Pureology Smooth Perfection review

My hair tends frizz a bit, it’s not a hectic frizz but I have those pesky flyaway frizz bits on the top, which drive me nuts. My bestie Carrie (a hairdresser at Innovation in La Lucia Mall) is well aware of my pesky frizz and recommended I try Pureology Smooth Perfection.

The Bike Park Constantia Uitsig

After our recent biking adventure in The Forest of Dean while on holiday in the UK our boys have gone bike crazy!

The Vampire Facial/AKA Dermapen with PRP

I have been doing Dermapen treatments for about 2 years now, having had my first treatment with Dr. Wade back in August 2016 and I can honestly say it is one of my most favorite treatments. I absolutely love the results.

But as it’s gradually become more and more popular there seems to be quite a lot of confusion about Dermapen and the vampire facial, so I decided to try out the “vampire facial” and do a post outlining the differences based on my own experience and understanding. Interested?… Read on and watch my experience.
