Note from our

Editor

Change. Good or bad, one constant in life is that change always happens.

Like the seasons, change can be predictable but like Saskatchewan weather, it can also be random.

One thing for sure is, it’s coming - winter that is, which also happens to be a change of season.

Photo by Kiriako Iatridis

It’s how you deal with change that matters.

Most often I view change as an opportunity. Hey, I like snowshoes.

And I always enjoy my children’s reaction to the snow.

But sometimes it’s hard. (And cold.) Especially major change(s). You know the type – the change you don’t see coming. Or the one you have seen coming for such a long time but have dreaded?

You may have experienced those types of changes - the scary ones.

The ones that force you to face them head on – reluctant or not.

How did you get through? Did you embrace them or fear them? Or simply ride them out?

I depend on a strong circle of women in my life; to listen, console, advise and cheer me on when I most need it.

I am grateful for amazing girlfriends, my dear mother and sisters, and my co-workers. I am also indebted to this magazine. It is here I get to read and edit stories of uphill battles overcome, goals reached and new ideas which inspire. I want to personally thank those who provide stories for Pink magazine for their amazing contributions.

One change I am especially looking forward to is the upcoming New Year. How about you?

Amber Cameron A business warrior

8 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014

There are many business warriors walking among us at any given time, and silent battles being fought and won we will never hear about. Amber Cameron of Radiant Skin Clinic is just one of many out there digging in the trenches of the free enterprise system.

But her life learning adventure didn’t end there. After studying at the University of Saskatchewan, she headed west. The mountains were calling her and she wanted to see what she could make of herself in the world. Without fear or a plan, she landed in Canmore, Alberta, where she ended up working for one of the biggest real estate developers in the Calgary - Canmore area.

As she approaches her five-year anniversary, Cameron emphasizes the importance of always reflecting on where you started.

“I can remember the first time the phone rang and someone wanted to book an appointment and how exciting that was, and my girlfriend and I assembling furniture only to realize we had the chair seats on backwards! It’s those moments that make this business journey so very special and rewarding.“

“Don’t get me wrong, I believe in studying business in college, but I must admit, I learned so much more during my time in real estate management and development. Calgary and Canmore were hopping during those years and it was aggressive! I was up against people and companies with much more experience in the business world than I had but I wasn’t willing to lose.”

Cameron, who was raised on a grain farm in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, learned the value of hard work and never giving up.

Competitive to the core, she continued on with a grin and twinkle in her eye, “I was given the job to fill any and all tenant vacan-

It still feels surreal that I will be attending a gala event in Toronto. I will be surrounded by amazing business women from across Canada.

“I can remember my dad being gone before my brother and I were up in the morning and coming home when we were in our pajamas and ready for bed. And mom was always busy working in the garden so we would have vegetables for the winter.

That example of working when there’s work to be done was all we knew. Children learn what they live and those early lessons were priceless.”

cies and I did just that! I think I even rented out the odd parking space just to get my occupancy rates to report as over 100%.”

The desire to challenge herself began to brew yet again as the economy shifted, and she reached her personal real estate goals. She returned home and began analyzing the market with a dream of owning and operating a medical esthetics business.

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014 | 9

“The draw for me was the work-life balance I could achieve through this line of work.”

She admitted her interest had been perked toward this industry back in Alberta, when she had been asked to consult on the cash flow of a business of this nature. She ended up settling on Moose Jaw in 2009.

“The hours of operation were much more appealing than the demands of real estate management, and the ability to work smart and not hard was also available if I planned it accordingly.”

Canada and am going into this knowing I’m a pretty small deal compared to that crowd. It should be an experience to remember and I’m sure it will ignite a bigger passion to go even further with my business plan.”

But the ball of fire doesn’t stop growing there. Cameron has been integral in the formation and operation of The Canadian Laser Institute.

She believes whole-heartedly in training and developing women so they can enter into this type of business with the skills and resources they need to bring in a more than decent wage and

I have never in my wildest dreams imagined being approached by a franchising group to discuss the possibility of duplicating my business model.

Cameron can hardly have a conversation without getting excited about some aspect of business. The RBC recently nominated her for the Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards being held in Toronto in November.

