Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review

I have used the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa for the last 4 weeks and it has really changed my skin for the better. At the cost of 2 professional salon visits it’s well worth the hype. I now can see amazing results in the comfort of my own bathroom. It’s lifted my jaw line. My cheeks, around my mouth and eyes have really been smoothed out. Also my pores actually look like I have spent a fortune on weekly treatments. The fine lines are around my eyes have all but vanished. it looks like I have expensive spa visits. It’s a little like ironing out the skin. The more you use this device the better the results. What’s great about this is that I found it actually works much like a professional Galvanic machine. These work by sending a current through the skin and enable products to be penetrated deeper into the underlying cells. And also to cleanse the skin to allow the new podcast to be introduced. It will create a slight metallic taste, this is completely normal and professional services do just the same.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review
I use the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa (incredible little gadget) around 3 times a week for 5 minutes a time for each gel stage that comes with the kit. I just pop it into my regular nighttime routine and I’m sorted.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Routine

  1. I take off my makeup with an oil based lotion. This will get rid of stubborn eye makeup and daily build up of London life.
  2. I then cleanse with my skin with Caudilie facial foam. I will do a full review of this very soon!
  3. I then chop off the end of the pre gel treatment and apply 1/2 of the tube all over my face.
  4. Then I damp my hand under the tap and place my fingers on the metal pad at the back.
  5. Turn on the machine to No1 and start to gently use upward motions, a bit like a facial massage. You will hear the machine beep and this tells you its working.
  6. I do this for about 2 1/2 minutes then move onto the other side. This stage is the deep cleansing stage where its having a souphficaton effect. This means its turning the grease and grime into a soap like substance that can be washed off.
  7. Then it time for the treatment mode No2. Cut open the treatment tube and add 1/2 to the entire face and just repeat the movements from before.
  8. If I am doing my weekly mask I would apply this now for about 10- 20 mins while relaxing in the bath.
  9. I then lightly remove any excess and apply a pea sized amount of Nu Skin night cream.
  10. I always follow this with my Hydropeptide eye cream! Check out my article here on some other incredible products.

Nu Skin Galvanic Spa Review

 

When I used the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa for the first time I decided to do just one side of my face! It’s truly amazing and I suggest if you purchase this bathroom anti ageing buddy that you do the same!! I get told all the time that I have amazing skin and regularly get asked for ID! I think this really has helped loads over the last few weeks as my skin hasn’t looked this great in months.

Once the skin has gone too far with the ageing process we can only maintain what we have. Their is no miracle cure and its all down to upkeep. You need to know that the effectiveness of expensive salon facial electrical treatments are not miracle workers but they will assist to help keep the skin in good condition. But also you need to have regular treatments going forward or the effects will be lost and your money just wasted. I have had this little device for over 6 months and annoyed I didn’t start using it sooner. I am now converted and happy to have this little baby sitting on its stand taking pride and place on my vanity unit!

Latisse Eyebrow Growth Review

You might recall my first ever article for Frost Magazine? Well it was a very long time ago! I was asked to write about a new way of using the product MyLash or Latisse ages ago and just totally forgot to give it a go. I love to road test all sorts of beauty crazes for all of our readers. So here is my Latisse Eyebrow Growth Review.

Do you long for stunning, beautiful thick and enviable brows? Eyebrows really frame the face and they can take years off someones appearance if they look luscious, shiny and in beautiful condition. When they look thin, uneven and sparse they can add years to what could be a stunning and pretty face. Latisse for eyebrows could be the answer to many girls problems. My Latisse eyebrow growth review has turned into a new way of loving this product. If you desire to look even a little like Cara Delevingne the model known for her distinctive eyebrows, you need to keep reading. Or if your brows just won’t grow after years and years of over plucking. If your getting a little older and your noticing hair changes like thin brows. if you have been enthusiastically removing a few too many hairs, or even if you crave those Cara brows that are so in fashion right now, then this could well be your next best friend.

I have had a long suffering relationship with my eyebrows. They where sparse, thin, pale and naturally a very odd shape. I used to get by with just regular biweekly HD brow treatments, eyebrow pencils, setting gels of all different descriptions, clear, brown, red or black depending on what colour my hair was one week to the next. I have tons of eyebrow shadow and I dye the life out of them in hope that one day I will wake up looking like Cara.Latisse Eyebrow Growth Review

You all know I love MyLash or Latisse as its known in America and its going down a storm over in the states. Latisse eyebrow growth treatment is simply brilliant and why I haven’t I tried it and written about it before I will never know. Better late than never hey! Latisse eyebrows I predict will be the next big beauty trend. The use of Latisse on the brows started in America about 3 years ago and they are loving the product so much. Well I decided to give this a go after being sent a top up of the products recently. I am their Ambassador when it comes to the lashes as I swear by the stuff.

