Kiwi is an exotic fruit that originated in China, with a fuzzy outer skin and juicy flesh. Rich in trace elements, minerals and vitamins, the kiwi quickly conquered the global market with its unique, exceptional sweet and sour taste!

Why introduce kiwi into our daily diet?

How to enjoy kiwis

It is rich in vitamin C. Consumption of a single kiwifruit can cover the human organism’s daily requirement in this vitamin. It is also an excellent source of vitamins A, E and B complex, and it contains potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium.

There are several different ways to incorporate kiwis into your daily diet: • Serve your friends a refreshing fruit drink made with kiwi and melon.

• Make delicious and healthy kiwi-based smoothies.

• Enrich your breakfast by adding freshly cut slices of kiwi to yoghurt or to your cereal.

• Enjoy chocolate kiwis! Cut the kiwis in slices and dip them in melted chocolate.

The taste is a revelation!

• Simply add kiwi to your favourite green salad.

European kiwis conquer the global market!

European kiwi stands out for its quality, both in taste and in nutritional value, because it is harvested by hand. Kiwis are placed in suitable refrigerated storage areas within 24 hours from harvesting, thus guaranteeing that all of the fruit’s nutrients are preserved.

European kiwis stand out and are sought after in many international markets, and are exported to over 51 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and America.

www.hellokiwi.eu

So let your imagination run free and pleasantly surprise your friends and family, by using kiwi in various recipes. The results will amaze you!

ithout fail at this time of year, people always ask me what happens to my horse, Bella, during the summer. The answer’s always the same - I keep riding her! Yes we cut back on our riding time and go out very early in the morning, but the desert air is less oppressive in the morning and it’s usually quite pleasant. So don’t let the heat stop you this summer and grab our A to Z of keeping cool for new ideas on what to do and where to go!

Don’t forget to enter our great competitions on www.connector.ae. Remember, you have to be in it to win it!

Have a great month!

Hi Louise, Please keep the great articles on summer pet care coming. Nothing sickens me more than seeing a dog left in the car outside Spinneys or someone walking their dog in the middle of the day. Come on people, it’s not rocket science! You would think it would be common sense, but clearly some people need to be reminded again and again. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog! Thanks again for the regular info in Connector’s pet section. From Barb

My husband and I are new to Dubai and picked up Connector at one of the schools we were viewing last week. Just wanted to say what a great magazine it is! Having looked at the green pages at the back we’ve already found a dentist and nursery school in our area. Many thanks, J&P Lawson.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I am a big fan of your beauty tips. I’m ready for summer and thanks to your last issue, so is my make-up. Thanks again! - Layan

To the team at Connector. Thanks for the list of summer camps. I rely on this every year and, as usual, you’ve come to the rescue. I’ve signed my son up for an amazing camp which certainly takes the guilt out of having to work all summer.

Cheers, Melanie.

A coffee with…

Salina Handa Founder of SensAsia Urban Spas What brought you to Dubai?

I was fresh out of college when I first came to Dubai. The world was my oyster, and I was eagerly searching for my next challenge. At the time, I was supposed to be going to work for my father in Thailand, but my sister lived in Dubai and encouraged me to “come hang out” with her for a while, before I did. I was supposed to leave six months later at the latest, but life just snowballed, as it does in Dubai! Before I knew it, I had a job, a life, and a future husband!

I am up at 6.15am. If my husband Kavit is travelling, the mornings are a mad rush for me to get our twins Soroya and Sienna (age seven) ready and off to school. If he is here to help, we will sit to eat breakfast as a family, until I leave the house at 7.15am.

Then I’ll head to the gym or a Pilates class and be in the SensAsia office before 10am.

My working hours are generally up until school pick-up time, which is 2pm, so I have become very good at powering through my to-do list! I will take the kids home, and if they are busy with activities, I get a chance to work from home or run some of my errands. We eat dinner around 6pm on nights my husband and I are home, but on the nights we are out for the evening, I’ll make sure we hang out with the kids right before their bedtime, which is at 8pm. This is my favourite, but most tiring, time of day - as there hasn’t been a moment free before it!

How did you get into this profession?

SensAsia was a product of my own life-long addiction to spas. It all started on holiday in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Hanoi.

While Kavit played golf, I went in search of a lazy afternoon indulging myself. Right in the middle of the most glorious Shiatsu I have ever 20 | JULY Connector

had, I almost ached at the thought of not being able to have this when I went back to Dubai.

The idea struck to create my own sanctuary, that, if done correctly, I could also have so much fun with. I had a business and marketing degree, so I knew how to ‘package’ an idea and sell it.

Now I just needed the ingredients to make the product work. I met Kavit back at the hotel that evening and was bursting at the seams, desperate to tell him my idea and hoping and praying he wouldn’t crush it by laughing. He was extremely supportive of the decision, and I opened my first SensAsia Urban Spa at The Village, Jumeirah in September 2004. This year, we are celebrating 12 years of SensAsia, with four spas across the UAE, a team of just over 100, and exciting expansion opportunities outside of the region.

What is the best thing about your job?

