Marketing is king. Key words like 100, 50, gold, platinum and others make certain products sell better. This applies to SPF, baby formula and everything else.

When I was in the Caribbean 2018 I treated myself to a sunscreen with SPF 100. I applied it liberally on my front and got my son to do my back.

I reapplied frequently on my front but couldn’t reach my back!!

Doing nothing is a choice. Say that again. If you don’t do anything to change your situation, you are choosing the current situation.

Finding every excuse why you can’t do
something and then complaining about how
things currently are, means you’re
choosing to stick with what you don’t like.

I’m not saying go and gamble your life savings!!!

But our world has changed PERMANENTLY.

MASKS are life.
Online shopping is life.
Working from home is life.

I am incredibly grateful to have stumbled on a way of working from home. I tap into the skills I’ve learned over the 30 years of my adult life. And I can work from my phone wherever I am.

This type of side income/gig economy is something most young adults are comfortable to be a part of.

None of it has been a waste. And I’m managing to combine the beat of both worlds to maximise my life enjoyment.

May be worth having a chat or even asking me some questions about working smarter!

Who would have ever imagined we’d be in lockdown

Who would have ever imagined we’d be in lockdown for 6 months? COVID has been tough. But there are definite silver linings for many of us.

When I was 18 I decided to become a dr.
When I was 24 I wanted to be a dermatologist.
When I was 27 and newly divorced in a new country as a single mama, I had to change gears and realize that I wasn’t ever going to be a dermatologist in my new country.
When I was 43 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and told it was terminal Stage 4.
When I was 52 I hadn’t succumbed to cancer and remain healthy!!

Moral of the story ..... plans CHANGE and we should remain flexible to how and where life takes us. No matter how old we are!

😯 My friend’s grandfather always said it’s easier to be a friend when times are easy. 🙌

🤔 But when life gets difficult, that’s when you see the stuff people are made of! 💪 🙏 I’m grateful today and always to have the most supportive friends and family. 🙏

😟 Life has been more challenging these last few years, so thank you to all of you who take my tears and my smiles 😊 alike.

🤔 Life is too short to spend ⏰ with those who no longer serve us. So for the rest, it’s about blessing them, wishing them well, and letting them go. 🦅

I TRY TO ALWAYS BLESS AND RELEASE those who no longer serve me.

BLESS because if we harbour resentment, it weighs US down rather than affecting the offending person!

❤️ Would love to know your thoughts too! 💯

Those moments when you plan to miss a zoom call. And then you join and you’re so incredibly grateful that something made you do it.

Just been on a Zoom call with @michaelcrossland. I wasn’t going to join the call. So thankful that something made me do it.

Listening to Michael with his
PATIENCE
PERSISTENCE
PERSPECTIVE
has been an incredible display of

Michael speaks about how giving without any knowledge of ever receiving, ensures that more will actually come to you.

How we can’t always prevent things happening that topple and crush us. But we always have the choice to stay down or get back up again.

We actually get to choose between being the NAVIGATOR or the VICTIM. Between staying below the line or rising above it.

So much of what Michael Crossland speaks about echoes a big piece of my adult life.

When you’re down, the only smart way is to get up and to keep getting up!

Let me know if you’ve ever decided against joining a Zoom call or going somewhere yet something changes your mind. And it ends up being the most worthwhile and thought provoking experience.

Picking the best products for your skin isn’t easy. The fact that there are so many ranges around means it really needs to be a case or ‘buyer-beware’ as it’s so easy to spend money without getting much of a benefit.

So, depending on your skin type, which regimen and products are suited to you? Take my 2 min skin quiz (link in bio) to find out! I’ll be in touch so keep an eye out for my email once you’ve done the quiz!

Is the path to success a smooth sailing journey? Heck NO!!! We know this and we teach kids that most good things require work and effort.

In other words failing is PART of success.
All the big names like Disney, Einstein, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs - even Ariana Huffington and the rest started out their careers as non successes.

They were losers.
People wrote them off as hopeless.

The difference between a successful person and one who doesn’t succeed is how quickly they give up.

Failures are the building blocks to show us what NOT to do.