I have been using it religiously for a few weeks to see what happens. Well I’m delighted to tell you my brows are not what they once where. They are plumper, thicker and more glossy than ever. They need to bottle this stuff and make it into a scalp serum! Then every girls dream of longer and thicker locks would come true! I have only been using it for short time and already I can see a great change.

The reason I decided to try this after years of using it on my lashes (can’t live without it) was because I was about to get my brow tattoo redone, but to be brutally honest with you all I couldn’t go through with the pain ever again. Looking back I fooled myself in thinking it didn’t hurt and that they looked amazing, but in truth they actually looked fake. So now my semipermanent brows have faded (thank god) and what was left needed some natural attention.

So a few weeks ago I grabbed my bottle of MyLash and set about giving this a trial. Before I went to bed each evening and at the same time as I brushed my teeth it was brow rehab time. Fast forward to today and my once nasty thin and patchy eyebrows have been restored with fresh new hair all thanks to MyLash. The bald patches have been replaced, the gaps have been filled in and I feel fresher due to it being my own real hair. Can I dare say a little younger too?! When they where primarily tattooed in they looked a little too thin and very…well block like. Very ageing when I look back at close up shots.
I’m so thrilled to have naturally thicker eyebrows for the first time in years. All down to MyLash or Latisse as its know in the U.S.

 

How to apply Latisse eyebrow

  1. I do this once a day, normally before I go to bed. I apply the serum to my lash line at the same time for the most incredible long lashes. Read my full review of MyLash here to see photographic evidence that this little product is mind blowing and magical. You will be amazed I promise you.
  2. Cleanse and tone the skin.
  3. Moisturise but leave out the brow area as you want the make sure the product sinks into the skin.
  4. Use one of the little applicators to apply one drop of the eyebrow growth product to each eyebrow. Now rub it along the hair follicles that are already there. Then apply it where you would like them to grow.
  5. Have patience as it can take up to 4/6 weeks to see new hair appear in places where their hasn’t been any for years. The hair that’s already there will start to look thicker, darker and glossier within 2-4 weeks.
  6. If it drips down don’t worry your not going to get a hairy face! It needs to be repeatedly applied over a few weeks to see growth.
  7. While growing brows use it once a day and when you have grown them out. Use it around 2-3 times a week to maintain the thickness.

I’m so happy with my new thicker, stronger and more beautiful brows. I get asked all the time about my age and I really do think good brows have a lot to do with looking younger. If your face is naturally framed you don’t need to cake tons of ageing makeup on either. Just a buff of mineral foundation, a cream blusher, a little black eyeliner flick. One or two coats of mascara on your longer and now stunning lashes. All this framed by those perfect brows that even Cara would be proud of!

Here are some before and after images I have found on the internet of Latisse helping others. I haven’t documented mine stage by stage as my brow tattoo has faded and looks kind of weird. My brows are gradually growing over the old now grey looking hair stokes. They have improved so much i can’t wait to see what they will look like in a few weeks.

Macadamia Professional Launch

I attended the launch of a very exciting hair range recently. Macadamia are known for their hair oils and now they have created a fantastic new collection of professional products for salons and home use. I was mesmerised at the performance of the entire range.

They are for sale on their website so don’t worry if your salon isn’t stocking just yet, and if you are a salon wanting these just hit THIS LINK and you can introduce the entire range for your customers to go crazy over. It won’t be long before this range pops up in salon near you as this range is quite frankly superb. I have had a drastic cut recently and these are helping restore my hairs lustre, bounce and body. One of the main reasons I cut it off was it had become dry from using hotel shampoos and conditioners while traveling recently. Most inferoiur products contain Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES for short) and these strip the hair of vital goodness and essential oils. It’s not widely know that this nasty chemical can cause eye or skin irritations. The worst thing about SLES is that its used in experiments done on animals and humans. So if your Vegan you need to check those bottles guys. SLES can also cause irritation after extended exposure with some people. I can see you all dashing off to check bathroom cabinets very soon. You will be amazed at how many of your favourite products contain this substance.