Assessments! I love being called into the spa to assess new therapists, treatments, and all the little touches that go into the complete SensAsia journey. I also love that we can be so flexible with every element of SensAsia - from the treatments themselves through to our marketing. SensAsia is run by a group of very strong-willed women, who also double up as very hard-to-please clients! We have free rein to adapt the SensAsia experience as we see fit, and this can happen very quickly as we do not need to follow any kind of corporate process. We can be as creative as we want and need to be, and that really helps every member of the team feel connected to and passionate about SensAsia. This makes the SensAsia model extremely unique, and it is the reason we have drawn the attention of several boutique hotels throughout the GCC, and are currently finalising some exciting expansion opportunities.

What was a standout moment in your career?

My first award, which was the What’s On Best Spa Award in 2011. SensAsia won against spas in major hotels, and I never dreamed consumers would classify us in that league. I was truly honoured, and I still am today.

What advice would you have for any young person wanting to get into your field?

It is a very different market today than what it was 10+ years ago. People are savvier now. They have a myriad of choices, and can access them at speed. So, whatever the concept/product/service it is that you want to launch, spend a good deal of your time analysing its path - from concept to manifestation. Is it an immutable concept?

Is there anything about it that makes you stand apart from the rest, in the eye of the consumer (not your own)? Heaps of clarity and vision are required. As Abraham Hicks says, you need to be tuned in, tapped in and turned on!

And the worst…

Operational issues, and people issues. When there are so many people to take care of in a company, sometimes you get really bogged down with minor and petty ‘people issues’, as important as they are. www.connector.ae

A to Z of keeping cool

Keeping your kids entertained during the summer can be quite a daunting task.

There’s always the struggle of keeping them active instead of stuck behind a computer screen. This, of course, can be difficult considering how hot it is right now. No need to panic. From aquatic zoos to ice skating to water parks, we have put together an A to Z list for the ultimate summer entertainment.

All about water One of the best ways to stay cool this summer is being submerged in refreshing water. The UAE conveniently has more than a handful of water parks across the country with special rates throughout the summer.

Splash Pad is a refreshing splash park for toddlers and kids that has an array of activities from fountains, tipper bucket and water squirters, alongside climbing frames and other equipment to play on. Conveniently shaded and located at JBR’s The Beach near Reel Cinema, a children’s one hour pass is priced at Dhs 65 or Dhs 95 for the full day.

Call 800 MERAAS (800 637227) or visit www.thebeach.ae.

Bowled over You may not have done it for years, but bowling is a fun and social way to spend a few 22 | JULY Connector

Cram in some culture Teach your children a little bit more about the amazing country we live in at The Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding.

The cetnre aims to help others understand the UAE’s traditions and culture. Held in the courtyard of the wind-tower house in the heart of the Al Fahidi Historic District of Old Bur Dubai, events include a cultural breakfast, lunch or dinner as well as tours of Jumeirah Mosque and a heritage tour. Call 04-3536666 or visit www.cultures.ae.

Day with a difference Dreamland Aqua Park offers over 250,000 square metres of lush landscaped gardens.

Located in Umm Al Quwain, it offers thrilling rides, overnight waterside camping facilities in tents or cabanas as well as a mini zoo, sporting facilities and various dining outlets.

The park is themed around the tale of Juha, a character from the Arabian folklore and is open from 10am to 7pm (10am to 6pm on Thursdays) and on Starlight Fridays, the park opens from 10am to 10pm. The general admission rate is Dhs 275 for visitors 1.1 metres or above in height and Dhs 230 for visitors below that. Call 04-3484444.

Foster an animal If you are staying home for the summer, why not foster a cat or dog? Especially during the summer, so many animals are abandoned in the city and rescue organisations find themselves overwhelmed. With so many animals in need of homes, why shop for a furry friend? If you are looking to get a cat, visit Feline Friends (www.felinefriendsdubai.com) or 38smiles (www.38smiles.com). If you want a dog, visit K9 Friends (www.k9friends.com). Animal Action (www.facebook.com/animalactionabudhabi) also does some amazing work with all kinds of animals. www.connector.ae

Glide and slide Improve your ice skating skills at Dubai Ice Rink Skating Academy, located in Dubai Mall. Open to anyone, you can enjoy ice skating for the first time or perfect your skills.

You can even skate all day for just Dhs 125.

Just drop in during opening hours and skate to your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content. This is valid from Sunday to Wednesday only and not applicable on public holidays. Call 04-4485111 or visit www.dubaiicerink.com.

Hotel haven If you time it right, it is not too hot to go the beach or hit the pool. Why not make a mini staycation out of it? Hotels across the country are offering special summer rates for weekend stays with exclusive access to pools and beaches. Check out your nearest hotel or beach club for their summer admission offers.

Ice ice baby Only 45 minutes from Dubai, Ras Al Khaimahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ice Land Water Park offers snow and ice right here in the desert. Online ticket prices start at Dhs 200 for adults and Dhs 115 for children with combo packages are also available. Call toll free 800 WOWRAK (969725) or visit www.icelandwaterpark.com.

Jump for joy Imagine a world where the walls become the floor, a slam-dunk is within your grasp and the rules of gravity no longer apply. Get airborne at BOUNCE and throw yourself into aerial manoeuvres, slam dunking, wall running and dodgeball warfare. General admission for jumpers over 110cm in height is Dhs 80 for the first session and Dhs 70 for the second session.

