Still a little bit swollen for my liking. Botox was aok.

I am sure last time I had my bottom lips plumped it took a couple of days to settle.

That crooked tooth of mine, that Witty pointed out a few times, has moved because of my wisdoms. And thanks to losing lip volume, it sticks out like Ricky Gervais's cats fang when my mouth is closed. Well not quiet, but I see it peeping.

Bit of volume in the lips stops it.

I bet it looks fab, always takes a few days to settle! I never noticed a crooked tooth tbh
 
Agreed, I was constantly cycling from buying deodorant lollies, weird vodka's and BBB. Even now, I liken BBB in its current state to the repetitive pantry drive-by. 'The next time I look, I'm sure a box of oreo's or beef jerky will magically appear'..

Haha 3.15am is my wall. Coincidently - the time when I gorge myself on sweet treats in a poor attempt at staying awake..
Tbh, by 3am, I feel a combination of hunger/thirst/nausea/fatigue and emotional fragility.

I can't eat on nights. I drop 2kg every month. Then gain it back, by the time it comes back around.

It's not fab yet. No one has commented on it in a derogatory sense since primary school, but he's right. It's crooked.

Do you tell anyone about your face injecting?
 
The only nightshift I ever "enjoyed" was emergency, 4pm/4am feels exactly the same, pace never changed, made it easier
 
Haha yes, emotional fragility is what I feel too.. Glad telemarketers don't ring at that hour, I'd be in big trouble.

Really?? You must be the exception.. I do most of my damage on nights. I've seen the Greatest Catch on FOX and have learnt that in order to stay awake for 36 hours straight to catch those Siberian White King Crabs, eating absurdly high calorie foods at regular intervals is a must.

Shame I don't work on a shottie trawler in the middle of the Antarctic Ocean :(

Yeah I tell people, lost lots of volume when I lost weight, plus pretty much everyone I know gets something now
 
That is a huge night. I don't think I could do 12 hours.
Oh no I didn't mean start at 4, I just meant didn't matter if it was a PM or AM it was always the same, it was 9:30 till 7, but constant stream, weekends super busy on a night, and Tuesday nights for some reason

No on in my "RL" knows. No one outside my injector and you guys that is.

I have quite a plain face, and the thought of people studying it trying to work out what I have done is horrifying to me. Though to be honest, the older I get the more compliments I get on my skin. Women usually ask what skin products I use. I have never ever been asked if I get injectables.

Most of our nursing emergency are 12 hour shifts.

7pm - 7am.

I'm on a self imposed temporary injectables ban for a bit, I'm genuinely worried about how my face is going to look but I'm only 27, in theory it should be alright... right?

I wish I had started them in my 30's.

I would be wary of starting any younger than that for two reasons. The first being your skin is never going to look as good as it does in your 20's, the second being in my opinion you are the most self critical in your teens and 20's. That makes the world of injectables a dangerous thing. You want them to change your face as opposed to make the best of what you've got.

Kylie Jenner/Skye = bad injectables
Naomi Watts/Tina Arena = good injectables

The secret to injectable success imo, you should look fresher, not different.

Yeah that makes sense, especially with Kylie and Skye, I can't believe Kylie is only 18! For me it was largely preventative, my skin is quite thin and dry so more likely to show signs of aging earlier so I hope to nip it in the bud a bit, so to speak, but definitely there was already a need for it for me. I have been consistently happy with the results, but - lesbihonest - my skin would probably not be exactly haggard without it at this stage. Totally agree re: fresher though, I want people to notice but not specifically to notice the Botox. Well actually I only had proper Botox once I usually get dysport, but same thing.
 
How do you spend most of your time these days since retiring from your previous role as CEO of Counting to 10k with pictures?

Ha! I fill my days.

Seriously though I suppose I have a bit more time to focus on other things I need to do now. Which is good but the 10,000 did kill the boredom throughout the day many many times. :)

I am going to try Dysport next time. I have always used Botox and I have been really happy with the results. Apparently most people are mixing the two now.

My skin is thin, dry, sun and drug damaged. I am far closer to 50 than I am 40, and I just want to look the best I can.

I do my best to look after myself by exercising daily and eating right, but no amount of kale and jogging can add facial volume.

I totally agree with this sentiment. It is sad seeing youthful looking natural beauties essentially ruin their faces when they don't need to, but they are the ones who have to live with themselves forever so if that does make them happier or more comfortable in their own skin then I guess it's ok. Like, I don't think they should, but who cares what I think really.

My lifestyle is improving but I have not exactly been kind to my skin/body over the years and I feel it is showing, but I think (for me anyway) genetics go a long way as by all accounts my skin should be much worse and professionals have told me as much. I am hoping that as my lifestyle continues to become healthier this will make a difference.
