I Want Botox......so what!

I make no secret of the fact that I love makeup and skincare. I have always loved it, I love the way you put makeup on and it disguises imperfections, you can achieve different looks and it makes me feel good. Not only does it make me feel good but I also really enjoy putting it on, for me it's like a ritual.........therapy some might say. There is not a day that goes by that I don't wear makeup and more so these days I wear a full face of it (by full face I mean light foundation, highlighter, bronzer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrow pencil and lip gloss). Now you may wonder how the hell I get time too do this but I simply make time. I have got applying my day to day makeup down to a fine art and can have my face done within 20 minutes. When I go out I do spend longer on it but generally 20/30 minutes is all I need to apply it on a morning. You might be curious to why I bother, am I completely insecure or something like that and perhaps I am but ever since I was a teenager I have fallen in love with makeup and I love buying it. Makeup is probably one of the things I splurge on, I very rarely buy high street brands these days and do tend to favour the high end brands and I justify this as I don't spend my money on much else other than clothes and the kids!

However, lets face it there is only so much that makeup can correct and cover. As I am now well into my (erghhhh) 32nd year I am becoming more and more aware of my skin and it is ageing. I hate it. There are days when I look in the mirror and I'm examining every single little frown line, wrinkle and furrow that I can see appearing on my face. It's so frustrating, I cleanse, I tone, I moisturise and use eye cream these days (definitely a sign that I'm getting on a bit) and although I think I'm pretty lucky with my skin and it's overall appearance I know that these little, pesky lines I see are going to be sticking around for a while.



I reckon if you ask any woman and possibly man there would be something that they would want to change about themselves. Nose, boobs, bum, cheeks, belly.......you name it I bet there is something and with the medical advances these days practically anything is possible. If I had the choice, without a doubt I would opt for mammoplasty (breast reduction), lipo or botox. For as long as I remember I have wanted a boob job, well a boob reduction to get rid of my big old boobies and replace them with some nice little pert ones........not so lucky really and I've just learned to life with them (even though after 2 kids they resemble deflated beach balls) but oh I would love to know what having a perky pair would be like! The chances of me ever having enough money to buy myself the perfect pair is extremely unlikely so in my quest to change my bod I would probably go for the option that I can afford which would be botox (for anyone who isn't sure what this is, these are wrinkle smoothing injections by relaxing the muscles that cause lines to appear over time).

Over the last couple of years I have been fascinated by botox and the results that can be achieved with it. I am seriously considering giving it a go. When I've mentioned this to a few people some people have looked at me in disbelief.......why would I want to inject my face with something......but why wouldn't I if it could make me look more youthful and reduce my wrinkles?! Of course it isn't for everyone and it is a big thing in celebsville but I have seen the effects and I'm impressed and would love to have some myself, I would also quite fancy training in being able to administer it also, I've never considered nursing in the cosmetic surgical field but I bet it would be pretty interesting. 

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with wanting to improve yourself of making yourself feel a bit better about yourself for a confidence boost. Of course, my wishes might be slightly different to the next person and what is right for me might not be for someone else. I would only ever want to make small changes but things I feel would make a big impact on my life. Of course, considering something so major as cosmetic surgery should not be taken lightly and alot of thought should be considered before committing. That is why if you decide to go ahead with a cosmetic procedure the folk at the Hospital Group are on hand to answer any questions and queries you may have. With surgeons that are specialists in their field and highly qualified staff you can be sure that you are truly being looked after.

I'm sure that I can't be the only one who would like to make some major changes, so come on.......fess up, if you could have some cosmetic surgery what would it be?

* Collaborative Post - this may be collaborative but I do genuinely want botox!

  1. I enjoy applying make-up though lately I just can't seem to get it right (must be pregnancy)! Not going to lie, I'd love a boob job after having tiny ones my whole life! 😂 #bestandworst

  2. BOOB job for sure hun! I have even talked about it post children. But then I worry as it is major surgery lol. I don't think there is anything too wrong with wanting Botox, as long as you go with someone safe and don't go loads...why not? xx

  3. Insert obligatory "you're lovely as you are" statement here...but I totally get where you're coming from. The feeling of needing a little extra help definitely increases with age! I would have: Botox on eye wrinkles, a nose job, and an entire foot transplant. Just to start with ��

  4. If I had the money, I'd have it all. Starting with botox, it's on my wish list. I just don't know why whenever I mention it, everyone is so aghast. I'm not gonna start investing in it on a monthly basis, I just wanna give it a whirl and see what happens! Let me know how you get on if you do have it but you don't need it! #bestandworst xx

  5. I'm debating it too! My forehead is definitely more creased but I get a crease between my eyebrows from squinting in the sun which I'm very tempted to have removed. I've also had two boobs jobs and not ashamed to admit it..although they're knackered right now!!! #bestandworst