Do you agree with me? I’d love to know your thoughts!!

Making life decisions when you’re 18 isn’t alw

Making life decisions when you’re 18 isn’t always the perfect way to design a happy life. Working from home isn’t something I ever considered. I was a dr working in a clinic and that’s how it’s always been.

But life got in the way and things happened that I didn’t plan for.

I also realised I was missing all the important moments with my children because I was at work.

It’s a pity that I only realised that a Plan B can actually be a Plan A if you want it to. You just have to make some tough decisions and work out what you value most!

My kids think I’m weird. Often when I arrive home, I stay in my car, listening to music, or chatting on the phone.

Not infrequently, one of my kids comes into the garage and asks why I’m still in the car.

Difficult to explain to them the peacefulness of being
IN CONTROL

before embarking on the next stage of chaos by walking into the house! 😂

Recently learnt fact for me: dehydrated skin needs moisture NOT moisturiser which contains oil!

Do you know that being attached to the outcome des

Do you know that being attached to the outcome destroys pleasure? It’s having an expectation that things will go exactly as you want or plan or hope.

Most of the time, things are dependent on other people’s thoughts, decisions (which can be random,) and so many other factors.

So we end up with wishful thinking that takes us away from enjoying what’s actually going on.

I see this in my work every day. And it’s so sad that that whether someone else decides in favour of or against something, this can determine whether we are happy. Or sad.

Cultivating the attitude that, “It will be whatever it is,” and I’ll be ok with it”, keeps us far happier!

Does this mean NEVER EVER HAVE HOPES? Absolutely not. Hoping and dreaming are essential for growth. Real growth is when we have hopes and dreams but we understand that what actually happens won’t determine our happiness or sadness.

There are basic skin types you should be aware of: normal, oily, dry/dehydrated, combination, acne-prone, sensitive and mature. And dehydrated and dry skin are NOT the same thing.

While there is an art and science behind skin care, it is definitely something we can all learn. The trick is knowing what your skin needs so that you can tailor a management to suit it. I compare skincare to baking a cake.

This is a problem I see far too often. Often many don't know their skin type and in attempt to look after their skin, use products that are actually counterproductive. When I ask someone if their skin is sensitive, often they aren’t quite sure what sensitive means.

There are seven basic skin types you should be aware of: normal, oily, dry/dehydrated, combination, acne-prone, sensitive and mature. And dehydrated and dry skin are NOT the same thing.

Often many don't know their skin type and in attempt to look after their skin, use products that are actually counterproductive. When I ask someone if their skin is sensitive, often they aren’t quite sure what sensitive means.

That’s why whenever I’m working with someone to optimise their skin, I make sure that there are no ambiguities and that my patients understanding of what ‘sensitive’ and ‘breakouts’ are exactly what I mean!

I see so many people spending a lot of money on products. But I’m pretty sure most don’t actually see any visible benefits! That doesn’t sound like spending wisely to me.

I’d love to offer you the opportunity to have a consultation with me, completely free of charge. In it we can go through your goals, your challenges and also talk about what may be helpful to really change your skin.

If this sounds like a good options, please DM me!

How often do we find ourselves telling someone els

How often do we find ourselves telling someone else how amazing they look. ‘You look young’ You look amazing’.

Interestingly, when I ask one of my patients which feature on their face is their best feature, so often they say, ‘Nothing’.

This devastates me. So often people have incredible eyes, a wide smile, a perfect nose. It doesn’t all have to be perfect but if you have 1 signature features, you’re leaps and bounds ahead!

And when my patients tell me I look good (at 52) but they don’t.....I realised that the way we look at ourselves and others is completely different.

I look at ME the way YOU look at YOU.
I look at YOU the way YOU look at ME

Let's talk about hydration. Do you drink enough water? I don’t! Did you know that dry skin is different from dehydrated skin Who knew that moisturisers aren’t the be-all and end-all for dry skin?

Simply put, we can say that a hydrator equates to water, whereas a moisturizer has more to do with oil. Dryness in your skin comes from a lack of oils. Dehydration comes from lack of water. All skin types need hydration. Dry or dehydrated skin can lead to visible dullness and flakiness.

