Restalyn evening

Dr Claire, an amazing doctor specialising in aesthetic medicine based on the corner of Kloof and Henri road in Bedfordview,  at the lightsculpt Aesthetic Clinic.

She invited a select few ladies to an evening to learn more about Restalyn skin boosters and fillers.

Skin boosters are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid and are the closest to skins own collegen. They are primarily uses for anti aging and can be used almost anywhere on the body. Skin boosters work immediately by filling in the areas to soften them, and also in the long term by causing skin to produce more collegen and elastin. 

Skin Fillers on the other hand,  are used to combat the signs of aging such as wrinkles and areas that have collapsed inwards due to age concerns.  Fillers are also used for creating contours on the face like cheek lines or to fill in lips.
It is a relatively painless procedure due to the lidocaine in the filler mixture. A tiny hole is made with a needle and then a soft, needle like catheter is inserted into the skin and the mixture is slowly injected into the area. It is gently shaped by doctor clair to look as natural as possible and no downtime is needed.

At the end of the evening one lucky lady walked off with a skin booster treatment worth R5000 and five of us won a restalyn hamper worth R1300 each. Every lady that attended recieved a hamper containing a Restalyn hand cream worth over R200 each thanks to Galderma. 

Overall it was a very informative evening and I would definitely consider getting the skin boosters done.

Track weekend

Hubby and I did our first track weekend this weekend, at Phakisa Raceway. 
We arrived on Saturday morning and hubby started riding almost as soon as we arrived.  This trip was just the two of us, no tv no kids,  it was really an opportunity for us to bond as a couple.
After the last ride, we pulled our combi into the pits, had a braai,  and then just chilled in our cute double bed in the back of the combi (hubby took all the seats out at home and put in two mattresses. )
Then it was up with the sun, and breakfast on the braai again,

Beauty boxes

So beauty boxes are all they hype and I've been saving up to get one, 
Chatting with my mother in law she had two very similar boxes that she politely gave to me when she heard the price of the perspex boxes

Now my make up is organised and it looks so pretty

Are you going to invest in a beauty box? They really are worth it
