EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Image
With summer around the corner, it's no surprise if you're looking at hair removal options that are the most effective and efficient.  Shaving? Only last like 2 days and leaves you with the worse stubble. Waxing? Lasts a week which is great but then you have to wait another 2 or 3 weeks for the hair to be long enough to wax again - which means 2 or 3 weeks of hairy legs. So not cool for summer beach days. There are other options like tweezing, threading and sugaring but these are more for specific areas like brows.  As you can tell from the title of this post, we're going to look specifically at laser hair removal . I gave laser hair removal a try 2 years ago but I messed up one fundamental thing - you need to be consistent with it . I started it again a few months ago and this time I'm hoping to go all in.

Wouldn't it be even better to have a huge comfy seat that you can make yourself comfortable in, be able to recline in your seat and have a more intimate cinema experience ?

THE HUSSAR GRILL - RESTAURANT REVIEW

Image
When it comes to steak houses I can be as picky as the next person. You want your steak to be extra juicy and just the right texture , right? I was recently invited to experience a meal at Hussar Grill - regarded as one of the premium grill rooms in South Africa - a restaurant I've had my eye on for a while, and decided to give their steak a try. They have branches throughout the country and I tried out the Hussar Grill in Gateway, Durban. Location The restaurant is located at Gateway Theatre of Shopping in Umhlanga, Durban . Being located in Gateway Boulevard with so many restaurants around, it takes a special restaurant to stand out and Hussar Grill does just that.  Here is a list of all the branches:  Western Cape: Camps Bay, Durbanville, Franschhoek, George, GrandWest, Mouille Point, Paarl, Rondebosch, Somerset West, Steenberg, Stellenbosch, Willowbridge, Worcester Gauteng: Midrand - Waterfall, Montecasino, Morningside, The Grove KZN: Gateway, Kloof ...
