My dearest Clouds Drummond got a little bit older the other day. Like oooold, maybe even with a capital O. Old. Ag shampies. So, to help take the edge off, she and her lovely hubby decided to treat us all to Societi Bistro Birthday supper which made perfect sense ‘cos it’s pretty much every body’s […]

August 28, 2013.Reading time 3 minutes.

So there’s a new filler in town; Juvederm Volbella. For those of you completely out of the loop, fillers, for the most part, are gels containing hyaluronic acid that’s injected under the skin to fill up fine lines and restore volume. While the word ‘hyaluronic acid’ sounds terrifying, it’s actually a naturally occurring mega-moisturising substance […]

So let’s talk about Botox. First up, let’s all just get clear as to what Botox is and what it does. For one, it’s not ‘snake venom’. That’s a bunch of kak. It’s actually derived from a naturally occurring bacteria and has been successfully treating expression lines for more than 20 years. Expression lines are […]