“It still feels surreal that I will be attending a gala event in Toronto.

operate safely.

But what came next was an even bigger shock to Cameron.

“I have never in my wildest dreams imagined being approached by a franchising group to discuss the possibility of duplicating my business model. Radiant Skin Clinic combined with the Canadian Laser Institute has all the elements of a franchising

system already in place: training, systems, support, suppliers, administration, web support, and a proven track record. It just hadn’t ever crossed my mind! I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that!” she said with a laugh.

“The idea of seeing Radiant Skin Clinic’s across Canada would be amazing. I’m excited to see where this partnership could take my business model!”

Cameron’s love of people tied with business and goal setting is 12 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014

contagious! It’s hard to be around her without feeling excited.

Congratulations to Cameron on her national award nomination and her franchising opportunity on the horizon. I am certain this isn’t the last award she will be competing for, as her last and final business goal is far from small, “I know how many people talk about their business ideas and dreams and pitching it on shows like the Dragon’s Den … but I think I want to sit in a Dragon’s chair some day instead!”

Living Your Healthiest Lifestyle with Holly Barker

Success: No If ’s, And’s or But’s: Continued I hope that last month you were able to make your lifestyle a priority and were able to squash the “lack of time” misconception and start implementing healthy tips into your every day.

This month I want to draw attention to the busy-ness of the social season we are about to endure and address the misconception that a healthy lifestyle cannot be started or maintained during the holidays. Together we will be healthy and happy, and belles of the ball when we follow a few tips for success during the parties, celebrations and brunches to come.

Let’s start with fall treats and Thanksgiving, followed by Halloween and office parties, nights out with friends, rolling into Christmas dinners, left overs for brunch, Christmas morning breakfast, New Years Eve … and the list continues. In the next few months, there will be ample opportunities to say, “I’ll start fresh in the new year.”

Our waistlines take a hit as much as our wallets, and any work we have done in the months leading up to these celebrations are quick to be past achievements that we will start anew in the next year, and the cycle continues.

I want you to beat the rush of ambition come New Years Day. Why not stay consistent and healthy throughout the holidays and rock that sexy outfit to ring in the New Year? It’s not as easy as saying me telling you to eat healthy and stay active. There are a few key points that can help you succeed and come out on the other end healthier and happier than before.

Here are a few key tips to help navigate your way through a healthy fall, festive season and get a head start on a new year filled with happiness and success. **Never attend events empty handed: Following a plan can mean eating a variety of good for you foods, but a lot of the time, when entertaining, we often forget that less can be more and are more than happy to bring out the full fat whip, the extra stick of butter and the ‘full flavour’ dressings.

Have we forgotten food actually tastes great when we can taste the food?

Bring a new recipe, enjoy a healthy favorite and introduce the idea that healthy can taste good to all your friends and family! This way you can nibble guilt free and can share your recipe as a topic of conversation.

RECIPE Here is a quick recipe to try out that will be a favorite for everyone. It’s quick to prepare and looks delish!

- Butter lettuce leaves dis-assembled from bunch and placed on fancy plate 16 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014

- Cleaned and De-shelled cooked shrimp placed in each leave - Sliced avocado placed in each leave - Fresh herbs and lemon or lime wedge beside each leave to sprinkle and dress - Dip – Greek yogurt with fresh dill and lemon wedge for spooning in the lettuce wrap. **Avoid the office treats: Post Halloween and pre-festive season, everyone at the office finds it convenient to bring left over Halloween candy, nut trays or chocolate varieties to the office to leave on display and test your will power. Do not start! It is cut and dry. Do not walk past the area or allow yourself a ‘just a little bit’ - simply make it a non-option. If you are hungry, eat your lunch at 10 a.m. and then eat another healthy lunch at lunch. You will be much further ahead and will consume fewer calories than are in a couple of stops at the treat station. **Avoid the snack table/hor d’ouevres: This goes along with the office treats.

Are you familiar with those people who enter a party and make a spot at the snack table, then not leave that spot? Are you one of those people? Mindless consumption will never leave you feeling good, and is not worth it. You probably don’t even realize how many times you reach into the bowl of goodies.

