one thing about me is that i will get endlessly giddy over the fact that my indulgent daydream ships embody my fave romance tropes. as if they would embody anything else
(addison and niles are enemies to lovers, hanna and shanti are best friends to lovers, victoria and paisley are 'are they lovers?' 'worse.')

A Prissy Girl’s Guide to Fall
back by popular demand, i’m here with another prissy girl guide! this post is a bit late for the fall but it’ll allow you to finish the season off in a pretty fashion, and transition to the winter smoothly. i’ll be discussing the look i’ve been adorned in as of late and my fav products i’ll be using for the spirit of fall! 💓
what’s the look this fall?
the look this season is “divalicious barbie.” voluminous hair, tapered square nails and fur details + neutral color palettes. add in a few pops of pink and some sparkly detailz and you got my look this fall. “sexy chic.” i’ve been really leaning into the vibe of a runway supermodel diva emulsion. as you may have seen, my birthday outfit drew from many inspirations, focally the early nineties alaia runway shows. just immense glamour, class and girliness with a healthy dose of sexy.
“it's officially fall bbys. uggs, tracksuits, sew ins are in”
“in are warm scents, fur, leopard prints, brown lip gloss with voluminous blowouts for the fall to enhance my diva essence!”
- @realprissygrl on twitter 🎀
first and foremost…
the weather is turning so a lot of us are catching colds. take care of your health and rest. protect your immune system and dress according to weather. i almost always get sick around late september/early october and its because of the dip my immune system takes due to the change in climate.
preparation
some of you are in school like me. one of the reasons the fall is my fav season is because it’s time to get back to the basics. you should be developing new study routines around this time or perfecting the ones you have already
new school supplies + stationery. pretty girls deserve to stay stocked up on glitter ink and fuzzy pens
start saving money for the holiday season
get a handle on your halloween look early so not to scramble when the day comes
stock up on tea, immune boosters like emergen-c and medicine
start going outside in the morning to get the vitamin D and K you may lose out on as the seasons turn
set new goals and track them in a diary or planner
try to get well rested. the change from fall to winter can cause a lot of mood and energy complications due to lack of rest
essentials
a metallic pink starbucks tumbler or stanley cup
new books to read this season
chai tea and espresso for at home lattes + a pink thermos for travel (mine is a barbie pink micro shimmer one by starbucks)
hello kitty pencil caps and planners
velcro roller kit
super cute straw toppers
juicy couture laptop case for school
dry shampoo and clean paddle brush
pink ipad for productivity
victoria’s secret anything
cute hydrophobic jackets + umbrella
cute planner, i take my corset planner everywhere
clothes and accessories
warm neutrals + pink
layers, layers, layers! i’ve been pairing fur vests/cardigans, and sheer tops
cheetah and leopard print (yes they’re different lol) i’m going for the galleria chanel look this season
preppy looks! tartan, tweed and pleats have been such an essential for me on class days
cute little purses that are only big enough for your phone, lip gloss and keys. they come rhinestoned, fur trimmed or beaded and go very well with preppy lookz
chocolate brown accessories and layers
rhinestones and pearls add the perfect diva touch to any look
hoops 4ever
diamond studs for when your hair is pulled back, the prettiest detail ever
velour tracksuits
shimmery neutral pieces
feathers and gold jewelry to achieve that regine hunter/hilary banks aesthetic
fur trims on sheer tops
fuzzy trimmed half jackets
neutral toned designer tote bags
leopard print totes
blacked out shades
berets
sheer tights including tights with patterns like lace and stripes
ted baker arycon bags. they’re affordable and super freaking cute
fuzzy knitted pieces
knee high socks
cute little pumps + kitten heels
leather booties
uggs… obviously
medium telfar in either ballerina, bubblegum or gold
rubber boots with cute details like metal buttons or fur
furry moon boots
apple watch + charm bracelet stacking
beauty
brown + pink all season. cinnamon strawberry dessert girl
tape ins + sew ins or clip ins for a budget
soft matte makeup. not too matte (winter) and not dewy (summer)
neutral eyeshadow with a pink glossy lip
voluminous side parted hair with velcro roller curls OR
pin straight silk presses with a middle part
adequate moisture in hair is imperative to ensure hairstyles last long and stay sleek. if my hair reverts too fast i know it’s because its dry
sparkly hair clips
deep pink, mauve and berry blushes
lip balms like tree hut, summers friday and patrick ta
high ponies and half up half down stylez
long curly lashes. my favs are by kiss and lilly lashes or sold on amazon in the pink packaging
invest in a metal roller brush (ulta has super cute pink ones omg) OR a round brush blow dryer to add body to hair
makeup by pat mcgrath and patrick ta for sparkly lookz
beauty blender cleanser is my fav for cleaning my brushes
lip glosses + lipstick in nude pink, nude, deep brown, and baby pink
tapered square french tipz and nude nails
eyeshadow palettes with blacks, reds, browns, grays, and creams. my favs rn are naughty nude and new nude by huda, glam palette by natasha denona and the master mattes by mario
claw clips have been my fav for cute updos
warm scents with notes of wood, oud, musk, cinnamon, pastry, soft florals and brown sugar
smoky eyes + smudged liner + wings

Kitchen Fire
Joost Klein x Reader! TWs: RPF, tooth rotting fluff like omgggg W/C: 2207 A/N: I loved writing this sm thank you to the requester ily <33
Every full 365 days, the spotlight shines on one individual for their special day. Granted, many individuals around the world at once, but still. And today was all about you!
