A hair-free summer?

We recommend plastic surgery for therapeutic purposes only

After Results may vary from person to person

Why choose CosmeSurge ? ®

Any laser can be turned into a pain-free laser by lowering the energy delivered thereby minimizing the effectiveness of the hair reduction as well. In our experience, Diode lasers create less discomfort, but are only effective in the first 2-3 sessions. We use special cooling devices to reduce discomfort. For sensitive areas such as the underarm area, we use a strong numbing cream beforehand as well.

After the first few sessions of laser hair removal, the hair becomes thinner and lighter in color requiring a switch to a different laser.

We have a variety of lasers to match your skin and hair type.

note

ummer’s here! It’s official, just in case the hair-frizzing humidity and hot-footed agony (if you dare to walk around barefoot) hadn’t already tipped you off! But that doesn’t mean that things in our great city have ground to a halt. There’s still plenty going on and we’ve tried to cram as much of it as we can into this issue. Take a dip with the dolphins, splash out at a waterpark, shop ‘til you drop, or cook up a storm. Whatever takes your fancy, we’ve got it covered.

With Ramadan moving into July this year it’s the perfect time to enjoy the local culture and cuisine, and there’s plenty of tempting Iftars to choose from in our dining section. If it’s your first Ramadan make sure you check out our article on page 24. Not only do we explain the significance of the Holy Month, but we also give you some do’s and don’ts for when you are out and about.

Ramadan kareem!

I’ve just moved into a studio apartment after sharing a 3-bed with friends, and was despairing over what to do with such a small space.

THIS month

The meaning of Ramadan Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar when Allah revealed the first verses of the Holy Quran to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). The start of Ramadan is announced on the sighting of the new moon.

M

uslims mark Ramadan with prayer, fasting and charity, and it is a time to cleanse the soul, focus attention on God and practice selflessness. In addition, the fast serves to remind people of the suffering of the poor, which in turn reinforces the importance of charity. Fasting involves not eating or drinking (including water) during daylight hours, and continues for 30 days until the sighting of the next new moon. A typical day of fasting begins with the family sharing a meal called Suhour before the fast begins at dawn. As dawn breaks, the first of five daily prayers, Fajr, is offered. As the day goes by, Muslims remind themselves that they are fasting for the sole purpose of pleasing Allah and seeking his mercy and offer the second and third prayers during early and late afternoon. The fast is broken at sunset and this is called Iftar, and Muslims are urged to invite others to break the fast with them. After breaking the fast, and before dinner, Muslims offer the fourth of the five daily prayers, called the Maghrib prayer.

After dinner, Muslims offer the Isha prayer, which is the last of the five daily prayers. The day ends with a special voluntary prayer, the Taraweeh, offered by the congregation reciting the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam. After 30 days, the end of Ramadan is observed with a day of celebration called Eid-Al-Fitr, where it is traditional to wear new clothes, visit friends and relatives, exchange gifts and eat specially prepared meals.

While non-Muslims are not required to fast, they are legally obliged not to eat, drink or smoke in public and your understanding and cooperation are expected and appreciated

by the authorities. The UAE’s police do enforce cultural sensitivity, and being caught usually results in a verbal warning, but short jail sentences have been handed out in the past to those abusing the religious law.

Behind closed doors you can eat, smoke and drink to your heart’s content. In addition, many restaurants and hotels continue to serve food at breakfast and lunchtime behind screened-off areas. Residents and tourists are strongly encouraged to show consideration for those who are observing this special month, and choosing to wear modest clothing helps to show respect for the local culture. We hope you will delight in the quieter days and the bustling nights that this holy month brings, but most of all we hope you will experience some of the spirit of Ramadan.

Ramadan dos and don’ts Don’t…

• smoke, drink or eat in public between sunrise to sunset. This includes while you are driving.

• sing and dance in public.

• be overly rowdy. Keep stereos on a low volume while driving, on the beach or in your house, so as not to disturb your Muslim neighbours.

• wear clothes that are considered revealing.

Do… • smoke, drink and eat in the privacy of your home or hotel room.

• get sociable in the evenings for Iftar.

• give to the poor, Ramadan is renowned for its charitable nature.

• wish your neighbours “Ramadan Kareem”. www.mydubaiconnection.com

Dubai’s Big Pink Ball Dubai is set to play host to a beautiful, glamorous and worthwhile gala event which will raise vital funds for local charitable initiative Breast Cancer Arabia, with support from a host of star ambassadors - including Connector’s Editor Louise.

The Big Pink Ball was officially launched and announced recently at a VIP event which saw 22 new Ambassadors sign up to support the cause. They will be led by local hero Patricia Trodd, one of the participants in the first all-female UAE climbing group who reached Everest Base Camp in 2003 to raise money to purchase a breast cancer screening unit for a local UAE hospital.

Taking place on the Terrace of the five-star Meydan Hotel, Dubai’s Big Pink Ball on 24th October will be a perfectly pink party and the closing finale of ‘Dubai Goes Pink’, the month-long initiative in October which raises awareness and funds to help those dealing with breast cancer.

With 20% of all ticket sales donated directly to Breast Cancer Arabia, the night offers Dubai’s great and good a chance to relax and have fun while raising money and helping to support women and their families affected by breast cancer. Cancer is the second cause of female deaths, according to the UAE Ministry of Health, and breast cancer is the most common.

The glittering drinks reception, formal dinner and after party, organised by Turret Media, will also act as the opening event to Ladies’ Day Out, a newly launched three day show, running from 25th to 27th October, offering women of the UAE the best shopping, dining and pampering experiences.

