I GOTTA FEELING!

THE BLACK EYED PEAS AT MALLORCA LIVE FESTIVAL

The Black Eyed Peas have been a presence that has been hard to ignore in the music industry for over two decades, and their live performances are always a treat for fans of all ages. This year they are making a much-anticipated appearance at the Mallorca Live Festival that will undoubtedly thrill the crowd with their signature beats and electrifying energy. The group’s lineup has changed over the years, with Fergie, lead singer of the group, leaving to pursue a solo career in 2017. Despite her absence, the remaining members, will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo, have continued to create music and perform together, and their performance at the Mallorca Live Festival is sure to be no exception.

The festival is set to take place over three days, featuring a lineup of top musicians from various genres including fellow headliners The Kooks and The Chemical Brothers. The Black Eyed Peas will be taking to the stage on the second day and will hopefully perform some of their most famous hits such as “Let’s Get It Started”, “Boom Boom Pow”, “Where Is The Love?”, and “I Gotta Feeling”. The group’s famously high energy and dynamic performances have captivated audiences around the globe and the atmosphere is nothing short of electric. The group’s ability to seamlessly fuse different genres into their music is a testament to their musical talent and creativity.

During their sets, will.i.am always takes a moment to address the crowd, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to perform and sharing some insights into his life outside of music. Many of us on the island know him from the popular singing competition show, The Voice back in the UK but he is a man of many talents that also works with artists to produce, write and provide backing vocals. Despite his busy schedule, he is a true example of an artist that sees music as a priority for him and the Black Eyed Peas

¡I Gotta Feeling!

The Black Eyed Peas en el Mallorca Live Festival

is where it all began to go well for him. For many, the group’s performance will be a reminder of parties, weddings and other celebrations and just proves their enduring legacy in the music industry, and their ability to connect with audiences across generations.

Black Eyed Peas will be performing on Friday 19th May at Mallorca Live Festival alongside other acts such as Quevedo, Moderat, Peggy Gou, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and many more. Tickets are on sale NOW here.

The Black Eyed Peas han sido una presencia difícil de ignorar en la industria de la música durante más de dos décadas, y sus actuaciones en directo

son siempre una delicia para los fans de todas las edades. Este año hacen una aparición muy esperada en el Mallorca Live Festival que sin duda entusiasmará al público con sus ritmos característicos y su energía electrizante.

La alineación del grupo ha cambiado a lo largo de los años, con Fergie, cantante principal del grupo, abandonando para seguir una carrera en solitario en 2017.

A pesar de su ausencia, los miembros restantes, will.i.am, apl.de.ap y Taboo, han seguido creando música y actuando juntos, y su actuación en el Mallorca Live Festival no será una excepción.

El festival se celebrará durante tres días y contará con un cartel de músicos de primera fila de diversos géneros, entre

los que se encuentran los también cabezas de cartel The Kooks y The Chemical Brothers. Los Black Eyed Peas subirán al escenario el segundo día y es de esperar que interpreten algunos de sus éxitos más famosos, como “Let’s Get It Started”, “Boom Boom Pow”, “Where Is The Love?” y “I Gotta Feeling”. Sus actuaciones dinámicas y llenas de energía han cautivado al público de todo el mundo, y el ambiente es sencillamente eléctrizante. La capacidad del grupo para fusionar a la perfección diferentes géneros en su música es un testimonio de su talento musical y de su creatividad. Durante sus actuaciones, will.i.am siempre se toma un momento para dirigirse al público, expresando

su gratitud por la oportunidad de actuar y compartiendo algunos detalles sobre su vida fuera de la música. Muchos de nosotros en la isla lo conocemos por el popular concurso de la cación The Voice en el Reino Unido, pero es un hombre con muchos talentos que también trabaja con artistas produciendo, escribiendo y haciendo coros. A pesar de su apretada agenda, es un verdadero ejemplo de artista que considera la música una prioridad para él, y con los Black Eyed Peas es donde todo empezó a irle bien.

Para muchos, la actuación del grupo será un recuerdo de fiestas, bodas y otras celebraciones, y no hace más que demostrar su perdurable legado en la industria musical, y su capacidad para conectar con el público de todas las generaciones.

Black Eyed Peas actuará el viernes 19 de mayo en el Mallorca Live Festival junto a otros artistas como Quevedo, Moderat, Peggy Gou, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club y muchos más. Las entradas ya están a la venta aquí. Vamos

DJ WOODY COOK, SON OF THE FAMOUS DJ FAT BOY SLIM/NORMAN COOK

Celebrity Magazine recently caught up with budding DJ Woody Cook, son of the famous DJ Fat Boy Slim/Norman Cook and TV presenter mum Zoe Ball at the renowned event venue ‘Reloaded’.

We wanted to catch his debut slot and see how this boy wonder was adapting to his new residency and the Mallorca nightlife. His energy behind the decks is certainly mesmerising and spontaneous and made us feel that ‘the student’ is working his way up to a music scholarship in editing and DJing, and becoming the full package in the world of entertainment with a few TV appearances under his belt. It is certainly a credit to the man when you think of how saturated the entire industry has become due to the apps, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and all the other sites that encourage us to document

our lives for all the world to see, in hopes of some recognition and for us to feel that people like us.

The fact that Woody’s father Norman Cook has been at the top of his game as a music producer, music artist and superstar DJ, means Woody will have access to sound advice, which is priceless in

an industry that doesn’t show much mercy to fame-hungry newcomers. Woody has a lot going on this year in terms of DJ appearances and he knows how to get the crowd rocking as I witnessed during his set. He has surprisingly great taste in music and wasn’t afraid to mix some eclectic sounds and get the crowd up on their feet during his hour-long set. It is

safe to say that, if Woody is in your neighbourhood on a DJ bill, he will not disappoint. He has the skills and he has seemingly inherited his father’s know-how.

Woody will be back at Reloaded on the 24th of May. Be sure to check him out on the decks and the Reloaded show as a whole!

Hollywood Writer’s Strike Continues

Coronation of King Charles III

King Charles III was crowned in a lavish ceremony that the Brits are famous for with horse-drawn carriages, a breathtaking military procession and, of course, plenty of royal speculation. The King and his wife, Queen Camilla, finally took their thrones as the world watched on although many were more interested in the other royals in attendance with Prince Harry attending without Meghan and Andrew nestled closer to the back of the audience.

15,000 screenwriters who are members of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) have been on strike since 2 May. Although this may seem unrelated to all of us, many of us enjoy the shows that have now been paused mid-production. Stranger Things, The Last of Us and many other favourites have been halted or postponed until the writers and the studios reach an agreement.

Rafa Nadal’s Home Nearing Completion

The tennis champion from Manacor and his wife could finally move to their new home at the beginning of the summer after three years under construction. Situated on a 7,000 square metre plot of land in the highest part of Porto Cristo the huge property will feature a landscaped garden, and a swimming pool, and we can assume that a tennis court will feature somewhere in the plans!

Andrea Bocelli, Welsh bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel and Chinese pianist Lang Lang were also on the bill bringing some more culture to an otherwise energetic concert.

Ballroom champion and TV judge, Len Goodman passed away aged 78 from bone cancer on April 22nd. The much-loved judge of Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars entertained audiences for years with his kind yet direct manner and his cheeky quips and has left a huge hall in the world of ballroom dancing.

Amanda O’Riordan x

I love a jumpsuit in the winter and a playsuit in the summer – but this spring into summer season is all about the Boiler Suit.

The other day I wore a boiler suit out to lunch. The men at the table laughed and made the usual comments about whether I was looking for a car to service – though admittedly it was in Kwik Fit Blue. The women, meanwhile, oohed and aaahed, understanding full-well the appeal of this long-overlooked item of clothing.

So, what exactly is a boiler suit? Well, it’s more relaxed than its cousin the jumpsuit, and far less sexy than its younger sibling, the playsuit. It has none of the comical undertones of its in-law, the onesie; nor does it have the more formal whiff of its colleague, the ‘all-in-one’.

Given that boiler suits were originally a hard-wearing uniform staple for tradesmen in the 1920s, they usually come in an array of utilitarian fabrics – denim, cotton, occasionally corduroy.

Brown denim short-sleeved, £118, free people.com; adidas trainers, £80, schuh. co.uk; jumper (around waist), £29.90, uniqlo. com

They are a relaxed, easy fit which makes it every woman’s friend, no matter what her shape or size is.

It could potentially be the hardest working item in your wardrobe. First, there’s the ease: no having to think about trouser and top combinations. Then, of course, there’s the layering possibilities. You can do a chunky jumper over a boiler suit, or a slim knit under it.

Anyday jumpsuit, £48, johnlewis. com; white sandals, £23.80, prettylittle thing.com

Organic denim, £165, jigsawonline.com; suede mule, £159, penelope chilvers.com; jumper, £29.90, uniqlo.com

Pink utility shortsleeve, £95, oliverbonas.com; leather sandals, £159, penelope chilvers.com

You can belt it with a cardigan to add an instant waist, or sling it over your shoulders for a relaxed, French vibe. Boiler suits can be casual and low-key or upmarket and sexy.

A boiler suit in pink, such as the Oliver Bonas one, or in yellow, like the Asos one, will serve you better than any Breton T-shirt – though both would look fabulous with a navy Breton layered beneath.

Leg shape is worth considering.

Yellow twill, £55, asos. com; trainers, £80, schuh. co.uk Dark-blue denim flared, £240, 7forallmankind. co.uk; cork sandals, £299, lkbennett.com

A relaxed, mom-jeans-style leg feels super casual, especially when paired with trainers. A super-wide leg in a soft chambray, like the Anyday jumpsuit from John Lewis can be lo-fi with a flat sandal, or high style with a heel. As for a high-waisted, slightly flared leg (above in 7 For All Mankind’s denim), it’s as much at home for a fancy meal out as it is a day at home.

So, this spring, do yourself a favour and invest in fashion’s greatest unsung hero – the boiler suit.