Joost was all about making sure you felt special and loved every single day, but he pushed sooooo much harder on your birthday. And today he decided he wanted to do something special for you!
“Good morning pineapple….” He started, giggling like a child as he shook you gently up out your sleep.
“…Looking very good very niiiice…” you chuckled back, barely even halfway awake. “Good morning, my dear..!” You smiled, rubbing the leftover sleep from your eyes as you went to sit up.
“How did you get in?” You smiled, knowing damn well you locked your door.
“Don’t worry about that, schatje, it’s your birthday!” He beamed, giving you no time to process before he sweeped you up, carrying and spinning you bridal style around your room.
“HAPPY BIRTHHHDAY TO YOU!” He sang, eagerly tossing you around as you giggled at his surprising amount of energy at 7 in the morning.
“Thank you, thank you!” You giggled, letting him pepper your face with tiny kisses.
“Go get ready, I booked a little spa day for you in like…an hour.” He smiled, placing you gently on your feet.
“Oh, okay then! Let me go get dressed.” You nodded, darting off to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
You knew that Joost probably went through a lot of labor to book your schedule up, considering he hates phone calls. But he still did it for you!
But what you didn’t know, was that the moment you were out the door, Joost was gonna completely takeover and decorate your house. He had big plans.
He laid down on the couch, his stomach pressed flat against the cushions as his long legs kicked up in the air while he waited for you to leave.
“You sure you don’t wanna go? I can pay-“
“Stop right there,” he murmured, raising a palm. “You’re not paying for anything. Much less a spa day for me.” He smiled.
“I have a lot of things to do at my computer, so I’ll be here when you get back and we can order some food.” He lied, watching you closely as you hobbled over to him and pecked his cheek.
“Okay…” you sighed, smiling at him lovingly. “I love you!! Bye!” You squeaked, closing the door behind you with an eager squeal.
He snickered at your joy, equally just as happy that you were happy. He waited about 10 minutes to make sure you were really gone before he got to work.
He didn’t go too heavy on the decorations, as he didn’t want the cleanup to be horror for you two later. He hung up cute pink and white heart streamers, pink ribbons, and a massive paper sign that read ‘Happy Birthday’ with a collage of Joost’s many doodles.
He smiled, proud of his work before scurrying off to the kitchen, phone in hand. He scrolled through Pinterest, leaning back against the counter as he bit his bottom lip.
Joost had never been a cook, much less a baker, but he really really wanted to try for you.
Cakes with bows, Victoria cakes, sponge cakes, upside down cakes, fuck it, cake cake. He grew a little pale, the vast amount of cakes suddenly clueing him in on how little of a cakewalk making a cake would be.
He swallowed his anxiety before settling on a nice, simple raspberry jam Victoria cake. It looked easy, so he went straight for it.
He tossed the ingredients for cake in one big bowl, mixing them all together at once. The counter was riddled with flour, eggshells, and powdered sugar. It seemed as though no matter how much Joost mixed the batter, it never seemed to come to.