And, if you were to track the mindless nibbling, you would be surprised at how quickly little snack foods add up to a days worth of calories.

Think of it like this: Do we really need to eat before eating? Do we really need to amuse our mouths? Instead of focusing on snacking to avoid or encourage conversation, let’s spend time with people we actually care to talk to and find interesting?

Do you know what your Uncle Joe does for fun? What about the great trip your Aunt Sally just went on with your cousins?

I know you cannot choose your family, but if you knew a bit more about them other than what kind of drink they like, you could actually stumble upon something interesting or that you share in common. You might even have a ‘real’ conversation beyond the things they dislike about their job, or the fact that the weather has been so crummy.

Why not take this time to enjoy the company you choose to spend your time with?

when it comes to the time you spend trying to feel good. An awesome quote recently posted at our local Anytime Fitness is, “You cannot out train a bad diet.” This is true. Always be sure to drink water, stay hydrated and enjoy yourself consciously and responsibly. **Track your calories and allow for treats: It’s important to know how many calories are in the snacks and foods we choose to eat and the drinks we consume. It’s ok to enjoy a day off, but consecutive days of over consumption will lead to weight gain.

No one is perfect and sometimes we eat or drink more than we should. But, consistency wins and likely, if we consistently live healthy and over indulge only occasionally, our bodies could be telling us we were hungry and our metabolism can use the extra calories. This may be a sign to eat more on a daily basis and perhaps; cravings will go away and over indulging will be less and less. If you know you will be having a family supper, allocate your calories to allow the meal to make up your majority for that day. But, DO NOT show up hungry. Eat as you would throughout the day and enjoy an off-plan meal with your family. When we know better, we do better. **Always stick with your daily plan and schedule workouts regardless of your busy schedule: Just because we have a week of events does not mean we can skip out on daily activities.

We need the release of activity and the de-stressor of living healthy to help us achieve more and bring our best to any party or celebration. If you know you are going out on Friday and will miss Saturday’s training, get back to it Sunday or Monday. One day off or a bad weekend, does not give you the go ahead to skip out on a week or longer from your lifestyle.

Sometimes it’s easy to get lazy and really hard to encourage yourself to get back to busting butt. Consistency is the key that will make you want to get back into activity and can stop the all or nothing behavior.

**Always drink water: It’s ok to enjoy a beverage. Celebrate with a glass of whatever you like. Everything in moderation is ok, as long as you are aware of the opportunity costs those drinks hold, FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014 | 17

**Reward yourself for staying true to your lifestyle: Always reward yourself for doing things that make you the best you can be. Recognize this is a choice you have made and that you are doing a great job. Little temptations and excuses will always be there, but your commitment will make these seem less and less like temptations and more and more like sacrifices not worth taking. **Enjoy yourself: No matter the situation, you should enjoy yourself.

Spend time enjoying visiting those who matter to you, new experiences and celebrations. Instead of justifying your choices, educate others on your goals and actions you are taking. Speculation is formed from ignorance, so letting others in on your new and exciting lifestyle will allow them to ask questions and express interest. **You are not alone: Living your healthiest lifestyle is not something you have to do by yourself. There are so many others who have the same questions, desires, ambitions and goals. Finding a friend to share in these new experiences, or a coach to help keep you accountable to your goals, is life changing. Surround yourself with those who want the best for you, and who are happy for your happiness. That way, this journey will be easy and enjoyable with every single step.

You rock! <3 Next up â&#x20AC;Ś implementing training into your routine and busy schedule, and starting the New Year with a new you!

Shades of Health

By Colten Primeau from Visions Salon and Spa, Saskatoon

Hair is a fickle mistress; she can be kind and cooperative or she can turn on you with the slightest of provocation.

research and be mindful of your budget and whether or not it really will help your hair.

When making any plans for your hair it is paramount to keep its integrity in mind and plan accordingly.

Avoid liquefied plastics, silicone and paraffin wax; though they make your hair look better, they only mask the problem. I also highly recommend every second colour service be booked with a deep conditioning/reparative service.