Me encantan los monos en invierno y los peleles en verano, pero esta temporada de primavera-verano me decanto por el mono.

El otro día me puse un mono para salir a comer. Los hombres de la mesa se rieron e hicieron los comentarios habituales sobre si estaba buscando un coche para hacer el mantenimiento, aunque hay que reconocer que era de color azul Kwik Fit. Las mujeres, por su parte, se quedaron boquiabiertas, comprendiendo perfectamente el atractivo de esta prenda de vestir tan olvidada.

¿Qué es exactamente un pelele? Bueno, es más relajado que su primo, el mono, y mucho menos sexy que su hermano pequeño, el traje de chaqueta. No tiene el matiz cómico de su pariente , el mono, ni el aire más formal de su colega, el “todo en uno”. Dado que los monos de trabajo eran originalmente un uniforme resistente para los comerciantes de los años 20, suelen estar disponibles en una amplia gama de tejidos utilitarios: vaqueros, algodón y, en ocasiones, pana.

Vaquero marrón de manga corta, 118 £, free people.com; deportivas adidas, 80 £, schuh. co.uk; jersey (alrededor de la cintura), 29,90 £, uniqlo.com

Su corte relajado y sencillo lo convierte en el aliado de cualquier mujer, sea cual sea su figura o su talla. Podría ser la prenda que más trabajo te dé en el armario. En primer lugar, por su facilidad: no hay que pensar en combinaciones de pantalón y top. Y, por supuesto, las posibilidades de combinación.

Puedes ponerte un jersey grueso encima de un mono o un jersey de punto fino debajo.

Mono Anyday, 48 £, johnlewis.com; sandalias blancas, 23,80 £, prettylittle thing.com

Tejano orgánico, 165 £, jigsawonline.com; mula de ante, 159 £, penelope chilvers.com; jersey, 29,90 £, uniqlo.com

Manga corta utilitaria rosa, 95 £, oliverbonas.com; sandalias de piel, 159 £, penelope chilvers.com

Puedes abrocharte un cárdigan a la cintura , o colgártelo sobre los hombros para conseguir un aire relajado y francés. Los trajes de chaqueta pueden ser informales y discretos o elegantes y sexys. Un mono en rosa, como el de Oliver Bonas, o en amarillo, como el de Asos, te sentará mejor que cualquier camiseta bretona, aunque ambos quedarían fabulosos con una bretona azul marino debajo. Hay que tener en cuenta la forma de la pierna.

Sarga amarilla, 55 £, asos. com; deportivas, 80 £, schuh. co.uk Vaqueros acampanados azul oscuro, 240 £, 7forallmankind. co.uk; sandalias de corcho, 299 £, lkbennett.com

Una pierna relajada al estilo mom-jeans resulta muy informal, sobre todo si se combina con deportivas. Una pierna superancha en un suave chambray, como el mono Anyday de John Lewis, puedes ponertelo con una sandalia plana, o de estilo alto con un tacón. En cuanto a la pierna de talle alto y ligeramente acampanada (arriba, en tejido vaquero de 7 For All Mankind), sirve tanto para una comida elegante fuera como para un día en casa.

Men’s Summer Swimwear 2023

Already fantasising about lounging by that swimming pool this summer? Thankfully, 2023 is promising plenty more poolside action than the past few years, so it’s time to think about a pair of swim shorts which will make you stand out from the crowd. If you’re the kind of man who has worn the same chlorine-beaten swimmers for years on end (or the sort who simply forgets to buy a new pair and has to settle for whatever rubbish is on offer at the airport), now is the time to check out the styles that’ll look best on you.

Here’s a breakdown of the big trends for 2023, plus all the best swim shorts to pack for the Balearics this year.

Metallic sheens

For summer ‘23, there’s a big trend for swim shorts with oil-spill high-shine metallic finishes. They,’ll come into their own as the sun shines on them and look especially cool underwater. It’s all about swimwear glistening to perfection.

Fun florals

Florals? For your summer holiday? Ground breaking. Well, actually, the SS23 wave of floral-print swim-shorts takes things in an artistic new direction, be it through abstract stylings or playful, pop-arty vibes.

Tailored to perfection

There’s a very different vibe to be had at the poolside, dependent on whether you go drawstring or tailored, but the latter is really upping the ante this season. We have, after all, been stuck at home in loungewear during the pandemic, so why wouldn’t you add someth

ing smart to your holiday wardrobe.

Short, sporty and see-through

Whether you’re the kind of man who idolises retro 70s or who simply wants people to know you never miss leg day, the good news for you is that retro, really short shorts are as big this summer as they have ever been. Generally, they’ll have throwback contrast piping and an elasticated drawstring waist. Worn with slides and a white tee, they look seriously cool by the pool. And that draws attention away from the crotch area. And now for some of the best men’s swim shorts…

TOM FORD

Notoriously seductive, Tom Ford’s vision is often characterised by dusky tones, metallic detailing, or animalistic patterns. Here to encourage you to embrace your wild side, the refined fashion house has brought forth its tailored swimmers in an all-over leopard print and thigh-skimming length. Eye watering price-tag though.

£430. At matchesfashion.com

SANDRO

Known for chic Parisian styles given a healthy helping of rock‘n’roll edge, Sandro’s designs elevate those most discerning of menswear silhouettes to new heights. Case in point: this sharp pair of drawstring swim shorts have been elevated via a panelled stripe design in a range of oceanic blues.

£159. sandro-paris.com

PRADA

Prada’s Re-Nylon fabric is pretty much the GOAT when it comes to swimwear (or just about anything, for that matter). The sustainable

fabric, made from recycled ocean plastics, has been elevated in typical Prada style here with a monochromatic colourway trimmed in white stitching.

£490. prada.com

GUCCI

Gucci’s GG motif hits even harder when it’s magnified underwater. And with signature colour motifs such as the green and red web stripe to offset the dusty camel backdrop, you’ll struggle to find a bigger poolside flex than these. Alternatively, style with a retro knitted polo shirt for a high-fashion resort look.

£650. gucci.com

BURBERRY

There’ll be no mistaking the origin story of these swimmers. Decorated in Burberry’s instantly-recognisable archive check, these drawstring swim shorts are an easy way to flex at the poolside, and will work wonders for casual summer ‘fits when drawing on the colours of the pattern elsewhere.

Bañadores para hombres para el verano de 2023

¿Ya estás fantaseando con relajarte en la piscina este verano? Afortunadamente, el verano de 2023 promete más acción junto a la piscina que en los últimos años, así que es hora de pensar en un par de bañadores que te hagan destacar entre la multitud.

Si eres de los que llevan años usando el mismo bañador, desgastado por el cloro (o de los que se olvidan de comprar un par nuevo y tienen que conformarse con cualquier basura que les ofrezcan en el aeropuerto), ahora es el momento de echar un vistazo a los estilos que mejor te sientan.

Aquí tienes un desglose de las grandes tendencias para el 2023, además de los mejores shorts de baño para llevar a las Baleares este año.

Brillos metálicos

Para el verano ‘23, hay una gran tendencia para los bañadores con acabados metálicos de alto brillo. Son ideales para cuando les da el sol y resultan especialmente chulos bajo el agua. Los bañadores brillan a la perfección.

Flores divertidas

¿Florales? ¿Para tus vacaciones de verano? Rompedor. Bueno, en realidad, la colección SS23 de bañadores con estampados florales toma una nueva dirección artística, ya sea a través de estilos abstractos o de vibraciones divertidas y pop.

Confeccionados a la perfección

El ambiente que se respira en la piscina es muy diferente según se opte por los bañadores de cordón o por los de corte entallado, pero estos últimos están apostando alto esta temporada. Después de todo, durante la pandemia nos hemos quedado en casa con ropa de estar por casa, así que ¿por qué no añadir algo elegante a tu armario de vacaciones?

Confeccionados a la perfección

El ambiente que se respira en la piscina es muy diferente según se opte por los bañadores de cordón o por los de corte entallado, pero estos últimos están apostando alto esta temporada. Después de todo, durante la pandemia nos hemos quedado en casa con ropa de estar por casa, así que ¿por qué no añadir algo elegante a tu armario de vacaciones?

Corto, deportivo y transparente

Tanto si eres el tipo de hombre que idolatra los 70, retro, como si simplemente quieres que la gente sepa que nunca dejas pasar un día sin enseñar las piernas, la buena noticia para ti es que los pantalones cortos retro y realmente cortos están tan de moda este verano como nunca. Suelen tener ribetes en contraste y una cintura elástica con cordón. Si los llevas con chanclas y una camiseta blanca, te quedarán genial en la piscina. Y eso desvía la atención de otras zonas.

Y ahora, algunos de los mejores bañadores cortos para hombre...

TOM FORD

Notoriamente seductora, la visión de Tom Ford se caracteriza a menudo por sus tonos oscuros, detalles metálicos o estampados animales. Para animarte a abrazar tu lado salvaje, la refinada casa de moda ha sacado al mercado sus bañadores a medida con estampado de leopardo y largo hasta los muslos. El precio es de escándalo. £430. En matchesfashion.com

SANDRO

Conocidos por sus elegantes estilos parisinos con un toque rock’n’roll, los diseños de Sandro elevan las siluetas masculinas más exigentes a nuevas cotas. Un ejemplo: este elegante pantalón

corto de baño con cordón se ha mejorado con un diseño de rayas en paneles en una gama de azules oceánicos.

159 £. sandro-paris.com

PRADA

El tejido Re-Nylon de Prada es lo más cuando se trata de trajes de baño (o de cualquier otra cosa). Este tejido sostenible, fabricado a partir de plásticos oceánicos reciclados, se ha mejorado el estilo típico de Prada con una combinación de colores monocromática ribeteada con costuras blancas.

490 £. prada.com

GUCCI

El motivo GG de Gucci impacta aún más cuando se magnifica bajo el agua. Y con motivos de colores característicos como la franja verde y roja para compensar el fondo color camel polvoriento, te costará encontrar una prenda más flexible junto a la piscina. Como alternativa, combínalas con un polo de punto retro para un look de resort de alta costura.

