Hi Neighbours 😊 I study Beauty Therapy at The National School of Aesthetics and am in desperate need for a model/client to come in and have free electrolysis (permanent hair removal) treatments.

This is a treatment that will permanently remove ALL HAIR TYPES unlike laser which only works successfully on medium/dark hair. I need someone who is available between the hours of 9am to 1pm for approx 1hr sessions once to twice a week ( depending on my timetable) Male or female it doesn't matter. I would prefer someone who is available during the above times on a regular basis but would also be ok if 2 or 3 people would like to share the appointments. I just need someone who's reliable and if they've had it done before and know what it entails, even better😊. Please contact me on 0273830050 or this site, if you think you're up for the challenge and want to be hair free in 2019.
Looking forward to hearing from you..........
Cheers Fiona

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.
