I KISSED AN APPRENTICE AND I LIKED IT.
I KISSED AN APPRENTICE AND I LIKED IT.
https://www.elite-aesthetics.co.uk Gorgeous Selina Waterman Smith with Doctor Shirin Lakhani |
LOVE HER OR HATE HER, there can be no other contestant in the history of The Apprentice who has sparked more controversy than the stunning 32-year-old Selina Waterman-Smith.
The petite, curvy blonde refused to do the spin-off show, You’re fired! after leaving The Apprentice, accusing the producers of the hit BBC series of portraying her unfairly.
Adopting the attitude “Don’t get mad, get even,” she instead opted to give her own version of events in an online video for her growing social media fanbase.
Since then, the Dubai-based businesswoman has become a tabloid darling, with The Mail n Online scrambling to snap her curves on exotic beaches around the world. With regular appearances on shows such as Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, her outspoken views are in big demand – there’s even a rumour of an appearance in the Jungle later this year.
Selina on last years The Apprentice |
When I meet the five foot one inch reality star on a sunny day in London, she’s about to undergo two cosmetic procedures at the hands of celebrity doctor Shirin Lakhani. Rather than the podium dancing hell-raiser portrayed in the media, she has a gentle charm and seems a little nervous.
Is this her first aesthetic procedure, I ask. “No, though my breasts are my own,” she says, clasping her ample chest. But she’s nervous because the one time she did have work done – her lips – it ended in disaster. “I should always go with my gut feeling. If I did, I wouldn’t get into so much trouble,” she laughs.
She decided to have her lips enhanced in Dubai two years ago. "They weren’t bad but I just wanted to add a little more to them and even them out.”
Selina Gives the thumbs down to her old lips. |
Right away she felt the doctor was not on the same page her. After several painful injections with what looked like overly-large needles, her lips were left swollen and bruised. They turned purple in colour but the doctor assured her it was all fine and the swelling would go down.
But after two weeks of healing, her lips looked awful. Far from being evened out, they looked far worse and were lumpy to touch.
“What do you do?” she shrugs. They are still not right but, as she’s fond of saying, “Don’t get mad, get even.”
Understandably, Selina is nervous of letting anyone near her lips again, fearing further complications. But a friend recommended DrShirin and Selina is hoping the problem can finally be sorted.
Dr Lakhani took one look and knew immediately what had gone wrong - the filler had been distributed unevenly, causing the lumps and uneven look.
To rectify the problem, she could dissolve the old filler and then inject new filler, distributing it evenly this time. But Selina would have to wait two weeks for the new filler. Or she could fill the lips to even them out, as Selina was by now used to the few lumps inside her mouth.

Selina opted for the top-up filler but, recalling her last experience, was worried about the pain. Dr Lakhani assured her that the filler she would use, TEOSYAL PEN, would give a much more comfortable experience. "I am a huge fan of the pen," Dr Lakhani tells me. “It’s much less painful for my clients.”

The filler, RHA2, is also by Teosayl, which is based in Switzerland. It’s a soft filler that leaves the lips hydrated and natural looking. Selina could not get over how quickly her lips were done.
During the treatment she was aware of the pen, and found it somewhat uncomfortable in places. But she found the procedure reasonably pain free. “I almost hit the roof last time,” she tells me.
But the best ting of all was how amazing her lips looked – and without any recovery time! “They’re soft and moist-looking, you’d think I’ve got a gorgeous lip gloss on.”
Dr Lakhani is equally pleased with the result. “Much as the previous work on Selina’s lips had not been good, she does naturally have a slight unevenness to her mouth. But using the filler I was able to correct that and certainly by the second visit it should be perfect. Depending on lifestyle, it should last six months to a year.”

Selina also had a Botulinum Toxin, Azzalure, injected into her forehead. Dr Lakhani tells me that as Selina has very few lines, she was just freshening up her forehead area with a few injections. “The Azzalure seems to give quicker results in my clients. It spreads more evenly and lasts longer than most botox treatments.”
Later, as she models for a photo assignment, Selina looks wonderfully refreshed and ready to take on anyone in the boardroom. “I couldn’t be happier,” she says. “I’ll definitely be flying over to see Dr Lakhani again,” she tells me.

Wendy Turner Webster’s Top 5 Beauty
Tips
Wendy Turner presents Crafty Beggars In The House! together with Julie Peasgood and they also work together on their Ready, Steady, Craft show on Create and Craft USA.
In the UK you can catch Crafty Beggars on Community Channel – available on Sky, Virgin, Freeview etc. In fact ALL available television platforms!http://www.craftybeggars.tvhttp://www.craftybeggars.tv |
1 1 If you wear make-up every day wash
your brushes once a week using shampoo and conditioner. Cloggy brushes can
result in your make up looking cloggy and dull.
http://www.loustevens.com/the-importance-of-cleaning-your-makeup-brushes/ |
2 2 Another tip for those who wear make
up on a daily basis… at least once a week don’t put on any night cream
products. It will be one of the few chances your skin actually gets to breathe.
3 Prone to spots and blemishes? Of have
you got teenagers with skin problems? Make sure you change the pillow cases
every other night to help keep the skin clean.