650 £. gucci.com

BURBERRY

No hay duda del origen de estos bañadores. Decorados con el inconfundible estampado de cuadros de Burberry, estos bañadores cortos con cordón de ajuste, son una forma sencilla de lucirlos en la piscina, y harán las delicias de los looks informales veraniegos cuando se utilicen los colores del estampado en cualquier otro lugar.

RHOC: Martin & Hanna Discuss Teeth, Toddlers, and Treatments

It’s that time again when I touch base with the Kinsellas to see what they have been up to for the last month and to catch a glimpse into their busy lives…

By Ben Mulvey

If you have been watching ITVBe’s The Real Housewives of Cheshire, then you will have seen Hanna’s launch party for Icy Bear Cubs - the toothcare range that has been launched exclusively for kids. This range, as we mentioned previously, is accompanied by an app that encourages children to brush their teeth twice a day and shows them how to do it in a fun and engaging way. The app is launching on Monday the 22nd of May and can be downloaded from App Store and Google Play. The Icy Bear range of toothcare products will follow with preorders opening along with the app on the 22nd of May.

The last few episodes of Real Housewives of Cheshire are still airing on ITVBe and this season has been a real rollercoaster ride with a few heated moments between the wives, a new housewife joining the show, and all of the other drama that we have come to expect and love from the show. The final episode will be a reunion episode in which the Housewives all get back together to discuss the previous series and is set to be one to watch.

Martin has been as busy as ever with his clinic and his frequent trips to the clinic here in Mallorca. Dr Kinsella Skincare is set to launch on QVC on the 22nd of June which will increase the product’s reach and enable Martin to send it to more customers

and help more people achieve better skin at home. There is some exciting news for Martin’s clients in Mallorca, a new treatment is now available in the clinic that promises to make skin look two years younger with just a simple, non-invasive and non-surgical treatment. This treatment uses exomes to improve the skin’s elasticity, strength, and appearance. It can help with acne, stretch marks and other scars and the effects are usually noticeable within a few treatments and last for up to 12 months. Form an orderly queue now…

Aside from their busy professional lives, the couple also have two toddlers at home to keep them busy when that front door closes in the evening after a long day at work. Max is growing up fast and is chatting away about anything and everything, although football remains this little man’s passion. Kimia, the little princess in the family, has just turned one and is crawling around and keeping Mum and Dad on their feet.

Hopefully, in 12 months’ time, the family can relax once their dream property in Mallorca is under construction and all of the paperwork has been completed! In the meantime, they will be here on the island for a well-deserved family holiday in August to catch up with their family and friends on the island.

The current series of The Real Housewives of Cheshire is airing on ITVBe and ITV X. Martin’s clinic, Re-Enhance Medicina Asthetica is located on Avenida del Rey Jaime I, 108 in Santa Ponsa and enquiries and appointments can be made by contacting info@re-enhance.com. To find out more about Dr Kinsella Skincare visit www.drkinsella.com and for everything Icy Bear Dental head to www.icybeardental. com.

IBIZA

Ibiza has been buzzing and fizzing for the past couple of months and is about to pop itself a mahoosive and impressive 2023 clubbing summer cork for you lovelies and personally, I’m gagging for everything that’s in store! DJs, promoters and the movers and shakers that make the cogs in the White Isle wheel turn have returned early this season to up their A-game.

To quote Human Resource Dominator 90’s banger, expect what’s on offer to be “bigger and bolder and rougher and tougher, in other words, sucker there is no other”

Durante los últimos meses Ibiza ha estado con mucho bullicio y se está preparando para la temporada del verano 2023 , Personalmente, ¡no puedo esperar a ver todo lo que nos puede ofrecer! DJs, promotores y todos aquellos que hacen girar los engranajes de la Isla Blanca, han vuelto a principios de esta temporada para darlo todo. Citando a Human Resource Dominator de los 90, el cartel será “más grande, más atrevido, más duro y más áspero, en otras palabras, no hay otro igual”

IBIZA! I’m back again for the third year running as Ibiza Pride Manager and I’m so happy to be working again alongside my good friend Ibiza Pride Director Antonio Balibrea - DJ San Balibrea. Ibiza Pride takes place 9th - 17th June and it’s gonna be huge with stage events taking place all week, closing with the allimportant Great March for LGBTQIA QTIPOC Rights. Catch me on the main stage DJing both the opening and closing events. For this Ibiza Pride, I’m beyond proud to welcome my friends Club Promoters Steven Braines and Sophia Kearney onboard with their incredible queer party on steroids

HE.SHE.THEY. So much work goes on behind the scenes with Pride events as we start planning a year in advance but I think this year’s Pride is probably the most exciting one that there has ever been. And…I’ve just bagged a biggie for 2024 so make sure you look out for that news release in spring 2024 because “the boy done good” with something very special! Another personal DJ career highlight happened recently, I was booked to spin for Clockwork Orange Final Printworks party in London alongside my b2b DJ husband Danny Oliver, a sad but happy mix of emotions as this clubbing venue stalwart will sadly be no more but I would like to say a huge thank you to Printworks for the memories, clubbing sensation moments, your love and pioneering spirit. I was in total awe of the DJs that were on the Clockwork lineup as they were all favourites of mine from back in the day, David Morales, Todd Terry, Seb Fontaine, Ratpack, and Jumping Jack Frost to name but

a few but what made this event even more personally impressive was filming the pilot for a new TV series which I am one of the presenters of.

For once my lips are firmly lip glossed and sealed until the commission is in the bag but what I can say is one of the other five presenters is Winn Austin, my dear friend of more than 30 years. Yup, it’s Winn the fabulous MC from the famous 90’s London party Kinky Gerlinky! Those boys Andy Manston and Danny Clockwork the Clockwork Orange Promoters, how do they do it each time bringing The Orange Army parties that make other parties look beige in comparison? They have the most incredible week-long Clockwork Orange 30th Anniversary in July but check this and get your tickets now before this sells out! For the first time ever, Clockwork Classical takes to Ibiza’s Recinto Ferial on July 23; a 30-piece orchestra replaying classic club tracks at an electrifying open-air spectacle led by musical arranger and conductor Matthew Freeman of the London Symphonic and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras. It starts at twilight after a day of top artists and I’ll be DJing for Clocky with Danny Oliver so come and say hello if you spot us at any of the Clocky events.

Have a fantastic summer folks and I’ll be back again soon to share more about the new TV Series called Clubbed Together!

¡IBIZA! Vuelvo por tercer año consecutivo como manager del Ibiza Pride y estoy muy contento de volver a trabajar junto a mi buen amigo Antonio Balibrea, director del Ibiza Pride - DJ San Balibrea. El Ibiza Pride tendrá lugar del 9 al 17 de junio y va a ser grandioso, con eventos en el escenario durante toda la semana que culminarán con la gran marcha por los derechos QTIPOC LGBTQIA. Me encontrarás en el escenario principal presentando los actos de apertura y clausura. Para este Ibiza Pride, estoy orgulloso de dar la bienvenida a mis amigos promotores de clubes Steven Braines y Sophia Kearney con su increíble fiesta gay.

EL, ELLA, ELLOS. Hay mucho trabajo entre bastidores para los eventos del Orgullo, ya que empezamos a planificarlos con un año de antelación, pero creo que el Orgullo de este año es probablemente el más emocionante que ha habido nunca. Y... acabo de conseguir un gran contrato para 2024, así que no os perdáis el comunicado de prensa en la primavera de 2024, porque “¡vaya si lo ha hecho bien” con algo muy especial! Otro punto culminante de mi carrera como DJ ocurrió hace poco, me contrataron para presentar la fiesta final de la Naranja Mecánica en Printworks, Londres, junto a mi marido DJ b2b Danny Oliver. Es una mezcla de emociones tristes y alegres ya que este club desaparecerá, pero me gustaría dar las gracias a Printworks por los recuerdos, los sensacionales momentos en el club, su amor y espíritu pionero. Estaba totalmente asombrado por los DJs que formaban parte del cartel de Clockwork, ya que todos eran mis favoritos de la época: David Morales, Todd Terry, Seb Fontaine, Ratpack y Jumping Jack Frost, por nombrar algunos, pero lo que hizo que este evento fuera aún más impresionante a nivel personal fue el rodaje del capitulo piloto para una nueva serie de televisión de la que soy uno de los presentadores. Por una vez, mis labios están firmemente sellados hasta que el Proyecto esté firmado, pero puedo decir que uno de los otros cinco presentadores es Winn Austin, mi querida amiga desde hace más de 30 años. Sí, es Winn, la fabulosa presentadora de la famosa fiesta londinense de los 90, ¡Kinky Gerlinky! Andy Manston y Danny

Clockwork, los promotores de la Naranja Mecánica, ¿cómo se las arreglan para organizar siempre fiestas Orange Army que hacen que otras fiestas parezcan sobrias en comparación? En julio organizarán la semana más increíble del 30 aniversario de la Naranja Mecánica, ¡pero asegúrate de comprobarlo y comprar tus entradas antes de que se agoten! Por primera vez en la historia, Clockwork Classical toma el Recinto Ferial de Ibiza el 23 de julio; una orquesta de 30 músicos recrea clásicos del club en un electrizante espectáculo al aire libre dirigido por el arreglista musical y director Matthew Freeman, de las orquestas London Symphony y Royal Philharmonic. El espectáculo comienza al anochecer, tras un día de actuaciones de lujo.

Seré DJ de Clocky con Danny Oliver, así que ven a saludarnos si nos ves en alguno de los eventos de Clocky. Para Ibiza Pride 2023 y entradas para The Clockwork Orchestra, sigue los enlaces aquí o en Instagram@djmikeyslade. ¡Que paséis un verano fantastico y volveré pronto para hablaros de la nueva serie de televisión Clubbed Together!

ART & APEROL

What is the aperitif moment?

