SEPTEMBER 2010
Welcome to Transform another special publication created by your friendly Champion Newspaper team.
We hope you’ll enjoy reading it and find it a useful and practical guide to the many ways and opportunities you have to Transform your lives and homes. The principle behind Transform is to showcase how you can make huge differences to your lifestyle without having to spend vast fortunes. Within these pages we bring you interesting news and information on local businesses offering services and goods to help Tranform your lives in a colourful supplement delivered free. The advertisers you see in this supplement are well known to us. They are reliable and trustworthy and the owners and managers not only earn their living from within this community but are often actively involved within it too.
We all know that a little treat now and again never did anybody any harm but when it comes to time for spending on the big ticket items, making the right choice is vital - even more so in today’s climate - and this is exactly how Transform can be of help. Keep this publication for future reference and as a source of good information. When you are ready for a Transformation let our advertisers know that you saw their advertisement in this publication. Happy Transformations to you all. Advertising Group Editor Editorial Team

Taking steps to Transform your health, your home and your life does not have to cost the earth. Sometimes it’s the simple things like a new hairstyle or buying an everyday household item that gives the greatest pleasure of all.

And that can mean we have the added reassurance that using a local business brings. Local often equals a faster, more reliable service with greater peace of mind. It also helps keep the wheels of the local business community turning too and that has got to be a good thing.

your Home The kitchen is one of the most used rooms in the home and can be revamped by making changes big or small. Just a few key adjustments can have a dramatic effect on the look of the room, such as replacing worktops and tiles, updating appliances, repapering walls or painting cupboard doors. Or why not introduce new elements to your kitchen such as a cooker hood or a butchers block. Alternatively, splashing out on a whole new set of fixtures and fittings can create a luxurious environment to cook in, whilst breathing new life into your home and increasing the value of the property. Make sure you are happy with the positioning of all the necessary storage areas and appliances, and make the most of the space you have. In kitchens with too much space, unnecessary and unattractive banks of cupboards could be replaced with another appliance or a breakfast bar, and items such as suspended pot racks and the tops of eye-level kitchen units could provide extra storage in rooms with very little space.

your Home Flooring can bring colour, texture and warmth to a room. Whilst you want every space in your home to look stylish, it is important to think about how a room is used, who uses it and what furniture will be placed there when picking floor materials. Carpets can provide a safer, gentler surface thatís ideal for when babies and toddlers are around, as well as bringing added benefits like an extra layer of insulation that could lower winter fuel bills and a quieter atmosphere thanks to their sound insulation effects. On the other hand, flooring materials like lino and vinyl are durable and easy to clean and maintain. If youíre looking at the various flooring options for your home, there are plenty of specialists across Sefton that can help you buy and fit the right carpet or flooring to match your interior and your budget. From tiles and laminate flooring through to wood, carpets and lino, itís easy to find something that looks great but also serves a purpose. Alternatively, adding a rug can be a simple and cost effective way to spruce up an existing floor rather than replacing it entirely.

This season why not transform your look with a new wardrobe. Throw out those fashion faux pas and re vamp your wardrobe with all this seasons must haves.
Crosby Carpet Centre
High street stores are packed full of the latest trends and designer shops are calling out for you to go in and splurge. Many stores now offer a personal shopper service. The personal shopper will discuss your style with you and show you what shapes suit your body and may even introduce you to new styles you wouldn’t normally go for.

your Hair & Image Don’t rely on New Years resolutions to encourage you to change your look (we all know we never keep to them and joining a gym January 1 is asking for trouble). Take advantage of the deals and services to make the most of yourself now. Transforming your look doesn’t just involve sprucing up your wardrobe. It is about taking control from head to toe. Just getting a facial once a month can change how you feel outside and in, and with more and more beauty and dental consultants offering nonsurgical procedures there is every opportunity to improve on anything you don’t like without doing anything too invasive. A great start for any new look is a new haircut. Why not go for the chop and go for an ubertrendy pixie crop. Or if you have always envied friends with long hair, hairdressers why not try some extensions. Hairdressers can match your colour and cut them for a natural finish.
Don’t miss out … promoting your business to our huge audience is easy and cost-effective. Choose the Champion for all your local advertising. Call 01704 392392 today.