It was clumpy, but somehow still thick and…almost gelatinous. When he brushed against the counter, he could see the strange mixture jiggle and jitter. He cringed, staring down into the bowl as he fought back giggles.
He sighed, pulling out the circular baking pan and lined it with waxy parchment paper. He stared at the oven with genuine confusion, examining the little settings and knobs carefully before turning it up to the max, and tossing it on the top rack.
He wasn’t sure how long to keep the cake in, so he set a timer for an hour just to be safe.
While he waited for the cake to finish, he cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes before plucking the raspberry preserves from your pantry.
He sat down next to the oven, welcoming its warmth as he occupied himself with his phone while he waited for you to come home.
Somewhere along the wait, the gentle warmth from the oven lulled his senses to comfort, threatening his eyes with a long nap.
And before he knew it, he was asleep.
You on the other hand, had been enjoying your entire day to the fullest. After your much needed spa day, you did some shopping at a cozy and pink stationary store you had been eyeing for a while. You even got a free pack of pens and a small plush keychain in honor of your special day!
You went store to store, milking absolutely every birthday deal to its death until around 6:30.
You made your way back home with over 200 notifications and achey arms from all your bags as you eagerly pranced through the front door.
“Jooost! I’m- oooh!” You rang, immediately admiring the decorations that hung from the walls. The afternoon sun beamed rose gold rays of sunshine through the windows, casting a gorgeous light over the shiny ribbons and bows as you walked through the house.
You tried to take in the scenery around you, but you could hear shuffling in the kitchen and smell smoke.
“Joost? You okay?” You cooed, setting your bags down on the floor and making your to the kitchen.
He stood by the counter, his hat bunched up in his hand as he stared at the brick literal molten charcoal on the counter.
He turned around, holding the pan with two layers of oven mitts. “I tried to make you a cake, but…I can’t cook.” He smiled sheepishly, a light pink dusting the apples of his cheeks.
You giggled, watching as what was revealed to be a cake struggle to not explode in his hands. “It’s alright, love, thank you. We can make a cake together.” You giggled, taking off your bracelets and the pretty little silver ring Joost had gotten for you awhile ago.
“Alright, what did you wanna make baby?” You asked, setting out the ingredients again, along with two bowls.
He rested his chin on your shoulder, watching as you set up the materials. “Victoria cake…” he hummed, wrapping his arms around your waist.
“Ohhh, ok, ok.” You nodded, adding the softened butter and sugar to one bowl. “Ok, so you cream the butter and sugar first. You can’t just mix everything together at once. It’d work if it was a box cake though!” You explained, adding a pinch of salt to the now off-white and fluffy butter.
“Then you mix in the eggs after you beat them.” You nodded, cracking 3 eggs in the other bowl and mixing them together until they were well incorporated. You poured the eggs in with the butter little by little, mixing it together with a spatula.
“Do you want me to get you a whisk?” Joost asked, staring at the bowl in wonder. The dough wasn’t even finished, and it looked so much better than his did.
You shook your head, humming a small “nah.” You finished adding the rest of the eggs, fully stirring them into the fluffed butter. “When you use a whisk, it makes the butter and eggs separate. And that’s not what we want.”
Joost nodded, staring over your shoulder with childlike wonder and curiosity. “I didn’t know you could bake..?” He murmured, watching as you sifted the flour and baking powder into the bowl.
“Eh, I used to watch my mom in the kitchen.” You shrugged, giggling at the fond memory. “I would stare at her for a little while…I probably looked a lil crazy.”
“But it taught me a lot, so.” You shrugged, folding in the dry ingredients and smiling. “All done! Can you put this into two of the little circle baking sheets for me, please?” You beamed, handing him the bowl of light and fluffy dough.
“Yes, thank you.” He smiled, eagerly plopping half the dough into a baking pan before retrieving its twin from the cupboard and repeating the same process.
“It’s so fluffy…” he murmured, spreading out the dough evenly with the spatula. “Can I eat this?” He asked, waving the spatula around.
You stared at him with a raised brow, fighting the smirk that threatened to mark your face. “Sure, Joost. Why not.” You giggled.
While he ate the remnants of the cake batter, you sat the cakes in the hot oven and set a timer for 30 minutes. “I feel a little lazy, so I’m gonna do a really quick whipped cream for the cake.” You shrugged, unearthing the heavy cream from the back of the fridge.