Hyaluronic Acid is a perfect hydrator because it helps bring water to the skin’s surface using humectants. Moisturizers, on the other hand, lock the moisture in and work to protect the skin’s natural oil barrier. Keeping skin hydrated can help boost radiance, improve texture and overall smoothness.

Since hydrators and moisturizers work to address differing skincare needs, it can be beneficial to use both HA and a moisturizer separately as two different steps in your skincare routine. For best results, apply anHA serum after toner and before any moisturizers.

One of my fav products is Active Hydration Serum. (As always, if you find a comparable product, that works, please use it!)

Active Hydration Serum, is used 2x a day. It instantly raises skin’s hydration level by 200% after just one use and keeps it there for eight hours.*

Applying HA is like giving your skin a big glass of water. Another thing, HA not only provides immediate benefits to skin, it also helps the skincare products layered on top work more effectively- WIN-WIN 100%.

Do you ever wonder how we coped without amazing words like WTF WTAF and the rest?

I was brought up without swearing. Ever.

But life is so incredibly complicated in our world that I honestly don’t know how I’d get through each day without at least mouthing out some of these highly descriptive words.

And how easy has Covid-19 made it?

You can even mumble some profanity under your breath and noone will be able to see what you’re mouthing!

What other silver linings has 2020 brought you??

We can now prove your mother wrong! Vitamins don’t only come from good fresh food.

Did you know that skin needs more than a healthy diet to stay in shape!

By the time food has gone through the stomach, the amount of vitamins left in it is reduced. These vitamins are then used for essential bodily functions like the brain, growth and enzyme systems.

So there really isn’t much left over to go to the skin to improve texture and prevent lines and wrinkles!

That’s why anyone interested in hanging on to amazing skin and reducing visible signs of aging, needs to use topical Vitamin derivatives on the skin!

Fortunately now know exactly which ones really make a difference ie Vit A, B3,C and E.

Have you ever wondered how the heck you know which products actually work and which waste your money?? Scam alert!!!

I hear you! I used to have a bathroom cabinet full of mostly-unused products. I didn’t indulge in skincare- I preferred 💉 and laser because they have VISIBLE 👀 results!!

However there are products out there that over-deliver rather than over-promise!!!

Since finding one of the the holy grails of skincare, I no longer have antiwrinkle 💉 myself! At work I still inject and can’t wait to get back to work after this lockdown finishes!!!

Shoot me a DM or comment below if you’d like my help with making decisions on product selection.

Do you know that success involves failure!?? 😱

Do you know that success involves failure!?? 😱
If we’re too scared to not succeed, it’s almost impossible to succeed ✅ !

I like to think about how a 👶 baby learns to walk- with a whole lot of falling down and getting up!
And school and university are also a whole series of fear, muck ups and some wins!

Taking on new things, always has some risk of failing. But it also has some risk of succeeding 👏👏👏.

Comes down to which risk you’re willing to take! Which is a better fit for you.......fear of failing or are you brave enough to try to 🙌🏻 succeed?

It was once said that "Gratitude is a powerful cat

It was once said that "Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness."

I DIDN’T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS until I went through being diagnosed with cancer. I began reading about gratitude. It's kind of flavor of the month or year.

What I’ve discovered is that gratitude isn’t an airy-fairy thing that people who sit in a circle singing kumbaya do. It actually has an effect on our brains.

When we express gratitude and receive the same, our brain releases dopamine and serotonin, the two crucial neurotransmitters responsible for our emotions, and they make us feel 'good'. They enhance our mood immediately, making us feel happy from the inside.

By being aware and even opportunistic to find ways to feel grateful each day, we encourage these neural pathways to strengthen and ultimately create a permanent grateful and positive nature within ourselves.

One thing I am so grateful for is that my patients trust me to help them achieve their medical and aesthetic goals. Our face is our most important real estate and I feel honored to be able to share in the ageing journey of so many people.