Aperol is a summer cocktail which intensively communicates with art, advertising, music & lifestyle, achieving resending success in Italy and around the world. The name Spritz comes from the German word for “splash” or “spray”.

It´s important to know that the spritz is an appetitive- a lower alcohol-content drink consumed before a meal to stimulate, or “open the appetite”.

THE POWER OF SENSUALITY

In the current exhibition at HMH Gallery in Port Andratx, 28 female artists show their art positions on the theme of „Absolute Feminine“.

On display are 42 works ranging from abstract, expressionist, informal and concrete to figurative, playful and oldmasterly, as well as consributions from pop art, comics and digital art.

But what does „absolutely feminine“ mean here? Does it refer to the design, the motifs? A different - female - way of looking at things?

Do women paint differently?

A first clue is given by the invitation card, on which a naked, voluptuous young woman is gleefully licking a red heart lollipop with a razor blade stuck in it.

The master pieces in oil by Lilli Hill ,

absolute feminin

WOMEN ONLY

Group exhibition @ Port Andratx

who is known for her polarising and humorous nude paintings, radiates a real power of sensuality.

Only at second glance do I discover the razor blade. Sensuality here probably means giving oneself completely and that can be very dangerous - love makes you vulnerable and yet it is the most beautiful and important thing in the world.

When asked why he chose this particular painting for the invitation card, gallery manager and curator Andreas Streicher says that it radiates the essence of the feminine: sensuality and power. In his opinion, female artists are usually more sensitive in their approach, colouring, design and subjects. Nevertheless, they are strong, powerful personalities by nature, otherwise they could not pursue this profession. The art world is still dominated by men, so it is important that women should be equally challenged and shown by galleries.

The first thing that catches my eye are the realistic works in the exhibition. Inga Mihailovic painted an impressive picture of world champion Michael Schuhmacher . The work appears light and airy despite contrasts of red &black. Lorena Steinmann ‘s Udo Lindenberg in street and pop art style is harmoniously and subtly coloured in black, white and steamed green-grey.

A two-meter-long American dollar note with a female likeness of the artist herself is Icon Zar ‘s Russian answer to American Popartincluding a lipstick kissing mouth and the message:

„ From Russia with Love “.

With both artists, there is no trace of garish pop art, as oftenshown by male colleagues. Sensual and humorous. Colourfully painted in pink and lilac and yet very sensitively, Judith Sturm ‘s „Sorbet Flamingos“ look out at the viewer. She works with oil paint and a salt technique that she herself calls „Informal Realism“.

Opposite the Sorbet Flamingos stands a chrome-plated larger-than-life flamingo sculpture by ZooZoo , whose sensitive handwriting always lends her animal figures grace and an endearing personality.

Using suminagashi, the special Japanese technique on silk, Yuko paints her wonderful flowing trees on water, creating extraordinary colour gradients and textures that create a meditative aura.

The large-format photographic art of Kristina Toussaint shows graceful, sensual women in the nature of Mallorca. Delicate and gossamer in powder tones, a cheerfully relaxed portrait of a girl by Beate Arens looks at us. She combines graphic elements in glaze technique withcollaged flowers. Directly opposite, in a similar, pastel colour scheme, is a collage of hundreds of small photos of Sophia Loren - the Italian icon, the epitome of sensuality and femininity.

A small, delicate yet powerful work. Mara ‘s colourful, comic-like lion‘s head consists of thousands of pointed dabs of colour placed next to each other a special technique that requires a lot of sensitivity and perseverance and is a real eye-catcher of the exhibition.

Katja Nordmeyer ‘s emotional portrait of Jeremy Meeks is characterised by a technique using filler and colours, the surface of which has become cracked and is intended to allude to fragility as well as transience.

Ulrike von Schrader ‘s expressionist painting of Iberian pigs seems somewhat removed from the subject matter, but a second glance reveals that females are certainly depicted here, for pigs are social animals that live in herds led by females. Speaking of pigs. A small sensa tion of the exhibition is the artwork „Green Eyed Creature“ by a female pig named Pigcasso

An informal floor installation with royal blue and black flowing structures by Alina Poloboc has a profound and mysterious effect. Likewise „Data“, a bright work in pastel and aquatones, which is com pletely inscribed with runes and made accessible by Eva Konya only to a small circle of initiates. It lives from the mysterious aura of the enigma and its ethereal painting style.

Sely ‘s mixture of tribal, street and pop art in the work „Resurection of Phoenix“, on the other hand, is absolutely powerful in its expression and at the same time feminine in its colouring. Finally, I would like to note the outstanding, concrete works of Petra Rös-Nickel . The colourful, but clearly structured arrangement of elongated colour fields is the clear signature of the etablished German painter. In my opinion, the work combines sense, sensibi lityc & power.

Painted and collaged into them is a larger-than-life Sophia with a pensive or dreamy look. An expressive work by Dagmar Ridky Susanne Stoffer‘s seascape „Water Street“ with green buoys reminiscent of vessels, a classic symbol of the feminine, has a more expressionistic effect. Inma Pascual ‘s watercolour painted koi are sweeping and harmonious.

The famous animal from Cape Town and its owner Joanne Lefson have been featured on television many times.

The exhibition includes other impressive abstract canvas works by Allegra Esclapon , Lisa Dehmel , Isolde Folger , Frauke Klatt , Brigitta Nottebohm , Donna Mc Cain , Gunda Jastorff , and Martina Wernicke , which are very finely and meticulously worked with delicate transitions.

I can agree more and more with Andreas Streicher. Women artists have a different view of things. The power of their work lies in the subtle and the delicate.

The exhibit ion „Absolute Feminine“ is worth a visit to let the works have a direct effect on you.

SOLLER VALLEY STORIES

by Soller Shirley

We are in the month of glory and beauty in the Soller Valley.  Orange blossom and flowers of every colour and scent are all around us.  Local gardeners do a great job but nature itself takes over the Valley and gives us carpets of flowers and late blossom.  The brides of May and June often have orange blossom somewhere in their ceremony. Garlands in their hair or in their bouquets are tradition for a Soller bride. Where there is a wedding there is happiness and gatherings of family and friends. This is amazing to be part of and also to watch.  The centre of Soller is a wedding venue almost every weekend of the summer.

Shirley Roberts

Celebrations start now and don’t finish until into October.  Fiestas in Soller for the Moors and Christians, give way to all neighbouring Villages having their own three-day celebration, of life.  This is accompanied by live music and many events, celebrated by all age groups. The beach comes into its own now and becomes the place to take that early evening stroll and stop for a drink or two.  Sunset watching is a feature of the season and local children come out to have their beach time after school. The centre of town relocates for the summer months and takes its place all along the perfect horseshoe bay, which is the

Port of Soller.  Watch out this month for the Painters who come our way and set up their easels where they find inspiration.  By the seashore, in the centre of Soller, in Fornalutx Square, Binibassi and Biniaraix are all places our artists love.  The ‘light’ of May and June is inspirational for this group, and we love to see them every year.  They drink in the beauty and then replicate it in water colours.  Weddings, art, flowers, and the concerts which can be found in our Churches and Cultural centres this month, make the Soller Valley an ‘Oasis of Culture’.  Visit us soon…

Estamos en el mes de la gloria y la belleza en el Valle de Sóller. Azahar y flores de todos los colores y aromas nos rodean. Los jardineros locales hacen un gran trabajo pero la propia naturaleza se apodera del Valle y nos regala alfombras de flores y azahar. Las novias de mayo y junio suelen llevar azahar en algún lugar de su ceremonia. Las guirnaldas en el pelo o en los ramos son tradición para una novia de Sóller. Donde hay una boda hay felicidad y reuniones de familiares y amigos. Es increíble formar parte de ello y también contemplarlo. El centro de Sóller es escenario de bodas casi todos los fines de semana del verano.

Las celebraciones empiezan ahora y no terminan hasta entrado octubre.

Las fiestas de Moros y Cristianos de Sóller dan paso a las celebraciones de tres días de todos los pueblos vecinos. Esto se acompaña de música en vivo y muchos eventos, celebrados por todos los grupos de edad.

La playa se convierte en el lugar ideal para pasear al atardecer y tomar una copa o dos. La observación de las puestas de sol es una característica de la temporada y los niños de la zona acuden a la playa después del colegio. El centro de la ciudad se traslada

durante los meses de verano y ocupa su lugar a lo largo de la perfecta bahía de herradura que es el Puerto de Sóller.

Atentos este mes a los Pintores que se acercan y montan sus caballetes donde encuentran la inspiración. A orillas del mar, en el centro de Sóller, en la Plaza Fornalutx, Binibassi y Biniaraix son lugares que nuestros artistas adoran. La “luz” de mayo y junio es inspiradora para este grupo, y nos encanta verlos todos los años. Absorben la belleza y luego la reproducen en acuarelas. Bodas, arte, flores, y los conciertos que se pueden encontrar en nuestras Iglesias y Centros Culturales este mes, hacen del Valle de Soller un ‘Oasis de Cultura’. Visítenos pronto...

The Global Wellness Market and The Future of Wellness in Mallorca in Mallorca

In the past two articles, I’ve tried to set the Wellness scene both internationally and in Mallorca. So you’ll be glad to know we have now covered the boring nitty gritty details and can now focus on the more fun stuff!

From here on I will be bringing you the latest news and activities from around the island of Mallorca.

Wellness Warrior Mallorca amanda@wellnesstraveller.co

From here on I will be bringing you the latest news and activities from around the island of Mallorca. I’ll be introducing you to some of the glorious hotels and wellness services we have to offer, some exciting experiences that might even get some of the old-school expats and locals excited, as well as introducing you to some very inspiring islanders working in the field of Wellness.

To start, I would love to share with you a wonderful Mindfullness Retreat I was invited to attend at the end of April, hosted and run by the brand-new Luxury 5 Star El Vicenc de la Mar Hotel & Spa in Cala San Vicenc. To say I was thrilled to be invited to this event so early in my official journey in the Wellness industry is an understatement.