“Babe can you hand me the hand mixer?” You asked, not knowing Joost had been standing half a centimeter behind you the whole time.
“Of course.” He murmured as the spatula hanging halfway out his mouth. He whisked around the kitchen momentarily before returning to your side, the little black mixer in his hand.
“Thank you!” You cooed, propping the mixer up securely on top of a random can of coconut cream. You gently placed the bowl under the whisk, poured the heavy cream and sugar into the bowl before turning the mixer on.
“Did you just DIY a stand mixer…?” Joost asked, genuine curiosity laced in his tone as he watched the heavy cream whip itself.
“I told you, I’m lazy.” You giggled. “It’s my birthday, I’m allowed to do this.” You nodded, walking out the kitchen and plopping down on the couch.
He hummed, staring at the makeshift stand mixer for a moment before joining you in the living room.
A few beats of silence passed by as you sat together, scrolling on your phones and enjoying each other’s presence before you spoke up.
“Wanna get changed with m-“
“Yes.”
You giggled, making your way back into your room to change into some comfy clothes as Joost followed behind you just as eagerly.
You emerged a while later, fresh faced and giddy after having done your night-time routine. You adjusted the pink strap on your hello kitty pajama pants, glancing at Joost’s matching pair as he felt the fluffy fabric underneath the palms of his hands.
“The cakes should be ready now!” You smiled, slinking into the kitchen and bending at the waist to stare into the glass door of the oven.
“…Yep. Think so!” You cheered quietly, slowly opening the oven and basking in its gusty breath of heat.
The smell of warm vanilla and confectionery goodness wafted through the air, filling your house with cozy comfort.
Joost stood closely behind you, watching as you took the cakes out of the oven and sat them onto some parchment paper.
“Alright, just put the raspberry jam on this first layer and like…spread it around.” You nodded, stopping the mixer to see perfectly stiff and fluffy whipped cream.
Joost nodded, slapping the sweet, sugary goodness down onto the first cake and doing his absolute best to spread it around evenly.
Once he was finished, he giggled eagerly before shaking your shoulder and pointing to the cake.
“It was harder than I thought, it was very sticky.” He murmured, watching you as closely as humanly possible while you gently added the whipped cream on top of the raspberry preserves.
“Baking is so deceiving!” You giggled, placing the top layer on the cake once the bottom layer was all done.
“Alright, I’ll let you place the berries and stuff on top for me.” You nodded, handing him the little carton of raspberries and blueberries.
And he took that job so seriously.
You watched him delicately place each and every berry in one specific place, rotating each fruit until it looked amazing. He was so engrossed in decorating the top that you weren’t even sure you could hear him breathe through the deafening silence.
When he was done, he pushed the cake over to you and smiled.
“Ta-daaa!” He whispered, chuckling under his breath as he leaned his hip against the counter. “I made it for you!”
“Sure you did, Joost. All you.” You chuckled, rolling your eyes.
“Now you have to make a wish.” He murmured, taking out an I heart Joost Klein lighter from his back pocket, lighting in a safe distance away from your face.
“So conceited. Who has a light of themselves?” You chastised, but giggled nonetheless.
“Because everybody loves Joost.” He nodded, watching as you closed your eyes and blew out the flame of his little lighter.
“Happy birthday. I love you.”
“I love you too!”

I thought I knew royal greed – but King Charles profiting from the assets of the dead is a disgusting new low
For decades, parliament has been far too lenient about the royal family’s finances. This avaricious practice needs to end
Norman Baker Fri 24 Nov 2023 13.08 CET
Over the centuries, the royals have continually bleated poverty and demanded more money from the taxpayer.’ Photograph: Reuters
As a royal author, I have come across plentiful examples of royal greed. It is standard practice for the royals to seek to minimise their personal expenditure while maximising their income from other sources, normally the public purse.
But the revelation that King Charles III’s personal slush fund, the Duchy of Lancaster, is having its already bulging coffers augmented by the estates of people who die in parts of England with historical links to the royal estate plumbs new depths of disgusting avarice.
Like many so-called traditions, the feudal hangover that is bona vacantia should have been consigned to the dustbin of history centuries ago, but it has been all too tempting for successive royals to preserve this royal fruit machine that pays out again and again. Over the past 10 years, it has collected more than £60m in the funds.
