BSOTM a.k.a Beauty Salon of the Month

Afternoon Ladies,

 

Another cold one here today! I'm rocking a pair of fabulous pink fluffy knee socks to keep my tootsies warm :)

I thought I'd start doing a beauty salon of the month post to help find the best salons and treatments being offered right now.

So welcome to BSOTM!! Hope you enjoy the first post! :) x

 

I am so excited because im booked in for a facial later on today and I am living for it! I can't wait to be all cosy on the heated bed getting pampered...eeeeppppp excited!

 

I am in the process of trying to get my skin clear and pretty for December.

 

My last facial was 6 weeks ago and my breakouts have cleared up so well over the weeks since. I no longer have big volcano like spots that seem to fester under the skin for weeks before they make their glorious appearence and ruin my life!

 

I am still suffering from redness and sensitivity on my cheeks and a few tiny pimples here and there but it is a vast improvement let me tell you.

 

 The salon in I am going to is in Sallins in Co. Kildare and it's called Milles Beauty Rooms and I love it, the girls are all so lovely and helpful. I also get a little excited when I see the walls of the reception area, they are filled with loads of different products. Its like a candy shop for women.

They have an online store too where you can purchase all these fabulous goodies!

I WANT EVERYTHING!!!!!!

 

They use Dermalogica and I usually get the signature facial which lasts approx 60mins at a cost of €68. You get a taster back treatment (mini back scrub and massage) before the facial too which is great.

 

The treatment rooms are nice and simple and as soon as you walk in you are hit with the most relaxing aroma. They spray the pillow for your head with lavender too, helloooo relaxy sleepy time!

 

I will do a post on the treatment another day for you guys! ;)

 

Here's a few pics of the treatment room I was in....

 

 

Here's to relaxing facials and pampering!!

 

Do you have any favourite treatments or salons you go to?

 

Thanks for reading! :)

Swan Hand Painting

Hey guys!

Yestrerday I got the urge to do some body painting! I was inspired by an artist called  Guido Daniele, you can check him out here. His work is brilliant and I was really excited to try and recreate one of his works.

He has done loads of animal paintings on hands and I picked his Swan to re-create.

I started out by sketching out the swans details on my hand. 

 

Then it was just a matter of filling in the different colours.

 

The eye was the trickiest part!

 

After 2 hours drumroll for the finished look.......

 

Ta Da!!

 

Will have to work my way up slowly to his more intricate looks!

 

Hope this will inspire some creative juices to get flowing in you!

 

Thanks for reading! :)

 

Love,