Do you find yourself replying to a message or having an intense need to reply even when you’re with someone else?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I battle with this!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And I hate it when I’m with someone and they suddenly say....., “Just give me a minute. I need to reply”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not sure why we all figure the person on the phone or watch is more important than who were with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking at what actually happens in our bodies when this occurs, it’s similar to an addiction. We get a dopamine surge when we get a notification and reply straight away. It’s the instant gratification thing! Like a gambling win.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And the addiction grows causing us to check our phones and social media often!!!

You might have your skincare down pat, but is it a

You might have your skincare down pat, but is it actually serving you and not working against you? This is worth a bit of time thinking it through.

I know I didn’t used to believe that JUST skincare can actually make a difference. I used good products and knew in my head that they were good for my skin. But I didn't actually ever see results. SO I actually gave up and didn’t bother.

That was until my skin was so badly burned from a HIFU treatment at a dermatologists clinic, that I developed permanent scarring. Being a smart person, I accepted that I’d asked for the treatment and lay there suffering through the pain of it. So I had to (wo)man up and deal with it.

Imagine my surprise when 10 months into a new skincare program, where I expected NOTHING, I realised that the scarring had become barely visible! And its been on the improve ever since.

This got me thinking and questioning why all products don’t manage to achieve the same results.

My thoughts…….it’s like baking a cake but only having the ingredients rather than the method, times and over temperature.

All those little things add together to determine whether the outcome is reproducible or not.

By answering a few simple questions about you and your skin type, you will receive a customised individualised recommendation. The link is in bio.

We tell kids, “You can do it! Give it a go”. “What’s the worst that can happen?” As adults we are way more fearful and don’t like doing things we may not be good at 😩.

I am an introvert by nature. Super quiet. People have often used me like a doormat.

Then breast cancer happened. I was fighting for my life. I had to find my voice.

Next up, my child became very unwell. And mama bear had to become a lioness 🦁 protecting her cub. I had to become the voice 🎺 for advocating and standing up for my child. Being a quiet introvert was NOT an option.

Over the past 9 years I can see how much I’ve changed. I realised ages ago that I was growing motherf*#er balls to replace the breasts that I gladly removed to save my life 💪🏻. My boobs had become my enemy and were trying to kill 🔫 me!!

It’s crazy to look back and see how out of bad can come good. How things you hate can bring amazing things 🙌🏻.

The girl who lacked confidence needed to go through tough stuff to make her into who she always could have been.

Let me know if you’ve had bad experiences that turned out for the better.

The number one question I am asked over and over a

The number one question I am asked over and over again is: “Will treatment make me look younger?”

Face age is determined by several factors, including your genetics, environmental damage, face shape, skin quality and wrinkles and lines. Regular treatments will almost stop the clock for young people.

But in more mature age people, it’s far more than JUST skin that is impacted by getting older.

Most people are shocked to hear that bone size actually reduces with aging. That's why we get shorter but also why we get skin sagging. SO we end up with a mismatch with too much skin for the bone that supports it.

That’s why with mature aged skin, treatments will SOFTEN the signs of ageing and present a more refreshed look, rather than eradicate the signs of ageing.

It’s really important to find an injector who really understands this. Otherwise you risk looking strange when 30 year old lips are placed on a 50 year old face. I’m sure you’ve seen the look.

I’d love to answer your questions regarding ageing and treatment options 👇👇👇

Breast cancer was the thing I needed. I feel like

Breast cancer was the thing I needed. I feel like a weirdo saying this, but it’s true.

I was a workaholic single mama with kids with special needs. I put my work before everything. That’s what happens at medical school. They crush you and rebuild you into a machine.

I wouldn’t have stopped had I not been gifted with cancer. And told it was caught too late.

My child even said at the time, “God gave us cancer to help us”. Out of the mouths of babes.

I needed a rude awakening so I could be ready to help my special needs family. It had to be something that stopped me! Something BIG. Like stage 4 cancer.

Now that I’ve survived 9 years, I can see how this awful experience opened my mind and heart up to things I wouldn’t have ever considered previously.

• I work from my phone.
• When I want to.
• Where I want to.
• How much I want to.

Without cancer I would’ve thought I was too good, too qualified and too above what I’m doing now.

But in an amazing way, I’m actually helping more people than I could have in my dr rooms!!

There truly are silver linings in life!! Even if we don’t see them at first!