As hair stylists we watch for two things to determine the overall health of your hair: porosity - which dictates how much water your hair can absorb and how quickly it evaporates, and secondly, elasticity - how much your hair can stretch before it breaks.

With all that in mind, have fun and love your hair for what it is and what it can be, because like all other things in your life it can always improve.

Both factors are huge in deciding what to do with your hair and then how to achieve it.

The problem though is there are a lot of things which can cause compounded damage such as UVA and UVB, free radicals, heat, wind, minerals, chemicals, and alas diet and stress. All of which make life, and hair decisions, tricky.

I for one am a touch bit too attached to heat and chemicals, and you can’t avoid all of the hair stressors without living in a bubble. This is why its critical you discuss and make plans with your hairstylist. Don’t give up your signature shade or run away horror movie style from you blow dryer. Instead, make conscious decisions on what you’re doing to, and using in your hair - with products especially, its vital and natural is always better.

When it comes to products, you get what you pay for. Not that the highest price tag is the best there is though. Do your

LASH out

By Sara Lindsay

It seems achieving long, lush lashes are a never-ending pursuit for a lot of women. Over the years, the beauty industry has responded with some excellent options. There is everything from full mascara formulas with every kind of applicator wand imaginable to lash growth serums, temporary mink false lashes, and of course the latest craze of semi-permanent lash extensions.

Each of these beauty solutions comes with a varying degree of cost, commitment and maintenance, which suit different lifestyles.

MASCARA There is an unimaginable number of mascaras on the market, all promising the best results. Unfortunately it comes down to trying different options until you find one that works for you.

First consider what you are hoping to accomplish with your mascara. Do you want to achieve a natural looking lash? Or are you concerned with length or volume? Maybe you have a difficult time finding mascara that doesn’t transfer? I can recommend a few of my favourites.

Kjaer Weis is an organic, refillable mascara that offers a light natural look and does not transfer whatsoever.

Kevyn Aucoin Volume Mascara comes in a shiny, deep black formula, and has a very unique, thin applicator wand that allows you to build your lashes very full by being able to get in to every tiny little lash, providing maximum coverage.

Ellis Faas offers a sleek, long wand with medium sized tapered applicator formula for very full lashes.

TEMPORARY MINK LASH STRIPS Mink Lashes are similar to traditional artificial lash strips. However, they are made from crueltyfree mink hair, which gives a much more natural and believable effect. They are reusable up to 25 times and are very light weight and comfortable. Velour Lashes are my brand of choice.

LASH GROWTH SERUMS Lash growth serums have become very popular and really do work unbelievably well, actually encouraging eyebrow growth. There are many serums on the market with varying ingredients; some ingredients, which have had some controversy with reported side effects. However, several have been reported as safe as well as effective. I recommend Eye Envy.

SEMI-PERMANENT LASH EXTENSIONS Lash extensions have become one of the most popular ways to enhance eyelashes in today’s beauty industry. They require regular maintenance “fills” every two to four weeks depending on proper after care, and are customizable for length and shape.

Each extension is applied to every individual natural lash.

Extensions then fall out with natural lash shedding cycles and do not cause natural lashes to fall out pre-maturely or damage the lashes. However, a certified lash technician who understands the importance of this to ensure a safe and long lasting result must apply the extensions properly.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Lyndsay McKillican as Studio Manager, makeup artist, esthetician and lash technician to our team. I’d also like to welcome makeup artist, Charity Landgraf! We now offer lash extensions in studio with Lyndsay and she is looking forward to welcoming you as our guest. Melissa and Leah offer full Aveda hair services in studio to complement all makeup services.

For more in depth information, I offer private makeup lessons at my studio.

#StyleliveSHere

By Michelle Strawford

for the love of boots

I’ve always loved the changing of seasons. With the cooler temperatures I welcome the addition of scarves, sweaters and coats to my wardrobe, but most of all… boots. I LOVE boots!

There may be no easier way to update your look than with some fierce fashion for your feet. From open-toed booties with a stacked heel to the classic riding boot, this season’s shoe trends are more versatile than ever before, with one of the biggest trends being the ankle boot.