So knowing all of this you would think that I would be more aware of hair heath…NO! I threw caution to the wind and also had a little fling with mega blonde hair. The combination left my once beautiful mane a tad dry and frizzy. Then macadamia pro came into my life! It’s a game changer that’s for sure! Along with being kind to your hair  and free from SLES the new Macadamia range is cruelty and gluten free. Yes you read that right, it doesn’t contain any wheat based or gluten products. With allergies being on the increase its so important to remember that your skin absorbs countless substances throughout the day. The skin is the largest organ we have so it makes sense to protect ourselves from over exposure to unnecessary products. I’m a coeliac suffer and this was music to my ears. Who would have thought a brand could be so forward thinking! Myself and my new cropped hair are extremely happy to say the least.

Take yourself over to their website here to see the entire range! I will be doing individual reviews on all their products over the next few weeks. Make sure you pop back and check them out.

So with that I will cut this short!!! And say bye until next time!

Top 10 Tips On How To Look Amazing In Pictures

Here is my definitive advice to all of you wanting to get amazing images every time no matter what. It’s all about angles and lighting. Here I will share with you a my top tips.

This will help you when you need a go to quick fire list to remind you. I have been a photographer for many years and grew up in a house with a darkroom and studio. My father was a photographer and artist. My mother was a model, so you can see where I get the passion for fashion, style and photography from.

Along with my main job as session nail technician, its all about creating amazing images. My desire to write for you guys comes from a need to help others. Be it beauty advice, great recipes or fashion and style inspiration. Its also a little photography outlet for myself and my husband. All the articles I write need pictures and what better way to get creative than set up little shoots for each and every one!

How To Look Good In Pictures

Top tips on how to look amazing in pictures.

 

  1. 1. Wear clothing that you feel amazing in. If you know your going out and having tons of pictures taken throughout the day or night its important to feel good from various angles. If you hate your upper arms then wear a dress that hides the tops of the arms. You will instantly feel more confident. Or failing that dash out and purchase MAC Face & Body. Most makeup artists I work with use this for runway shows, magazine shoots and editorials. I own a fair few bottles in different shades and its my best buddy if my arms are looking a little blotchy or pasty. Our secret ok!
  2. Invest in the best underwear. Tight and ill-fitting garments just look terrible, especially if shot from behind. Purchase t-shirt bras and seam free pants. Nude is always best in my book. Yes I do own rather a lot of Bridget style pants and I’m not ashamed to admit it.
  3. Don’t use a flash. Natural lighting is always best. I totally hate flash photography when done the wrong way. It can make makeup and clothing look terrible, whats worse.. when food is involved. Don’t do it…Whenever I ever see that dreaded flash go off snapping a beautiful plate of food I die inside just a little every time!! Turn it off and see how it looks. Yes I know there are times when your in a dark restaurant…Then that is telling you its not appropriate. If you really need to snap your food, then go out mid afternoon!
  4. Cloudy days are actually perfect for portrait photography as the sky has a natural light diffuser.
  5. Always turn to your side as this will create a softer prettier look for us girlies. If you need to lift an arm and place it on a hip do so.
  6. Use sunglasses, bags or a hat if you don’t know what to do with your hands.
  7. Practice posing in the mirror. It sounds narcissistic but it will help you the more that you do it.
  8. Always wear heels as this will create confidence.
  9. If you are having your picture taken from the front tuck your arms into your sides as this will create a longer leaner frame.
  10. Lastly Smile. Even if your not looking at the camera. You might look a little crazy but when the images come through you will look radiant and stunning.

Lentil Curry

This is a very easy, simple and staple dish in our house and we create this on this days when its drizzly outside. When the wet weather sets in its time to get those spices out and rustle up a big pot of hot and delicious happiness. Whats great about this recipe is that its a vegan meal that can be adapted for sides, or of a whopper of a main meat eaters meal. All you need to do is add a little extra sustenance towards the end of the cooking time. The best bit though I have saved till last….And thats that this dish is ultra kind on those hips as I didn’t you any oil or fats when cooking.Lentil Curry Lentil Curry Lentil Curry-3 Lentil Curry-4

  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • 2 tsp of  ground Garlic or 2 bulbs of the fresh kind
  • 1/2 a bag of Rice
  • 2 Naan breads

Lentil Curry Method

Now here is the best bit….Its a one pot wonder that takes minutes to prepare and is wildly amazing.

