What you shouldn’t do after a session of laser hair removal

For a lot of people, it can be a very exciting prospect to get started on their laser hair removal journey. When you get to the end, you’ll potentially never have to shave again, or at least not for a very long time, being left with beautiful, smooth skin for years to come.

While those treatment sessions are ongoing, however, there are a few things that you’ll need to keep in mind. Here, we explore some basic but super important things to avoid directly after a session, from sun to shaving, to help you get the most out of your experience.

Branded clothing versus blanks – Which is best?

Most of us end up putting a surprising amount of time and energy into what we wear. Whether for work or for our personal lives, the clothing we choose to go out wearing is one of the most important ways of expressing our identity, and there are plenty of ways of choosing to go about doing that.

One of those choices is often going to be between wearing branded or blank clothing. Here, we go through some of the strengths and weaknesses of each, in various different settings, to help you make your own mind up about which is best.

Lighthouse Clothing Review – Stylish Waterproof Autumn Wear

As soon as the weather turns cooler, our weekends start to look very different. Rainy walks in the park with our buddy dog, windy afternoons, and frosty college runs quickly become part of the routine — which means having the right clothes is essential. This autumn, I have been trying out some pieces from Lighthouse Clothing, and they have slotted into my life perfectly.

Avoalre Athletic Socks Review

Avoalre is a brand that started with an aspiration to create athletic socks for every sports person to enjoy. They source their own materials, design and put the socks through a variety of moisture absorption performance tests, friction and endurance tests. Their unique selling point (USP) is that their socks fit well and are comfortable. After testing them out, we were very confident that it does exactly what it says on the tin! We were pleased with them!

Hirst Footwear Bogs Crandall II Boots Review

As all the clocks have recently turned back an hour, it is the signal that we are drawing towards the cold and wet English winter which means temperatures are dropping fast and the ground is often wet! Now is a great time to stock up your boots and wellies before the Christmas shopping rush. Where is the best shoe shop to look online? Hirst Footwear would be a great place to start.

Birthday Weekend in Paris with Hotter Shoes

You are only 40 once and 40 is the new 30! I have never been fussed about going big to celebrate my birthday nor have I had a birthday bucket list before 40. But when I heard that Hotter shoes was offering a couple of bloggers the opportunity to test out their Chase shoes, I jumped right into it! I have always known that Hotter make really comfy, durable shoes. The reason I know is because I have been wearing the Dew shoes almost every day for two years and its still wearable although the soles are worn.

2019 Challenge with ADEXE Watch London

Time has passed so quickly and now we are welcoming 2019! This will be a very challenging year ahead as we are buying a new house soon and Mr K will be going to ‘big’ school in September. The year before, we made a big decision to sell our ‘forever home’ to move closer to Mr K’s big school as we wanted the best school for him. It was not an easy decision as it involved tying ourselves to a bigger/longer mortgage and moving away from our nearby friends.

Hotter Leanne Review

This August, I am getting active with the Hotter Leanne shoes! Since we moved into the rented flat, I have been doing more walking than ever before and with this warmer weather, having a comfortable shoe for walking is a must! That’s why I will always choose Hotter as they make shoes that feel as comfortable as slippers!

Before we moved house a couple of months ago, I used to rely on my car for most of my journeys as we lived far away from the city centre and the supermarkets. Now, living next to the town centre at approx. a 3 minute walk away, I have no excuse!