  6. I'm all for improvement.. if you can fix it then why not?! Botox is not for me though, not that I have seen anything go wrong or anything like that, all my friends have it, some started in their 20's which I thought was not really needed, it's just never something that appealed to me. I did have a reduction and uplift on my boobs when our 2nd daughter was about 5 months old, I hated my boobs with a passion and now I like them again lol - although after more than a decade since I had them done they are rather large again, but still fairly pert and my nipples are facing the right direction instead of south haha... I think, if you want to do something and you can, then go for it. #bestandworst

  7. It's a personal choice. I don't really want cosmetic surgery at the moment but may one day? #bestandworst

  9. My Friend got her breasts done at Hospital Group and had lip fillers done elsewhere..she raved about hospital groups customer service etc, lip filler providers not much but then again there are so many people those things these days. I love to get my belly and chin done...le sigh, Its the one place where I put all of my weight on, sniffles! X

  11. A very good friend of mine has had a couple of courses of botox and swears by it. Personally I think you look fantastic, but it's all about how you feel, and if this is something that would give you confidence and happiness then why not!

  12. This is definately a thought provoking post....I'm fortunate that wrinkles haven't really taken a hold in my 31 and something months face although I do quite often feel like I look haggard and tired thanks Logan lol! I used to have a nice pair of pert 36B boobs then I had Logan and they went up to at 38DD and I love the size and the fullness of them while I was prenant and now I'm left with slightly smaller post pregancy but bigger than pre pregancy boobs that feel like empty sacks of skin. So If I could Id have a boob job either just to lift them a little or to make them ever so slightly fuller. And maybe something to make the skin on my face look less haggard and more youthful. lol, not too mucht. Damn you Helen making me think about what I'd have done lol I'm getting a whole list of things now. Im stopping lol. #bestandworst

  13. I'm really lucky that at 35 I look quite young and don't have many lines so I don't feel like I need botox - yet. However, later on in life if I could afford then why the hell not? If I had the money I would definately have a boob job only I would have implants as I've always hated my boobs. Infact it would be the first thing I would do.if I came into a substantial amount of money. Not gonna happen but a girl can dream. Also, I love make-up too and wear it every day. I actually wouldn't leave the house without it but then I look ill with a blare face. The only day in my life I didn't wear it (since about the age of 13) someone actually asked me if I was poorly. I was motif id and have never gone out without it since lol.

  14. Your body; your call. Interested to hear how you decide and how it goes..I am looking at 42 (!!!) and just keep slapping that moisturiser on...but will never say never!

  15. I always said I'd never get plastic surgery and just age gracefully, but then I had children and when my milk came in, a bunch of it came in under my armpit because having babies is awful, and for a few days I had this golf-ball sized lump under one arm. And after it went away, it left weird saggy armpit skin, just in one arm, that is noticeable when I wear tank tops. I quickly changed my plastic surgery tune and although I don't notice it as much any more, I'd probably get that snipped off or sucked in or whatever it is that they do with flappy skin! #bestandworst

  16. It's not for me personally. I prefer au naturel. Do what makes you happy. #bestandworst

  17. I would definitely never say never on the botox front - the needles freak me out a little, but would definitely consider it at some point. I'm the same as you and would never leave the house without my 'face on' - I don't wear much but a little makes all the difference! You have to write a post if you decide to go for it! #bestandworst

  18. Some days I don't even do make up, botox has just never appealed to me. Laser hair removal on the hairy caterpillar eyebrows and a boob job (without going under the knife) however...... #bestandworst

  19. Each to their own, in my opinion! I have no issue with anyone having whatever they want to have done. I think if something increases your confidence that can only be a good thing, surely?! I don't mind my skin, I haven't got any wrinkles yet although I have got a big bloody frown like between my brows but I kinda like it coz it shows what a moody cow I am haha!!
    I would absolutely have ALL the liposuction given half the chance though! Why bloody not! #bestandworst

  20. An interesting post. I wouldn't have any cosmetic surgery - not because I'm completely happy with my body (far from it) but for me it just seems a step too far. I understand that people want to do these things and am not of the opinion that they shouldn't, of course it is their choice.
    The lines/wrinkles on your face are a mark of age, yes, but they're also a mark of your life. Those smile lines mean that you've spent a lot of your life smiling, and why would you want to get rid of that?

  21. Good for you! You are gorgeous though hun but I understand we all have our hang-ups with ourselves that other people just don't understand. I think we would be boob twins!! Botox is a quick fix product that can sometimes be cheap (Harley on a wednesday) and if it makes you feel like a million dollars after it then there's no reason you shouldn't. I'm all for us girls feeling as fab as we can and taking care of ourselves, we deserve it. My biggest hang-up is my tummy, I can't fin ANYTHING to wear that hides my sagging baby belly and since my tummy used to be the best thing about my body, that has made me tearful quite a few times. It sounds vain, but I'm sure you understand. I will be trimming off my excess tummy on my 30th birthday! x #bestandworst

  22. I totally agree with you in this point that there is nothing wrong with making aesthetic improvements in order to age gracefully. I recently had a botox treatment from http://www.cosmedocs.com/treatments/botox-treatment.php and the results are superb.