Fashion bloggers say ankle boots in the fall are like sandals in the summer; you can’t have one without the other! Booties, as some call them, are extremely versatile. They look amazing with jeans; can be styled with a dress, skirt or even shorts with tights. Introducing open-toed booties or a stacked heel will take your style to the next level. Ankle boots also provide the ability to bridge your favorite summer outfit well into the fall months.

Back again this season is the ever-classic riding boot. Beyond comfortable for being on your feet all day at work, or going out for the evening, these boots bring great style to most any outfit. Pair them with your favorite wardrobe pieces to instantly transform your look!

One of my favorites this season is the combat boot and I am thrilled to see its return! I own three pairs and would have more if I could get away with it. Combat boots add a little edge to your style. I suggest pairing them with your favorite leggings or skinny jeans.

Love the boho chic style? I sure do. You might not be attending any festivals over the fall but you can still look the part by adding fringe boots to your closet. Pair these boots with a crocheted long vest and leggings.

You do not have to look far to shop all these trends. Find the boots pictured above at www.bellachic.ca. Share your fall favorites on our Instagram feed @StyleLivesHere.

Safe at work: Safety SuperStarS

By Dakota Barber

“It was hard to pare it down to be quite honest with you,” says Sandra Cripps, CEO of the Saskatchewan Association for Safe Workplaces in Health (SASWH). “There is a provincial awareness for safety we’ve never seen before.”

She’s referring to choosing just two women who “take the cake” when it comes to safety in health care, and feeling proud of the long list of candidates she had to select from.

Sandra was looking to pin down two women who go above and beyond, stay consistent and make safety a top priority in their workplaces. While workplace safety for health care workers might seem a little beyond a civilian’s concern, a trip to the hospital might serve as a friendly reminder.

Hospitals, nursing homes and long term care facilities need ready and able bodies on the floor at all times, but if those numbers fall short due to staff injury, everyone suffers.

From 2008-2012, injuries in the workplace resulted in approximately 400,000 days of lost work, which is the equivalent of 323 full time employees. Health care workers suffer more injuries than any other field, which is exactly why SASWH was born. SASWH serves as a safety association for all health care in the province of Saskatchewan, providing safety, education and awareness training.

Within the 477 firms they provide service to, two women stand out as “Safety Superstars”; Dona Braun, the Director of Patient Safety for the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region and

Sherrie Glister, Workplace Health and Safety Coordinator for the Kelsey Trail Health Region.

For Dona Braun, a lifelong resident of Saskatchewan, her passion for safety comes from the people. “When you see on a daily basis the impact of adverse events on the lives of people, it’s almost impossible to walk away untouched by it,” explains Dona. “When you see approximately 9,000 incident reports a year coming through your department and you realize that every one of them represents someone’s life being impacted - it is truly staggering.”

Dona’s career path has taken some turns but has always resided in the health care industry. For nine years she worked as a Patient Safety Specialist in the Regina Qu’Appelle Health region, where her role was to examine incident reports, determine factors that contributed to the incident, and identify what can be done to prevent similar incidents in the future.

As of January, she now oversees these operations as the Director of Patient Safety. Prior to her work with the Regina Qu’Appelle Health region, Dona put her masters degree to good use and worked as a counsellor in a community based agency. She sets an incredible example for her husband of 30 years and her three children of what can be achieved when you stay consistent and confident with your message.

“At the point when an unsafe situation is identified, we must have the courage to speak up,” says Dona.

The idea is to create sustainability and lasting improvements, rather than a one time ‘band aid’ over an issue. While the goal of zero injuries remains intact, Dona celebrates forward movements the industry has taken to make safety a priority for all.

“I am proud to work for an organization that has the moral courage to move towards improved safety for both patients and staff,”she says. “Witnessing this evolution over the past ten years gives hope that we will be able to create a safer system for all who enter our doors.”

Dona 24 |

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014

Empathy, an open mind and persistence to stand up for what she believes in have helped Dona become who she is today, an inspiring leader.

Sherrie Glister has lived and worked in the Melfort area her entire adult life.

