November, rolling into December, is always a period of rest and reflection for me. Other than the hustle and bustle of December and preparing for Christmas dinner, there are always parties to go to and people from the year to meet. And during this festive time, you definitely need to look your best, so I'll be sharing with you some beauty and make-up products I've been using this end of years! Come on in!
Today's topic will be a subject close to many ladies' hearts - our skin! And not just the skin on our faces, like many of my past posts, are about, including ways to look like you're wearing makeup without actually using makeup, achieving glass/mochi skin and also places where you can get great facials, such as at New York Skin Solutions or Adisha Torre, two of the facial places I frequent.
From the picture above, you're probably wondering what today's topic might be. This is a painting of Cleopatra by artist Gerard de Lairesse - she was famous for both her beauty and wits, and legend has it that she actually avoided having a war with Julius Caesar and his forces by rolling herself in a carpet and getting it delivered to his quarters! And of course, her skin was dazzling. So today, we will be talking about both ancient and more technologically-advanced ingredients for good overall skin on your body. Come on in!
2021 was a sobering year. I started to get more responsibilities, whether I knew of them or not, in both my private and professional life. I cut off an unhealthy part of my life - mostly the boozing and fraternizing (wow what a bombastic word!). I organized my life around the people who mattered, in both my personal and work lives. Here's a 2021 recap of what happened in the year. Come on in~

[Review] Non-Invasive Fat Loss Treatments - CoolScupt / Zeltic vs. Zerona / Cold-Laser vs. Vanquish ME / Exilis Ultra vs Lipo Laser vs Ultrasound Cavitation
Friday, July 02, 2021
This is part 2 in my series on weight-loss solutions without exercise. The first post did pretty well, and if you're looking for moderate dieting advice, please click on the link to check out a simple short-term diet you can do to lose weight (you can lose up to 3kg in a week!), and some of the science behind weight-loss. This post, however, will compare some of the non-invasive slimming techniques that you can use to slim yourself down without heavy dieting or exercise. These are some of the treatments that weight-loss salons, like Bella Marie France or Cheryl W, use for slimming on their clients. I've been to a few of these just to check them out. I was sceptical, like most of my readers, until I actually tried them... (Yes, the beauty junkie in me has tried all 5 of these treatments over the years...) Come on in to find out more!
I'm sure many of my readers out there have read my post about getting "glass" skin and how to achieve that no make-up make-up look, in years prior on my blog. (In fact, the latter article went viral and achieved 10k++ views over 2 years!) In this continuation of my skincare secrets series. I present to you: how to achieve glass or mochi skin!