Under this system, the Duchy of Cornwall, owned by Prince William, can claim the assets of people who die in Cornwall intestate – without a will – if no relatives can be found. Charles’s Duchy of Lancaster does the same when their last known residence is within what was historically known as Lancashire county palatine.
Edward VIII found cash from those who died intestate in the boundaries of the duchy was sitting in an account in case claims arose against it. He simply stole a million pounds from it, leaving almost nothing in that kitty.
George VI did very well out of the loyal servicemen who died serving their country in the second world war, who originated from within the confines of the duchy and had no will. “For king and country” took on a whole new meaning.
As disquiet about the practice of bona vacantia grew after the war, the royals announced that moneys collected would henceforth be given to charity – after processing costs had been deducted, of course. In the case of the Duchy of Lancaster, this came to about 4% compared to 15% for the Duchy of Cornwall.
Yet a Guardian investigation now reveals that matters are even worse than we have been led to believe. Put bluntly, we have been lied to. Monies we all thought were going to charity have instead been used to improve properties owned by the duchy, increasing the income stream that flows from them into Charles’s pockets.
We have the most expensive monarchy in Europe by far in terms of state support, and one that benefits from unique tax treatment available to nobody else. No inheritance tax is paid. The so-called private estates of the duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster are not private enough to pay corporation tax or capital gains tax. Even income tax is only paid voluntarily – if it all – no receipts have ever been made public.
The civil list, which in 2011 gave the royals £7.9m a year, was replaced, after palace lobbying, with the sovereign grant, which 12 years later is up to £86m a year. Over the centuries, the royals have continually bleated poverty and demanded more money from the taxpayer, while at the same time refusing point blank to reveal the extent of their accumulated wealth.
They even refused to provide this information to the last government that seriously tried to dig into this – the Labour government of the mid-1970s, with the then home secretary Roy Jenkins pursuing the matter.
Back in Queen Victoria’s reign, the government was told she was desperately short of cash to undertake her duties so a big uplift was provided. She was not short of cash, and the money provided by the then government was instead used to buy Sandringham and Balmoral. I recognise that behaviour from my time in parliament. It’s called fiddling your expenses.
My calculations suggest that the king is worth as much as £2bn and probably more. The bulk of this has come from excessive generosity on behalf of the taxpayer, either through direct handouts or indirectly through unique tax exemptions. But antiquated and indefensible arrangements such as bona vacantia have played their part too.
Parliament, which over the decades has been far too deferential, far too trusting, far too easy going, needs to get a grip. The disgusting existence of royal windfalls from dead people should be ended forthwith. The duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster should be transferred immediately to the publicly owned crown estate; they only escaped from being transferred along with other royal lands in 1760 because they were then deemed worthless. Plainly, this is no longer the case. The public accounts committee should begin a thorough investigation into the funding and wealth of the royals.
Monarchists should worry. Opening the doors on royal finances and practices will reveal a terrible stench.

The men present who voted unanimously were either all of those or some of those. We don’t know. We can presume that the Officers were all likely present: Kevin Schaal, Gordan Dickson, Taigen Joos, Bud Steadman, and Michael Privett.
Who abstained? Bob III didn’t. Mike Harding as a present BJU Board member? Stephen Jones as a very absent member of the Royal family? Mark Minnick as a current employee?
The only name on there that I can guarantee did not abstain was Don Johnson, but he’s an old friend of mine. ;)
What do you think?

What is the difference between a Victoria sandwich and sponge cake?
In the realm of baking, the terms "Victoria sandwich" and "sponge cake" are often used interchangeably, leading to confusion among aspiring bakers. However, despite their similar appearance and basic ingredients, these two desserts possess distinct characteristics that set them apart. In this informative guide, we delve into the nuances of each, exploring their differences and providing a classic Victoria sandwich recipe for those eager to embark on a culinary adventure.
Unveiling the Victoria Sandwich
The Victoria sandwich, also known as the Victoria sponge, is a beloved British classic that pays homage to Queen Victoria, who purportedly enjoyed a slice with her afternoon tea. This iconic cake consists of two layers of light and airy sponge cake sandwiched together with a layer of jam and a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Key Characteristics
The defining feature of a Victoria sandwich is its simplicity. Traditionally, it is made with equal parts butter, sugar, flour, and eggs, resulting in a delicate crumb and subtle sweetness. The addition of jam adds a burst of flavor and moisture, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.
