Laser Hair Removal - Is it for you?

So Spring has (apparently) arrived and the weather will soon start to turn warm, so bye bye thick black chunky tights, denim skirt and chunky knit sweaters that I have lived in for the last 5 months or so will find themselves at the back of the wardrobe once again, That said, out will come the pretty skirts and dresses that I prefer to wear and with that is the constant checking that my legs are no comparison to that of a gorilla.

One of my closest friends had laser hair removal a few years ago and she said it the best money she has ever spent, having carefully worked out how much it costs for razors, shaving gel and anything else she used and compared it to the cost of laser treatment. So it is something I have looked into and there are so many options to choose from and so many places to choose to go to for the treatment and then the decision as to whether or not it is really for you. One thing I was concerned about was whether it would be as painful as waxing, which lets face it, is not pleasant and in actual fact, my friend Sarah compared it to being like a flick of an elastic band at its most painful.


When debating whether or not Laser Hair Removal is for you, the infographic shown below is actually really helpful and it also gives some food for thought as to whether or not it would actually work for you.



At this stage I am still undecided as to whether or not laser hair removal is for me and I still have quite a few documents to read and look through, but it has helped having a friend who has had it done.

Is Laser Hair Removal something you have had done or have considered having done?

Dolce Dreams Coconut Macaroon Body Scrub

Most people will have heard of Fake Bake and associate it with fake tan, but there is more to the brand than just that. Dolce Dreams is part of the Fake Bake Beauty at Home range where you will find Skincare, Make Up, Bath and Body, Gifts and Home. Dolce Dreams is described as being the home of decadent treats and with products called Bon Bon Body Fizz, Lemon Meringue Body Whip and Coconut Macaroon Body Scrub.  As a company synonymous with fake tanning, ensuring that your bosy is scrubbed, buffed and polished is obviously important, so what better way than to invent their own products to do just that.

I have just finished by tub of Dolce Dreams Coconut Macaroon Body Scrub and it is just divine, more so if you happen to love both coconut and macaroons. Scented with coconut and blended with natural sugar, this scrub smells deliciously sweet and with the use of natural sugar, it has quite a rough texture to it which makes it really effective at exfoliating and buffing the skin to remove, dead, dry and rough skin and with a a bit of pressure when using, it really does help remove the toughest of dry skin, such as that on your heels, elbows and for me, my shins.

Once you have showered or bathed, whichever is your preference, you should find that your skin is looking and feeling amazing.  Soft and smooth to the touch, moisturised and looking much brighter than it was.  Of course, if you are a fake tan fan, you should then have no trouble applying it, because there is no dry skin for it to stick too.  Even if you dont fake tan, the scent of the scrub on your skin afterwards is simply divine especially if like me, you love all things coconut, though there is a slight hint of Macaroons too.

You can buy the scrub along with a whole range of Fake Bake Beauty at Home products here for £14.00
