She said: “Business is really good. Lockdown was a really big time and things went a bit crazy. I’ve always wanted to be my own boss and it’s a proud feeling knowing people are enjoying something you’re doing.
"A lot of people really like the personal touch of a local business and support for it is really growing.
“I use motivational slogans to live my life by and saw a gap in the market to launch my business and become my own boss.”
