from the passion and courage of those dreams and knowledge.
Cindy has taken this magic ingredient, food, and created a small range of lipsticks from the good foods that we should be eating!
Not only does her range provide the lips with a daily dose of essential nutrients to nourish, hydrate and illuminate,
but customers can feel good knowing that they are supporting the body's natural processes to deliver beautiful results!