King of the crocs Take your kids for a unique day out at the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, located at The Dubai Mall. It is one of the largest suspended aquariums in the world. It houses thousands of aquatic animals, comprising over 140 species. King Croc weighs in at a whopping 750 kilos and measuring over 5 metres in length; he has to be seen to be believed.

Originally spotted measuring only 2.4 metres in length and dubbed a ‘problem’ crocodile by the locals, the soon to be King Croc was quickly moved from the Botanic Gardens that he had taken over, to a more protected environment located in Queensland, Australia before coming to Dubai.

Pierrot

One of the most common health problems faced by children today is tooth decay. More than 50% of toddlers suffer from it, which leads to cavities usually caused by unhealthy eating habits and poor oral hygiene. This is a result of parents not helping their children form a habit of daily teeth care routine which could prevent tooth loss, and cavities.

This problem can be solved by adapting a good oral care routine.

Pierrot Oral Care is introducing their kids’ range in the UAE, which are manufactured using the highest quality and most advanced products in the market.

As one of the most respected European brands in the region, Pierrot’s philosophy is: ‘To provide customers with the best possible service and end-users with the best of products’.

& Tried

Al Raha Beach Hotel, Abu Dhabi

In need of a mini-break, my husband and I took off to Al Raha Beach, Abu Dhabi - a 5-star hotel set in landscaped gardens along a stretch of white sandy beach on the Al Raha Corniche.

We had the pleasure of staying in the newly furnished wing, in one of the most luxurious suites I have every stayed in. With high floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and surrounding waterways, tasteful decor, the most comfortable bed you can imagine, and a huge bathroom with rainforest shower, and a luxury bathtub, I could have stayed in the room the entire visit.

But there was food to eat, and the food at Al Raha is remarkable! Sevilla restaurant offers buffet-style breakfast and lunch and the choices are endless. We sampled everything on offer from the array of international dishes, all of which were fabulous - my favourites being the Beef Wellington and the seafood paella, and my husband enjoyed the chicken biryani and roasted veal.

Although some of the beach is currently under construction, we relaxed in the pool and the beach areas that were available to us. We finished off our thoroughly indulgent day with a couple’s massage at Body & Soul Spa, followed by a therapeutic dip in the indoor Aquamedic pool.

Dinner was an intimate affair at La Piscina, nestled amidst the tropical gardens with live music and stunning beach views, where we enjoyed a variety of delicious, freshly prepared, Italian dishes.

Verdict: Loved the room, loved the food, loved the massage! We’ll be back!

Weekend getaway rates start from Dhs 599 per night with 20% off food & beverage, and the spa.

The hotel’s interior is modern and airy and the staff are friendly and accommodating. Our room was lovely - spacious and comfortable with an exceptional sea view.

The resort is a haven of tranquillity. We swam in the crystal clear waters and took a leisurely walk along the 800m private beach, relaxed on the shaded sunbeds, then enjoyed a cocktail at the pool’s swim-up bar.

Tides restaurant hosts breakfast, lunch and themed dinner buffets. Breakfast offers full English, Arabic and Continental dishes; lunch includes a delicious selection of international starters, mains and desserts; and the seafood themed dinner included oysters, mussels, prawns, crab, lobster, and a variety of fish - all fresh and cooked to our specifications.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally that time of the year, the summer and holiday season is here! BBQs and relaxing afternoons by the pool, or lake if you are lucky enough to enjoy cooler summer weather outside the UAE. I am lucky enough to enjoy the weather in Germany at the moment and my days have been filled with sunny afternoons by the pool with my little niece and nephews.

Of course those sweet little monsters are craving ice cream and popsicles nonstop. So instead of giving them sugar laden unhealthy store bought popsicles, I decided to make

my own. As always, they are refined sugar free, dairy free and made from only natural ingredients. I have been trying a few different recipes but today, I am sharing the recipes that were mostly liked, not only by the kids. At my birthday BBQ, all my popsicles were gone in no time and it was the big kids (so called adults) that were asking for more! As always, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear some feedback from you at Stephanie@naturalnutritiondubai.com or on my Instagram@stephanie.pech Have a lovely fun filled summer!

Directions Blend all the above ingredients in a high speed blender until you have a smooth ice-cream like consistency. Should your texture be too icy, simply add a little more rice milk and blend again until it becomes creamier.

Serve in a bowl and optionally decorate with fresh banana slices, chocolate sauce, dark chocolate flakes and fresh cherries. Enjoy immediately. www.connector.ae

Banana Chocolate Nicecream

Serves 2-3 people Ingredients 4 frozen bananas 3 tsp raw unsweetened cacao 1 tsp carob powder 1 cup almond milk Directions Blend all the above ingredients in a high speed blender until you have a smooth ice-cream like consistency.

Serve in a bowl and decorate with dark chocolate flakes, fresh banana slices, almond flakes or simply just chocolate sauce.

Dragon Fruit Sorbet / Ice Cream

Serves 2-3 people Ingredients 2 ripe dragon fruits ½ cup frozen raspberries 2 tbsp rice malt syrup ½ cup almond milk fresh juice of 2-4 limes handful crushed ice Directions Cut the dragon fruit in half and carefully scrape out the flesh. Save the outside as a serving bowl for beautiful eye catching presentation. www.connector.ae

In a high speed blender, blend all the ingredients until you have a smooth icecream like consistency. Should your texture be too thick, simply add a splash more of your almond milk. Blend again until you have your desired consistency.

