Hey There!
2006
It all started
ski racing
Aged 3
Racing down those slopes on my 'diddy' skis, dodging the trees in and out of the powder, downing endless cream-laden mugs of hot chocolate before finally hitting my pillow at the end of each day with dreams of becoming a ski champion.
SectionFrom there I grew up between the UK and the mountains on an uphill rollercoaster all the way to the downhill. Spending many hours riding chairlifts and training in the cold, I knew the importance of staying warm.
I've tried many neck warmers, snoods, buffs, scarfs (or whatever you want to call them ...) but none cut the mustard. The velcro backed ones got constantly stuck in my hair and the tube ones were a pain to take off with a helmet on PLUS I needed something warm and stylish to wear on and off the slopes.
et Voila!
This is how the first limited edition sparkly neck warmers were born. It was going to be a product to share with others. They had to be warm, durable and stylish. They had to feel good and look good. Believe you me, if you feel good and look great it’s a real motivator.
The ski slopes
needed some sparkle
So we started with a small motivated team to shake things up and took off to find a manufacturer.

If only I could sparkle as much in the summer as I do in the winter. Makes me feel great I've added that little bit of sparkle to my skiing wardrobe. Can't wait for next years sparkly ski goggles and please tell me you are going to start making salopettes and jackets??!!

Just a little bit extra from us ...
My dreams and aspirations were in ski racing. Having in the past represented GBR at various International youth competitions it can seem glamorous, but ski racing is tough. You need to be determined, work hard, be positive and learn from your mistakes.
So with this is mind
FLASHTAG was born,
a #SNOWLIFE brand
If nothing else we want to inspire you to get out there, travel lots, live life to the max and have no regrets. Make time and embrace every moment to do what you truly love and as my mum keeps telling me ‘you only have one life, do what makes you happy and have no regrets’.