Classic Victoria Sandwich Recipe
To experience the quintessential taste of a Victoria sandwich, follow this timeless recipe that captures the essence of this beloved dessert.
Ingredients:
200g unsalted butter, softened
200g caster sugar
4 medium eggs
200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
Strawberry jam
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease two 20cm round cake tins.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Sift the self-raising flour and baking powder into the bowl, then gently fold into the mixture until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tins for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spread a generous layer of strawberry jam onto one cake layer.
Place the second cake layer on top of the jam and gently press down to secure.
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Slice and serve your Victoria sandwich with a pot of tea for a truly British indulgence!
Deciphering the Sponge Cake
While the Victoria sandwich is a type of sponge cake, not all sponge cakes are created equal. Sponge cake is a broad category of cakes characterized by their light and airy texture, achieved through the incorporation of whipped eggs or egg whites into the batter.
Variations and Adaptations
Unlike the traditional Victoria sandwich, sponge cakes can vary widely in flavor, texture, and presentation. From classic genoise sponge to chiffon cake and angel food cake, the world of sponge cakes is vast and diverse, offering endless possibilities for experimentation and creativity.
Basic Components
At its core, a sponge cake typically consists of eggs, sugar, flour, and sometimes a leavening agent such as baking powder or cream of tartar. The key to a successful sponge cake lies in properly whipping the eggs to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and fluffy crumb.
FAQs
What sets a Victoria sandwich apart from a regular sponge cake? While both desserts are classified as sponge cakes, the Victoria sandwich is specifically defined by its sandwiched layers of sponge cake filled with jam. This distinguishes it from other variations of sponge cake, which may be served plain or with alternative fillings.
Can I use any type of jam for a Victoria sandwich? While strawberry jam is the traditional choice for a Victoria sandwich, you can experiment with different flavors such as raspberry, apricot, or lemon curd to customize the cake to your taste preferences.
Is it necessary to dust the Victoria sandwich with powdered sugar? While dusting the cake with powdered sugar adds a decorative touch, it is not essential to the taste or texture of the dessert. Feel free to omit this step if desired or substitute with a drizzle of icing for added sweetness.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while the terms "Victoria sandwich" and "sponge cake" are often used interchangeably, they each represent distinct variations within the world of baking. The Victoria sandwich, with its jam-filled layers and dusting of powdered sugar, epitomizes the simplicity and elegance of British baking, while sponge cake encompasses a broader category of light and airy desserts. By understanding the differences between these two delicacies and following a classic Victoria sandwich recipe, you can embark on a culinary journey that celebrates the rich tradition of homemade desserts.

Say Goodbye to Unwanted Fillers with Baker Rejuvenation Centre in Victoria
Have you ever considered how the seemingly permanent results of filler treatments could be undone? Whether it's a change of heart, a quest for a natural aesthetic, or the management of a suboptimal outcome, the question of filler removal often goes unanswered. Today, we're diving deep into the world of Filler Removal, a specialized service proudly offered by Baker Rejuvenation Centre in Victoria, BC.
Understanding Filler Treatments and Their Reversibility
Before we explore the nuances of removing fillers, it's essential to understand what they are. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid fillers, which are among the most popular, are known for their ability to be dissolved — an aspect that not only ensures their safety but also grants the flexibility to reverse the effects if necessary.
Why Opt for Filler Removal?
Deciding to get rid of fillers is a personal choice influenced by various factors:
Dissatisfaction with the Results: Individual expectations vary, and sometimes the outcome may not align with the envisioned look.
Overcorrection: In cases where too much filler has been used, faces can appear disproportionate or overly augmented.
Complications: Though rare, complications such as lumps or asymmetry can necessitate removal.
Change in Personal Preference: Trends and personal tastes evolve; you might long for the look you had before fillers.
The Expertise of Baker Rejuvenation Centre
At Baker Rejuvenation Centre, filler removal is executed with precision and care. Led by Dr. Stephen Baker, a respected figure in the field of aesthetic medicine, the centre offers a safe and welcoming environment where concerns and desires are met with professional expertise and genuine understanding.
