Belle & Elegance

My first week back at work on a phased return is complete and it has been so lovely to be back doing what I love.

Seeing my wonderful clients again, catching up on life, and picking up where we left off has been the perfect way to ease back into work. This week I’ve been completely overwhelmed by the kindness shown towards me during my recovery. Flowers, cards, well wishes, and even a big homemade strawberry tart wow! I am so grateful and truly appreciate every message, gesture and word of support.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll continue with a phased return as I feel I’ve found a happy balance of appointments whilst still allowing my body the time it needs to recover. For now, I’m focusing on brow, lash and microneedling appointments only as I ease myself back into work. Facials will start returning to the diary over the next couple of weeks as my new treatment bed is arriving sooner than expected.

For those waiting for facial appointments, these will start flowing back into the diary soon. I’m also aware that I still have facial enquiries sitting in my inbox and I promise I’ll be responding as soon as possible. Between returning to work and recovery, I’ve been taking things one day at a time.

Thank you all for your patience, support and understanding. It means more than you know.

*And apparently recovering from surgery and returning to work wasn’t enough excitement, naturally I had to order new FIGS scrubs too.

It’s good to be back,
Love Bella.

Have you missed me?

Well… surprise.
I’m actually looking to return back to work slightly earlier than originally planned as thankfully my recovery from my surgery has been going really well so far.

Honestly, where have the last 4 weeks even gone since I logged off work life.
It feels like two minutes ago I was packing my case for Lithuania and now suddenly I’m sitting planning my phased return back to work already.

After such a life changing surgery and a full reset from normal busy life, I’m coming back feeling full of fresh energy, good vibes and completely recharged.

I genuinely feel the best I have in a very long time mentally and physically and although recovery is still very present. I’m SO excited to slowly ease myself back into work and see all my lovely clients again.

I’m planning a phased return starting next week just to see how my body manages easing back into work life again.

For the first week back (w/c 1/6) I’ll only be opening limited appointments for:
• Brows
• Lashes
• Microneedling

At the moment I don’t think my body would thank me for resetting the bed for full facial treatments just yet.
The core strength may still be missing but thankfully my love for my work and client catch ups definitely isn’t.

Changing bedding and lifting still isn’t really an option right now while I continue healing and taking things easy.

From the 8th June onwards I’m hoping to slowly introduce limited facial appointments back in,possibly one facial an evening to begin with while I find my feet again.

I’ve also upgraded to an electric beauty bed to help make life easier for both myself and my lovely clients during recovery, although slight fail on my behalf because it doesn’t arrive for another few weeks so for now we improvise and make do.

If you’d like booked in over the next couple of weeks, please direct message me on here.

The online diary system will remain offline for the foreseeable while I ease myself back into work and see how recovery goes.

Honestly, I cannot WAIT to see my client family again.I feel like we have A LOT to catch up on, so much change can happen in 4 weeks !

Love,
Bella xo

O F F - L I N E

I have now travelled to Lithuania (been travelling since Saturday) ahead of my upcoming surgery and will be taking some time away from all things work during my time here and back home to focus on my recovery.

During this time, I will not be responding to any work-related messages or enquiries. I won’t be responding to messages during this time, and will reply once I’m home, settled, and ready to return to work.

At present, I am planning a phased return from w/c 22nd June, however this may change depending on my recovery.

I will post an update when my June, July and August diary opens for booking (brow and lash treatments).

Skin clients will be contacted separately to arrange appointments.

I also want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to my clients who have been checking in and for all the kind messages, chocolates, flowers and well wishes over the past couple of weeks it truly means so much. I actually brought my cards with me and waited until I arrived at the apartment to open them, which made it feel even more special being able to read them here.

For those who have asked to follow along, I do have a private Instagram page where I’ll be sharing a little more of my journey while I’m away, this is available to female clients who wish to follow -

I kindly ask for your patience during this time and ask that all enquiries are held until my return.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

“A skin specialist’s thoughts on a viral skincare device”

Alongside my BioRePeel skin journey, I’ve been back to being consistent with my LED light therapy after falling off the bandwagon for a while and l’ve also started trialling the Medicube Booster Pro Device.

You may notice in the video my eye and lip twitching slightly, this is the muscle-stimulating mode working, causing the muscles to contract and release in real time. Completely normal, especially in smaller, more reactive areas like around the eyes and mouth.

So far, I’d place it around a 7/10 overall. The muscle stimulation is a nice addition, but the booster mode is where it really stands out for me in terms of supporting product absorption.
If it’s good enough for Hailey Bieber... who am I to not try it?
As much as I love trialling new devices (and yes... I am a sucker for anything trending), this will never replace professional treatments or a structured skin plan.
But used correctly, it can be a great addition.

Is the Age-R Booster Pro worth it?
Multi-functional devices like this can come with a higher price point, but the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro sits at around £200.00 which is comparable to many tools that only offer microcurrent.

I also have to say... I LOVE how my make up is sitting on my skin right now.
I use ILIA Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 30 and this is exactly what’s on my skin here, it’s going on so much smoother and just looks healthier overall.

Dewy finish? Yes, always. Obsessed.