We were welcomed by a super-friendly receptionist who greeted us with a lovely smile and genuine warmth on checking in.

We were then taken to our room - a deluxe room with very generously sized twin beds and a private pool on the 1st floor of the hotel. Our bags were waiting for us with two yoga mats, our itinerary for the weekend and a lovely hand-written welcome note. Walking out onto the terrace and looking across the pool, which was shared with five other rooms, the view over the small beach to the glorious turquoise sea with the mountain backdrop was a pleasure in itself! With only ten minutes to spare before the

introduction workshop began, we set off for the library to meet the other participants. We were part of a group of six, and whilst not wishing to go into too much detail, as this type retreat wouldn’t suit everyone’s taste, particularly some of the male readers of this column (but I’d love to receive their comments if they do read this, just to get an indication!), but to provide a brief overview, it was curated by a clinical psychologist and professional specialist in therapeutic Mindfulness retreats, Jose Luis Reig, the objective was to re-establish the connection between mind and body. The retreat included a workshop with insights into the latest scientific studies on neuroscience, which were fascinating, a workshop on the health benefits of quality sleep, and how to improve it, ‘Active Listening’ techniques (there are a number of people I can think of who perhaps need to participate in that…) and some guided Mindfullness sessions. In addition, we enjoyed three wonderful yoga and ‘gentle gymnastics’ sessions right beside the sea with the lovely professional dancer and yoga instructor Cristina Moreno. Such a heavenly spot!

One true highlight of the retreat was naturally the venue, in particular the food and the spa. As part of the Mallorca C Collection, the two Restaurants are run by the Michelin Star Santi Taura team.

En los dos últimos artículos, he intentado describir el panorama del bienestar tanto a nivel internacional como en Mallorca. Así que te alegrará saber que ya hemos cubierto los aspectos más aburridos y ahora podemos centrarnos en las cosas más divertidas.

con la montaña de fondo era una delicia! Cuando sólo quedaban 10 minutos para que empezara el taller de introducción, nos dirigimos a la biblioteca para reunirnos con los demás participantes. Éramos un grupo de seis en total, y no quiero entrar en demasiados detalles, ya que este retiro no será del gusto de todo el mundo (en particular de la mayoría de los lectores masculinos de esta columna, pero me encantaría recibir tus comentarios si lees esto, ¡sólo para tener una indicación!)

The retreat’s nutritional plan was curated by nutrition consultant Rosa Rullán and Clínica Morano, working with the Santa Taura team preparing it.  It was lovely, but we weren’t necessarily here for a dietary plan, no matter how nice the one course was! We wanted to enjoy the menu as it’s not every weekend you can enjoy a menu prepared by a Michelin Star team. I’m pleased to report that the staff were super-flexible, and we were able to make our choice from the main menu, which we found delicious, including the dessert! Nothing wrong with a little of “what takes your fancy,” as my Mother would always say, even on a Wellness retreat.  We were also given enough time to enjoy the Ç Wellness Studio, one of the most allinclusive spas in the north of Mallorca. It has everything you need to carry out a complete thermal circuit, including the 13-metre-long heated pool, cold water plunge pool, sauna, steam room and a treatment area.  You can add to this a lovely lunch on the upper pool terrace and a few hours lying by the roof-top pool - all of this made up a perfect recipe for a blissful weekend. It’s also worth noting that this beautiful boutique hotel offers bicycle storage, a library and games room, and even a cinema. It’s a great new addition to the stunning array of hotels we now offer on the island, and one which I would highly recommend. For this and many other

A partir de ahora te traeré las últimas noticias y actividades de la isla de Mallorca. Les presentaré algunos de los magníficos hoteles y servicios de bienestar que tenemos para ofrecer, algunas experiencias emocionantes que incluso podrían entusiasmar a algunos de los expatriados y locales de la vieja escuela, así como presentarles a algunos isleños muy inspiradores que trabajan en el campo del bienestar.

Para empezar, me encantaría compartir con vosotros un maravilloso Retiro de Mindfullness al que fui invitada a finales de abril, organizado y dirigido por el flamante y lujoso 5* El Vicenc de la Mar Hotel & Spa en Cala San Vicenc (Cala San Vicente). Decir que me encantó que me invitaran tan pronto en mi viaje oficial en la industria del bienestar es quedarse corto.

Nos recibió una recepcionista muy amable que nos saludó con una sonrisa encantadora y una calidez genuina al registrarnos. Nos llevaron a nuestra habitación, una habitación de lujo con dos camas individuales muy grandes y nuestra propia piscina en la primera planta del hotel. Nos esperaban nuestras maletas con 2 esterillas de yoga, nuestro itinerario para el fin de semana y una encantadora nota de bienvenida escrita a mano. ¡Al salir a la terraza y mirar a través de nuestra propia piscina (compartida con otras 5 habitaciones), la vista sobre la pequeña playa al glorioso mar turquesa

Pero para dar una breve visión general, fue comisariado por un psicólogo clínico y especialista profesional en retiros terapéuticos de Mindfulness, José Luis Reig; el objetivo es restablecer la conexión entre la mente y el cuerpo. El retiro incluyó un taller sobre los últimos estudios científicos en neurociencia -que fueron fascinantes-, un taller sobre los beneficios para la salud de un sueño de calidad, y cómo mejorarlo, Técnicas de “Escucha Activa” (se me ocurre mucha gente que necesita participar en eso...) y algunas sesiones guiadas de Mindfulness. Además, disfrutamos de tres maravillosas sesiones de yoga y “gimnasia suave” junto al mar con la encantadora bailarina profesional e instructora de yoga Cristina Moren, así como de una hermosa caminata al amanecer. ¡Simplemente celestial! Uno de los aspectos más destacados del retiro fue, naturalmente, el lugar, en particular la comida y el spa. Como parte de la Mallorca C Collection, los dos restaurantes están dirigidos por el equipo de Santi Taura, galardonado con una estrella Michelin. El plan nutricional del retiro fue elaborado por la consultora en nutrición Rosa Rullán y la Clínica Morano, que trabajaron con el equipo de Santa Taura en su preparación. Fue encantador, pero para ser sinceros no estábamos aquí para un plan dietético, ¡por muy bueno que fuera el único plato! Queríamos disfrutar del menú ya que, admitámoslo, no todos los fines de semana se puede disfrutar de un menú preparado por un equipo galardonado con una estrella Michelin. Me complace decir que fueron muy flexibles y pudimos elegir entre el menú principal del restaurante U Mayol, que estaba delicioso, ¡incluido el postre! No hay nada malo en probar “lo que te apetezca”, como decía siempre mi madre, incluso en un retiro de bienestar.

También nos dieron tiempo suficiente para

disfrutar del Ç Wellness Studio, uno de los spas más completos del norte de Mallorca. Dispone de todo lo necesario para realizar un circuito termal completo, incluida la piscina climatizada de 13 metros de largo, la piscina de inmersión de agua fría, la sauna, la sala de vapor y una zona de tratamientos. A esto se le puede añadir un agradable almuerzo en la terraza superior de la piscina y unas horas tumbado junto a la piscina de la azotea: todo ello conforma una receta perfecta para pasar un fin de semana de felicidad. Merece la pena destacar que este precioso hotel boutique también ofrece servicio de guardabicicletas, biblioteca y sala de juegos, e incluso una sala de cine. Se trata de una nueva incorporación a la impresionante oferta hotelera de la isla, que recomiendo encarecidamente. Los retiros de fin de semana en El Vicenc cuestan a partir de 990 euros por persona fuera de temporada. Para consultar esta y otras muchas ofertas de hoteles, experiencias y terapias holísticas, visite el nuevo sitio WellnessTraveller.co. Si desea ponerse en contacto conmigo para compartir su oferta de bienestar, ya sea como proveedor de servicios, de experiencias o porque le gustaría compartir sus recomendaciones, estaré encantada de escucharle en amanda@ wellnesstraveller.com.

5 Tips to get stronger and more powerful

Feeling lethargic?

Here’s 5 Tips to give you the Edge in becoming stronger and more powerful.

Tips

Stronger & more powerful

Social Interaction

Spending time with friends and family in this challenging A. I. time of our human evolution has never been more important. Talking with our mouths, out loud, not just communicating by typing on a keyboard. Expressing ourselves and our feelings/ emotions to those that are willing to listen. Time in the company of more than 1 or 2 people, like in a group situation or a social meeting has so many profound benefits on all levels of our existence.

Nutrition

There is so much information out there on Nutrition that I feel I don’t need to go into it here. The old saying, “You are what you eat” rings true as much now as it did years ago. Start by planning your meals in advance. Make a list before going shopping. Also look at what you are eating, at what time of the day, and what type of food you begin with and follow up with. For me, the best thing I have ever done is Intermittent Fasting. It REALLY works!

Exercise / Movement

Twenty minutes, three times a week. That’s all you need to start. This is so important for ourselves to increase our power and strength. We have all heard and know the benefits of regular exercise. It is not a question of when you are going to start, but why haven’t you started already?

Sleep

Scientists state that sleeping six to seven hours a night is all we need. We find that we get sick less often, stay at a healthy weight, lower our risk for serious health problems, like diabetes and heart disease. Reduce stress and improve our mood. Think more clearly and do better in school and at work, get along better with people, + + +

Too much sleep, like eight hours plus is associated with Type 2 diabetes, Heartdisease, obesity, depression, headaches, back pain, upset body’s rhythms and increase daytime fatigue, + + + So, do your own research and work out what is best for you.

Need help on your mental and spiritual journey?

The time to change is NOW!

Scientists state that sleeping six to seven hours a night is all we need. We find we get sick less often, stay at a healthy weight, lower our risk of serious health problems, like diabetes and heart disease. Reduce stress and improve mood.