I served my ice-cream in the empty dragon fruit bowls. Put some fresh mint leafs on top and voila you got yourself a super yummy and healthy summer treat. Enjoy!

Rainbow Ice Lollies

Serves 6 molts (depending on size of molts) Ingredients 1 cup cherries, pitted 1 banana 1 cup mango ½ cup pineapple 2 kiwis, washed with peel on (yes, you can eat the peel too!) handful baby spinach 3-4 fresh mint leaves Directions Red layer - add cherries and ½ banana into a high speed blender and pulse until roughly blended. Then distribute evenly among the ice pop molds. It should roughly be one - two tablespoons in each mold. Put into freezer and allow to freeze for minimum 30 minutes. This is important. If your layers are not hardened enough everything will blend into each other and you wont be able to see the different colors as rainbow layers.

Green layer - add kiwi, mint leafs, baby spinach and the other ½ banana into the blender. Blend until you have a smooth consistency. Before you distribute the green layer, make sure the red layer has hardened.

Then again freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Yellow layer - blend pineapple and mango and divide evenly on top of the other layers. Freeze for at least 1 hour or until completely frozen.

Tip: if you don’t have popsicle forms, simply use silicon ice cube forms.

Lemons: Another natural ingredient you can use is sliced lemons. They are great at absorbing smells and neutralising ordours. To keep the bathroom smelling fresh over time, change the lemon slices once a week.

Vinegar: A cup of white vinegar placed in the shower when it is not in use will help to absorb odours from the shower area. Also, spraying it on the walls and the shower curtain in the bathroom prevent mildew from growing.

Essential oils: Lavender and eucalyptus oils can do wonders in your bathroom, covering up even the strongest odours.

Warm up a few drops in a diffuser and place it in there to refresh the air. Alternatively, you can put some eucalyptus or lavender leaves in a pot or dribble essential oil onto a piece of cotton and place it inside the toilet paper roll and put it somewhere that will remain fairly dry.

Natural air freshener: Combine two cups of water, a tablespoon of white vinegar and a teaspoon of baking soda with 10 drops of an essential oil to make a chemical free air freshener. Leave it in your bathroom and use it as needed.

Baking soda: Placing a small bowl with baking soda in your bathroom will help to absorb smells. You can add an extra touch and decorate the bowl with flowers, but make sure not to cover the powder as it will reduce its effectiveness. To stay fresh, replace the baking

Rubbing alcohol: Mix three parts of water with one part of rubbing alcohol, add in about 10 drops of essential oil and spray where needed. This trick works as an all natural air freshener, to soak up bathroom smells.

Healthy eating and nutrition for your child Nutrition is the foundation for a healthy happy person. It is vital for brain development, growth and repair, cell formation and for all of our organs to function to their potential.

H

ealthy eating where children are concerned can be one of the most common issues that many parents have problems with; sleep is usually number one. I have worked alongside many parents and successfully helped them to encourage and implement a healthy eating lifestyle for their children. Many children are lacking nutrients in their diet, this may result in a weakened immune system, affecting health, lack of concentration, negative behaviour and their overall growth and development.

According to the Department of Health in the UK, statistics show that over 30% of children between the ages of two and 15 years were overweight or obese, and that 16% of all children are overweight or obese. Along with obesity, there are many health problems and risks that include type 2 diabetes (often brought on by poor diet choices), heart disease from high blood pressure, cancer and strokes. This is why it is so crucial to instil a healthy diet for your child from a very early age, explaining the importance of nutrition and to provide them with the knowledge to go on and make healthy food choices.

Poor nutrition can also have a huge influence on behaviour and concentration and additives used in many foods have been linked to suggest this. The only way of monitoring what is in your child’s food is by reading and understand food labels whilst buying more whole natural foods, and avoiding processed and packaged foods. In children with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), these added preservatives and artificial food colourings 48 | JULY Connector

that are found in food products may increase symptoms of the disorder. Children who are not receiving the correct amount of nutrients from food will most likely start to feel lethargic, hungry, frustrated and sickness will occur more frequently.

Nutrients for children are essential in forming and maintaining their immune system, strong bones, muscle function, blood coagulation and brain development. The most important nutrients for children are thought to be, Calcium, Fibre, Vitamin E, Potassium, and Magnesium. Although, a good combination of all the essential vitamins and minerals is important.

So how do we introduce nutrition to our children and make it as important to them as it is for us? I think that it all begins from the weaning age (usually at around five to six months of age). Preparing homemade purees, using plenty of fruit and vegetables that are rich in nutrients and including a variety of foods is important. Always encourage your baby to try as many new flavours as possible and have fun discovering which they prefer.

As they get a little older (from around six to eight months of age) you can experiment with texture and introduce finger foods. I am often asked “how do I make sure my child doesn’t eat the wrong foods?”. Below I have listed a few points that I think are useful in laying the foundations for healthy eating.

Steps for healthy eating • If you do not want them to eat a certain food, do not buy it!

• Try to make as much homemade food as possible. This is not always easy if you are travelling or have more than one child but try to limit processed, tinned and prepackaged food to as little as possible. It feels great to know exactly what they are eating www.connector.ae

because you have prepared it.

