    Jan 11 2025
    It is such a pleasure to welcome Debbie Thomas on today's episode.
    Debbie is the founder of the renowned D.Thomas Clinic and is one of the UK's leading laser experts. She KNOWS the ins and outs of non-invasive treatments and is the perfect person to talk us through what various treatments do and who they are suitable for.
    During the episode we talk about:

    -Why Debbie chooses the most appropriate treatments for her clients rather than allowing them to dictate what they want
    -The growing non-aesthetic industry and how to navigate it
    -The dangers of seeing the wrong practitioner
    • Home LED devices and whether they actually help us
    • The growing non-aesthetic industry and how to navigate it
    • The dangers of seeing the wrong practitioner
    • The skincare ingredients we should all be using
    And lots more.

    This is such an informative episode and I love how balanced and well informed Debbie is!

  • A Little Episode To Cheer You up if You're Feeling A Bit "New- Yearish"

    A Little Episode To Cheer You up if You're Feeling A Bit "New- Yearish"
    Jan 6 2025
    I wanted to start the week by sharing how I feel about New Year pressures and why you need to close your ears and eyes to them. Begone pressure to lose all the weight and ads with magical solutions to all our supposed New Year problems.
    I also talk about why I like to get excited about work at this time of year but how you can't change everything overnight.
    I'll also talk a bit about why I'll be doing a little bit more content about my anxiety experience and more importantly how I've got better.
    Loads of New Year's love.

  • Suzy Nightingale and Me - If You're Dreading New Year's Eve You're Going To Like This!

    Suzy Nightingale and Me - If You're Dreading New Year's Eve You're Going To Like This!
    Dec 28 2024
    Suzy Nightingale and I are NOT fans of New Year's Eve and we most definitely don't believe in extreme New Year's resolutions.
    In this episode we go on a wonderful rant about New Year's Eves of the past, crazy resolutions we made when we were younger and why we both shake at the thought of the dreaded midnight kiss.
    We hope you enjoy this slightly irreverent and grumpy take on our most dreaded night of the year!