Think more clearly and do better in school, work and get along better with people:

* Mental coaching

* Pain relief

* Lifestyle changes

* Energy enhancement

* Emotional Stability

Daylight

Early morning sunlight, from 7am (or when it first appears) to 9am is ideal and helps generate Vitamin D. Many Yogic Traditions encourage this practice. The morning sun activates the production of serotonin in your body by triggering certain areas in our retina. The serotonin hormone is associated with boosting our mood and helping you feel calm and focused. The sun later in the day can be too strong to look directly into. So, it is best to avoid this. One way to know if it is to late is that it will hurt your eyes.

It also helps kill bacteria, reduces blood pressure, reduces the risk of cancer, strengthens your bones, helps sleep quality, hair growth, boosts those feelgood hormones, + + +

Too much sleep, like eight hours plus, is associated with Type 2 diabetes, Heart disease, obesity, depression, headaches, back pain, upset rhythms and more.

HIGHWAY TO A BETTER LIFE

How to Live a Harmonious Life

It could be said that a harmonious life is a balanced, pleasant, peaceful life... a life where you are in tune with yourself, surrounded by people with whom you have mutual affection and respect, where you can grow spiritually and intellectually, a life marked by serenity and contentment and where you feel appreciated, valued, understood and accepted.

I am Betina von Hohendorff certified as an NLP - Trainer / Ericksonian Hypnosis and Coach by Mindovers.

A harmonious life requires that you have compassion and respect for yourself and others, accept people as they are and listen with the intention to discover and learn new things, to understand, who the person in front of you really is.

To lead a more harmonious life it is important to:

Start by connecting with your inner self, get to know yourself, and define yourself as a person by learning virtues such as ethics, morals, honesty and humility. After connecting with yourself you will be able to better connect with friends, family, partners, neighbours, acquaintances, clients or with anyone who crosses your path. Focus your efforts on handling any disharmony in their lives in a generous and compassionate way and on giving back to the people in your community.

Also, do your best to maintain your own sense of harmony, as it will help you to feel in tune with others.

Being tolerant is an essential key to preserving harmony. It means being open-minded and accepting of others’ beliefs, opinions, and practices, this is respecting and valuing differences between people. It’s a great quality to have.

Being tolerant has many benefits, including:

· Helping people to live together peacefully.

· Encouraging personal development by being open to other ways of thinking.

· It can lead to a more positive environment with more open communication.

· It can lead to a more creative and innovative spirit in problem-solving and decisionmaking.

History has shown that human beings have succeeded in all conditions whenever they have lived in unison. The moment they were divided, they faced great consequences. So, stay united, grow together and maintain a harmonious relationship with everyone, which will undoubtedly benefit you and society.

Work-life balance management refers to how people manage the time they spend at work and the time they spend on other activities. Harmony between work and personal and social life involves incorporating work into the rest of life in a way that promotes happiness at home, in the social sphere and at work.

Leading a harmonious life is absolutely essential for happiness and fulfilment. To set better goals, to create better relationships, and to connect better with our inner selves.

Some things or people in life are bad and can make you really angry or terribly sad. Other things make you swear and curse. When this happens, don’t complain. Accept it as a learning experience or a test of your own emotional intelligence. This will help things go in a better direction. Amongst all of the bad, there is something

Podríamos decir que una vida armoniosa es una vida equilibrada, agradable, pacífica... una vida en la que estás en sintonía contigo mismo, rodeado de personas con las que tienes afecto y respeto mutuos, en la que puedes crecer espiritual e intelectualmente, una vida marcada por la serenidad y la satisfacción y en la que te sientes apreciado, valorado, comprendido y aceptado. Una vida armoniosa requiere que tengas compasión y respeto. Ten compasión y respeto por ti mismo y por los demás, también acepta a las personas tal y como son y escucha con la intención de descubrir y aprender cosas nuevas, de comprender, de saber realmente quién es la persona que tienes delante.

Para llevar una vida más armoniosa es importante:

personas. Es una gran cualidad que hay que tener.

Ser tolerante tiene muchos beneficios, entre ellos

- Ayuda a las personas a convivir pacíficamente.

- Puede ayudar al desarrollo personal al estar abierto a otras formas de pensar.

- Puede crear un entorno más positivo con una comunicación más abierta.

- Puede conducir a un espíritu más creativo e innovador en la resolución de problemas y la toma de decisiones.

como una experiencia de aprendizaje o una prueba de tu propia inteligencia emocional. Y esto ayudará a que las cosas vayan mejor. En todo lo malo hay algo que tienes que aprender.

Mira siempre el lado bueno de la vida, hay gente que sufre más que tú. Y agradece siempre lo que tienes.

you have to learn. Always look on the bright side of life, there are people who suffer more than you. And always be grateful for what you have.

If life seems to be rotten, there’s something you’ve forgotten. And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing. And when you’re feeling down, always look on the bright side of life

Because life can be quite absurd. And death is the last word. You must always look at the curtain with a bow. Forget your sin, forgive and ask for forgiveness, and learn gratitude. Smile at the public who criticises you. You will see that everything is a show. Be happy while you are alive. And always remember that the last laugh is yours.

My Advice:

Trust that providence will give you what you really need in your daily life. Live without illusions and without the fear of not having enough.

Be grateful for everything, for the big things and the small things.

Avoid baseless criticism of others or slander and defamation. This will keep your mind at peace.

Live in harmony with nature. Give without expecting a thank you.

Be kind and generous to yourself and to others. And always look on the bright side of life.

Empezar por conectar primero con tu interior, conocerte, definirte como persona aprendiendo virtudes como la ética, la moral, la honestidad y la humildad. Después de conectar contigo mismo podrás conectar mejor con: amigos, familia, pareja, vecinos, conocidos, clientes con cualquiera que se cruce en tu camino.

Concentre sus esfuerzos en manejar cualquier desarmonía en sus vidas de forma generosa y compasiva, y en retribuir a las personas de su comunidad.

Asimismo, haga todo lo posible por mantener su propio sentido de la armonía, ya que le ayudará a sentirse en sintonía con los demás.

Ser tolerante es una clave esencial para preservar la armonía, significa tener la mente abierta y aceptar las creencias, opiniones y prácticas de los demás, esto es respetar y valorar las diferencias entre las

La historia ha demostrado que los seres humanos han triunfado en todas las condiciones siempre que han vivido al unísono. En el momento en que se dividieron, se enfrentaron a grandes consecuencias. Por tanto, mantente unido, crece junto a los demás y mantén una relación armoniosa con todos, lo que sin duda te beneficiará a ti y a la sociedad.

La gestión del equilibrio entre trabajo y vida personal se refiere a cómo las personas gestionan el tiempo que dedican al trabajo y el que dedican a otras actividades. La armonía entre el trabajo y la vida personal y social implica incorporar el trabajo al resto de la vida de forma que promueva la felicidad en casa, en la esfera social y en el trabajo.

Llevar una vida armoniosa es absolutamente esencial para la felicidad y la realización. Establecer mejores objetivos, crear mejores relaciones, conectar mejor con nuestro interior.

Algunas cosas o personas en la vida son malas.

Y pueden enfadarte o entristecerte mucho. Otras cosas te hacen insultar y maldecir. Cuando esto ocurra no te quejes, acéptalo

Si la vida parece estar podrida. Hay algo que has olvidado. Y es reír, sonreír, bailar y cantar. Y cuando te sientas mal Mira siempre el lado bueno de la vida Porque la vida puede ser bastante absurda Y la muerte es la última palabra. Debes mirar siempre el telón con una reverencia.

Olvida tu pecado, perdona y pide perdón, aprende gratitud.

Sonríe al público que te critica. Verás que todo es un espectáculo. Sé feliz mientras vivas. Y recuerda siempre que la última risa es la tuya.

Mi Consejo:

Confía en que la providencia te dará lo que realmente necesitas en tu vida diaria. Y vive sin ilusiones y sin miedo de no tener suficiente. Sé agradecido por todo, por las cosas grandes y por las pequeñas. Evita las críticas infundadas a los demás, así como la calumnia y la difamación. Esto mantendrá tu mente en paz. Vive en armonía con la naturaleza. Da las gracias con expectación. Sé amable y generoso contigo mismo y con los demás. Y mira siempre el lado bueno de la vida.

Love, Betina

BOATS, BIKES AND AUTOMOBILES

Aside from the what I’ve always felt is the best time of the year in Mallorca, with warm spring sunshine, cool evenings and every flower in bloom, April for me always means a quick trip back to the chill of the UK for the annual Goodwood Members Meeting - a motor racing festival with an ancient modern twist on the fabled circuit, one of the fastest in the UK and famous for ending Stirling Moss’s competitive career when his Lotus left the track in the 1962 International 100 race for Formula One cars at the circuit’s fastest corner. It was all the more fun this year as my great chum Chris Scholey, the photographer behind many pictures featured in my articles for Celebrity Magazine, was racing

in the Stirling Moss Trophy, driving the family’s exquisite 1954 Jaguar XK120. Pooled with a host of much later and quicker AC Cobras, E-Types, Ferrari 250s et al, he was never going to win, but it added a great deal of flavour to this annual pilgrimage. Ex-Grand Prix drivers are plentiful at this meeting, a highlight being to see the delightful Riccardo Patrese driving one of a pair of Gordon Murray’s F1 championship-winning 1983 Brabham BT52s - one of the prettiest F1 cars ever made, alongside David Brabham in the other. Having worked in Formula One with Benetton in the 1990s, the intimacy of attending a modern Grand Prix has somewhat disappeared up the backside of ‘The Show’ - and I would

by Hamish Goddard

still choose Goodwood any day of the week over a contemporary F1 race meeting. Once back on the island, it was time to take part in the Mallorca 312 - one of the world’s longest and most well-attended cyclosportives, when over 8000 cyclists take on the Tramuntana for a closed road race over a number of different distances - 167, 225 or the full 312kms. Within my ‘Gin Lovers’ WhatsApp group, I chose to do the 167, being the limit of my current fitness level - and with temperatures pushing 30 degrees, it was still one of my hardest days on a bike. We all made it, although I was perhaps one of the few who sat down for lunch with a knife and fork in Lloseta with 50k to go, happily forgoing the chocolate

sandwiches in Bimbo bread (!) on offer at the chaos of the feed stations. All in all a brilliant day, with gratitude to those inconvenienced by the road closures in the Tramuntana, albeit it for one morning of the year.

