VancouverMom.ca Makeover: Tina Bacon Shares Her Reflections

In November we ran the VancouverMom.ca Makeover contest, and chose winner Tina Bacon. Tina is a 40-year-old wife, mom and owner of the small business The Pink Spatula. She also had breast cancer in 2006/2007 while pregnant with her third child. Thanks to amazing support from friends and family she made it through, and now has just a few months of medication left. We loved Tina’s amazing and optimistic spirit, and we were excited to offer her this makeover.

The Makeover Unveiling

Thanks to sponsors Fine Finds Boutique, Dee Kane of LURE Salon, Luxe Beauty Lounge, Mika Makeup, Tamarind Consulting and Yummy Mummy Makeovers and Georgia Esporlas Photography, Tina had a complete makeover inside and out.

Before and After

Tina Shares her Reflections

Here’s what Tina had to say about the experience:

Winning the Vancouver Mom Makeover Giveaway came at a time when I was ready and willing to make changes and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I began by meeting with Sigrid from Tamarind Consulting. I learned about what energizes me, how I take in information and how I make decisions. Next I had my initial consultation with Joyce from Yummy Mummy Makeovers. She spent hours with me and every minute was worth it. When determining what styles were suitable for me she also took into account my personality, an interesting approach that I hadn’t considered before.

Luxe Beauty Lounge was my next stop. It’s a super cute boutique spa in Yaletown that would be perfect to go to with a couple girlfriends. My technician and the pedicure were both lovely and I left with smooth heels and beautiful red toes. From there I raced in disposable flip flops to see Dee at LURE Salon. Such a nice lady and what a beautiful salon. This was a consultation so she could talk to me about what she envisioned.

Shopping day with Joyce at Yummy Mummy Makeovers…YAY! She went shopping ahead of me and had clothes already picked out ready to try on. Amazing! We ended up with ten different items of clothing for $200, which mix and match to create 16 different looks. She even made me a chart so I don’t have to guess. My big purchase of the day was black dress boots. We totally scored at Fine Finds. They gifted me with a $100 gift certificate and all their purses and wallets were on for 50% off. Instead of just a nice handbag, I was also able to get a wallet and some fun earrings.

I have shades of red and dark violet that blend together for this beautiful look. I love it! Karin from Mika Makeup came right to the salon and set up so she could do my make-up while my hair was being done. She gave me a beautiful, dressy look that felt natural. Joyce came to help me dress and make sure I had the right outfits and accessories on. Then it was time for my photo shoot with Georgia from Georgia Esporlas Photography. Georgia took the photos right on Howe Street in downtown Vancouver. She was great at helping me focus and not be distracted by the people and cars rushing by. Dee and Joyce stayed close by making sure my hair and clothes were just so.

I’m very thankful to have had this experience. I feel super confident meeting with new clients and other small business owners, knowing that I look professional. My husband loves my new look too! Thank you so much ladies for giving me a fabulous start to this year of celebrations!

Of course, Tina was always beautiful, but we really do love her new look. More importantly, we’re glad that she loves it. Thank you so much to all of the sponsors who worked with her. And thank you so much to Tina herself, for sharing this experience with us.