• Start the day off well by preparing an energy boosting breakfast such as natural yoghurt with fruit or eggs on toast. These protein rich meals will keep the child fuller for longer, reducing the need to snack.

• Limit snacks to twice a day between meals so they are hungry for their next meal, and offer snacks that are healthy and nutritious and that will provide energy throughout the day. Some examples of these are fruits - fresh and dried, yoghurt, cubed cheese, crackers with peanut butter, rice cakes with cream cheese, hummus and steamed crudités and many more. Snacks to avoid are www.connector.ae

biscuits, crisps, sweets and cakes. These are full of sugar and empty calories that will not provide energy for any length of time.

• Ensure that your child drinks enough water throughout the day, reducing the amount of juice or fizzy drinks, as this only fills them up with sugar, not the nutrients they need.

• Practice what you preach. Children learn from their parent’s actions, so as a family eat and prepare healthy food and allow them to become involved in the planning and preparation of meals.

Josy

&

Leon

Hi, I’m Josy, I’m the better (not) half of “Josy & Leon”. We were both rescued a couple of months ago from Jebal Ali Shooting Club after Maik spotted us there.

Maik is a very lovely man from Germany and he was visiting Dubai on holiday. He was heartbroken to see us sitting outside the restaurant in the heat, begging guests for food. He was particularly worried about me as I looked like I had given up. Well it’s not much of a life, is it? Struggling every day to find food and shelter from the relentless Dubai heat?

To cut a long story short (or shall I say shorter since the story is not over yet), Maik contacted 38smiles and made sure we were rescued and promised us a forever home with him in Germany.

After Leon and I were rescued, we were taken to the vet by 38smiles. Leon is still a young fella and he quickly got the all clear from the vet. He was vaccinated and neutered and then it was just a matter of finding a flight buddy so he could fly to Germany. It didn’t take long and Leon is now happily settled in Germany with Maik and the resident cat.

Life really hasn’t been easy for me. At around 5 years, I’m older and a bit beaten up from having such a hard life just trying to survive. The vet did some blood tests and decided to put me under observation and wait for a few weeks before vaccinating me.

After my buddy Leon left to start his new life in Berlin, I went back to the vet for another blood test and that is when the vet noticed www.connector.ae

my glucose levels were unusually high. I had also lost weight even though I have a very good appetite. A few days later I had another blood test and a urine test and was diagnosed with Diabetes.

At this point, we (38smiles, Maik and myself ) were in shock and were not sure how we were going to deal with this situation.

I’ve been told that in a few days I will have to start daily injections with insulin and I will need to have these for the rest of my life.

Luckily for me, my current foster mum is a doctor, so she is not afraid of needles, but unfortunately, Maik is. He also has to travel a lot for work and that makes it harder because I would need a cat-sitter who is willing and able to inject me too. To complicate things even further, we are not yet sure how I will respond to the insulin and whether it will be safe for me to be vaccinated.

So, sadly, my story is yet to have a happy ending. Looking at everything, it may be safer for me to stay in the UAE.

www.connector.ae

So, I am asking if there is a wonderfully compassionate adoptive parent who will inject me with life-saving insulin every day for the rest of my life. Have you had a diabetic cat before and know how it works?

If not and you are willing to give me a loving home, you don’t need to be worried because giving injections really isn’t hard and the vet will show you how to do it.

If you personally cannot help with a home, can I ask a favour, please? Spread the word and share my story - there is someone out there with a heart of gold who will do what is necessary for me. It’s just a matter of finding them. Another way of helping is by contributing to my vet bill and treatment - contact us at info@38smiles.com or donate directly to 2 Feet 4 Paws (rather embarrassingly, my account is in the name of Josephine because they thought I was a girl!).

Thank you in advance from this beaten up old boy whose magical happy ending is just out of reach… at the moment.

Meet Jamie

I’m Elvis and I’m a hunk of burning love all for you! I was found outside a cafe with my eye closed, but luckily I don’t have any long term damage from my run in with a car.

I lost a tooth though so my lip gets caught sometimes giving me the classic Elvis sneer.

I have the softest coat and the cuddliest personality - I love to hook my paws around a hand when I’m carried. I’m neutered and vaccinated and looking for my forever home.

So don’t be cruel, because I just want to be your teddy bear. Love me tender and I’ll be loving you eternally!

Jamie is approximately 10 months old. He has had a tough start in life and was hurt by a human, which left him with an amputated tail and broken hip. He has fully recovered and amazingly he is still a friendly loving cat. Jamie is shy in the beginning, but who can blame him?

Once you gain his trust, he is a lovely companion. He is great with older children and cat friendly, but can be quite forthright in his attitude to be friends so introductions would need to take time for the sake of a successful existence for both cats. Apart from lacking a tail, Jamie is a very handsome boy with his different eye colours. Take time with this gorgeous boy to earn his trust and he will repay you with love in abundance.

Growth Factors are a group of specialised proteins with many functions, the most important being repair. d e They promote the t s & Te growth, organisation and Tried maintenance of cells and tissues.

AQ Skin Solutions’ topical skin products have been clinically proven to help reverse photo-damaged skin.

They contain a balanced combination of the same growth factors found in young, healthy skin as well as anti-ageing antioxidants that stimulate collagen production. Additionally, they activate the skin’s natural regeneration capabilities and fight free radical damage that causes premature ageing.