The Filler Removal Process
The process of removing hyaluronic acid-based fillers is relatively straightforward. The substance used to dissolve the filler is called hyaluronidase, an enzyme that rapidly breaks down hyaluronic acid. The procedure is quick, normally taking about 15 to 30 minutes, and the effects of the enzyme typically start to manifest almost immediately.
Step-by-Step Filler Removal at Baker Rejuvenation Centre:
Consultation: A meticulous assessment of your medical history and an evaluation of your aesthetic concerns.
Preparation: The target area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to maximize comfort.
Administration: Hyaluronidase is carefully injected into the areas where the fillers reside.
Observation: The team observes the initial reaction to ensure a proper response to the enzyme.
Follow-Up: Patients are typically scheduled for a follow-up appointment to assess the results and ensure satisfaction.
Safety and Aftercare
Safety is paramount at Baker Rejuvenation Centre. The hyaluronidase used is of the highest quality, and every procedure is performed under the strictest sanitary conditions. Aftercare instructions are provided to ensure a smooth recovery, with minimal side effects such as swelling or bruising, which usually subside quickly.
Embrace Change with Confidence
The ability to remove fillers offers a layer of confidence for those considering facial enhancements. It's comforting to know that your decisions aren't set in stone and that you can adjust your appearance as you see fit, guided by the skilled hands at Baker Rejuvenation Centre.
Whether you're exploring filler removal due to a change of heart or the desire to correct an unsatisfactory result, the experts at Baker Rejuvenation Centre in Victoria are dedicated to providing you with outcomes that reflect your true self.
Ready to Rejuvenate?
For those in Victoria and surrounding areas looking to reintroduce their natural contours or resolve issues with previous filler treatments, Baker Rejuvenation Centre stands as a beacon of excellence. Book your consultation today and take the first step towards a rejuvenated you — on your own terms. For more information, visit Baker Rejuvenation Centre's website or call to schedule an appointment.
Your journey of transformation is in the safest hands. With Baker Rejuvenation Centre, you can proceed with newfound confidence knowing that your beauty choices can be as fluid and changeable as you are.

BILLIE BRAY BAKER
CHARACTER NAME: billie bray baker. FACECLAIM: laura harrier. AGE: thirty-one. GENDER/PRONOUNS: cis woman, she/her. BIRTHDAY/ZODIAC: 14th february 1992 & aquarius. OCCUPATION: mechanic at firewheel auto repair shop. HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN T OR C: twenty-one years. NEIGHBORHOOD: vista la verde. SONG THAT SUITS THEM: jaguar - victoria monét.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: pregnancy, post natal depression
ABOUT
A San Francisco native, Billie Bray was born on a cold February morning 1992, to at the time, two loving parents. It had been an unexpected, unplanned pregnancy however Georgina and Michael Baker were somewhat excited, ready to bring their first child into the world with open arms. With Michael a high school teacher and Georgina a Nurse, both were extremely busy with very little time for each other, let alone a new baby, but this was their new life now. A few weeks into Billie’s life, Georgina began suffering with postnatal depression, distancing herself from nearly everyone in her life, including Billie. The bond failed to grow between the two, which meant Michael had to step up and begin providing Billie with the basic care as well as looking after Georgina, who often suffered crisis’ leading to her frequently not leaving the house for days or weeks on end.
As Billie grew older, the bond between her and her father only got stronger and stronger as she became more and more distant with her mother. He would spend any spare time, although limited, teaching Billie everything she knows about mechanics and this is where her love for tinkering all things cars or bikes stems from. Life began taking its toll on both Georgina and Michael, tension was highly strung between them as they struggled to keep their heads above the water as well as raising Billie, who was incredibly strong-willed. At the age of nine, Billie returned home from school to find her mother had packed her bags and left, with nothing but a note left. As always, life carried on and Billie had to learn to cope without her mother, trying to navigate her young life and support her father who was nearly at breaking point.
A year later, the father and daughter duo were struggling on and unable to keep the roof over their heads in San Francisco, Michael upped and moved himself and Billie across country to Truth and Consequences, a quaint town small enough for the two of them to start over and hopefully move on from the obstacles life had thrown them. They soon settled down in Kopra, an RV being all Michael could afford and began their new lives.
