Here it is as promised - my lip filler journey / experience. Lip fillers are something I’ve always been in 2 minds about. One week I’m thinking Yes! I’m doing it and researching the best practitioners etc and then by the following week I’m having doubts - what if it goes wrong? What if I hate it? What if it ruins my face forever? And so on. So when a good friend of mine embarked on a training course to learn all things beauty including fillers and aesthetics I knew this would fall into my comfort and I would get to finally try it out whilst also supporting my friend. I’m notorious for researching things excessively so I pretty much had in my mind what I wanted to get from the fillers - I wanted as natural as possible, keeping the same shape as my natural lips but just a bit fuller. I specifically didn’t want the ‘duck face’ look and I wanted upper and lower lips to be balanced! My main decision to be made was whether To have 0.5ml or 1ml. On the advice of my friend and from my ex...

This will perhaps be the most difficult post to write as it means revisiting old feelings and experiences, however I feel like it is the right time for me to express this and also if someone happens to stumble upon this post and it helps them in anyway no matter how small then that can only be a good thing. I had known for a long time after having my daughter that I did not feel like myself / did not feel 'right' however I would always put this down to other factors mainly resulting in me blaming myself and in turn I would feel worse. Its actually really difficult to know where to begin with this post, and as I am typing I am already trying to think of ways to make it as brief as possible, but this would be missing the point! To summarize, I only actually got diagnosed with Post Natal Depression (sometimes Ante Natal Depression) after my daughter was 2 and a half years old, that is a long time I was suffering and it was fair to say I was at breaking point when I walked into t...

It has been so long since I last posted that I may have forgotten how to write! There are various reasons that I had stopped blogging, I go into these in detail on other posts but underlying I felt that i had nothing to speak about. But it will be good to get back on the blogging bandwagon and may be slighty theraputic, we shall see! Kim x

Hello Everyone, So yes, I am ashamed to admit that I have not started my diet on Wednesday as planned, I know, I know, I must have zero willpower or motivation! The truth is there has simply been too much going on the past few days to even begin to think about starting and sticking to the diet. But I have no food arrangements coming up so tomorrow will be the day for me to start properly. I haven't been totally naughty though, Monday evening I attended a Total Workout Class followed by Total Strength Class so I don't feel as bad on myself as maybe I should. Here is the diet plan as promised in my earlier post: Breakfast Lunch Dinner Day 1 1 slice dry toast with tomato Fresh Fruit, any amount 2 hard boiled eggs, salad and grapefruit Day 2 Boiled egg and Grapefruit Grilled Chicken with tomatoes and 1 slice dry toast Grilled Steak and Salad Day 3 Boiled egg and Grapefruit Fresh Fruit, any amount 2 Grilled lamb chops, sa...