I’ve found a wonderful little sanctuary on The Palm overlooking the sea where you can relax and escape while getting your beauty treatments done. The Kalm treatments include manicures/pedicures, facials, waxing, threading, eyelash extensions, hot stone massages, Kalm signature massages, body scrubs, hair services and more.

What’s involved?

I was in need of a break, so Kalm was perfect as it’s close by and easy to park. Before enjoying my Signature Massage, the therapist checked the areas I wanted to focus on and the areas I didn’t and then got to work.

What are the results?

I felt really relaxed afterwards and was able to do nothing else other than head home to chill out, so it was the perfect break.

Kalm Holistic Beauty is located between Shoreline Buildings 7 and 8 on Palm Jumeirah.

What’s involved?

Dr Masha Leikic, Beauty & Anti-Ageing Specialist at Medstar, commenced my treatment by applying an anaesthetic cream to my face for 15 minutes. AQ Active Serum was then applied to my skin and the procedure of micro needling with a stamp began. This minimally-invasive, non-surgical and non-ablative procedure creates controlled skin injury which triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin in the papillary dermis, whilst also allowing the Growth Factor serum to penetrate deep into the skin. The 20-minute procedure was painless and was followed with the application of a cooling collagen face masque.

What are the results?

I was so impressed with the results after my first treatment that I booked an additional three sessions over the course of three months to achieve maximum results. I am amazed at how youthful looking my skin has become. Sun and age spots that had accumulated over the years have diminished, as well as many fine lines and wrinkles.

My skin is clear, firm and glowing. I highly recommend this treatment.

Zoya gives the longest wearing, most natural nail polish available. It is toluene, formaldehyde, DBP and Camphor Free.

I’ve never been one to try slimming treatments, but it seems like no matter how little I eat or how much I work out, some fat just won’t budge.

I headed down to SlimSpa to try their highly recommended combination of non-invasive procedures: Cavitation and Venus B.E.A.M.

What’s Involved?

The session started with the Cavitation machine, which is used on your desired problem area for 30 minutes. The ultrasonic waves of cavitation will induce the rupturing of the cellular membranes of fat cells, which allows it to be pass through the body. The only discomfort I felt was from the noise the machine made, but within five minutes, I had forgotten all about it.

The following 30-minute treatment is based on Bio Electrical Acceleration Management (B.E.A.M.), which induces muscle contractions.

This helps with muscle tightening and lifting with absolutely no down time. The vibrations and gentle contractions made the treatment quite relaxing.

What are the results?

After both sessions, I had lost a total of 5cm from my abdomen! I was advised to drink lots of water throughout the day, which should help with the process of getting rid of remaining ruptured fat cells.

How much?

One session of both treatments is priced at Dhs 1,400. Packages are available for each treatment, with prices starting from Dhs 5,600 for 8 sessions.

Make-up remover hacks From celebrity make-up artist Hannah Lisa www.hannahlisamakeup.com.

W

e all love a good make-up tip, but how about when it comes to make-up removal? Believe it or not, there are a few makeup remover hacks that you can use to not only remove your make-up, but also create beautiful make-up looks! Here are a few of my favourite tips, which I use on a daily basis both on set and in my own beauty routine.

• Create the perfect cat eye by first applying your liquid or gel liner and flicking it out to the side. Then take a cotton bud and dilute it with Neutrogena’s Deep Clean Eye Make-up Remover and sweep underneath the flick to create a sharp, clean line.

64 | JULY Connector

• Did you know that you can use a face wipe to clean your brushes? Neutrogena’s Deep Clean Face Wipes are designed to remove make-up, so why shouldn’t they be used to remove make-up from your brushes quickly and easily. This works especially well for brushes used for lipstick and eyeliner, as regular shampoo does not remove this when washing your brushes the ‘normal’ way. Plus, you can use them again almost straight away.

• Sleek pony tail - This is a really cool little trick.

You know those days when you have not washed your hair and you just want a nice, sleek pony tail? Pull your hair back into a pony, and gently smooth a face wipe over your hair. The www.connector.ae

moisturiser in the wipes will smooth down any fly-aways and give you a smooth, sleek look in seconds! This works especially well after the gym.

• Eye make-up remover can actually be the best thing to use to remove liquid lipsticks! Sometimes they can be extremely difficult to remove due to their staying power, but the tiny bit of oil typically blended in eyemake remover products cuts right through the sticky lipstick formulas and removes long-wearing lipstick instantly, and of course, all kinds of eye make-up!

• When wearing a smoky eye, try doing this first instead of your base. It makes it so much easier to clean up any mess before applying foundation. I always start with eyes first on my clients, especially when creating a heavier eye look. I then grab a face wipe and wipe any shadow fall away and then go ahead and apply the base. A little extra tip - once you’ve applied your base, blend the edges of your shadow once more with a taupe shade. This will create a seamless, extra smoky effect.

A Beginnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Guide to Swimming

By Nada Ramadan

T

here is nothing more satisfying than that rush you get after a good workout. From Zumba classes to Karate, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried them all! However, a little more than 2 months ago, I was experiencing severe pain in my knee and was instructed by my doctor to lay off any exercises that put unnecessary stress on my knees. Not wanting to allow this to side track my fitness regime, I decided to take up swimming as my regular form of exercise. If you have been recently side-lined with a knee or lower-back injury or if you are looking to start swimming on a regular basis, here are a few tips I picked up along the way that could help you become an avid swimmer.