The 312 took place plum in the middle of the Palma International Boat Show at which we at e3 Systems were amongst the 271 companies exhibiting.

Since the Covid epidemic - at last declared officially over by the WHO - the show seems to have renewed energy - and again in bright spring sunshine (do we still need to mention it?!), it was one of the best shows I can remember, with over 32,000 visitors and over 250 boats on display. So we move into May which for me means the Mallorca installment of the 6Points Challenges - a 3-day fun cycle ride over 430kms of the island, raising much needed money for various local charities. This sixth edition was oversubscribed very early on - cementing the island’s position as one of the best cycling destinations anywhere.

I’m leading a group this year for the first time - and greatly looking forward to the camaraderie that develops over the three days of this wonderful event. Last year’s ride took place in over 30 degrees throughout - and melted the soles off my shoes, literally. Let’s hope it’s a little bit cooler than that..

BARCOS, MOTOS Y COCHES

Aparte de la que siempre me ha parecido la mejor época del año en Mallorca, con un cálido sol primaveral, tardes frescas y todas las flores en flor, abril siempre significa para mí, un rápido viaje de vuelta al frío del Reino Unido para asistir a la reunión anual de miembros de Goodwood, un festival de automovilismo con un antiguo toque moderno en el legendario circuito, uno de los más rápidos del Reino Unido y famoso por poner fin a la carrera competitiva de Stirling Moss cuando su Lotus se salió de la pista en la carrera International 100 de 1962 para coches de Fórmula Uno en la curva más rápida del circuito. Este año fue aún más divertido

porque mi gran amigo Chris Scholey, el fotógrafo de muchas de las fotos que aparecen en mis artículos para Celebrity Magazine, participaba en el Trofeo Stirling Moss, conduciendo el exquisito Jaguar XK120 de 1954 de la familia. Junto con un montón de AC Cobras, E-Types, Ferrari 250 y otros coches mucho más rápidos y tardíos, nunca iba a ganar, pero añadía mucho sabor a esta peregrinación anual.

En esta reunión abundan los expilotos de Grandes Premios, y lo más destacado es ver al encantador Riccardo Patrese conduciendo uno de los dos Brabham BT52 de 1983 con los que Gordon Murray ganó el campeonato de F1, uno de los coches

de F1 más bonitos jamás fabricados, junto con David Brabham en el otro. Después de haber trabajado en la Fórmula Uno con Benetton en la década de 1990, la intimidad de asistir a un Gran Premio moderno ha desaparecido un poco en el trasero de “The Show”, y yo seguiría eligiendo Goodwood cualquier día de la semana antes que una carrera de F1 contemporánea.

Una vez de vuelta en la isla, era hora de participar en el Mallorca 312, una de las ciclodeportivas más largas y concurridas del mundo, en la que más de 8.000 ciclistas recorren la Tramuntana en una carrera de diferentes distancias: 167, 225 o 312 km. Dentro de mi grupo de WhatsApp ‘’Amantes de la Ginebra”, elegí hacer la 167, siendo el límite de mi nivel de forma física actualy con temperaturas rozando los 30 grados, aún así fue uno de mis días más duros sobre la bici. Todos lo conseguimos, aunque quizás fui uno de los pocos que se sentó a comer con cuchillo y tenedor en Lloseta a falta de 50 km, renunciando felizmente a los bocadillos de chocolate con pan Bimbo (!) que se ofrecían en el caos de los avituallamientos. En resumen, un día brillante, con agradecimiento a los que se vieron afectados por los cortes de carreteras en la Tramuntana, aunque sólo fuera una mañana al año. La 312 tuvo

lugar en medio del Salón Náutico Internacional de Palma, en el que e3 Systems se encontraba entre las 271 empresas expositoras.

Desde la epidemia de Covid, por fin declarada oficialmente finalizada por la OMS, el salón parece haber renovado su energía y, de nuevo, bajo un sol radiante de primavera (¿hace falta mencionarlo?), fue uno de los mejores salones que recuerdo, con más de 32.000 visitantes y más de 250 embarcaciones expuestas. Así que nos adentramos en mayo, lo que para mí significa la edición mallorquina del desafio de los 6 puntos , un divertido recorrido en bicicleta de 3 días por 430 km

de la isla, en el que se recauda un dinero muy necesario para varias organizaciones benéficas locales. Esta sexta edición tuvo un exceso de inscripciones desde el principio, lo que consolida la posición de la isla como uno de los mejores destinos para ciclistas.

Este año, por primera vez, encabezaré un grupo y espero con impaciencia la camaradería que se crea durante los tres días que dura este maravilloso acontecimiento. En la edición del año pasado, la temperatura superó los 30 grados y se me derritieron las suelas de los zapatos, literalmente. Esperemos que haga un poco menos de frío...

Property Market Update

The new housing law

by Laura Bonnín Olivares

Although today it is a draft law that has been sent to the Senate for final approval, there is no doubt that this is a mere formality once it has been approved by the Congress of Deputies.

The housing problem in Spain is obvious, as it is obvious that it needs a solution. This law affects the real estate sector and concentrates its efforts on regulating property rental in its entirety, from access to rental housing, price regulation and limiting evictions.

The control of rental housing focuses on the extension of the so-called stressed areas so that the measures envisaged are applied across the board, to the point of foreseeing the possibility of declaring the territory of an autonomous community to be a stressed area.

On the other hand, the concept of large holder is further developed in order to distinguish it from the small owner. Thus, the latter will be those who own less than 5 dwellings, while the former will be considered a large holder if they have the same or more dwellings in stressed areas or if they own up to 10 dwellings in nonstressed areas.

Undoubtedly, the star measure of this Law is related to the limitation of rental prices, to the point of decoupling their annual updates from the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or establishing maximum prices in

new contracts depending on the area and/or the condition of the owner.

With regard to real estate intermediation, the Law will oblige owners to assume the cost of the intervention of professionals in the sector for the formalisation of contracts.

The Housing Act will be born with the status of imperative, in such a way that it will not be possible for the parties to reach agreements contrary to its content or to decide not to apply it. This is a measure that clashes headon with the current Law on Urban Leases and the principle of freedom of agreement between the parties or the autonomy of the will.

Finally, the Law provides for a series of protective measures against evictions, such as the need to establish a specific date and time for their execution, the introduction of new extensions for the eviction of the tenant or the obligation to resort to out-of-court procedures in the case of vulnerable people.

From a fiscal point of view, the regulation envisages granting tax benefits to small landlords with homes in stressed areas so that they make their homes available to tenants. However, if it is decided not to rent the property and to leave it empty or unused, the owners will see a considerable increase in their property tax rate through surcharges.

In view of the above, it is necessary to

analyse whether the measures envisaged will be effective in fulfilling the fundamental right of access to decent housing proclaimed in our Constitution and compatible with the characteristics of the real estate market. That there is an unequivocal will to protect the tenant is not debatable, as most of the measures have been introduced with this clear aim in mind. The problem may come from the lack of legal certainty for landlords, which, in the market of supply and demand, will result in a lack of supply of rental housing, to the detriment of the people it is intended to protect, the tenants.

In conclusion, the new regulation is intended to solve the housing problem, but there are doubts about the effectiveness of its measures in a property market such as the Spanish one, which is markedly private and family-oriented. The limitation to traditional renting may mean, as has been the case until now, that owners will look for alternatives in temporary or holiday rental contracts, especially if their position is not balanced with respect to the tenant, due to a lack of security in terms of non-payment and occupation.

Aun cuando, hoy en día, es un proyecto de Ley que ha sido remitido al Senado para su aprobación definitiva, no cabe duda de que estamos ante un mero trámite una vez aprobado por el Congreso de los Diputados.

El problema de la vivienda en España es evidente, como evidente es que precisa de una solución. Esta Ley afecta de ello al sector inmobiliario y concentra sus esfuerzos en regular el alquiler de inmuebles en toda su extensión, desde el acceso a la vivienda de alquiler, regulación del precio y limitación de los desahucios.

La fiscalización del alquiler de viviendas se centra en la ampliación de las llamadas zonas tensionadas para que las medidas previstas se apliquen de forma generalizada hasta el punto de prever la posibilidad de declarar zona tensionada el territorio de una comunidad autónoma.

Por otra parte, se profundiza en el concepto de gran tenedor para distinguirlo del pequeño propietario. Así, éste será quien tenga en propiedad menos de 5 viviendas, mientras que el primero será considerado como gran tenedor si iguala o supera ese número de viviendas en propiedad en zonas tensionadas o si acapara hasta 10 viviendas en zonas no tensionadas.

Sin duda, la medida estrella de esta Ley está relacionada con la limitación de los precios del alquiler, hasta el punto de desvincular sus actualizaciones anuales del Índice de Precios al Consumo (IPC) o establecer precios máximos en los nuevos contratos en función de la zona y/o la condición del propietario.

Por lo que respecta a la intermediación inmobiliaria, la Ley obligará a los propietarios a asumir el coste de la intervención de profesionales del sector para la formalización de contratos.

La Ley de la vivienda nacerá con la condición de imperativa, de tal forma que no será posible que las partes lleguen a acuerdos contrarios a su contenido o decidan no aplicarla. Se trata de una medida que choca frontalmente con la actual Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos y el principio de libertad de pacto inter partes o de autonomía de la voluntad.

Por último, la Ley prevé una serie de medidas de protección frente a los desahucios, tales como la necesidad de establecer una concreta fecha y hora para su ejecución, la introducción de nuevas prórrogas para el lanzamiento del arrendatario o la obligatoriedad de acudir a procedimientos extrajudiciales en caso de personas vulnerables.

