Breaking Down Barriers of Cosmetic Treatment

by

Last week I was in my local beauty clinic Sono Bello receiving some laser liposuction, a great and non-invasive treatment which burned away some of the fatty areas of my body which I have been unable to shift in the gym. Incidentally I should probably give clinic a shout out because I think they are fantastic, check out the Sono Bello reviews if you don’t believe me. Anyway, I digress.

So, as I was sat in the waiting room I was chatting to some of the other girls who were there for treatments about just how fantastic the world of cosmetic surgery is and why more people should get involved, whilst it is gaining in popularity, there are still many who turn their nose up at the idea of receiving cosmetic treatment. For this reason I wanted to talk a little about why I think their opinion should change.

Better Practices

With the exception of the horror story that came out a few years ago about the French-designed breast implants which were bursting under the skin, cosmetic surgery practices are now of an extremely high standard. Cosmetic surgeons must go through exactly the same qualification process as a doctor and they are now using some of the most cutting edge equipment to perform procedures. Aside from this there is a comprehensive pre and post surgery care plan which ensures that the patient is comfortable, confident and in good health.

Improved Pricing

In the past it would only be the rich and famous who could afford to elect for cosmetic surgery but those days have long gone. Because of the popular nature of plastic surgery, coupled with the sheer amount of clinics out there, the cost of treatments seem to be coming down more each year. For example, breast augmentation used to run up a cost of around $18,000 back in the 90s, now you can have your boobs boosted for as little as $2,500. This price makes it far more accessible to many more people.

Helping Mental Health Problems

Feeling better about your body can alleviate many mental conditions, boost confidence and change people’s lives and receiving some cosmetic treatment will enable them to do exactly that. Whilst there are still some charlatan surgeons out there, who incidentally are being driven out of town by authorities, most clinics will sit down and discuss with you at great length your reasons for having surgery. In some cases, clinics may even refer you to a counsellor if they feel as though you have body issues which cannot be solved with surgery. This is not to say that they would perform the surgery, they are a business after all but they will ensure that you’ve had every opportunity to consider your options and make an informed decision.

So here you have it, if you have a part of your body that you’d like to tweak or alter then don’t be scared, get down to your local clinic, have a conversation and change your life for the better.

A watch is an extension of your personality, a way of expressing yourself, including your quirks and idiosyncrasies. A lot of women are averse to stereotypically feminine watches that come with small dials, narrow straps and dainty aesthetics. Instead, they prefer sturdier timepieces that help them achieve the edge they’re looking for. Madonna, for example, has time and again expressed her love for men’s Longines watches. If you’re one of those ladies who loves blurring the so-called gender boundaries and feels inevitably drawn towards the men’s section at a watch store, then it’s worth looking at the watches we’ve curated for you.

How to Make Yourself Look Younger

Every day, you get a day older unfortunately. This means that you may also be after some tips to, at least on the surface, stop Father Time and his ravaging effects. Below are some of the options available to you, which includes Ultherapy.

  1. Botox

Botox can do a whole lot of things for you, including:

  • Erase glabellar wrinkles and frown lines, so you stop looking angry.
  • Get rid of those wrinkles on your forehead. You only need between 10 and 20 units, and you won’t have wrinkles for around four months!
  • Lessen crow’s feet and wrinkles. In fact, the FDA has approved it for this.
  • Help to lift your brows, opening up your eyes and making you look more awake.
  • Fill those vertical lines around your mouth.

  1. Obagi

Obagi created ELASTIderm, which also helps to treat crow’s feet around your eyes. This works particularly well in combination with Botox. Obagi Clear, meanwhile, helps to address the  bags under your eyes.

  1. Ultherapy

Generally considered to be the best way to get rid of nasty crow’s feet, Ultherapy is one of the latest therapies around. Best of all, you use it as a standalone treatment, which means you don’t have to get Botox as well, nor do you have to invest in ELASTIderm.

Ultherapy also works really well if you want to lift your brows and open up your eyes. Furthermore, it has been shown to help improve the thin lines around your mouth as well. Also, the FDA has approved Ultherapy to help with sagging skin around the neck area.

  1. Juvederm Ultra Plus

Juvederm Voluma has been approved by the FDA for filling your temples. Results last about two years. Juvederm Ultra XC, meanwhile, helps you to fill the hollow bags under your eyes. It can also be used to plump your lips up, and looks incredibly natural. It can even be used to tighten up the skin on your hands.

  1. Latisse

Latisse, another FDA approved tool, will help you to develop beautiful lashes. It has been clinically proven to make your lashes longer, thicker, and darker in between eight and 16 weeks.

  1. Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers work really well on the lines around your mouth, and even more so if used in combination with Botox. They can also benefit you if you want your hands to rejuvenate.

  1. CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is the perfect procedure if you want to get rid of fatty bulges. It effectively freezes all those stubborn bulgy areas. It takes just an hour to complete, and you will be ready to get back to your daily life straight away. In fact, you could do it during your lunch break. And the results last a long time as well!

Put together, all of these therapies could easily take decades off your look. Best of all, none of them are classed as surgical procedures, which means you won’t have to take time out of your life in order to recover. At most, you could have a little bit of bruising for a few days, but that is all.

All You Need to Know about Making Your Child Look Cool and Funky

by

It seems like only yesterday where, if you wanted your child to look a bit different, you had to make the clothes yourself. And even then, you were probably quite limited to funky shirt for boys, or a frilly dress with a belt and bow for girls. Today, however, there are so many kids clothing brands available, and at such friendly prices, that you can literally allow your child to dress however they please.

Some say this is a negative development. One where people lose the skill of being able to make things themselves. But on the other hand, being able to pick from such an array of choices, and making your child look cool and funky, yet different from everybody else, could be considered a skill in its own right. Best of all, thanks to the popularity of kids designer clothes, they are now functional and comfortable as well.

How to Buy Clothes for Your Child

You have the option of going all out and buying something from the Ralph Lauren kids line of clothing. Doing so, however, will leave a burning hole in your pocket. It will generally also mean that your child will only be able to wear those clothes on very special occasions, and they will be able to sit still whenever they do. Realistically, this means your child will be able to wear their outfit no more than twice, before they will have outgrown them.

Instead, try to look for some of the more popular, and affordable, kids clothing brands. Those clothes are designed to be practical and functional, as well as being made of high quality, durable materials. In other words, your child will be able to look amazing and unique, while still being able to just be a child, play around, and have fun. Plus, because these items are so much more affordable, you will be able to buy multiple outfits that you can mix and match, so your child can look good every day.

When you do start shopping for your child’s new clothes, make sure that they are involved in the process as much as possible. You have to allow your child to develop their own individual personality, with a little bit of guidance from yourself. Because cool kids t-shirts and clothing are now available largely online, you don’t even have to drag your children out for the dreaded shopping trip anymore either. Instead of having to worry all the time about your child’s sticky fingers getting on the clothing racks, losing them in the mall, and worrying about your husband eating too much fast food and drinking too much beer as they wait for you, you can make a fun activity at home from it. Simply sit behind the computer together and decide on what types of things they would like. Once they arrive, you can try them on together and send back anything that isn’t as nice as you both would have hoped.