1) Establish a routine As you can imagine, there are a variety of places you can swim besides your local 66 | JULY Connector

pool. There are indoor pools as well that are specifically used for swimming races that are perfect if you are looking to put in your daily laps for the day. However, smaller pools can also get the job done. For an even larger body of water to swim in, try going to one of the many beaches along the UAE shore. Regardless of where you swim, pick one that works best for you and your schedule. Also, take into account the time of day you will be swimming and make sure you prepare accordingly.

2) Suit up It seems like swimwear is getting more adventurous and intricately-made day by day.

If you are looking to swim on a regular basis, it may be time to invest in a one-piece swimsuit, which provides optimal comfort as opposed to constantly having to readjust your two-piece.

You can get away with many things while www.connector.ae

swimming but not having a good pair of goggles isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t one of them. Also because of the chlorine, consider buying a swimming cap. Not only will it protect your hair, but it will also help keep from getting in an untangleable mess. Last but not least, I found this to be the most helpful: a nose piece. I hate having water rush up my nose so a nose piece really helps with that.

3) Fuel up Like with any other form of exercise, making sure you eat right before and after swimming are pivotal when trying to get the most out of your time in the water. Avoid eating too much before your workout or eating foods that are too difficult for your stomach to digest. Eat small and easily digestible snacks during your swimming breaks including apples, bananas, and raisins. This builds stored fats in the liver that can quickly be used by the body as power sources during exertion.

You would assume that because you are in the water, you would not need to drink any water.

Swimming is just like any other exercise, so make sure you stay hydrated. Also, be prepared to feel ravenous after your swim, so keep things in check and have a healthy well-balanced meal afterwards filled with complex carbohydrates and lean proteins.

www.connector.ae

4) Stretch it out Although physically beneficial for those with knee and back problems, swimming can put quite the strain on other parts of your body like your arms and legs. This is why you may recall having had at least a handful of muscle cramps while swimming in the past. Stretching it out, before and after your swim, are pivotal to avoid damaging your muscles and to keep your limbs loose. An extra 10 minutes of stretching can mean the differences between being physically capable of swimming the next day or taking a few days off because of stiff muscles.

5) Set a goal There is nothing more motivating while working out than working towards a goal you have set for yourself. Whether you are trying to lose a few kilos or whether you are training for a swimming race, goals are amazing extrinsic motivators. Be sure you create a realistic schedule to achieve your goal. Set four 30-minute swimming sessions a week to begin with and slowly work your way up to 45-minutes and then eventually 1 hour. Remember, work at your own pace.

DNA Health Center for Integrative Medicine, Wellness & Bio-aesthetics Those of you who know me know that I find the field of preventative medicine fascinating and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big believer in it. I respect the idea that we can look after our health by looking after our gut, not just with what we eat, but the way we eat. As soon as I heard about predictive medicine - which uses our DNA to predict the probability of disease, allowing us to make changes to either prevent the disease altogether or significantly decrease its impact, I simply had to find out more.

DNA is the new global flagship integrative medicine and wellness centre at Al Qasr Hotel, Madinat Jumeirah. It has been established with the philosophy to transform the current health paradigm from solely treating an illness to an integrative model of preventive care, wellness and healthy ageing. Their personalised lifestyle medicine programmes are based on a holistic approach and bring together leading-edge Western medicine, advanced diagnostics and clinical therapies, complemented by centuries-old Eastern healing traditions and philosophies.

With DNA, you can explore your DNA profile and personal genetic blueprint to understand your potential health risks which allows you to create your individual wellness 68 | JULY Connector

plan. US-trained and US-certified professional medical, naturopathic, chiropractic and bioaesthetics specialists work holistically as a team to provide an environment of unparalleled care and personalised treatment. Their aim is to empower us to take responsibility for managing our own illness, in partnership with the practitioners, who serve as guides to assist in the journey towards healing.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved?

I was there for the day, excited to discover as much as I could about myself and my health. First, my height and weight were taken followed by a Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) and a blood test for food sensitivity and intolerance. In the consultation with Dr www.connector.ae

Nasim Ashraf, the Chief Medical Officer, and Dr Tina Krombach, Naturopathic and Homeopathic Medicine Practitioner, we discussed my lifestyle, my weight and goals, sleep patterns, stress levels and food.

Though the results of the blood test would take 2 weeks, we went over my eating habits and small changes that would start making a difference, and the amount of water I consumed - not enough! With more than 70% of our immune system residing in the gastrointestinal tract and an increasing array of medical research confirming that most diseases - including heart attacks - start as inflammation in the gut, DNA explores, analyses and prioritises nutrition.

Then it was off to try out the bio-aesthetics.

Having heard about Nurse Jamie Sherrill, Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s premier bio-aesthetician, I just had to try the DNA Express Hollywood Beauty Package which included the Clear Lift Laser (non-surgical face lift), AFT Photo-facial Laser (skin brightening, redness reduction, luminous glow) and NIR (skin tightening and wrinkle reduction) combined with Oxygen Mist Therapy. It was all done in 45 minutes with 3 different lasers which Maliha talked me through to allay any fears.

No pain or downtime and Hollywood results!