4 When you moisturise, don’t forget
your neck! Amazing how easy it is just to concentrate on your face and not go
below the jawline – but it’s your neck that will age first if left to its own
devices!
5 5 If you’ve got unruly hair like mine and you’re on the go a lot it’s worth spending a few quid on a travel size hairdryer. My hair kinks and curls in all the wrong directions (especially in humid or rainy weather) and my teeny tiny hairdryer and barrel brush have often been invaluable. Of course a power socket is handy (OK, essential). Why can’t someone invent a hairdryer that runs on batteries?.

ANGIE BEST MY FIVE BEAUTY TIPS
At the age of 64, Angie Best, the former Playboy bunny, model and first wife of football legend George Best, does everything she can to stay healthy.
http://angiebest.co.uk |
Angie was scouted to move to New York to model and later moved to Los Angeles to become a personal fitness trainer.
These days she feels that she has spent far too many years worrying about beauty and wrinkles and works more on inner beauty. She has one son, Calum Best .

1. First thing in the morning I have a glass of room temperature water, with juice from a lemon squeezed in. This has far too many health benefits to list, just trust me.
http://angiebest.co.uk |
2. I don’t have tea in the morning, instead I have organic coffee with a teaspoon of organic coconut oil instead of milk. I gave up milk years ago when I discovered just what’s in it these days. The morals involved in dairy farming are not something I want to support. The coconut oil helps fight belly fat and is good for your heart.

3. Antioxidants - the anti-cancer fighters - are the reason I eat nothing but fruit til noon and also because fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach to fully utilise its nutritional value. Pomegranates are the new superfoods, along with blueberries, which are good for your brain.
4. Of course, some beauty therapies come into play like my seasonal threading because, as my hormones change, I find my hair growing in the strangest places.

5. Finally, and probably best, is my seasonal IV drip because, as my longevity doctor in the States says, ‘keep your vitamin, hormone and mineral levels up and you can get old without the negative symptoms associated with ageing’. I'm all over that.

C9 DETOX BY FOREVER BY GUEST WRITER MARIEANNE NANSON
Marieanne Nanson guest writer and international business woman try C9 detox by Forever
Doing the C9 detox by Forever
Marieanne Nanson relaxes in France . https://foreverliving.com |
After a couple of hectic and not so great months in Dubai, I found myself over indulging with too much junk food and white wine. As a result, I started to feel sluggish and the insomnia that I had managed to overcome returned to haunt me.
At times I was just not thinking straight and when I realised my concentration was suffering, I knew it was time to clean up my act.
I looked at several options and a good friend told me about C9. Much as it came highly recommended, I wasn’t at all convinced that fad diets or magical potions would hack it for me.
Marieanne Nanson night on the town with Steven Smith |
But then I bumped into a girlfriend who, like me, loves to party. She looked wonderful! She revealed that she’d been using C9 to detox and felt like a completely new woman. So I thought ‘what the hell, I’ll give it a go.’
So, here is my Detox Diary.
Day 1 and 2
For breakfast, aloe vera and one protein shake – it’s not as bad as it sounds, honest! There is also a long list of "free foods" - fruit and veg – that you can eat in moderation during the first two days.
Day 2 is the toughest day but, once you’re through that, it's really quite simple to stick to. I did not feel great on the second day, which is often the way when toxins are leaving your body. But it’s really important to stick with it at this point – the worse you feel, the more your body obviously needs the detox!
On a brighter note, I slept for 11 hours on Day 2, something I haven’t done since I was a teenager. I woke up on Day 3 feeling better than I have in years.
Days 3-9
You can have two shakes on these days, the aloe Vera and one 600-calorie meal. So it's not a starvation plan, but you must eat wholefoods – no processed foods, no bread, no sugars.
There are lots of menus but I found it simpler to make a pan of chicken soup with the free vegetables and eat that for three of the days, as it was healthy and filling.
https://foreverliving.com |
The friend who detoxed with me came up with lots of interesting vegetarian options using quorn and quinoa pasta (something I didn't know existed but actually tastes the same as normal pasta). I started to feel more awake, my brain cleared and my sleep became a regular 7-8 hours.
Ready to get back to fighting fit. |
Each day you’re advised to do 30 minutes of exercise and, as I run every day, this was easy for me. But be prepared on the first couple of days to feel lethargic and don’t be too tough on yourself. I also wear a Fitbit Flex and made sure I did 10,000 steps a day, as well as using it to track the quality of my sleep.
And the results? At the end of the programme I felt more awake, more rested and healthier. I lost two inches from my waistline, two from my chest and one from my hips. I never weigh myself but I was a size ten at the start and my clothes were getting tight, by the end everything fitted comfortably.
One last piece of advice – be careful what you have when you get to Day 10. I celebrated with three cups of coffee in the morning and felt awful for the next few hours. But it did help me understand how food and drink affects our bodies. It’s really changed how I manage my nutrition and I would definitely do it again.
