    I Got Fillers from Dr Clare Neser

    November 5, 2018 in Beauty, Skincare

    So when one even mentions the word fillers two things tend to pop into your head right? Lip fillers AKA Kylie prior Stormi’s lips or over plumped Real Housewives of… looks. However, fillers are used in so many places and most of the time if done properly then they are hardly noticeable but do make an overall difference.

    Let’s clear the air, I did not get fillers in my lips. I’ve never had an issue with my lips and since my mouth is naturally small over-blown lips would just look silly. Perhaps I’d consider a tiny bit on the one side to balance out my skew smile but it doesn’t bother me and at the end of the day it’s about how one feels about themselves.

    In saying that I have had SO many messages and emails regarding fillers and predominately from younger women. That makes sense since my readership steers towards that demographic but also because of social media. Social media has made non-invasive treatments the norm and with good reason. Fillers generally, however, are not cheap. I had 1ml injected into my chin to slightly elongate it and also a tiny bit along my jawline. Has it made a difference, yes! I would perhaps consider a tiny bit more next time but at R6500 a pop it isn’t cheap and that is not including the consultation fee of R1000. I strongly advise that any time you have filler though you go to a plastic surgeon and someone who regularly does these treatments. Fillers can easily cause an overdone, puffy, masculine look if incorrectly placed. Which is exactly why I went to Dr Clare Neser.

    Dr Clare Neser is a total stunner herself but also listens to her patients and prefers a less is more approach. This is extremely important because while fillers can be “broken down”, the formula used to break down the hyaluronic acid cannot differentiate between your own natural hyaluronic acid and the filler itself. So it’s a massive disservice, in the case, to go “big or go home”. Less is definitely more. Dr Clare Neser uses a blunt cannula to gently sculpt the areas she applies the filler. Prior to that, there is plenty of numbing and local anaesthetic so you won’t feel a thing. I did have a tiny bit of bruising but that was my fault as I’d taken an anti-inflammatory for a mega migraine a few days before.

    The main question I receive is “Can you feel the filler” and this is sort of a yes and a no answer. Perhaps in one’s lips, it is more noticeable but after two days I completely forgot about the fillers and they felt a part of my face. I love the way my profile looks but I would as I said add a tiny bit more filler to my chin next time. For someone who suffers from a weaker chin though this is fantastic and an easy, safe way to achieve a more structured look. As with all injections/piercing of the skin, it is important to not apply makeup straight after as one could develop an infection but this is highly unlikely. Especially when you go to a pro!

    Dr Clare Neser was more than happy to answer all my questions as well as many which you sent through to my Instagram but it if you have any further than feel free to ask.

    It was such a relief to not only finally be back i It was such a relief to not only finally be back in Cape Town, well above it. But also being able to look down & see the beauty of probably the best road to drive in South Africa- Clarence Drive. 

We’d been stuck in #Durban after the airline overbooked flights for 3 days ahead. We even had to “sleep” overnight, I couldn’t sleep, at the airport. We were stuck there for over 19 hours. As there were “so many” potential chances for Standby flights….

    I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to I've posted about us introducing Candi & Rocco to the new #BossMightyChunks range from @bossdogfood over the past month. This particular post is about health. 

About just how important your animal's health is as your own.
These furry little souls keep me going. They kept my spirits up throughout the medical challenges I faced last year. Seeing them was bliss.

The first two are from last week when I re-purchased their new favourite tasty meals. They actually recognised the cans! Queen Candi wanted to make sure "her" food was protected. You can see poor Rocco pleading. It wasn't even supper time yet. 
Our dogs mean so much to us. They are our children. They are on a par with a human toddler in terms of neediness. We admittedly do spoil them a bit too much. However, their well-being is something we have always made sure as all dog parents is a priority. 

They never miss their annual health checkups with any potential issues treated immediately. You may know that last year was a challenging time for me health-wise. It was such a difficult period for my partner & beloved fur-babies. 

Some of the more serious ones included being diagnosed with a second rare chronic illness, 3rd person in South Africa. Also cardiac issues & complications (another rare disease) and then a mini-stroke & more. On top of that, just two days after my final life-saving surgery. 

Richard and the dogs came close to losing their lives when our entire house burnt down. It was a huge turning point for us. We focused more on taking better care of ourselves, valuing every aspect of our lives and are beyond grateful that both dogs managed to make it out. 

I jumped at the opportunity when Boss reached out to me to try their new Mighty Chunks range. That is the dogs trying the range! Not me🤣. I will admit that for someone who doesn't eat meat, the rosemary scent is rather pleasant! 

Seeing how adding some healthy wet food like Boss Mighty Chunks that is nutrient-filled to their diet made an actual difference to their health. Agility and digestive, respectively, have again made us reevaluate the importance of health and well-being. For all of us!

    Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” Rocco & Candi have both become “Dancing Dogs” since including @bossdogfood 
Boss Mighty Chunks into their diet. I thought the thicker gravy for extra taste as a topper is the best and meatier chunks might be a bit much for Candi but she gobbles them down with delight. It’s also helped give her more energy and fewer digestive issues it seems. As an Irish Setter, Rocco is more prone to joint and flexibility issues so seeing him extra agile since including these has been a noticeable health benefit too. 

They are obviously always excited for meal time but not usually this enthusiastic!

Oh, and to purchase or for any information about the new formulation’s extra protection & health benefits then visit the link in my bio.

    The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape The past few weeks have been stressful - an escape is needed! I love Autumn but I’m craving sunny beaches and tranquility and would love it if my next holiday is somewhere exclusive. 

While daydreaming and scrolling, I spotted the incredible @clubmed La Plantation d'Albion! It offers so much! Evening activities, scuba-diving (which I haven't done and want to), a beach bar, secluded coves, a luxurious Cinq Monde Spa and adult-only Zen Zones. Oh did I mention ALL-INCLUSIVE gourmet food, an open bar plus Champagne all day! It’s relaxation heaven! 

Being all-inclusive it’s also budget-friendly which will make it easier to convince Richard to book it for us! 

So, when you make a booking (Link in Bio) tag me in your snaps to make me extra jealous!

    How does the saying go again? In the entertainment How does the saying go again? In the entertainment industry, never work with children or animals?

Well, I've discovered this was especially true tonight. I was just trying to get some snaps of Rocco & Candi testing out some of the new Boss Mighty Chunks. They are available in 3 flavours- Chicken Casserole, Grilled Steak & Lamb Stew. I've honestly never seen them this excited over a specific food before, and they already go crazy for food. 

Candi was incredibly naughty. She's usually so well-behaved. She had the audacity to climb onto the table and stuck her face into the Grilled Steak can! Just as I was setting up my camera.

As a pescatarian, dog food in general typically doesn't have the most appetising smell to me. So I was surprised that all of the Boss Mighty Chunks has a pleasant & extremely unique aromatic rosemary scent. Something both Furbabies seem to love as you can clearly see from all of the fantastic blurry tongues out & mouth-watering impatient background photos of them.
