note

o say there’s loads going on this month would probably be an understatement, it would seem the change in temperature has brought with it Dubai’s exciting event scene! From concerts, shows, operas, art exhibitions, fitness events and foodie events it is quite literally all happening this month so check it out on our Dates for your Diary pages. Speaking of opera this month, I had coffee with Christine Belbelian, founder of the Emirates Opera Project, currently the only opera group in the country. The group is made up of a collective of voices from around the world, you can see them in the upcoming Opera Delights in December. I was really interested to read our article on ‘What your face is telling you’. In the battle against bags, wrinkles and acne it’s amazing how what you put in your body can actually show on your face, and gives a whole new importance to understanding our digestive health. There’s plenty of the usual articles this month, so put your feet up and enjoy. And don’t forget to enter our great competitions on www.connector.ae. Remember, you have to be in it to win it! This month I’m loving Starskin’s Silkmud Face Sheet Masks, Dr Rita Rakus’s Sun Tinted Sun Protection and this fab coat from Jigsaw!

e s i u o L o t Letters I love Connector because it is a bundle of information bound in booklet form that is so useful in your day to day life. Most of the information contained in this booklet is very powerful and most importantly it comes to your palm as free. I have been actively reading this magazine for over 20 years and can’t wait to find it in my gym shelf every beginning of the month. I always believe Connector connects many people across Dubai and UAE. Regards, Richard D Souza

Congrats!!!! I had no idea that Connector was 25 years old until I saw this month’s issue - 25 years is a long time in Dubai! Happy anniversary and here’s to the next 25! From the Ward Family.

Wow! Some amazing prizes in the October issue. I’ve entered every competition online and hope to win something as I’m an avid reader of your lovely magazine. Fingers crossed that this is the month! From Ruby

I just picked up the October issue of Connector and wanted to congratulate the team on Connector’s 25th birthday. I’ve been reading Connector since I arrived in Dubai many years ago and picked up my first copy at my son’s school. It’s been a valuable source of information and I remember finding the family doctor and dentist from it. Just wanted to say happy birthday and please continue to keep us all connected. Thanks and best regards – Maureen.

Loved the article online about adopting a cat, and how much easier it is to adopt two together. This is exactly what we did just over a year ago and it’s been amazing. Before I had one cat and used to feel quite guilty about being at work all day. Now we have two gorgeous young kitties that play together constantly and are always cuddled up when they sleep. Two really is much easier than one. From Gail 14 | NOVEMBER Connector

A coffee withâ&#x20AC;Ś

Christine Belbelian founding member of The Emirates Opera Project

What brought you to Dubai?

I grew up in Jordan and my parents moved to Dubai when I was a teenager. I always had a natural aptitude for classical music - first piano, then singing, so I studied in various music conservatoires in Eastern Europe for many years, but eventually came back to Dubai as it always felt like home. I am now settled here with my very wonderful husband and two beautiful children.

Describe a typical day

Well being a mother means I have the usual chores of dropping off and picking up children from school and organising our family, dealing with typical parental duties. During the day I also have many private students who come for piano or singing lessons. I spend a lot of my time organising events, planning musical programmes, following up admin and organisational issues 16 | NOVEMBER Connector

with other musicians and rehearsing. On days that I perform, I spend a lot of time warming up my voice and try to have as little stress as possible throughout the day so that I am calm and composed by the time I get on stage.

What is the best thing about your job? The best thing about my job is that I get to do what I love, which is singing and performing. Music and singing have always been my passions and I am lucky as not many people have the chance to work in the field that they love. Many musicians end up having to work in different areas as it is hard to make a living from music. I also went through a time when I had to work in an office as a marketing and events manager to make ends meet, but this turned out to be useful in developing skills that are I now use for organising our concerts. Part of the reward is

www.connector.ae

also being able to bring classical music to a new audience and to spread the love of Opera, and that is perhaps something that there is more scope to do here as there has not, until recently, been an opera scene here in the culture of Dubai.