Following the official launch of the Ball, the Ambassadors and organisers are now working to drum up support from local businesses and personalities to lend their support.

Tickets to Dubai’s Big Pink Ball go on sale in July and up to date information is available at http:// ladiesdayoutdubai.com/dubais-big-pink-ball/.

His wise suggestion of starter-size mains allowed us to sample the Blue Swimmer Crab Risotto, the Wild Truffle Risotto, a Sicilian Hot Pizza and the Chicken Grilled with Garlic and Rosemary. Despite protesting, he even talked us into the Tiramisu, the Ultimate Brownie, the Poached Seasonal Fruits and the Tutti Frutti Lemon Meringue Pie, all served in true Jamie fashion with extra spoons!

Verdict The food is fantastic! The flavours are simple yet amazing and everything was melt-inthe-mouth delicious. We all agreed that the Wild Truffle Risotto was the favourite and the Ultimate Chocolate Brownie more than justified its name. More than that, we had fun! Jamie’s has a really comfortable, chilled out atmosphere. We’re all very excited about Jamie’s new restaurant opening in Jumeirah Beach Hotel soon!

25 Degrees North Damac Executive Heights Tower, TECOM 25 Degrees North is a friendly, neighbourhood Indian restaurant specialising in dishes from the northern provinces of India.

What we ate We let the chef choose our entire menu and started with the Murgh Shorba, a chicken soup boiled with onion and aromatic herbs, and the Surkh Shorba, a tomato soup with cinnamon and coriander. This was followed by the speciality kebab platter straight from the Tandoor which included an assortment of char grilled chicken, mutton, fish and prawns. For the mains we chose the Murg Awadhi Korma - chicken pieces cooked in Lucknowi gravy, the popular Murg Makhani - butter chicken, and the Dal Makhani - a north Indian speciality. All dishes were served with rice and garlic naan.

Verdict The restaurant has an elegant setting and the tables are well laid out with a clear view of the kitchen. The food was delicately flavoured and beautifully cooked, and if you’re ever in the TECOM area we recommend you try out this little high-street gem.

Improving your indoor air quality Most people spend the majority of their time indoors; either at home, in school or at the office. That is why it is important to have the best indoor air quality as possible.

I

ndoor air quality in the home plays a major role in your respiratory health, particularly if you suffer from asthma or allergies. Research by the American Lung Association has shown that a majority of Americans (87%) are not aware that the air inside of most American homes is actually more polluted than the air outside.

Fortunately, there are some concrete action steps you can take to improve the air that you breathe: • Keep your house clean and free of dust.

• Give your carpets a professional cleaning at least once a year. Not only will this improve your home’s indoor air quality, it will prolong the life of your carpets.

• Vacuum carpets once a week - this will help keep dust and mould at bay.

• Control all biological allergens (pollen from outside, dust mites, pet dander, mould, and mildew).

• Increase ventilation. Use exhaust fans when cooking, showering, etc.

• Make sure your clothes dryer is vented to the outdoors.

40 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 40

• Maintain a comfortable temperature in your home and low humidity.

• Do not allow smoking in the house.

• Avoid using perfumes or scented cleaning sprays. Use trigger sprays instead of aerosols.

• Have your air conditioning unit serviced and cleaned regularly.

• Wash curtains twice a year.

• Vacuum upholstered furniture once a month.

• Invest in some houseplants. Plants help filter out toxins in the air, improving indoor air quality.

The top five most effective plants for treating indoor air pollution are: 1. Philodendron scandens `oxycardium’, heartleaf philodendron 2. Philodendron domesticum, elephant ear philodendron 3. Dracaena fragrans `Massangeana’, cornstalk dracaena 4. Hedera helix, English ivy 5. Chlorophytum comosum, spider plant. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/13 11:48 AM

THE TRUTH ABOUT

mOsquitOs They are more attracted to women than men; they are more active during a full moon and were around in the Jurassic era. Scientists believe that they originated in South Africa and that there are now approximately 3,500 different species of them.

F

or most mosquito species, the female draws food for her developing eggs by inserting her proboscis into the flesh of mammals or reptiles and drawing blood. As we all know, a mosquito’s bite brings discomfort, pain and sometimes an allergic reaction. Unfortunately, these bites can also cause serious complications. These include the transmission of diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, encephalitis and of viruses that can affect both humans and livestock. Consequently, some authorities argue that mosquitoes are the most dangerous animals on Earth.

Mosquitoes are usually most active in the hours after sunset and again around dawn, which makes for pesky nuisances when relaxing or dining outdoors. Thankfully, there are some simple steps you can take to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes when outside at night and prevent them getting into your house through open windows and doors.

Use an effective repellent on exposed skin and re-apply every few hours. The best

42 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 42

repellents contain Diethyl Toluamide (DEET) or Picaridin. Light mosquito coils can also be used to avoid being bitten.

To prevent them getting into your home, cover all windows, doors, vents and other entrances with insect screens. On a larger scale, many methods are used for mosquito control. Depending on the situation, the most important usually include ‘source reduction’ which is the removal and/or treatment of stagnant water, ‘bio control’, which involves importing natural predators such as dragonflies and the use of insecticides to kill larvae or adult insects.

If despite your best efforts you are bitten, itching is the main symptom to control.

Consider using topical antihistamines and anaesthetics for quick temporary relief.