After a delicious, healthy lunch, I was off to Talise Fitness for my personal fitness evaluation and coaching session which involved looking at my current training, my body composition and what I wanted to achieve. It was then off to the Spa for the final, most relaxing, part of the day - the Alphasphere room. Focusing on the senses, it creates a whole body and mind experience with sound, colour, light, vibration, touch, temperature and smell. It reduces stress, reenergises, enhances creativity and heightens perception - I cannot think of a more relaxing start to a massage. I was fast asleep in minutes and felt so relaxed when I woke up! The massage was equally relaxing and the bed so comfy, I was off again.

find out more about what to aim for with my weight, my fitness levels, foods that were safe and foods to consider limiting as they do not suit my body, stressors in my life from past and present that may be affecting my health, and more importantly my sleep. Adapting these changes in my life was made simple by talking them through with the doctors and I now feel I have a clear direction and something achievable to aim for.

The facial was absolutely fantastic and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m delighted with the results - my skin looks fab, so bright and hydrated. People were still commenting on my skin weeks later.

How much?

Individual and corporate packages available.

Package prices start from Dhs 3,800; with special Ramadan prices available until 31st July. The Express Hollywood Beauty Facial is priced at Dhs 5,500. At Talise Spa the Alphasphere room is Dhs 250 and therapeutic massage Dhs 499; the fitness evaluation at Talise Fitness Dhs 330 and the healthy lunch with Talise Nutrition Dhs 100.

DNA Health Center is located at Talise Spa, Jumeirah Al Qasr, Madinat Jumeirah. Call 056-9117781, email info@dnahealthcorp.com or visit www.dnahealthcorp.com. -L. C.

Your health in Ramadan

MOH Approval #: MC40580

Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan can improve your health; however, if the correct diet is not followed, you could acquire some ailments related to your digestive health.

Common G.I. symptoms that are frequently encountered during the season are indigestion, bloating, heartburn and constipation. Symptoms are particularly increased after eating too much at Iftar or Suhoor meals.

The incidence of Acute Gastritis, Gerd, Duodenitis and Peptic Ulcers are increased during prolonged fasting. As complications of Peptic Ulcers are frequently encountered, people with this condition are advised to continue medication during this season.

In addition, people with pre-existing chronic liver diseases, IBD with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis, or Small Bowel Volvulus are advised against prolonged fasting.

A diet that has less than a normal amount of food, but is sufficiently balanced will keep a person healthy and active. Complex carbohydrates such as whole grains nuts and pulses are preferred over refined sugars. Fatty spicy foods and deep fried foods should be taken in moderation to avoid Gastritis and Reflux Esophagitis. Additionally, maintaining adequate hydration with liberal usage of fruits and vegetables and light exercise will help keep bowel movements regular.

The ageing game Like your face and body, your hands also undergo the process of ageing. After your face, your hands are the next place to reveal your age.

However, the face is privileged and gets the gold star treatment - day creams, night creams, sunblocks, luxury facials, fillers, Botox, etc. The hand however is often ignored even though a few of us use a special hand cream or use gloves while doing the dishes. But is that enough?

Ageing in the hands occurs at multiple levels, the earliest sign being lack of moisture and appearance of fine lines. The skin wrinkles and some lines are converted into deep creases particularly on the joints of the fingers. Loss of fat and tissue makes the skin thinner, to the extent that it appears skeletonised.

Physiologically, women are more affected by this process, as they hate the appearance of prominent veins on their hands. Plus, hollowness in the hand is not aesthetically pleasing, so it all adds up to the level of concern. Even men are beginning to get bothered by it, as more men today are interested in taking care on how they look and how their appearance makes an impact.

Today, medical science has advanced enough and is giving us the opportunity to take care of our body and beyond. Structural fat grafting is an advanced technique to rejuvenate the hand at multiple levels.

With fat grafting, you can transfer fat from an abundant area to a poor area. Through Liposuction, fat is extracted from areas where there is excess fat, such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs etc. and then transferred to the area that is in need of fat.

Specialised cannulas are used to collect fat of different textures. After harvesting the fat, it is categorised into Macro fat, Micro fat and Nano fat. Macro fat is enriched with adipose tissue and stromal vascular factors that are injected into deeper planes of the hand. This gives volume and fills out spaces in between the bones of the hand. This type of fat is www.connector.ae

easily accepted by the underlying musculature of the hands.

Microfat is smaller particles of fat that are injected into a superficial plane under the skin.

This helps to increase thickness of the skin and reduces wrinkles. It also helps produce neocollagen tissue to support the ageing skin. This fat can be carefully placed over the superficial veins, so they look less prominent.

It requires great expertise and experience to prevent complications.

Nanofat is specially prepared fat cells.

These are emulsified adipose cells that carry specialised stem cells of the fat called Adipose derived stem cells. Platelet Rich Plasma can be added to these fat grafts to encourage collagenisation. Nano fat cells are injected very superficially in the skin of the dorsum of the hand. This improves the texture and fine lines of the hand.

Fat grafting is indeed the future of rejuvenation and augmentation. It is being used to expand/increase volume in desired areas and is also used to mould new contours, such as abs, biceps, chest etc. The advantage is not just natural; the approach also means no scars, no cuts, natural cleavages and butts and early recovery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a minimal invasive procedure and is as natural as it can get.