Spring is less than 2 weeks away. And for us, that

Spring is less than 2 weeks away. And for us, that means there is no excuse not to be wearing SPF.

So many people dislike the feeling of sunscreen. The other massive issue is that the protection only lasts a few hours ie applying in the am means by lunchtime it isn’t protecting you any more.

Wearing makeup means reapplying becoming a massive nuisance. So we don’t do it.

However, if I were to let you in on a few of my little secrets that make wearing SPF a pleasure rather than a pain, let me know if it would be worth a try.

I have 2 massive favs in this department.

The RECHARGE Protect + Blur Broad Spectrum SPF includes defence against visible signs of stress for your healthiest-looking skin, while reducing the appearance of shine and visible redness. But most importantly, this 2-in-1 primer + sunscreen disappears into skin to provide 100% mineral UVA/UVB protection.

Couple this with Radiant Defense. Why??? Because more than 7 out of 10 people think it’s better than makeup*. Traditional makeup, BB creams and tinted moisturisers can weigh skin down, causing dullness and breakouts. But Radiant Defense looks like makeup but acts like skincare. It contains skin-loving antioxidants so it not only looks good on you, it’s good FOR your SKIN. And it comes in 10 flexible shades which you can build for the level of coverage that works best for you.

So while you’re PROTECTING you’re also PERFECTING your skin.

Are you someone who thinks that when someone else

Are you someone who thinks that when someone else is mean, you must have done something wrong to cause them to be mean??

I used to be that girl.

However with the benefit of hind sight, I can now see that what most people do, has very little to do with anyone else! It’s more about what’s going on for the mean person.

Maybe someone yelled at them.
Maybe they’re stressed.
Maybe their level of insight into the world is limited by beliefs they have.

And in all likelihood, they do t even realise that they’re being mean!

Some people have a narrow view of themselves and the world. And they see things from the viewpoint of issues belonging and being caused by everyone else.

They tend to blame other people for things.

You did this.
You said that.
It’s your fault.

Please.......try to stop worrying about what you did. This is a problem with THEM! Not YOU!!

Do you know any blamers?

The more aware of this you become, the happier you’ll be. 💯 % #truth

You know when you’re referred to as “X’s mot

You know when you’re referred to as “X’s mother” ?? You kind of lose your identity! Since becoming a mother, have you stopped thinking about what YOU want in life? Because your kids matter more than you?

My heart goes out to you because society makes us mums, who are ambitious, who want to further our careers, who have more purpose in our hearts - to feel selfish for thinking about themselves. Just like if breastfeeding doesn't work... we are made to feel guilty!

I was EXACTLY like this. My life was my kids. But I used to tell my patients that kids need their mum more than the mum needs the kids. And to afford what my kids needed, I worked like a madman. This meant I missed out on so many good bits. Going on school trips, doing reading groups, swimming carnivals and all the rest.

What I didn’t know……. there are options. You may need to be flexible. To have a plan B. Or C. You may need to compromise a bit on both fronts. But you CAN have both. ⁣

It may need to be NOT EXACTLY what you’d dreamed of……...but GOOD ENOUGH to allow you to have a bit of column A and a bit of column B.

I wish I’d known that shades of grey do exist and it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. How do you balance the roles of motherhood and being your own person?

Think about when you were a kid. You were told, “You can do it”. “Just do it”. “You’ll be fine”.

Fast forward to adult life.
We come up with all the reasons why we can’t do things. And we never admit that it’s all fear based.

So we miss out on so much because we stay exactly in our comfort zones. Glued down to the comfort zone. Even if it isn’t super comfortable.

Let me know if you’re comfortable being UNCOMFORTABLE.

Are you brave and bold enough to say,
“F#*k it. I’ll do it anyway”. “What’s the worst that can happen”.

Change is never easy. But it’s often worth it.

Hands up if you’re a fur mumma! One of the many

Hands up if you’re a fur mumma!

One of the many perks of my work - getting to work from home with my furry bestie. Some days I even work from bed because that's her fav place to snuggle!

Lockdown has been tough for all of us, but what has been your favourite thing about working from home?
