I think a Chelsea boot is a staple for any wardrobe I love to wear them with skinny fit jeans and dresses. The Emilio Luca X  Ankle Boots would fit into my wardrobes perfectly. The size of the heel is ideal for everyday wear and I can imagine me getting a lot of wear out of these. 

These Lotus Madisyn Ankle Boots have to be my favourite I love the 2 types of material on the boots it just gives them that little bit extra. I heart this shade of brown and teamed up with a matching dark tan bag will pull an outfit together perfectly. I like to have 2 different colour boots in my wardrobe to chop and change my outfit look.

Brantano have a huge selection of womens shoes and boots what is your favourite choice of footwear?

Have you heard about the laser hair remover you can use at home? I hadn't, I thought this type of hair removal could only be done professionally. 

How to use 

I was surprised at how easy it was to use. I read the instructions and a couple of minutes later I was doing the patch test. 

I love the fact the device is locked until it tests that your skin is a suitable shade preventing any damage being done to you skin. 

Once I held the bottom of the device over my skin the device unlocked and I was ready to use. I applied the Tria Calming Gel and set the intensity setting to 3 using the button on the top and off I went. 

I used on my legs and underarms as these are the bits I feel like constantly needs shaving. I couldn't feel any pain on my legs but the underarms I did feel some. It wasn't unbearable and over time this became less and less. 

Now I am a natural dark blonde hair girl and didn't realise until after I used the product that it may not be suitable. So some of my hairs where too light for this to work. My leg hairs are so much lighter than my underarms and I think this is why there was no pain. 

It took me about 35 mins to do both legs and my underarms so longer than shaving but if it going to stop having to shave in future months I was all for it.

The Results

So has I previously mentioned my hair is naturally a dark blonde so I wasn't expecting the best results. Having said that my legs are definitely less hairy than they were 3 months ago but I can't give up shaving just yet.

I have to say though I really impressed with the reduction of hair growth on my under arms I would say it has easily reduced by half and I think my aiming may have missed a few spots so i may be hair free in a few more months.

Because I didn't think this was a fair trial due to my hair being the wrong shade I also got my sister to try has she has naturally dark brown hair. She has only used the device 2 times on her lower legs and she too has already seen an improvement.


All in all I'm impressed with the Tria 4X and hopefully soon shaving my underarms will become a thing of the past! Damn you dark hair girls who can get totally hair free bodies without the need to shave or monthly waxing treatments as does anyone really enjoy doing this.

Ill update you in a few months time to let you know if I'm totally hair free and how my sister is reacting to it too

The masterclass itself Lasts an hour to an hour an half and included in the package is a glass of prosecco, 2 cocktails and some amazing bar snacks. There is also a chance to go behind the bar and show off your own cocktail making skills. The food was absolutely delicious and at £29.95 per person for groups under 10 and an amazing £20 for groups of 10 or over, you should really check them out. 

What I love about the Firelake Bar is that the drinks can be tailored to you. Each classic cocktail can be transformed to something you like by adding passionfruit puree or strawberry syrup. I told him exactly what flavours I liked and the spirt and he made me an amazing drink.
