Question about gel nails
Hi I got a DIY gel nail kit for Christmas and I love it. If you have gel nails do you ever go back to your natural nails or do you keep the gel on all the time? Just wondering if it eventually wrecks your natural nails and if you should give them a rest occasionally. I also read a tip about putting normal glitter polish…

Getting Slimmer in 16 with Slimming World
Shiny new thread, with all the info carried over as follows:- Food Optimising is a plan for life, it is not a quick fix and you should look at weight losses over a period of time. There are no prizes for speed of weight loss. You need to commit to making changes to the food that you buy and how you cook it, because what…

Deodorant suitable for 12 yr old
Can anyone recommend one? Something gentle perhaps. Despite having showered that morning I noticed my granddaughter was definitely smelling adult-style sweaty during an exciting Christmas day family party. I'd hate her to be the object of derision at school - she's at secondary school although one of the youngest. She is…

Contact Lenses
Hello all. I mainly lurk in the finance section. Didn't realise this existed and oh, one for mobile phones as well! Excellent. Clearly, I have a lot of browsing to do. I pay £26 per month for my contact lenses. They are daily ones and they are from Specsavers. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very MSE and I didn't…

Can anyone recommend a hearing aid?
Can anyone recommend a hearing aid? Nothing too expensive. It's for a relative who's visiting from overseas.

Face Cream!
I have a significant confession to make - I have bought and spent allot of money over the years on expensive face creams. The truth of the matter is that despite spending sums amounting to around £400.00 to £500.00 per year none of it has worked! Last month I sat down with a years worth of bank statements and 'totted' up…

Any tips for a chapped nose?
Have had a cold for almost a month now and the underneath of my nose is so sore and looks bright red. I've been slapping Vaseline on the area to try to at least keep it protected from almost constant nose blowing and trying not to rub tissues when I use them but I'm not sure I'm actually stopping it getting worse let alone…

Clinique Sonic Cleansing Brush
My mum bought me one of these for Christmas. Included was a face wash, toner and moisturiser. Been using it the last few days and it seems OK. Not had any horrible breakouts so far. Was just wondering what other people think of it. Never used a cleansing brush before. So not really sure what to expect.

Sore throat - what next?
I have had a sore throat for over a year. It is worse in the mornings and has now affected my voice - I sound deeper and hoarser, particularly in the mornings. I was referred to ENT and had the camera up the nose procedure - was told I had silent acid reflux and no untoward lesions had been seen. I was prescribed…

typical wait for first ortho appointment after referral?
I asked my NHS dentist to refer me to an ortho about 3 months ago. They said they'd send the letter off that day. Initially, I just assumed I'd get an appointment letter within a few weeks, and after a month or so had passed, I thought mabe she'd forgot to send it off! I was gonna call her and chase it up and make sure she…

Front tooth bridge now loose
Hi, I had a fall a few weeks back and chipped an existing bridge that had 3 units. The dentist said that as it was 'cosmetic' I could not get a replacement done on the NHS. A private option for 3 units was £900, not at all unusual or expensive from shopping round for quotes! Anyway, I had the old one removed and in the…

Botox, Collagen & Chemical Peels
I'm considering starting my own business and wanted to ask how much people pay for these procedures? I am a registered nurse but do not have my prescribing qualification so would be reliant on finding a doctor to write the scripts. I've researched quite a bit and tried to look into insurance. From what I have found out, if…

wisdom teeth
Hello everyone. Several weeks ago, I turned up at a dental hospital due to top wisdom tooth pain. Despite being total dental *phobic*, one of the postgrad's extracted it in oral surgery later the same day. The hospital was awesome. They did find another wisdom tooth on the bottom, shown on X-ray, which is completely…
