Hi, has anyone trained in make up with house of glam dolls? I've followed them on Instagram for a while but before I book the course is like to know if it's worth it. I've already done a little one day course which taught me basics but that's it really. I'd like some more in depth education...

I've been persevering with waxing my legs for the past 5 months. And I'm so disappointed. I've tried 3 different salons and every time i get home and notice not a few but literally loads of hair that has been missed (so I need to use wax strips to get rid of the rest myself) Is that normal? Am...

Long story short we were hoping to buy a house this year. But I saw a fab groupon last night and my partner of 10 years and I decided what the heck now or probably never as we probably would never be able to afford it otherwise so we bought it. It includes venue hire for day and evening...
