BT Nano Facial

This week I tried out a new type of facial. The BT Nano facial. Basically it is still a deep cleanse but with the addition of a new gadget called a BT Nano which is a Bio Therapeutic machine. It's a small device that sends micro currents to your muscles to slow down the ageing process as well as improve blood circulation resulting in revitalised skin.

There are many functions of this gadget - the technology helps firm and smooth the skin, rehydrate and revitalise skin. Due to my constant breakouts, I required this facial to help alleviate my breakout. Lutfiya performed the normal cleansing routine and then went over my face with the machine, sending electric currents to the affected areas. I felt a slight tingle as she went over my cheeks and chin - the sensitive areas. It felt like a mild form of laser.

At the end of the facial I noticed my skin felt tighter, looked brighter and my breakout seemed to diminish slightly. I noticed after a few days my breakout subsided on the surface. I can still feel something underneath which I think is more of a hormonal problem thus it's reoccurrance.

I did a bit of research on the process and drastic results can only be seen after a good few treatments, which I plan to undergo to see how well this machine works. I was very happy with the initial results so I'm keen to have another BT Nano facial.

Coffee Break

Can this year end already??? Its the final stretch and boy am I am feeling it! On a happier note though, work is almost over and I can't wait to relax! I have been watching everyone's snaps on Snapchat - most of them are on holiday. One of my friends is giving me major envy with all his Thailand snaps while I'm snapping myself at work! I don't have anything planned this year however I do wish to spend quality time with my family. I feel like I haven't seen then all year! 

Pagiel and I shot this at the Durban Botanic Gardens after a shoot we had done. We needed something to cool us down after working in the blazing sun all morning and ended up doing an impromptu photoshoot for me. My look was casual and cool, allowing me to move freely and work efficiently in the heat. The satin pyjama-style top is from Zara, it's probably the coolest shirt I own. The jeans are from Mr Price which was purchased for a photoshoot but made it's way into my closet. Lastly, the shoes are from Zara, which are still in stock in some stores.

Joseph Ribkoff Event

Last Friday 4 Elements Media and Stuttafords Gateway invited  myself and a few others to attend the launch of the latest collection by Joseph Ribkoff, stocked by Stuttafords. Guests were treated to welcome drinks and a selection of hors d'oeuvres which included spicy prawns and mini salmon and potato rosti towers. Guests were given a little insight about the Spring 2016 collection which perfectly complements the modern woman. 

The theme for the season is 'ease of dressing' which is translated through the softened silhouettes of draping, overlapping and asymmetrical lines. The key fabrics utilised are silky knit and sublime georgette which play perfectly into the effortlessly sexy look the brand emphasizes. Special design features include fringe trims, zippers and gold hardware. Black and white accompanied by stripes are the leading prints for the season punctuated with pops of colour and spring florals.

My look for the evening was understated glam. The black draped dress was part of the latest collection which I accessorised with some key items from the latest Ted Baker collection, also stocked by Stuttafords. The black cut out heels were incorporated to add a bit of dimension to my look as the colour palette remained monochrome.