Desde el punto de vista fiscal, la norma prevé otorgar beneficios fiscales a los pequeños propietarios con viviendas en zonas tensionadas para que pongan sus viviendas a disposición de los arrendatarios. Ahora bien, si se decide no arrendar la vivienda y dejarla vacía o sin uso, los propietarios verán incrementado la tasa del Impuesto

sobre Bienes Inmuebles de forma considerable, por vía de recargos. Expuesto lo anterior, es necesario analizar si las medidas previstas serán eficaces para cumplir con el derecho fundamental al acceso a una vivienda digna que proclama nuestra Constitución y compatibles con las características del mercado inmobiliario. Que existe una voluntad inequívoca de proteger al inquilino no es discutible, pues la mayoría de las medidas se han introducido con ese claro fin. El problema puede venir de la mano de la falta de seguridad jurídica para los propietarios, lo que, en el mercado de la oferta y la demanda, tendrá como consecuencia la falta de oferta de viviendas en alquiler, en detrimento de las personas a las que se pretende proteger, lo inquilinos. A modo de conclusión, la nueva norma nace con la intención de resolver el problema de la vivienda, pero existen dudas acerca de la efectividad de sus medidas en un mercado inmobiliario como el español, de marcado carácter privado y familiar. La limitación al alquiler tradicional puede suponer, como ha venido ocurriendo hasta ahora, que los propietarios busquen alternativas en contratos de alquiler temporal o vacacional, máxime si su posición no está equilibrada respecto del arrendatario, por falta de seguridad en lo que respecta a impagos y ocupaciones.

Why Banks Should Just Be For Banking

Why take out your insurance policies with an insurance agent or broker instead of taking them from the bank? Darryl Lopez of DYLSI Agency talks us through everything we need to know about the insurance policies that banks provide and why they are not the best options.

By Ben Mulvey

Using a private insurance broker agent agent offers numerous advantages over relying on a bank for insurance. A private insurance broker agent agent serves as an intermediary between clients and the insurance company, providing personalised and comprehensive coverage options tailored to individual needs and also taking care of the things that they care about. Here are several reasons why using a private insurance broker agent or agent is preferable to utilizing a bank for insurance:

First and foremost, private insurance agents or brokers specialise in insurance services. They possess in-depth knowledge and expertise in the insurance industry that they

have studied, enabling them to navigate the complex landscape and identify the most suitable coverage options for their clients. Unlike banks, which primarily focus on financial services and whose staff are often incentivised to sell insurance policies with insufficient knowledge, insurance broker agents or agents have a deeper understanding of the terms and conditions and the applicable laws. More importantly, brokers or agents can help find the best way to process a claim to make sure that you are kept up-to-date and helps them through each step. Furthermore, they take the time to understand your unique circumstances, assess your needs, and recommend

appropriate coverage. Brokers handle policy renewals, claims processing, updating policies when you experience changes in their lives, and any other insurance-related issues, relieving you of administrative burdens. In contrast, banks often lack the personalised touch and comprehensive support that brokers offer, as their main focus is on financial transactions rather than insurance expertise. Another major reason that private insurance policies are normally significantly more expensive through the banks. A recent article estimated that banks sell life insurance policies that are 86% more expensive than through the insurers for exactly the same coverage. These banks

justify these charges by offering reductions in the mortgage rates or amounts but, with just some simple arithmetic, it is pretty easy to work out that even with these “savings”, an 86% increase in insurance premiums still means that the client will ultimately be paying more.

they are ‘linked’ or else they will increase the cost of the mortgage instalment. In these cases, it is advisable that you, first of all, review the mortgage contract, as this will establish the conditions of your mortgage and how complementary services such as insurance affect the interest rate.

It is possible that you already have or will soon have a relationship with the bank when buying a home and applying for a mortgage. Here are two situations that clients often find themselves in, and on many occasions, because they are unaware of their options and rights, they have to bear high costs as well as abusive/illegal practices on the part of the banks:

1) I need to obtain a mortgage for a home or premises, and the bank forces me to take out property insurance and life insurance with them, without giving me options. In this scenario, you should know that there are at least three laws in Spain that defend your interests against these practices: the bank cannot force you to take out an insurance contract, nor can it force you to take it out with the bank, it has to accept other alternative options as long as they have similar characteristics to the ones it has initially offered you. In this link, you can find more details of these three laws. At DYLSI Agency, we help you to negotiate with the bank and avoid falling into illegal practices, as well as paying high costs for insurance products, at no additional cost to our services.

2) I already have a mortgage and home and life insurance with the bank, but I can’t cancel them because I have been told that

In many cases, the cost of insurance with the bank is so high, that by doing some calculations, you realise that even changing the insurance to another entity, the reduction of costs, and the improvement in the coverage, totally compensate for the increase of the mortgage instalment. In other cases, there is not even an increase in the mortgage payment.

At DYLSI Agency, we help clients to review

their mortgage contracts, simulate costs and look for the best alternative, in addition, we guide them in communicating with the bank. It is really important that we all understand that banks are there for our banking needs and that when it comes to insurance, contact someone who really knows the best options available to you.

Darryl Lopez and his team at DYLSI are available to lead you through all of the insurance policies you need for a life in Spain from health insurance to car insurance, life insurance to contents insurance as well as business insurance solutions.

A new idea and a new way of seeing how we work in Clinica Veterinaria Bendinat

The idea: show, explain and follow interesting cases over time. How we work: Cristina, Antonio and I will present these cases. I’m starting off with a common orthopaedic condition. A common footballer’s injury, not that many of our dogs (and less frequently cats) play football. But any nasty, excessive twisting movement or even a fall can provoke this injury: a “ruptured cranial cruciate ligament”.

another interesting case. Til next month, keep fit, and be happy. Clinica Veterinaria Bendinat Team.

Artículo de Celebridad 1- La perra Rosie . Una nueva idea y una nueva forma de ver cómo trabajamos en la Clínica Veterinaria Bendinat...

La idea: mostrar, explicar y seguir casos interesantes a lo largo del tiempo. Cómo trabajamos: Cristina, Antonio y yo presentaremos estos casos. Empezaré con una patología ortopédica común. Una lesión común de futbolista, no es que muchos de nuestros perros (y menos frecuentemente gatos) jueguen al fútbol. Pero cualquier movimiento desagradable, de torsión excesiva o incluso una caída puede provocar esta lesión: una “rotura del ligamento cruzado craneal”.

La perra Rosie es una Dobermann joven y despreocupada a la que le encanta correr todo el día por el parque con sus dueños. Sin embargo, un día los dueños de Rosie se dieron cuenta de que cojeaba y no podía andar bien. La llevaron inmediatamente a la clínica y le examinamos la pata a fondo. Al examinarla, descubrí que Rosie se

había roto los ligamentos de la pata (véase el diagrama 1), lo que le causaba dolor e incomodidad al caminar. Sabía que se trataba de un problema grave y que había que solucionarlo de inmediato. En las razas pequeñas, podemos tratarlas con reposo y analgésicos, pero en los perros grandes como Rosie, hay mucho dolor e inestabilidad en la articulación de la rodilla. Esto puede provocar una artritis muy debilitante cuando sean mayores. Así que discutimos las opciones de tratamiento disponibles con los propietarios de Rosie y les sugerimos que optaran por la cirugía. Hay varias opciones quirúrgicas para esta lesión, y todas tienen muy buenos resultados, pero como Rosie es un perro de raza grande decidimos llamar a Ricardo, un cirujano ortopédico especializado.

Tras el consentimiento de los propietarios, programamos la operación con el equipo de Ricardo. Vinieron a operar a nuestro quirófano con un especialista en anestesia, un equipo de dos enfermeras adicionales y Ricardo. Realizó una “fijación más fuerte” con una placa de titanio y tornillos. La operación salió bien (ver la radiografía), y Rosie se recuperó enseguida (ver el vídeo de

unos días después en su revisión). Cristina, Antonio y yo cuidamos especialmente de Rosie después de la operación, controlamos su evolución a diario y le recetamos medicación y un programa de rehabilitación para ayudar a fortalecer sus músculos y evitar nuevas lesiones.

Nuestro objetivo es garantizar que todas las mascotas reciban los mejores cuidados y tratamientos posibles. Entendemos que cada mascota tiene necesidades y rasgos de personalidad únicos que requieren una atención individualizada. Por eso colaboramos estrechamente con nuestros clientes para garantizar que cada mascota reciba los mejores cuidados. La próxima vez os pondremos al día sobre Rosie y otro caso interesante. Hasta el mes que viene, mantente en forma y sé feliz.

Zeus- torsion and post-op complications!! Tevi / Trevi cat

Rosie the dog is a young, happy-go-lucky Dobermann who loves running around the park with her owners all day. However, one day Rosie’s owners noticed that she was limping and couldn’t walk properly. They immediately took her to the clinic, and we examined her leg thoroughly. Upon examination, I found that Rosie had torn the ligaments in her leg (see diagram 1), which caused her pain and discomfort

while walking. I knew that this was a serious issue and needed to be fixed immediately. In small breeds, we can treat them with rest and painkillers but in large dogs like Rosie, there is a lot of pain and instability in the knee joint. This can lead to very debilitating arthritis when they are older. So we discussed the available treatment options with Rosie’s owners and suggested that they go for surgery.

There are several surgical options for this injury, and they all have very good results but because Rosie is a large breed of dog we decided to call in Ricardo, a specialist orthopaedic surgeon.

After consent from the owners, we scheduled the surgery with Ricardo’s team. They come and operate in our operating theatre with an anaesthetic specialist, a team of two extra nurses and Ricardo. He performed a “stronger fix” with a titanium plate and screws. The surgery went well (see the x-ray), and Rosie was up and running in no time (see the video of a few days later at her check-up). Cristina, Antonio and I took special care of Rosie post-surgery, monitored her progress daily, and prescribed medication and a rehabilitation program to help strengthen her muscles and prevent further injury.

Our goal is to ensure that all pets receive the best possible care and treatment. We understand that each pet has unique needs and personality traits that require individualised attention. This is why we work closely with our clients to ensure that every pet receives the best care. Next time we’ll update you on Rosie and
