Aesthetics & Beauty January 2014 – out now!
I finally did it! Let me backtrack a little here…since I started working at Aesthetics & Beauty three years ago, I have never shied away from trying all kinds of new-fangled beauty treatments. However, I have always resisted injectables. Somehow, that seemed to me, invasive and I felt that I did not need that for […]
Chocolate Love
Ikeda Spa Prestige’s sweet treat will have your partner screaming, “Oh yes!” this Valentine’s Day! I am a chocoholic so when I received an email from Ikeda Spa Prestige inviting me to try out their special Valentine’s Day treatment of white chocolate scrub, red rose bath and dark chocolate massage, I agreed without hesitation.

Soothe Sensitive Skin

In fact, a degree in Science (thank goodness I scored A1 for Science) is required to comprehend all these […]

We all desire to have skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom, even down in our nether regions. GentleMAX by Candela may be the answer you’re looking for! I’d like to think that I’m a veteran when it comes to Brazilian hair removal – waxing, IPL, facial, I’ve tried them all. For someone covered with […]

Hair Treatment: Aveda Dry Remedy
Just like your body and skin, your hair needs to be fed the right nutrients in order for it to be healthy. This is especially relevant if you have just coloured it, and wash and blow-dry it daily due to a sporty lifestyle – like me! After losing a bunch of hair from attempting to […]
