Essentially, the O2 facial is everything you would normally receive in a facial, but along with cleansing, massage and exfoliation, the aesthetician will also take a magic wand that blows fast oxygen into your tired, clogged pores. This feel-good technique gives skin a beautiful glow and is a great option for when you want immediate results for say, a wedding or high school reunion. _ -www.shedoesthecity.com_

The ultimate multi-tasker – that’s what I’m known as. Another more realistic term would be workaholic. I’m programmed to create and dialed in to achieve. Throw in a couple of cute kids and hubby into the mix and I’m running on overload. – Yummy Mummy Club
