Just been doing ivf for the last 6 weeks (did a poas this am bfn), and testing at the clinic tmr.

I've obviously not done anything beauty wise or exercise and feeling pretty blurgh.
I think we are going to book a holiday for the end of July and I'd like to look like a goddess by then!

Anyone else need a kick up the @rse and fancy joining me?

Just did a hair treatment, plucked my eyebrows and imac'd the moustache, exfoliated with my primark gloves, and reprinted my nails, and moisturised my body.

Haha! that was a typo! I repainted them.

Sounds like you're doing really well.

I've had Botox and fillers before, but not for over two years as DH and I were/are trying to get pregnant. I'd love to have it redone, but can't really risk it, just in case!

I was thinking of maybe getting my eyelashes dyed, but think i'll start with the basics first!

What are you doing next?

I'll join you too! After having DD (now 8mo) I felt a right state, flabby and unattractive with hands like sandpaper from all the hand washing. I'm now pretty much back to my old size, well maybe more of a 10-12 rather than an 10 but I'm happy! So I've bought lots of new clothes over the past few months and feel good. My hands are in much better shape now and my nails actually look lovely now. I now always put hand cream and body lotion on every day and it makes a real difference.

Last week I bought the soap and glory foot file that is raved about on here. Next on my list is to try either Last Roche Posay or Avene skincare, can't decide which one yet. And get my hair cut.

Yes the foot file is fab isn't it, I bought the soap and glory foot cream too which is also lovely.

I'm pretty happy with how I look now, post baby anyway. I had an ELCS and am happy to not really have an overhang at least. And I love being able to wear normal clothes again, although I have to stop dossing around the house in maternity yoga pants!

Oldbagwantsnewbag - what is the fruit acid peel you are using on your cholasma, is it working? I ask because I have that and am desperate to find something to improve it.

DH and I booked a holiday today leaving 2 weeks today, so I need some huge quick wins!
I've booked in with my PT for 3 sessions a week for the next two weeks.

Booked a facial, manicure and a fake tan (only coz i'm out at the w/e) this week.

Any idea what else I can do to be Bikini ready?

I will join you all. I have the 30 day shred at the ready and I'm going to give it a go in July. I spent all June eating and drinking and now feel revoltingly bloated and fat. I've done IVF too and remember how hard it is. I have a gorgeous 6 year old now though so I'm sending you my very best wishes.x

Marylou2 · 30/06/2013 20:13

Forgot to say,I'd love to have Botox so if anyone can recommend a practitioner in Cheshire I'd be grateful.

I have shred too, I could do it on the days I don't have PT... Although I know I probably won't :/