What is the worst thing about your job?

The worst thing is that as Opera is not such an established art form in this region, there is little funding and support for what we do. So while I would like to spend all my time singing, arranging concerts, planning musical programmes, etc, I end up spending a great deal of my time trying to gather support for what we do, which inevitably means seeking commercial sponsors or securing corporate gigs. We would like to see more support for the art. We hope, now that Dubai Opera has opened, that more awareness and interest in Opera will be generated, and a grass roots movement like ours, the Emirates Opera Project, will be more appreciated and will be able to work on obscure and culturally interesting projects.

What was a standout moment in your career?

There have been several amazing experiences but the one that stands out the most is the Verdi Bicentennial concert in 2013 which took place on the actual date of the 200th Anniversary of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth, on the 13th of October 2013 (Verdi was born on the same date in 1813). Giuseppe Verdi is the world’s most accomplished and loved composer of Operas, and his bicentennial was celebrated all over the world. The concert was organised by Montegrappa, the Italian pen company who had launched a Giuseppe Verdi pen for the occasion, and was supported by Rivoli as well as Dubai Culture, the Italian Consulate in Dubai as well as the Verdi foundation in Italy as part of their ‘Verdi 200’ celebrations. The concert was attended by many VIPs including a direct descendant of Giuseppe Verdi who was in Dubai for the occasion. Most notably, the entire orchestra, the conductor, and all the soloists, were Dubai or UAE residents, which was a first time that an Opera event on such a scale had been done in the UAE without www.connector.ae

any international production or performers and this event gave birth to the Emirates Opera Project. It was a true honour to be part of this incredible occasion.

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

Being a classical musician can be a challenging profession and is most often not very financially rewarding. Classical music worldwide is increasingly dependent on government support and corporate sponsors as interest in the art, especially as you move away from the mainstream, is declining. Opera singers take years to perfect their voices. Orchestras are expensive and the cost of supporting an Orchestra in the current economic climate is becoming more difficult to justify. I really hope that some young people will fall in love with classical music, as I did, and want to join the fight to keep this art alive. However, it is often a passion and a calling and can be very fulfilling and rewarding to the spirit. There is nothing like standing on stage knowing you’ve just moved the audience and hearing them clap and cheer with genuine thanks and praise. It is also fun singing in fancy Opera Houses, wearing fabulous ball gowns, receiving bouquets of flowers and signing autographs. Most importantly, it is a beautiful art and we have a great responsibility to keep this art form alive for generations to come. Classical music is the foundation of all modern music and a good foundation in classical music will equip a young musician with the skills to pursue any musical career.

Your motto?

There is so much trouble in the world these days, but one thing that brings people together is the love of music. It is a powerful, peaceful and uniting force. So I guess my motto is, “The world needs more music, so that we can live, sing and dance together to one rhythm”. Christine and members of the Emirates Opera Project will be performing at Opera Delights at The Act Dubai in December. Visit www.emiratesopera.com. Connector NOVEMBER | 17

FREE TIME WELL SPENT

By Annie Haresign

ust a short drive from the city, Al Marmoom Initiative, a non-profit organisation located on Al Qudra Road, provides recreational and vocational therapy to local special-needs children and adults. The inspiration behind the now fully functioning centre comes from the desire to allow other adults and children to experience the untold benefits of horse therapy. This is no ordinary therapy center. The compact site, nestled between two Royal Endurance yards, has outdoor sand arenas and greenhouses, as the teachers are also riding instructors, farmers and gardeners. At Al Marmoom, students can develop their skills and learn all about horse care, how to handle horses and horse riding. Lisa Kingsley, the centre’s director, is not alone on the quest to provide alternative therapy and activities for Dubai’s less abled residents. Along with the small staff, there are 28 | NOVEMBER Connector

more than 100 volunteers who have donated their time to help the students make the most of their visits. As a way of giving back, the centre has developed a ‘pay-back’ scheme, where volunteers can receive vouchers for horse-related courses. The Al Marmoom Initiative is determined to expand its success by offering its therapies to more students in the future. Currently five special schools, including more than 90 students are offered therapy sessions at Al Marmoom. With more horses due to arrive shortly and with the Greenhouse Project developing quickly, more students will be able to participate in what can only be described as ‘life changing’ opportunities at the center. All the sessions are free of charge for the students, but the facility does rely on additional support from individuals and corporate organisations.

