I’m a big fan of Botox for many reasons – from its potential pain-relieving benefits to its wrinkle busting properties – but I almost choked on my latte when I saw this story the other morning: a mother has been injecting her daughter – who was 15 years old at the time – with Botox! (more…)
The first time I saw The Hills, I was totally confused! The strange mixture between what seemed to be a reality TV show and a teen drama had me quite bamboozled, but I’d never seen Laguna Beach and my friends told me it would have made a lot more sense if I had. Laguna Beach was a massive MTV reality show about wealthy teens and their high school experiences. (more…)
The first video I saw of Lady Gaga’s – Just Dance – wasn’t really my thing. But the more outrageous her outfits and shows become, the more I’m starting to warm to her. This is one musician that enjoys performing, that’s clear for anyone to see. And to be honest, it’s quite refreshing to see someone who’s so comfortable in their own skin that they’ll wear all kinds of crazy outfits and don’t mind being covered in fake blood or gunge for the sake of an extravagant show.

We’ve been seeing a rise in the number of men considering – and going through with – cosmetic surgery for a good long while now, so a survey from BAAPS showing that last year saw the figures swell by a fifth didn’t hold many surprises for me. (more…)
Well, I had a feeling the news reports about Heidi Montag might have been a little over the top or extremist – and now it looks like I was on the right track. The star of that kind of addictive but slightly strange reality TV show The Hills has been giving all kinds of dramatic interviews about her supposed 10 cosmetic surgery procedures in one day – even claiming that she ‘almost died’. Her surgeon has since gone on record to rubbish her claims as sensationalist – and I for one can see why! (more…)
When I think about cosmetic surgery I tend to think of it in two different ways, even though there are crossovers. Basically I think about cosmetic surgery as either a choice people make to help them defy the years or as a way to give nature a helping hand. This might sound like two different ways of saying the same thing to some people, but I see a difference between them and I don’t think I’m the only one. (more…)
Well, who would have known that the start to 2010 would be quite this chilly? The snow has been incredible across the UK. Beautiful, yes, especially over the holidays – but it’s a bit more problematic when it comes to getting to work in the morning! Luckily I’ve not had too many problems with travel, although I’ve probably had a few more lattes and hot chocolates than I really should have in the last few weeks…. (more…)
The clinics and offices are buzzing with festive cheer at the moment and I’m wondering if we’re going to be getting a white Christmas this year. I hope so! There’s nothing like feelings as though you’ve stepped out of a Christmas card.
While this time of year is one for celebrating, I know it’s one where people can sometimes find themselves feeling self conscious about the way they look. While the summer holds its own body challenges, from sun burned and damaged skin to bikini-on-the-beach fears, so does the festive period. (more…)
Recently we did a little research at the Harley Medical Group and we found out that in the UK lots of people like to keep quiet about the fact that they’ve had cosmetic surgery. I was actually quite surprised by how many people like to keep mum about it, but then I suppose I obviously work somewhere where we’re very open when it comes to talking about these things! (more…)
I look away for two minutes, or one nice quiet weekend, and all of a sudden we’re in December. How did it sneak up on me this year? I like to think I’m normally quite organised when it comes to the festive season – especially seeing as I love Christmas shopping so much! – but somehow it’s caught me unawares. Luckily I’ve still got enough time to get myself prepped though. (more…)
