I do not typically promote tattoos. Honestly, I applaud anyone who can choose permanent artwork and love it for their entire life! I can’t even love a pair of shoes for an entire season. HOWEVER – I am ready to get my first tattoo. GASP!!! What changed my mind? With full, perfect eyebrows all the rage, I am ready to take the plunge and get eyebrow tattoos. I know what you are imagining…blue or pink tinted solid line tattoos of old. Oh girl – have things changed?! What’s different? For one thing – the name! This new technology is called [...]
Downtime! That is the second most important concern for those choosing the right medspa treatment (what results can I expect is always first!). Exacting downtime is tricky. Everyone is different and reacts differently to treatments. I have one client who bruises if I even look at her. I know you want to look your best this holiday season and it the time to get started. So – what about downtime? The following are my best estimates for downtime and your holiday beauty countdown. Some of you will do better, but even my “big bruisers” will be ok if they following [...]
Did you move a long way from home to warm yourself in the endless summers of Austin, Texas? As Austinites, sunshine is a big part of who we are along with live music, festivals and a healthy lifestyle. However, as with many things, too much of a good thing is simply too much. Sun damage results in wrinkles, dark spots, freckles and leathery skin. Yuck! If you have already overindulged, I want to help. Avid sun-worshipper, forgetful sunscreen applier, tanning beds enthusiast...life is too short to regret what is already done. Instead of regret – change! There are two things [...]
I know most women prefer to keep their beauty secrets a “secret”. Not me!! I want to shout over a loudspeaker when I find something incredible like this double chin procedure. Here comes my disclaimer: if you have a needle phobia, you may not want to read past this sentence! For the rest of you, here goes… What’s a double chin? According to the dictionary, it’s “a roll of fatty flesh below a person’s chin.” According to many women (past a certain age), it’s something that starts as a nuisance, and worsens until you find yourself wearing too many scarves and/or [...]
I am so excited. I just received my Venus Freeze machine. It can do amazing things like fat reduction , cellulite removal and skin tightening. Ok - I need to take a step back. The goal for my blog is to provide unbiased information to help you with decision making and lifestyle changes. Forget that I started with a promo. When there are so many ads touting non-invasive procedures for fat reduction, it is confusing! CoolSculpting, a giant in body sculpting, has done an amazing job with marketing and advertising. I believe most people would say that CoolSculpting fat freezing [...]
Have you had your "OMG - I have a wrinkle" moment? Unless you have discovered the fountain of youth or are under 30, you know exactly what I am talking about. I started to see the first signs of "a" wrinkle in my 30s. I know what you are thinking, it couldn't have been a big deal. You are right! At the time, it probably wasn't a big deal but fast forward a few years and I wish I had paid more attention, as I am now left with the problem of getting rid of unwanted wrinkles. No excuses, but [...]
