Day 4 #BlogVember

What is at the top of your bucket list?

The top of my bucket list is to take my two daughters for pilgrimage to Mecca. 

My mum took me when I was 5 and again when I was 13 and the experiance was amazing and shaped me into the person I am today.  I want that for my daughters as well. Hopefully one day soon with the will of God we shall go as a family, and they will treasure the experience as much as I did

#BlogVember Handwriting

I have a very bad handwriting,  I guess that's why I prefer typing. Anyways here goes, a picture of my handwriting.

Day 2 #BlogVember

What is my guilty pleasure???

Looks like I'll be revealing alot about myself this month, my guilty pleasure is Coffee....... I love every kind of coffee available strong mild, black or with milk. When I wake up in the morning I'm not fully human until I have at least two cups of coffee, and last thing at night as well.
When we were over seas I had turkish coffee which is so black and thick if you try to add milk it turns grey, but it was so yummy. And I can't find it anywhere here.
Then there is Arabic kahwa,  which thankfully I get a supply of once a year. I adore tasting new kinds of coffee from all over the world. At this moment I think I have over 40 different types of coffee in my cupboard.

What do you collect? #BlogVember

I will hopefully be posting every day for the month of November as part of the Blogvember challenge.

I collect make up, it's my passion and I love trying, buying and playing with new innovations, colors and consistencies. When it comes to make up my mantra is you can never have enough, in fact I love it so much i have even started a professional make up course with Kryolan.

Marie Claire Beauty event

Yesterday was the Marie Claire event in joburg.  We arrived just after ten and we're welcomed with smiles and offers of champagne.  We were excited about what was to come and took the elevator to the main floor. The first stand we saw was Nimue,  unfortunately there were only around ten stands and the Loreal and GHD workshops that I had tickets for were cancelled. THE one saving grace was that I did get a full dermatalogica facial by the talented Sarah and she gave us samples suited to out skin, to last about two weeks.
My feeling is that they had enough time after the original venue fell through to make this the show of the year. I much rather prefer the RubyBox Beauty night out.

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.