NATURAL NUTRITION with Stephanie Pech

A few months ago I started experimenting more with international recipes but trying to make them a little healthier and less carb heavy. Here are 3 of my favourite healthier versions. I hope you enjoy them! Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, garlic, and ginger; sauté for 1 minute. Stir in curry paste; sauté for 30 seconds. Add carrots, chicken stock, and coconut milk, stirring well to combine; bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Fold in kale; sprinkle with salt. Cook for 3 minutes or until kale is wilted and tender. Add the shrimps; cook for 3 minutes or until shrimps are done. Remove from heat; top with cilantro, lime rind, and juice. Serve over rice noodles.

½ teaspoon ground ginger ¼ teaspoon salt 3 cups unsalted vegetable stock ¾ cup light coconut milk 1 tablespoon lime juice 2 tablespoons cilantro Lime wedges Directions: Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and allow to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pumpkin, apples, curry paste, ginger, and salt and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 25 minutes or until pumpkin and apples are tender. Place half of pumpkin mixture in a high speed blender such as Vitamix and blend until smooth.

Pad Thai

Ingredients Sauce 1 tbsp fish sauce 1 tbsp tamarind paste 1 tbsp palm sugar Pad Thai 4 tbsp coconut oil 2 shallots 4 pickled mustard stem 1 bunch chives ½ cup dried shrimp 12 large fresh shrimp 2 packages of wet shirataki noodles (avail in Holland & Barrett) 2 eggs 2 heaping cups mung bean sprouts ½ cup chopped cashews Garnish Chives Cashews Red pepper flakes Fresh limes Mung bean sprouts www.connector.ae

Directions: Soak the dried shrimp in warm water until they begin to soften, then finely dice. Mix the fish oil, tamarind paste and coconut sugar. Set aside. Drain the noodles, set aside. Thinly slice the shallots, dice the pickled mustard stem, and chop chives. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil and add the sliced shallots. Cook the shallots over high heat (make sure you keep stirring) until they begin to lose their colour but don’t burn - only a minute or so if the skillet is hot enough. Add the chopped mustard stem and diced shrimp. Stir for one minute, letting the flavours mix, then add the drained noodles. Stir and mix all your ingredients well, then push to one side to make room for the eggs. Crack the eggs on one side of the skillet, and scramble briefly before working into the rest of the skillet’s ingredients. Turn of the heat under the skillet, and add the chopped cashews, bean sprouts and chopped chives. Mix thoroughly, letting the remaining heat wilt the vegetables. Serve on a large plate and sprinkle with chives, red pepper flakes, limes, cashews and bean sprouts. Stephanie is a Holistic Nutrition and Metabolic Balance Coach.

INTERIOR DECORATING STYLE Discovering your

If you enjoy decorating your home as much as I do, but are uncertain of what style really expresses you, I have described some of my favourite decorating styles to share with you. I believe that you can definitely mix and match different styles to create your individual style. It is however, always good to know the basic or core decorating style you wish to have, in order to start with a good solid guideline. So let’s take a look at the different styles… Contemporary Technically contemporary interior style is whatever is currently trending “now”. This means whatever colours, styles, shapes and materials are popular at the current time, it’s contemporary. Keeping things simple is the key here and don’t 44 | NOVEMBER Connector

forget less is more. Contemporary homes are generally open planned, sleek and sophisticated and kept very clean. Straight lines are the key to creating this style, however the use of big round or geometric shapes is also used to create contrast. Finishes such as chrome, steel and glass compliment the neutral and monochromatic colour schemes that dominate this style. Modern minimal If you are into clean line designs and not too much detail, then you probably are the minimal modern kind. Modern décor has very little use of accessories and decorations around the home. The layout of furniture is usually very balanced and asymmetrical. There is very minimal use of different textures and the colours used tend to be natural and neutrals. Furniture used in the modern home is typically simple and functional. www.connector.ae

