Hidden inside Bryanston complex is a little skin and body boutique called Pure Velvet. To be honest, I’ve went to various salons for my monthly treatments (waxing, facials etc.) but this place just became my favorite spot. I always look for convenience and most of the time I don’t leave feeling fully satisfied. Pure Velvet is not exactly near for me but judging from the amount of love I received, it makes me want to go back. I was greeted by the friendly Carla who introduced herself and the treatments I would be having. The setup is small, cozy and filled with love. I’ve started to appreciate small places because it seems they unconsciously treat you better than a big salon (from my experience), I guess there’s more attention on me and I like it. Seriously, who doesn’t like to feel important.. 😉
About Pure Velvet:
Pure Velvet offers a comprehensive range of non invasive skin treatments, which deliver results and help to reveal a more even toned, radiant and youthful skin. Their body boutique offers an array of therapeutic massages, prenatal treatments and reflexology.
My therapist Shireen made me feel so comfortable, we chatted during my ‘waxing’ session which wasn’t part of my review.
My first treatment was the Thalgo Oxygen Marine Facial:
This is a triple oxygen boost for the skin, it eliminates toxins boosts radiance and repairs the skins barrier. I also received Thalgo’s award-winning eye massage mask which aids dark circles, puffiness and sinus (Read more about it here: http://www.purevelvet.co.za/eye-treatments.html). I am a sucker for facials, yes I absolutely love it! I love spoiling my skin and recently I’ve had difficulty finding the right brand to suit my skin. It’s either way out of my budget or doesn’t agree to my sensitive skin. I’ve heard of Thalgo before but haven’t had the opportunity to try it or maybe I was just too scared?.. Well the facial is amazing, what really caught my attention was the smell of the products. It smelt refreshing and it automatically made me feel like I was feeding my skin the right food. The eye massage mask was something I haven’t experienced before, really, it was weird but relaxing at the same time. The next time you visit Pure Velvet for a facial, make sure you get this eye massage mask. The facial was lovely but this wasn’t the highlight of my review.
My second treatment was a reflexology massage:
Now this took me to lala land immediately! After a nice facial and soothing music, this was exactly what I needed. I can’t remember when’s the last time I had a massage. I’ve felt so guilty recently for leaving Kitana alone with the nanny that I haven’t been paying attention to myself.
I never really understood what reflexology meant until Carla explained it in detail to me. It is an ancient healing method which uses a pressure point massage to restore balance and well-being. During pregnancy it helps with swollen ankles, water retention, lower back pain, tiredness. (Reflexology babies reach their milestones early, score 10/10 on APGAR, have strong spines, good suckling and good birth weight.) Vije also had the massage and guess what?! We both fell asleep! It was definitely the highlight of my review and I wouldn’t mind getting more of these.
Thank you Pure Velvet for an experience I will never forget. I tried new treatments and made new friends :). You definitely score a 10/10 for customer experience, I really did feel like a Queen.

I would absolutely love the thalgo oxygen marine facial, haven’t had a facial in ages, this would be perfect!
It looks lovely. I remain certain that reflexology helped me to conceive my son, we had been trying for a year without success. The month after my 10 treatments I fell pregnant. I also didn’t know how stressed I was, until I felt the real effects of reflexology.

Copper scrap industry knowledge Copper is one of the oldest known metals, dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and the Greeks. Its unique properties, including high thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and corrosion resistance, have made it an important material in industry, technology, and art. Throughout history, copper has been used for a variety of purposes. In ancient times, it was primarily used for decorative purposes, such as creating jewelry and artwork. Its malleability and ductility made it an ideal material for shaping into intricate designs. As technology advanced, copper became increasingly important in industries such as construction, plumbing, and electronics. The discovery of copper’s conductive properties led to its widespread use in electrical wiring and transmission lines. The development of copper alloys, such as brass and bronze, further expanded the range of applications for copper-based materials. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, was first created in ancient times and became popular during the Roman Empire for its durability and aesthetic appeal. Today, brass is still used in a variety of applications, including musical instruments, plumbing fixtures, and decorative hardware. Bronze, another copper alloy, was developed around 3000 BCE and was used extensively in the Bronze Age for weapons, tools, and art. Its superior strength and durability made it ideal for objects that needed to withstand heavy use. Today, bronze is still used in sculpture and decorative applications.

Copper cable recycling Copper is widely considered the best choice for electrical connectors due to its excellent conductivity, durability, and resistance to corrosion. These qualities make it a reliable choice for numerous electrical applications, from household wiring to industrial electronics. One of the primary advantages of copper as an electrical connector is its high electrical conductivity. Copper has the highest electrical conductivity of any non-precious metal, which means it can efficiently transport electrical current with minimal resistance. This is especially important for electrical applications that require high power or carry signals over long distances. In addition to its conductivity, copper is also highly durable. Copper wires and connectors are able to withstand bending, twisting, and other forms of physical stress without losing their electrical properties. This is important in applications where wires and connectors may be subject to frequent movement or vibration. Another benefit of copper as an electrical connector is its resistance to corrosion. Copper is a relatively stable metal that is resistant to many forms of corrosion, including rusting and oxidization. This makes it a reliable choice for electrical connections that may be exposed to moisture, chemicals, or environmental factors that can damage other metals. Finally, copper’s availability and affordability are also key advantages. Copper is a widely available material that can be found in various forms, from raw ore to finished products. This makes it easy to source and manufacture copper wires and connectors at a relatively low cost, making it an economical choice for many electrical applications. Overall, the combination of high conductivity, durability, resistance to corrosion, and affordability make copper the best choice for electrical connectors. Its versatility and reliability have proven it to be a key component in countless electrical systems and products throughout the world Metal waste recovery solutions Circuit board copper scrap Copper scrap shearing Copper scrap grades Market demand for recycled copper Metal waste baling