The wife and mother of two began her career in the health region right out of high school, working everywhere from the food and nutrition department to the environmental services department. In 2005, Sherrie accepted the position for the Workplace Health and Safety Coordinator and soon realized how perfectly suited for the position she was.

Sherrie

“I’ve always been an ‘err on the side of caution’ kind of girl,” explains Sherrie.

Much of her time is spent training staff at the monthlyregional orientation, where two main safety related programs are provided. Alongside these monthly training sessions, Sherrie has helped develop a regional Safety for Supervisors course, and even went on to create a workbook and guide to complement the training.

Also in the roster of daily activities is revising policies, conducting incident investigations and ensuring safe returns to

work following an injury.

“There is no typical day, which is what I really appreciate about my job,” says Sherrie. “Safety feeds the part of me that cares about people and wants to make a difference.”

Sherrie feels through the work she does, she can help improve the emotional and physical health of a worker, which has an indirect impact on patient care and safety. “The psychology of safety holds particular interest for me.”

While the fact that these jobs exist make it apparent that there is a need for continued safety education and implementation, Sherrie acknowledges the emphasis on safety in her field has evolved exponentially.

“The involvement of our provincial governments in making safety a priority has forced health regions to make worker safety a priority.” Sherrie’s hands on experience in many areas of health care gives her the ability to be lenient when appropriate and stand firm when necessary, which has no doubt helped her become the highly respected safety leader she is today.

While we often assume we are in good hands when we check in to a medical clinic, hospital, nursing home or otherwise, it’s comforting to know there are women like Dona and Sherrie working tirelessly to ensure our safety as well as the safety of those who take care of us.

DESIGNMATTERS DETAILSMATTER PICK & CHOOSE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL OPTIONS How to Design Your Kitchen Island Size, seating height, all those appliance and storage options ... here’s how to clear up the kitchen island confusion.

The kitchen is one of the most complicated spaces to design in a house — and figuring out how to design an island can be confusing for homeowners. Internet discussion boards are full of users asking for help deciding on a kitchen island size.

While there’s no set formula for figuring out how to size an island, some measurement guidelines can help. Kitchen designers offer good advice for planning your kitchen island, starting by asking yourself six basic questions:

1. What is the island’s function?

FOR SASKATCHEWAN WOMEN | VOL. 3 ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 2014

Before you start thinking about smart storage solutions and what range you want, decide what your island’s main function is going to be. Most islands have a side devoted to cooking and a side devoted to eating. What will your emphasis be? Prep work, cooking, cleaning, eating or entertaining? Or will you use it for everything, including homework and house projects?

If you want appliances and sinks in your island, you’ll need more space. If it will be used just for casual meals, seating should be your priority.

The discussion regarding a kitchen island is really just a small subset of issues, which the overall kitchen design and surrounding space must resolve. In the overall scheme, what gets delegated to the island is part of the whole flow of working and living patterns.

The island is part of a solution, and this is where most of the discus-

Rather than reproducing traditional homes, gjConstructs refigures the design to include modern amenities to address your demands for increased privacy and up to date technology.

Simplicity, functionality and livability remain prevalent features of Gary’s updated designs.

sion should focus. Then the details will fall into place.

2. What appliances do you need in your kitchen island?

If you’ve decided you want to integrate appliances into your kitchen island, you need to plan for function and spacing. If the main sink is in the island, you’ll need a dishwasher and have to decide if the dishwasher is to the right or the left of your sink. If this is going to be your main prep area, you’ll need trash, recycling and compost areas nearby, too.

How big is your kitchen? If you have a large kitchen and your refrigerator isn’t near the island, you may want a smaller under counter refrigerator nearby. If you’re installing a cooktop, take the space needed for an exhaust vent or hood into account. Make a list of everything you want in your kitchen island, in order of priority.

You may not be able to get everything in your island, but try to get at least your top five features.

3. How much storage do you need?

A lot of this depends on your kitchen layout. If you have space for a lot of cabinetry in the kitchen, island storage may not be a priority. If this is to be your main prep area, the sink and other appliances may have to come first, but try to make room for prep utensils and cutting boards near the sink.