Scandinavian White walls, clean line furniture and black and white wall art are the main essentials in creating the Scandinavian dĂŠcor style in your home. Layers are important to create warmth and interest. Think of using cowhides, throws, cushions and sheepskins to create the Scandi look and feel. Textures are a must! Use shelves to rest black and white artwork in different sizes against the wall. The use of geometric shapes and accent furniture is another staple in creating this look. Use copper pendant lighting, marble candleholders, grid print bedding and indoor plants such as a cactus. Industrial urban / rustic Creating the rustic, industrial interior style starts with an open floor plan, a lot of textures and unfinished or raw materials. Finishes such as wood, stone, concrete and metal are used to achieve this look. Another element to this style is to expose certain basic structural materials such as wiring, pipes, brick walls and beams. Use unique non-functional re purposed items as decorating features within the home to create those final touches.

Traditional classic The traditional home style is always full of detail, comfort, cosiness and grand furniture pieces. This includes lots of furniture with big rolled sofa arms, tufting and curved legs on tables. Floral and natural patterns will mimic the same shapes as the furniture and are commonly used. Decorative items such as vases or table lamps are usually placed in matching pairs. The colour pallet for the traditional home is very low-key and gentle and will usually include dark wooden floors. Eclectic Eclectic decorating suggests in mixing different styles from different time periods and trends together. A bit of this and a bit of that and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on your way! Moroccan and Bohemian styles are sometimes combined under the eclectic dĂŠcor style; this is probably because of the use of colourful accessories, collectibles and travel souvenirs. The key to create the eclectic style is not to look for things that match together, but things that go together. All items within the room must have something in common. Whether it is the colour, print, finish, shape or size. This style decorated carefully and with intent can look unique and amazing. It can also feel very chaotic and cluttered if thrown together unplanned. Style carefully! With thanks to Lydia van Hassan, Interior Decorator & Space Planner.

GOOD homework habits School is back in and by now, your children should be getting into the routine of school life and homework. Homework is not only an opportunity for your child to revise and learn, it is also a chance for you to become involved in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning and education. Here are ways to help your youngsters become more organised and minimise homework stress. 50 | NOVEMBER Connector

www.connector.ae

Some children are famished and need to eat something first. Determine a time slot that works for your child and stick to it. Keep track of assignments - Most teachers send home an assignment list, but if your child’s teacher does not, make your own calendar and ask the teacher to fill in assignments and due dates. Keep a homework folder and make sure all papers are in the right place each night. Study space - Provide a comfortable chair and a desk, one that is high enough for your child to write at comfortably with ample lighting. Have a selection of school supplies handy including rulers, whiteout, glue and a variety of pens, crayons and felt-tipped pens. Give praise - Look over your child’s homework and give him positive feedback about all the things he is doing right. If you do find errors, do not be harsh in your criticism. Instead, review the work together and try to pinpoint the area of difficulty. Use direct praise for doing the homework and even more so, for accomplishment, “You spelled 17 out of 20 words correctly. That’s a personal best for you! Well done!”