  1. Chop up the onions and carrots.
  2. Then drop them into the pan. No need for oil as this is an ultra healthy dish.
  3. Add all the other ingredients and bring to the boil.
  4. Let it all simmer for about 1 hour and keep checking to make sure that it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  5. Then boil the rice and serve with the Naan bread. Simple and so easy.

They have recently revamped all the offerings at this little bar and we can say hand on heart they have got it spot on. Its buzzing and thriving, so whatever they are doing its working.

The entire evening we spent sampling their new menu and it was divine. The cocktails where superior, the staff incredible and the food was so delicious we’d happily eat there every day of the week.

If you like burgers this is the place to come. Home cooked brioche buns cooked fresh using the chefs grandmas secret recipe! Just these alone will make you want to eat here every night of the week.   Our dishes where served we got stuck in straight away. Ian went for the jerk chicken burger with fries and I had the spicy option. Jalapeño and chorizo burger with sides of Parmesan, truffle oil fried and a fresh tomato and basil leaf salad. Eyes always bigger than my belly I endeavoured to eat it all!   The chat at this point stopped while we savoured each and every morsel. Jealous on lookers stated that the food looked spectacular and we can report it was as good as it looked.   My burger was perfectly seasoned with heavenly and hot spices. It was garnished with Gherkins, tomatoes, lettuce and the dressing created the most amazing kick. Simply the best burger tower know to mankind!   Ian's burger was pretty much devotedly demolished along with satisfied mumbling! As he took bite after bite the dressing oozed out and made the ideal amount of mess. Finger licking goodness to satisfy any soul.  Now normally I'm all about the burgers but here we have a slight problem. I have a real addictive nature when it comes to their Parmesan and truffle oil fries. They where definitely the best thing about the entire meal. They know me and I was allowed to order these off menu. I'm sure if you take a visit and mention this article you might just be able to get the chef to rustle you up a plate or 3!! They are simply the best.

We do it for you.....And the fact that you can't not have a sticky toffee Sunday when it's up for grabs. An odd mix but by gosh was it good. Custard is a thing of the past my friends. Velvety ice cream is the only thing to serve with toffee these days!

Holborn Dining Room

The Holborn Dining Room is a beautiful classy and chilled establishment. The interior is splendid but isn’t as impressive as the outside area in when the sun is shining. We headed out for a wander mid afternoon to grab a few drinks and stumbled upon this place. The menu was basic, delicious, and very impressive. We plumped for good old fish finger sandwich and a classic chicken and bacon salad. Washed down with a few Gin cocktails.

 

With seasonal, locally sourced British cuisine on the menu this place will go down very well when needing to impress a lady or friends. Grab yourself a pint of local lager a burger or a glass of fizz and a pint of prawns. Fine wines are on offer at this renowned restaurant.

Holborn Dining Room is a welcome find for us. London life is so very grand when you find places just like this to share with all of you. It’s possibly one of the nicest bars on the scene in the city.

Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining Room Holborn Dining RoomThe first cocktails we tested where the Hendricks and the G Vine. The G Vine was simply amazing flavoured with elderflower tonic and garnished with grapes. I happily sat and sipped while we waited for the food to arrive. This place is where you need to chill and soak up the amazing atmosphere. Their is no rush, just take your time to relax.

Another cocktail before we ate… This one was the Smooth Amber, garnished with cinnamon and orange zest. Pocky and pretty darn good. Ian went for a more simple one. The sipsmith, flavoured with juniper, lemon and orange. Both had us feeling chilled in a matter of moments! Ready for some food by this point and we where not disappointed. Out came our dishes served by a lovely waitress. We chatted for a few moments about how grand it would be to stay in one of the many rooms on offer. You can actually rent an entire floor in the hotel, POA of course! Other rooms start from around £250 per night if you are tempted.

Who would have thought a simple chicken and bacon salad could look this divine and taste so utterly wonderful. A side of chips as thats just how we like to roll! Ian’s fish finger sandwich was severed on sourdough bread. A little fiddly to eat but impressive none the less. It was garnished with horseradish and by all accounts was really rather a good choice. The menu is made up of simple dishes with a twist. All the other dishes being served to various tables looked and smelt divine. This is most certainly one place we need to come back to review the evenings offerings.

Well worth a little trip very soon if your in the area. The prices reflect the area and the quality of the food. Not an everyday treat for some but possibly the nicest of afternoons you could have. We spent the rest of the day wandering back home with full bellies and happy smiles.