BUSINESS & legal

Understanding offshore companies Offshore gains

An offshore company is a company that is incorporated in an offshore jurisdiction to benefit from one or more advantages: • legal and asset protection • business succession planning • multiple or joint investments • easy and uncomplicated set-up • less reporting • thinner capitalisation • lower costs of operation • tax benefits

Privacy and anonymity

Dubai is one of the best jurisdictions in the world for incorporating an offshore company because it is a tax-free business territory and has strict policies on privacy and confidentiality (the emirate does not have agreements concerning mandatory exchange of information about its offshore companies which are also exempt from paying corporate taxes).

Many international corporations as well as expatriate entrepreneurs feel secure, comfortable and confident about establishing offshore companies in Dubai.

An offshore company can act as an intermediary or holding company for a multinational business.

It is not mandatory for an offshore company to have a physical office, and neither is the physical presence of all shareholders required during its incorporation. There is no obligation to maintain records or books and there is no public record of the shareholders or directors, which ensures full confidentiality. And finally, it provides a legal framework for the safety and security of individual, joint, multiple, or diverse investments.

But most importantly for expatriates, an offshore company’s structure allows full private 44 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 44

ADVERTORIAL

ownership of assets including property located in Dubai. This ensures appropriate passage, in the event of death.

For families and homeowners, a special purpose offshore vehicle can be created and structured to meet specific requirements, so that assets are distributed as per the wishes of the owner/s. The sale or probate of properties can become complex and expensive in this jurisdiction but if these are collectively held by an offshore company, ownership can be transferred at any stage by company shares rather than the actual transfer of properties. Transferring the titles of assets to an offshore company means that the original owner no longer visibly controls these assets, and they cannot be seized in cases of insolvency, taxation, marital proceedings or professional negligence.

For business owners and partners under Sharia law, company shares do not pass automatically by survivorship and have to be probated in the case of a shareholder’s death. This often results in lengthy processes that affect the performance and profitability of the company. It also gets compounded when the company has more than one key shareholder, or upon the death of a husband and wife who are joint shareholders.

Property owned by an offshore company is not subject to Sharia law for the distribution of assets after death, because technically, a company cannot die, even when an individual does.

Once an offshore company has been established, property title deeds can be transferred from an individual to the company - for a small fee - as long as the beneficiaries remain the same without additions or deletions in the list of owners. The process of setting up an offshore company must be directed by experts to avoid complications, but it is achieved quickly.

Your need is to secure your assets for maximum safety and efficiency. The priority is to understand your individual circumstances, obtain personalised advice and establish an offshore company that best suits your needs.

Ways to help your children learn New research from the Australian Council for Educational Research has found that students hook onto the notion of going to university in primary school. While not advocating that school success necessarily equates to a tertiary education, this study shows how early children establish their own educational goals and expectations.

I

f a successful school journey starts at home, then what are the most important steps for bringing out the best in your child? Here are five ideas to help your kids become great learners: 1. Become involved and interested in your child’s pre-school or school life: One of the predictors for children’s success at school is their parents’ level of engagement in their school. You can become engaged by attending school meetings and functions, reading newsletters, forming a relationship with your child’s teacher and supporting school activities at home.

2. Read with your children: As literacy holds the key to almost all learning, the single most important, practical thing you can do to assist your child as a learner is to establish a reading household where kids see you reading, where kids are read to and kids read.

48 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 48

3. Take a real interest in learning: Foster learning and curiosity by asking interesting questions, holding conversations, taking them to interesting places and modelling by learning new things yourself.

4. Build self-confidence: Children with well-developed independence, social skills, organisational skills and resilience will thrive in the classroom. Shape the emotional environment for your Children to maximise success by treating their mistakes as learning opportunities, giving them plenty of positive feedback and helping them identify what they are good at.

5. Create a home study space and a routine: When they start school make sure you establish a place to hear them read and also a time for reading. These space and routine concepts will change over time as kids develop different interests and their homework demands expand - but it really helps to be thinking about them early in your child’s learning life. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/13 11:48 AM

T

Toddler time!

oddlers and young children are naturally energetic and finding ways to keep them busy can be a challenge.

Here are five of the best ways to keep your little one - or a child you are babysitting occupied and entertained.

Soapy glitter jars - These are an easy to make sensory activity that toddlers and preschoolers love. Fill some empty, plastic peanut butter jars half way with water. Add a couple of drops of food colouring, a pinch of glitter and a squirt of dish washing liquid - close tightly (or glue the lid on) and hand to your child. They will shake it, roll it on the ground and watch it settle over and over again.

Hammering - All you need are some golf tees, a child’s toy hammer and some Styrofoam.

Your little one will be working on his hand-

eye coordination as he happily hammers the golf tees into the Styrofoam.

No-mess finger-painting - Under fives love finger-painting. This great activity helps them hone their dexterity and learn some pre-writing skills. Thankfully, there is a no-mess way to get all the benefits of finger-painting with none of the mess. Simply buy the largest zip-lock freezer bags you can find, squirt some paint into one bag and seal. Place the bag on a flat surface and let your under fives draw on the bag with their finger. You can also use this method as an opportunity to teach them about colour mixing by placing two colours in the bag.

Playdough - Children love to pummel, squeeze, stretch, roll and twist playdough, and - admit it - adults do too! Playdough is cheap, easy to make and keeps well. Use it on a readily washable surface and make sure you keep it away from rugs and carpets. Gather rolling pins, cookie cutters and any other safe implements they can use to sculpt or cut the dough. The basic playdough recipe is one-cup salt, two cups plain flour, one-tablespoon oil, one tablespoon of cream of tartar, two cups of water and food colouring if required. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Mix and heat ingredients, stirring continuously, until dough becomes thick and pulls away from the side of the saucepan. Take out, allow to cool and knead.

Store in an airtight container.

