bride’s unusual wedding dream

A horse, a golf buggy, and a chicken burger: how one bride’s unusual wedding dream became a reality

 

From a young age, little girls the world over dream of their perfect wedding day, yet few are given the opportunity to live out their childhood wedding fantasy to the T. But Jade Collin, from Kirk Ireton, did just that.  

 

After a Hollywood-style proposal, where fiancée Tom wrote ‘Marry Me?’ in the sand during a weekend away in Whitby, followed by an 18-month engagement, on 27 August 2016, Jade, who works as a finance assistant in Castle Donington, finally tied the knot with friend of 10 years and beau of four, Tom Collin.

Korean beauty... How to incorporate this 10 step skincare regime into your life

skin rejuv. system

The 10-step Korean skincare regime sounds more onerous than it is and is actually the basis of a great skincare routine. Following it everyday will ensure that you have great skin, that is thoroughly cleansed, hydrated and treated, protecting it from ageing and environmental aggression. I also believe it’s a great idea to book a course of facials to enhance the benefits so that you have glowing, radiant and rejuvenated skin.

The concept is quite simple and you may find you are doing most of it already. If you follow a nightly routine of eye make-up removal, double cleanse and tone, serum/concentrate, eye cream, lip product, moisturise, with a weekly exfoliate and mask – you are already achieving the 10 steps renowned in Korean beauty.
