Get yourself spruced up at the Laserderm Clinic

Thu, May 06, 2010

Spring is in the air and while the sun is playing hide and seek many of us are busy preening ourselves for the big upcoming summer unveiling and where better to complete this process than at the Laserderm Clinic.

For more than a year I’ve been going to see Lisa Callaghan at the Laserderm Clinic in Claregalway and have undergone a number of different treatments during that time starting with the laser hair removal. This is a treatment I’d seriously recommend anyone to do, men and women, as it really does pay off in the long term. Just think six to seven treatments of laser and you’ll never ever have to suffer the pain of waxing again or use razors again. There are many areas that can be zapped including bikini line, underarm, lower legs, and upper lip, and there are also combination packages.

Tips for picking the perfect summer day dress

Thu, Apr 29, 2010

The weather is hotting up, and so is the style! Picking the perfect summer day dress can be a little tricky. Summer dresses come in all shapes and sizes, and everyone can expect to find a flattering style among the pieces available in this summer's collection. As we are all looking for a dress that is easy, trendy, and enjoyable, here are my top tips to help you find it.

The maxi dress is really a must have and will flatter most shapes and will take you from the beach to a barbecue party. If you are not sure what size of pattern suits you then go for a medium size such as this maxi dress from Jane Norman. Accessorise it with a short cardigan or bolero in a colour that will complement the dress and your complexion, and wear it with gladiator style heels, wedges, or flat pumps.