Table tent - A simple table tent will keep kids occupied for ages. Simply drape a large sheet over a table making sure it reaches the ground on all sides. Once your fort has been created, you can pretend you are knights in shining armour or damsels in distress, you can imagine you are sleeping under the stars, sing around a camp fire or just hide out in your ‘tent’.

ANIMAL magic

For the LOVE of animals

I

t started in June 2012, Kremena (or Kay as everyone calls her) had always wanted a dog, so when she moved into her new villa the first thing she did was get Baxter, her beautiful beagle. What Kay didn’t know was that the lady in the villa before her had been feeding the local stray cats, so Kay started feeding and then adopting them one-by-one.

This in addition to rescuing other cats and dogs as well! She now has 12 cats along with Baxter

Hi, my name is Sandy and I would like to be your best friend for the rest of my life, and trust me I have long to live as I am only one year old. I am a little shy at first but give me a treat or a cuddle and I will wag my tail, smile at you and play happily. I like long walks and playing fetch, I love kids and other dogs too.

I also have my pet passport. If you would like to meet me please email 38smiles on info@38smiles.com.

52 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 52

and his best friend Charlie who was rescued at three months from a car park.

The name 38smiles comes from Kay’s villa No 38, where she has put smiles onto the faces of lots of animals. This non-profit organisation has grown from one person’s passion into a group of dedicated volunteers and foster parents committed towards animal welfare. Aimed at improving the quality of life for those animals living on the streets, 38smiles focuses on rescuing animals, fostering, re-homing and even raising funds for programmes such as TNR (Trap Neuter Release) and educating the public to better the chances of stray animals in the Emirate.

38smiles is a small operation that focuses on quality care and finding a forever-loving home for every rescue pet. Once a rescue is brought in to 38smiles, a vet checks the general health and ensures they are free of any diseases and/ or parasites before adoption. The volunteers then focus their time and energy on helping the animal gain confidence around people, other animals and new environments. The team also studies the temperament of the rescued animal, which ultimately helps them place each pet into the perfect home.

To adopt one of the 38smiles rescues you must first visit www.38smiles.com and fill out the online adoption form. Once reviewed, a face-to-face interview will be set up followed by a vet visit. The entire process takes about a week to complete.

To learn more about 38smiles or to volunteer your much needed help, visit www.facebook. com/38Smiles or www.38smiles.com. You can also contact the team at info@38smiles.com to find out about the animals up for adoption or for information on the TNR (Trap- NeuterRelease) initiative.

• Summer’s here, and you may have been stressing about getting into shape and being ‘sun kissed’ before you go on holiday. That ‘sun kissed’ look does come at a price however.

Other than making sure your skin is fully protected, tanning in the hot sun can also lead to hair dryness. To prevent this problem from occurring, it is ideal to stay away from the blow dryer and hair irons during this time. There is no better time than summer to embrace your natural hair texture. Avoiding hot styling tools will also help reduce breakage, which is the primary cause of frizz.

• Most men think that because they have short hair, they do not need to use conditioner after shampooing. This is not true. Both men and women should always use an after-shampoo conditioner whatever their hair type. Pour a small quantity into the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and smooth the conditioner over the hair focusing on the tips.

Do not rub into the scalp or put an excess amount of conditioner on the scalp. Rinse immediately.

• Many people believe that conditioner has to ‘soak’ into the hair. That is a myth. There is no reason to leave conditioner in your hair for any length of time. A well-formulated conditioner should act on the hair immediately. You cannot ‘over condition’. If you think you are - you may be using the wrong conditioner, or using too much product or not using it correctly. Just remember to use conditioner on a regular basis, in small quantities and rinse well.

• Take extra care to protect coloured hair.

Whatever measures you take, coloured hair exposed to bright sunlight will lighten. Avoid this with a cool summer hat and post wash leave-in sun care products.

• Bleaching your hair can leave it vulnerable to breakage and brittle ends when exposed to excessive sun. Consider waiting until after your holiday before you bleach your hair or simply opt for the better option and stay away from bleach all together!

• Never vigorously dry your hair using a towel.

This action roughens up the cuticle giving hair a dull and tangled appearance once dry.

• It is vitally important to remember that your www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 61

scalp is an extension of your face - so you should never go out in the sun without some sort of protection on your hair and scalp. Men who are experiencing a little hair loss should remember that the scalp can easily burn. Use a sun protection product with a high SPF in the form of a cream, gel, mousse, spray or leave-in conditioner. As a rule, when you find yourself out in the sun, the beach or at the pool without pre-planning, reach for a hat to cover delicate strands.

• Hair is most vulnerable when it is wet, so it is better to use a comb than a brush - a comb is easier on your hair and scalp. Vigorous brushing weakens your hair by removing some of the hair’s cuticles and may break hair off the cuticle as the constant traction pulls the hair out. Sharp bristles will also scratch your scalp.

• Brushes are often an essential styling tool - but you need to be careful. Choose a brush with a long, widely spaced plastic (not natural) bristle. Plastic bristles are smoother, blunter and kinder to your hair and scalp. The bristles should, preferably, be ball-tipped. Above all, avoid anything with metal prongs and opt for a ‘saw-cut’ comb in which each tooth is cut into it, making it smoother. They are available in plastic or vulcanite (hard rubber). Avoid cheap plastic combs made from a mould as these can cut into the hair. Metal combs are even worse as their edges can lacerate the hair.

• While it is important to ramp up your moisturising and conditioning duties during the summer months, make sure to keep your roots and hair hydrated from the inside out also. Drink plenty of liquids to keep roots and strands flush with fluids. Water will also keep your skin soft and plump.

