Do Something Great for Yourself in 2010...
This is the time of year when many New Year’s resolutions have already bitten the dust. Lots of people don’t even bother to make any, because they remember all too vividly the failures of new years’ resolutions past.
The reason the vast majority of New Year’s resolutions don’t stick isn’t that we are weak willed, it’s that we mentally process them as ‘wishes’ rather than ‘goals’.
Let me explain...read more here...

It’s all about wearing your Little Black Dress with confidence…
It’s official – the Little Black Dress (LBD) has made its triumphant return to centre stage – just in time for the Christmas party season! Truth is, the LBD didn’t really go anywhere, dresses in other colours tried to upstage it for a while, but everyone knows the LBD is THE timeless classic.
The trouble with the LBD is it can be unforgiving...read more...
This post is for the Boys…
I’ve been getting lots of questions from the boys recently, so I’m going to address some of the more common issues here…?
Quite often when one of our male patients visits us for the first time, they can feel really awkward and shy, thinking we see very few men in here.? Let’s shoot that one straight out of the park:
A massive 40% of our patients are MEN!
So why IS that? read more...
It’s all about knowing the right questions to ask…
There’s been a lot of publicity of late around the subject of selecting the right surgeon for your cosmetic procedure, and what that surgeon’s credentials should be.
I’ve had journalists call me on this subject, as there’s so much confusion out there. So I’ve outlined here what I’ve told them in the following 8 points…

My Own Liposuction Story
When we got our lovely new Vaser in the clinic, I went along to see the surgeons training with their visiting surgeon trainer who had come from the U.S.
Guess what? The last ‘model’ for the day got delayed, and couldn’t make it on time. The surgeons needed one last case to do, otherwise the course wouldn’t be finished, and they wouldn’t get their Certificates of Completion that day. The training surgeon was going back to the U.S. that evening, so this wasn’t looking too good.
I heard myself say “That’s o.k. guys, you can work on me”.

Price Shopping
I’m going to talk about something that’s really bothering me today…Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had several telephone calls from people ‘price shopping’ laser hair removal. It’s not people looking for a bargain that’s concerning me (I LOVE a bargain the same as the next gal), these people are telling me about a really low quote they’ve got from a prominent laser clinic here in Dublin. The price they’re quoting is for a course that will take the best part of a year to complete.
Here’s the problem.

5 Reccession Buster Beauty Tips!
Thanks to all the people who wrote back to me telling me they were fed up too with all of the gloom and doom we’ve been bombarded with over the past few weeks.
Sandra Walsh from Blessington emailed me to tell me me she swears by CRYSTAL body deodorant stick she got in The Health Store here in Dundrum Town Centre. Apparently it costs the same as a regular deodorant, but it’s lasted her more than 9 months (and still going strong), it’s chemical free and it actually works!
So here’s my own 5 best beauty tips on a budget:

Save money with 3 easy steps!
I was away last weekend with my boyfriend and his parents, and for the entire weekend I had everyone in my ear going on and on about how terrible the whole economic situation is. I felt like I was listening to the story of the chicken telling the world the sky is falling down. Enough Already! Ok, the banks are in a mess, my pension is worthless and the stock market is in free fall, but does this mean I have to go around being miserable? I’m standing up and saying NO!

‘Fixing’ Cosmetic Issues
My job at Dundrum Medical Cosmetic Clinic is to advise would-be patients on their options when they come to me with their cosmetic concerns. But what I’ve found over the years is that when people email me or come in to talk to me, they’re usually pretty confused about what they can do to ‘fix’ their cosmetic issues. Often they’re downright scared. They’ve seen or read horror stories of things that can go wrong, and they are desperate to know what the real risks are.You’d think it would be easy to find clear, jargon free information explaining what your options are. NOT:(
So I’ve been on a mission for the past few months to produce clearly written, jargon free reports on the topics that seem to confuse people the most. These are:
