“What Goes Around Comes Around”
By Natalee Farrugia
Hi Philadelphia,
I would love to share a story with you about a Little girls birthday Party. Renee was so excited when I arrived all dressed up in my Fairy outfit that I was greeted with a huge hug!
Renee was very excited and was expecting over 20 of her preschool friends due to arrive at 11.00am. At 12.30pm only 3 had arrived… poor little thing was so disappointed needless to say the parents were a not happy either.
They asked me to leave as there was no one else to paint… I offered to stay and play games and jump on the jumping castle with her and her 3 little guests… and only charged her for half an hour of my time.
The parents were so grateful and the little girl said I was her best friend and it was her best party eva!!…. talk about a warm fuzzy feeling!!
It did not matter about the money it was the happiness I bought to a little girl and her family that was priceless…
It turned out in the months following that Renee’s mum spread the word and Nat’s fancy faces booked 4 parties… What goes around comes around!!
Natalee

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to say that I found Natalee’s to be a wonderful, selfish gesture, but also a great marketing move… eheheheh. I also had a mum calling, some time ago, because her kid needed a kitten face painting for her school play. It was only one girl, but she was so happy at the end of the painting that it made my day. I’m from Portugal and it is not easy to find face painting gigs here… But I keep on trying.
HappyFace Painting everyone!