• Depending on your hair type, texture and condition, you may wish to consider avoiding hair care products which contain known ingredients (for instance, some forms of alcohol) which may be drying to your hair type. Finally, eat healthy, well-balanced meals.

Everything you eat affects your body, including your hair.

Beauty survival kit

M

ost of us keep a small First Aid kit in our homes, our handbag or car but what happens if you have a (far less serious) beauty emergency?

Would you be prepared? Whether you are going to the job interview of a lifetime, going on a hot date or just a night out on the town, countless beauty bloopers may be lurking just around the corner! Do not fall victim to some of womankind’s oldest enemies; instead, be ready and armed for whatever beauty blunders may befall you. At a bare minimum, your beauty survival kit should include the following: Clear lip-gloss or Chap Stick - No matter how kissable and soft you know your lips are, it can never hurt to add some moisture and shine with a deliciously flavoured lip-gloss.

Dental floss and toothpick - A single strand of floss coiled up and tucked away can really save the day in case your romantic candlelit dinner for two becomes a dinner for three, if you count the broccoli between your teeth as a single entity! A toothpick may also be a good item to include for dental hygiene purposes away from home.

Mini mouthwash - Fresh breath in an instant! Just take a small swig of mouthwash 62 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 62

after dinner or before you head out the door.

Chase the taste of your lunch, dinner or even strong coffee away with a quick rinse with some minty mouthwash.

Mini trial size perfume spritzer - Freshen up anytime you like by carrying a miniature purse-sized fragrance with you. Scent is often considered the sense most tied to memory, so let your fragrance linger and leave a lasting impression wherever you go!

Pressed powder - Banish a shiny face with a gentle blotting of pressed powder complementary to your skin tone. A concealer stick may also come in handy!

Toothbrush and toothpaste - Keeping your choppers pearly white can really be a daunting task if you are on the run all the time. Why not buy an extra toothbrush and tube of toothpaste to keep with you in your car, or in your purse when you know you will need it?

Fresh breath and clean teeth can be yours all the time, even if it does mean brushing away in the office restroom!

Depending on the size of your purse, you may wish to compile your own beauty survival kit and store it all inside a zippered pouch that you can bring with you from place to place. Add your own beauty items to the pouch to create the ultimate survival kit especially for you! www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/13 11:48 AM

VelaSmooth Pro & Cavitation @ SlimSpa

& Tried

You know how everyone has that one bit of their body they hate? Well for me it’s my arms.

They don’t look like they belong to my body and all sleeveless tops and dresses have been banished to the back of my wardrobe. And then SlimSpa stepped in to help…

What’s involved?

SlimSpa suggested I try Velasmooth Pro and Cavitation. Used together the treatments can produce amazing results. The VelaSmooth Pro combines Infrared Light (IR), Radio Frequency (RF), Vacuum and mechanical tissue manipulation. It is good for circumferential reduction, cellulite treatment, body shaping and body contouring. While Cavitation is the most advanced treatment for localised fat accumulation. It can be used for body sculpting, carving and deep fat removal on the thighs, buttocks, waist, stomach, calves, hands, “love-handles” and double chins.

What are the results?

An hour later with no pain and no downtime I had lost 2.5cm from each arm! Of course I’m delighted with this, but I’m absolutely over the moon about the way my arms look. They’re thinner, smoother and all the little fatty bits have gone. Result!

How much?

VelaSmooth Pro is priced at Dhs 800 for a single session and Dhs 4,800 for a package of 8 treatments. Cavitation is priced at Dhs 500 for a single session and Dhs 3,000 for a package of 8 treatments.

H2O Pure Blue Shower Purifier Tap water can contain a range of contaminants from different sources, such as chlorine, lead and inorganic salts. With H2O Pure Blue Shower Purifier, you can have shower water that is free of these undesirable elements.

What’s involved?

Ordinary shower filters use only carbon filtration, which, to be effective, has to be big enough to handle the volume of water passing through the shower water filter. On the other hand, KDF is a finely granulated copper-zinc formulation that removes chlorine, iron, salts, sediments, and other damaging minerals.

What are the results?

By effectively removing 98% of chlorine from tap water, Pure Blue Purifier helps improve dry and sensitive skin reducing skin rashes, blotches and wrinkles, dry scalp, thinning hair and dandruff. It can also help reduce respiratory problems, such as asthma and bronchitis, caused by chlorine inhalation.

How much?

Priced at Dhs 250.

Pure Blue Shower Purifier can be purchased online at www.h2opureblue.com or at selected salons and pharmacies throughout the UAE, such as Sister Beauty Lounge, Hairworks and Bin Sina Pharmacy. -L.D. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/13 11:48 AM

Laser Hair Reduction @ Cocoona Centre For those of you tired of shaving and waxing unwanted body hair, laser hair reduction is a great solution.

What’s involved?

Laser hair reduction slows hair growth. It is most effective on those with light skin and dark hair, and works best on coarse rather than fine hair. However, Cocoona offers a variety of laser treatments that cover all skin and hair types. After a consultation with Dr Dalia Ali Ibrahim, a licenced Cosmetologist & Laser Therapist, I was recommended the Alexandrite Laser, the fastest and most widely used of the laser systems which is good for treating large body areas in patients with light-to-olive complexion. The process is extremely quick and within 20 minutes I had my lower legs, underarms and upper lip treated, with no pain, redness or irritation.

What are the results?

Great! After a few weeks I noticed that my hair growth on the areas treated had diminished considerably and I will certainly be continuing this treatment as it usually takes 6 to 8 sessions to provide an extended hair-free period.

How much?

The price for one session of laser hair removal on the lower legs is Dhs 1,000. Until 15th August enjoy a special price of Dhs 4,000 on a package of 6 sessions plus 2 retouch sessions after completion of the package.

Warm Lava Shells Massage at Sisters Beauty Lounge If you’re looking to melt away stress then try Sisters Beauty Lounge’s latest eco-pampering treat - the Warm Lava Shells Massage. I went down to Sisters at Village Mall to try it out.

What’s involved?

This new treatment uses 100% genuinely recycled Tiger Striped Clam Shells sourced from the South Pacific, which are able to retain heat much longer than a hot stone, relieving the deepest aches, pains, stress and tension.

Certified eco-friendly, the sand-polished Lava Shells are the world’s first naturally self-heating massage tool. The therapist started with massage oil and then moved onto the shells which felt lovely and warm and really smooth.

What are the results?

The heat from the shells stimulates blood flow, which promotes the removal of toxins from cells, relaxing sore muscles and stiff joints, and gives your skin a healthy glow. I felt really chilled out afterwards!

How much?

The 60-minute full body Lava Shells massage is priced at Dhs 475.

What are you

EATING? With just about every food label full of preservatives and additives, is it any wonder then that cancer and other diseases are skyrocketing in today’s modern world?

Mary Sullivan investigates.

70 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 70

www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/13 3:14 PM

Defined

According to Lovely Ranganath, DHA Licensed Dietician with Healthtrendz, the healthy meal delivery initiative of Dubai World Trade Centre, food additives are substances added to our food to help in the manufacturing process, to enhance appearance, flavour, or texture of the food, or to keep it safe and fresh for longer. Intentional food additives include antimicrobial agents which are preservatives that prevent microorganisms from growing and retard spoilage or maintain desired qualities such as softness in baked goods, says Ranganath as well as artificial colours that are certified by the FDA to enhance appearance. “Other additives include artificial flavours, flavour enhancers - chemicals that mimic natural flavours and those that enhance flavour, nutrient additives - vitamins and minerals added to improve nutritive value, antioxidants, and ionising rays used to sterilise and protect food,” she says.

Safety

With regards to regulations regarding additives, Ranganath is quick to point out that we need not worry too much since the FDA’s concern with additives hinges primarily on their safety, and reminds us that no additive receives permanent approval; all must undergo periodic review. And yet while there is transparency in safety measures, Sheeb Kristine Q. Salazar, Senior Dietician of Belhoul Speciality Hospital, Nutrition and Lifestyle Department stresses that while the FDA requires all ingredients be listed on the food label, more often, additives are listed as flavorings and spices making it impossible for the end user to determine what exactly they are consuming.

Check the label for: Hydrogenated vegetable oil

The process used to create this actually creates trans-fats, explains Salazar. “This can increase the risks of diabetes and heart disease,” she says and the Institute of Medicine has advised that consumers should eat as little www.mydubaiconnection.com Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 71

trans-fats as possible. “All foods with trans-fats on the label, which includes some margarine, vegetable shortening, crackers, cookies, baked goods, salad dressings, and bread should be avoided by consumers,” she says but unfortunately trans-fats are widely used today due to low cost and because it increases the shelf life of the product.

Monosodium glutamate

More commonly referred to as MSG, this is widely used in a number of foods as a flavour enhancer. “MSG received publicity because it may produce an adverse reaction in some individuals, the so-called Chinese restaurant syndrome - involving burning sensations, chest and facial flushing or pain, and throbbing headaches,” Ranganath says, however in processed foods, artificial lemon flavouring and fresh lemon juice also work.

Butylatedhydroxyanisole (BHA)

BHA is a phenol-based food preservative that serves as an antioxidant for food, says Salazar which also prevents fat spoilage. In animal testing, BHA has caused cancer in the stomach while in test tube studies, BHA has mimicked the hormonal actions of estrogen, and also repeated contact with skin may cause irritation, skin allergies and dermatitis.*

Nitrites

Found in sausages, pastrami and other kinds of cured meats, nitrites clearly serve a useful purpose, but their use has been controversial, says Ranganath. “In the human body, nitrites can be converted to nitrosamines and at nitrite levels higher than those used in food products, nitrosamine formation causes cancer in animals,” she says. Furthermore, Salazar explains that a diet high in sodium nitrites may lead to a fatal health condition called methemoglobinemia, which is the inability of the red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body. Also The American Medical Association have said that sodium nitrites may result in gastrointestinal and brain cancer.

Colours-tartrazine (E102), sunset yellow (E110), and the preservative sodium benzoate (E211)

These have been implicated in hyperactive behaviour in children, says Ranganath.

“A lot of evidence is anecdotal and recent government funded trials suggest a link but the findings have not been conclusive,” she says. “Some manufacturers have bowed to consumer pressure and have removed additives from their processed foods, at least in those aimed at children; so now parents have a choice if they prefer to avoid artificial additives.”

Aspartame

This, says Salazar, is an artificial sweetener found in Equal, Nutrasweet and diet sodas and this has been found to cause brain tumors in studies conducted in rats, and it was recently reported that even small doses increase the occurrence of lymphomas and leukemia in rats.

Potassium bromate

Most often used in bread products and pastries, potassium bromate improves the quality of flour, says Salazar. “These chemical based products usually become metabolised into harmful substances within different organs,” she says. In the case of potassium bromate, cancer usually develops in the kidney or thyroid when consumed frequently and in large doses.

Olestra

This is a fat substitute used in crackers and chips under the brand name Olean, says Salazar. “This synthetic fat cannot be absorbed by the body so it can cause flatulence, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain, along with other gastrointestinal discomfort,” she 72 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 72

says. Olestra also affects the body’s ability to absorb beneficial fat-soluble nutrients, including Vitamins A, D, E and K.

Natural Preservatives: Salt Salt has been used since ancient times to preserve meat and fish.

Salt dehydrates the food and the microbes present in the food, so that they can’t contribute to decomposition.

Sugar Like salt, sugar eliminates moisture from food, stopping the growth of bacteria and other microbes that contribute to decay.

Rosemary extract Rosemary extract contributes to the nice aroma and flavour to the food.

The extract is an antioxidant that preserves the flavour and appearance of food by preventing oxidation, a key component of decomposition.

Vinegar Vinegar contains 5% acetic acid which kills bacteria and other micro-organisms.

Don’t quit, stay fit 2. Reduce the intensity of exercise

E

xercise during the Holy Month of Ramadan is highly recommended. So there is no need to stop, just to adapt your regular fitness regime around the times your body feels best suited for exercise, be that before Iftar or after you break your fast.

Recommended workout timing

The one and a half hour window before Iftar is an ideal time to slot in your workout. At this time, exercising will take your mind off your appetite and knowing that you will be able to eat shortly will keep you motivated. Alternatively, you can work out 30 minutes before breaking your fast with water and dates and then continue the second half of your workout for a complete 60 minutes. Remember eat and drink slowly, and try not to get too much in too quickly.

Morning workouts are great too, but should be something light like Pilates, Yoga or Body Balance as you will need to conserve your energy stores for the rest of the day until you break your fast.

If you cannot fit in your workout before Iftar, you could have a light Iftar and fit in a moderateintensity evening workout. With this option, leave a two-hour window after breaking your fast, so that your body has enough time to stabilise, digest and get hydrated. Keep your workouts concentrated and short.

Here are five tips that will allow you to continue to stay active during Ramadan without over-taxing your system or jeopardising your fast.

1. Adjust your fitness goals

Make your goal simply to maintain your current weight. Making fitness or weight loss improvements requires you giving your body a deficiency of some sort, which causes a reduction in energy, and often compromises the immune system. Both of these will affect your ability to fast.

74 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 74

This allows you to stay consistent in working out without over-taxing your energy reserves.

If you usually lift 10 kg weights, switch to 8 kg, and if you normally work out for an hour, reduce to 30 or 45 minutes. Try taking three to four movements hitting major body parts in a circuit style arrangement. Four rounds of 10 reps using larger muscle groups when you train will allow you to sculpt as well as define your body during this period.

3. Group exercise

With group exercise classes designed and timed specifically for those fasting during the Holy Month, the timetable should be offering classes like Yoga, Pilates, Body Balance and others designed to keep you active and toned.

Yoga is gentle to the body and raises your energy levels, ideal during this time. You should be able to find classes available before and after Iftar, as well as morning sessions. Your favourite higher energy classes like Body Pump, Body Combat and RPM should also be available either before or after Iftar. Check your club’s Group Exercise (GX) Timetable for details.

4. Mix and match

If you usually do separate cardio and resistance training sessions as a part of your workout and cannot do both during Ramadan, combine both in a resistance training circuit.

5. Be consistent

Consistency is the key to success. It will make the biggest difference in keeping you fit during Ramadan. Focus on small, regular workouts instead of your usual routine. Do what you can, when you can. The important thing is to stay fit and stay healthy and always listen to your body.

Create the life you want You can discover your authentic self if you just learn how to listen... so take time to listen to your own voice.

W

e often say harsh and harmful things to ourselves that we would never say to others.

When you catch yourself doing that, ask: How much of this dialogue comes from my parents, my education, my culture and experiences? Whose values do I live by? What influences have come together to form my view of myself ? What are my true gifts and limitations?

• Writing down your thoughts and feelings is a great way to help you find the answers. Just do not be discouraged if what you put down seems superficial or trite at first. Keep writing until something happens. By doing this, you will begin to get a picture of how you want your life to be. Then you can start exploring how to go about creating that life.

76 | JULY Connector Connector Master Layout - July 2013.indd 76

• Listen to what your body says about you.

Having unrealistic expectations of how your body should be; trying to manage it with weight control, clothing and cosmetics; and aiming for other’s idea of perfection when you have not yet found self-acceptance can all lead to frustration and loss of identity.

A customised fitness plan can help you accept your body as it actually is. Classes that involve breathing, movement and rhythm, the way dance does, bypass the cognitive and verbal parts of our brain and help us get outside ourselves to know ourselves more deeply.

• Listen to the sound of silence. You should not feel compelled to cram every moment with activities and external stimuli. Women often rely on staying busy to avoid feelings of self-dislike that arise when they are alone or bored. Similarly, you should not try to assuage painful feelings of emptiness by filling yourself with food. Sit with the pain, stay with emptiness; it can take shape if you do not fill it.

Still your mind with practices like meditation or quiet walks in nature, and listen for your deeper and truer voice to emerge.

Acupuncture @ Emirates European Medical Centre Acupuncture involves the stimulation of points on the body by penetrating the skin with needles.

It is one of the key components of traditional Chinese medicine and is among the oldest healing practices in the world. It is particularly helpful for pain management, stress, weight loss, infertility, hormone imbalance and smoking cessation.

What’s involved?