Typically, two 24 inch base cabinets back to back will accommodate most under-island functions. But make sure that your island isn’t too big, with extra space in the middle.

Make your island three feet wide, as that tends to look best — although sometimes a width of two feet is the best fit. The length can be as few as four feet, but plan for at least seven feet if you need to accommodate a sink, a dishwasher and a cooktop.

4. How high should the counter be?

First things first: Determine your seating height. If you want to have bar stools at your island, you’ll need to decide if it’s 36 or 42 inches high. A 42-inch-high bar stool and bar tend to have more flexibility — the island can be designed in two levels, with the working side set lower for prep work and the dining side higher to accommodate bar stools. The step in between is a handy place for electrical outlets, too.

A 36-inch-high bar provides for seating that’s between a typical bar stool and a table seat. It doesn’t allow for quite as much flexibility in design, but can be a good choice for a defined eating area.

I suggest leaving at least 12 inches of overhang for seating areas, but 15 to 18 inches tends to feel more comfortable.

5. How will it fit into your kitchen layout?

Kitchens are anything but static — the busy nature of this space requires every part to be cohesively designed. Make sure the working side of your island can function with the opposite kitchen counter. Will it make sense with the rest of your kitchen? Can it complete the work triangle of the sink, range and refrigerator? Or do you need another working area with a prep sink?

The open floor area around the island also requires some calculation. I suggest about three feet of floor space on the ends of the island. The working sides of an island should have 42 inches of space as a minimum, but more than five feet usually isn’t necessary. The entertaining and eating side of the island is usually determined by the adjacent space — a dining room or living room — if there is one.

6. Do you need a designer?

It depends. Islands are often the main gathering and work spot in the kitchen, so a lot of thought goes into them. Anyone with a good sense of proportion and who takes care in planning for all the proposed uses can figure this out. But that’s not everyone. A designer or architect can help in working this out, especially when related to more than just a working kitchen. . © Gary Weisbrodt

TECH UPDATE Apple Watch

By Jamaal Rashid

without touching the screen. This patented dial comes in a variety of colours as well. This, in my view has solved pesky navigation problems that plague other smart watches. Going forward, it will be interesting so see how others tackle innovations in navigation.

I know I know … another Apple gadget. I for one will never get sick of seeing innovation in the technological department and personally think it’s quite satisfying when a new gadget successfully changes the way we live our lives.

This time I believe Apple has introduced a truly fashionable and functional product; one which can speak to individual styles. Watches have been around for centuries from the sun dial to the Rolex.

We have never been able to find a way to really improve upon this innovation until now. Of course many companies like Samsung and Motorola have done great jobs in introducing new ways to use a watch, but it’s my opinion they have fallen a little short.

The introduction of the Apple Watch back in October was a tremendously satisfying refresh to a device we wear on a day-to-day basis. Most of us wear watches not only to tell time, but as a fashion statement.

The watch we wear, much like the rest of our clothes, is a testament to our individuality. We wear them because they look and feel good. The new Apple Watch is a great start; design, quality and performance are engineered to near perfection. It is easily customizable, and comes in a variety of different colors and styles. The different style bands to choose from give this watch a sense of ownership to the wearer.

Of course, considering Apple is in fact, a technology based company; it is indeed a smart watch. The new Apple Watch has it all, from device sync to online search. Access the latest online content easily without sacrificing style or function.

Having a small screen of course could pose a few problems. For one; small screens often make it difficult to navigate. To combat this, Apple devised an intriguing way for navigation; called the Digital Crown. It makes it possible to seamlessly zoom, scroll and select

For the active user, Apple Watch incorporates the capabilities of a fitness tracker and an advanced sports watch in one device. It can track your every move which collects data to measure day-today fitness. It uses an accelerometer to measure your total body movement, and has a custom sensor that can measure intensity by tracking your heart rate. It also uses the GPS and Wi-Fi in your iPhone to track how far you’ve moved.

Apples Watch was built from the ground up with all new software and apps; I am very interested to see where this company goes with this beautiful product.

For all you Apple lovers out there I’m sure this product will be on your wish lists. I for one can’t wait to get my hands on one. How about you?