Flying through school with above average grades, Billie was destined to do well and was a credit to her father, it just seemed she couldn't figure out what that destiny was. Moving on to once she had graduated college, Billie bounced around a few different jobs to help support her father before an opening for a mechanic at Firewheel Auto Repair shop became available, Billie landing herself a job there at the age of twenty-three and has been there ever since.
Relationship wise, Billie dated around like many, yet never truly settled down in worry that once again they would up and leave her like her mother. Cue two years ago, Billie had met what seemed the perfect man, they fell in love hard and fast, very quickly getting engaged which shocked everyone, but Billie was happy and being the strong, independent woman she was, finally let down her guard down. Although they say happiness doesn’t last forever and life would soon throw another obstacle at Billie. Finding out she was pregnant six months into the relationship rocked the boat massively, Jordan had expressed he specifically didn’t want children and immediately called off the engagement, leaving Billie and town without hesitation. Moving out from her father’s RV and into her own apartment in Vista la Verde, Billie soon gave birth to a baby girl and from that moment on, vowed to give her daughter everything she could.
Billie can be very stubborn and guarded, but is a true sweetie mixed in with a little spice, a true hard worker and one of the most loyal people you’ll ever meet. Billie carries on, flowing through life and hoping maybe one day she can find her true self again and maybe, just maybe be rightfully happy with her daughter by her side.

A killer request please!
Being a top crewmember on the ship but is short and looks like she should be a baker then a pirate (she does bake too), killer is protective and looks after her till in battle she reminds him and the crew why kid has her on the front line in the first place (crazy strength and speed) (ง •̀_•́)ง
Thank you!
Finally a killer one 🤭🤭 Some love for my boyyy! I love this idea of Killer just having the protective sense regardless even though he knows she’s strong ❤️❤️. I wasn’t sure how you’d like her to fight, so I just made her more of a hand-to-hand.
•Y/n is one of the Kidd pirates, so not many things surprise her these days. Except for how protective Killer is of her..
•This mans name is literally Killer but he treats her like a baby I swear—
•One time she was sitting on the railing of the Victoria Punk and he was worried sick. “Y/n, please get down..”
-“No, why are you so worried?”
-“You might fall into the sea.”
-“I won’t. I’m not a kid who could get easily flung off.”
-“Well you’re as short as one..” He was genuinely trying to reason with her, but this just made her angry. (understandably lmaooo)
-“I’m not gonna fall off! Stop babying me!” She crossed her arms.
•Another example of his over protective behavior could be seen when Y/n was baking. She knows what she’s doing, and the crew loves her treats and pastries. Odd for such a pirate crew, but it’s the truth. This includes Killer, despite this.. he still worries..
-He was watching Y/n as she crushed a bunch of crackers and placed them in a blender.
-“What are you making?” Killer asked, leaning on his elbow
-“Cheesecake, this is for the crust.” She answered before turning the blender on.
-When she finished she took the blade out of the blender to clean it. Killer proceeded to grab it from her.
-“What are you doing?” She questioned
-“Protecting you?”
-“From what?” Y/n just huffed
-“This is a sharp blade.” He answered innocently.
-Y/n laughed. She thought it was a little annoying, but somewhat cute at the same time.
————————————————————————
•Killer never seemed to realize he may have been over protective until you were on the battle field. -A navy ship was sailing near the Victoria Punk, catching up. They fired their canons at the ship.
-Soon they were right next to the ship, so of course the crew had to start fighting the marines directly, not that they’d mind.
-Killer scouted out Y/n, and ran to her side before she ran towards the railing of the Victoria Punk. -“Wait, Y/n—!” He was cut short when She landed on the Navy ship, taking out a group of marines within the blink of an eye.
-Killer watched as the (h/c) haired took out marine after marine with great speed, but still enjoying herself in the fight. -It wasn’t just Killer watching, some of the crew members seemed to have forgotten that y/n was not weak, quite strong actually. She’s on the front lines for a reason.
-He kind of just.. stood there for a moment, remembering that she was not some fragile and petite girl. He laughed to himself a little, imagining how silly and annoying he must’ve seemed.
-It was undoubtably one of the reasons he loved her.
-“Oi, Killer, you gonna fight or what?” Kidd chuckled next to him.