After a consultation with Dr Li, practitioner of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, it was agreed that I needed help to stop smoking, reduce my weight, assist with stress, and improve my digestion. Needles were inserted into my arms, legs, stomach and around my nose and mouth area. It is a completely painless procedure and I felt nothing more than tiny pin pricks. I then relaxed for 30 minutes and drifted into a light sleep. The needles were then removed and Dr Liu inserted some tiny herbal seeds into my ears to stimulate specific points to reduce stress and cravings.

What are the results?

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I must say...I’m impressed! After my first treatment I smoked a cigarette and it was a completely different experience and did not feel at all satisfying. I have had a total of four treatments to date and my digestion has considerably improved. I do not feel so stressed and I do not have the desire to smoke.

I have even lost two kilos without trying.

How much?

Sessions are each priced at Dhs 400 and five to 10 sessions are recommended for smoking cessation.

Ask the doctor The Viva Mayr Clinic in Austria is worldfamous for its miraculous results in detoxing, weight loss and digestive health. Set on the idyllic Lake Worth, the clinic operates under the direction of Dr Harald Stossier and his team. Connector went to find out more‌ The Mayr Cure is about re-educating the body. Can you explain it to our readers?

Re-education of our eating habits means to establish a healthy rhythm. We advise people to eat slowly, chew well and to enjoy their meals, but also to ensure that we have enough time to digest what we have eaten during meals. It is important to know digestive process has a rhythm. We have much more energy in the morning and less in the evening.

So therefore we have to make sure that our evening meal is as early as possible and as easily digestible as possible. We should not drink with our meals but in between, otherwise our saliva is diluted exactly at the time where we need it in an intensive form to digest the food. We also have to look a little bit at the alkaline acidity balance to train all these things.

The Modern Mayr therapy at the VIVA is excellent for overall health when their methods are followed.

Your Horoscope CANCER 21 Jun - 22 Jul

by Capella

CAPRICORN 22 Dec - 19 Jan

A lot of planetary activity in Cancer promises a very lively July. The new Moon on the 8th and benevolent Jupiter starting months of movement also in Cancer suggests you will be operating at peak performance and making numerous life style changes, which would be best dealt with earlier in the month. Plan plenty of chill time for end of month relaxation.

You might not feel like getting out and about, but partners, either business or personal, are likely to be full of vim and vigour and raring to go. Even they will feel their enthusiasm to get on top of things has been a little tiring in the last few days of the month and will be more than pleased to share some quiet and peaceful time in order to recuperate.

LEO 23 Jul - 22 Aug

Romance is likely to be pretty non-existent in the first week of July whilst the planet of love, Venus, makes a difficult aspect to serious Saturn in the uppermost area of your chart. Fortunately it moves forward on the 9th and afterward with your energy restored people will notice and you may even be asked if you have endless stamina.

Keep much to yourself for awhile if you are making plans for an overseas adventure. The 7/8th are good dates for surprising someone, but if you are experiencing monetary difficulties or delays you might have to wait until after the 23rd when Venus eases its way into your personal financial house smoothing the path ahead and easing any stress.

VIRGO 23 Aug - 22 Sep

Numerous planets sit in an area of your chart which governs wish fulfillment so expect some dreams to come true. You should be enjoying an enormous amount of entertainment. When Venus the planet of love and harmony moves into Virgo on the 23rd a love interest might develop with someone who has been waiting for you to show interest.

AQUARIUS 20 Jan - 17 Feb

PISCES 18 Feb - 19 Mar

Long distant travel is unlikely whilst happiness could lay in domestic dealings with youngsters, who keep you busy planning numerous entertaining outings around the 19th. You don’t want to shock people with outlandish behavior in the last week of July, so consider carefully the appropriateness of the places you would like to visit with them.

ARIES 20 Mar - 19 Apr

LIBRA 23 Sep – 22 Oct

Jupiter, the planet of finance and learning, now spends a lengthy stay in the uppermost area of your chart. Keep a tight reign on your imagination around numerous ideas that may be put to you for a lucrative development. Early July would be the best time for a clearer vision of the success you could achieve if you stay cool, calm and collected.

The domestic area of your horoscope has five planets moving through it, so don’t be surprised if you have a strong desire to make changes and/or improvements.

Plan to enjoy an amazing event around the 7/8th which may enlighten you to seek the sort of freedom you would appreciate; even if it just to design a more open plan and spacious home.

SCORPIO 23 Oct - 21 Nov

TAURUS 20 Apr - 20 May

If your fire and enthusiasm for life feels as if it has been on hold for some time you can now look forward to a wonderful and enormous sense of relief as retrograde Saturn in Scorpio moves forward releasing its restraining influence.

Enjoy the sense of renewed freedom particularly around the 19th when you should have cause for a special celebration.

SAGITTARIUS 22 Nov - 21 Dec

If you want to turn a possible hectic and complicated end of July into one of peace and mutual respect you would be well advised not to keep secrets from partners and willingly share any financial or legal issues.

The 8th and 9th are great days for getting together for lengthy chats, when a new Moon may influence a fresh understanding with each other.

Partners may be in a sedate mood whilst cool and steady Saturn sits in the area of your chart governing relationships. You may even surprise yourself with your intuitive nature and understanding of what people really mean behind their seemingly guarded opinions. If you take numerous short trips you won’t miss out on gossipy chat with friends.

GEMINI 21 May - 20 Jun

Fiery and hot Mars in Gemini until the 14th supports as much energy as you need to apply to some jobs, so get them done and sorted, but afterward it could kick off a lot of financial issues which may need resolving. The 7/8/9th are great days for getting out and about visiting siblings or neighbours when support from friends may surprise you. www.mydubaiconnection.com 6/24/13 11:48 AM