Talk to the teacher - Ask your child’s teacher about homework policy. How much time should your child spend on it per night? First graders for instance are rarely expected to work more than 20 or 30 minutes a night. Ask the teacher how he or she uses homework. Is its purpose to prepare for upcoming lessons or tests, to support work in class or to test a child’s ability levels? The answers will decide how much you should help with the work. Set up a schedule - Some children work well right after school, before they lose focus. Others are restless and need to work off some energy before they can sit and concentrate. www.connector.ae

Turn off distractions - Give your child enough quiet time to finish the assignment. Your child may perform best if everyone in the family also reads or writes during homework time. Turn off the radio, television and any other distractions such as others talking loudly on the phone. Study groups - Study groups are often a good strategy. Your child may benefit from studying with one or two classmates. However, make sure they are using the time to study. Time after time, research shows that when parents become involved in their children’s schoolwork, the children do better in school. One way you can get involved is by helping your child with homework. It will benefit both your child’s education and self-esteem. Connector NOVEMBER | 51

ASK the expert: My child is struggling in Math and I don’t know how to help him?

Do not worry, your child is one of many children who find math challenging. The good news is that he does not have to struggle and neither do you. Children usually find math intimidating because they do not understand a core concept and teachers move on to other concepts before they grasp it. You must understand where your child stands with respect to grade-level material. If you are not aware of where he is and what it is that he struggles with you will not be able to help him. Proper assessment is key in defining the problem and is the first step in helping him. Talk to his teacher; understand exactly what the problem is and what he needs to work on. The teacher should be able to pin point his weakness and strengths. Once you know what his weaknesses and strengths are, plan on tackling the problem. Draw up a daily plan that covers the points that need working on. You may implement this plan by dedicating time and effort every day. Remember children must work on math even if it is as little as 10 minutes a day after school. You may find that you are unable to dedicate the time and effort and may also seek professional help. Whatever you do remember to stay positive about Math and do something about it! With thanks to Mathnasium UAE.

Your pet ANIMAL magic

TURTLE The Red Eared Slider is the world’s, and indeed Dubai’s, most popular pet turtle. Dubai clinics see a minimum of two to three of these turtles per week, frequently purchased at local pet shops and markets for as little as Dhs 20 as companions for children or busy professionals who lack the resources for a more expensive or time consuming pet. Naturally very cute as babies, they are often bought impulsively. They are inexpensive and are often assumed to be ‘low maintenance’. Sadly, Dr Joanna at 2 Feet 4 Paws highlights the myths surrounding these animals; stating “not only can these turtles grow up to 25cm, but their habitats actually need a lot of care, which can not only be time consuming, but costly. Just because you are able to pick up a turtle for Dhs 20, this doesn’t mean that this is the true cost. Turtles need close monitoring of their environments and nutrition or they will be lucky to survive a year”. Whilst these turtles have been known to live up to 70 years in the wild, the vast majority in captivity fall victim to malnutrition and poor habitats long before they reach one year. Nearly all cases seen at 2 Feet 4 Paws support the above statement with avoidable illnesses caused by poor nutrition and inappropriate housing. The clinic has developed Terrapin care handouts to help educate the public, however, by the time they 54 | NOVEMBER Connector

see them it’s often too late to save them. In many cases, inappropriate conditions at vendors can mean the Terrapins are critically ill before they even reach the owners homes. Dr Joanna advises people to remember “sliders need both a warm, dry area with basking lamp and a large pool of warm water. The water must be kept clean; rotting bits of food mixed with faeces will combine to make an unhealthy habitat and a sick turtle. Turtles are messy eaters and defecate in their water, so cleaning will be an almost daily routine and it is beneficial to consider an alternative tank for feeding. Keep in mind that if your turtle is not yet full grown (they grow as large as a dinner plate), you need to provide room in the tank (water and land) for him, to allow for future growth”. Dr Joanna also highlights that Terrapins are cold blooded creatures and as such need strict temperature controls. “Terrapin owners should always buy an aquarium thermometer and monitor the temperature regularly in any enclosure, keeping it between 75°-86°F”. With thanks to 2 Feet 4 Paws, call 04-5520213 or visit www.2feet4paws.ae. Internal or external water filter - feed Terrapin in separate small tank or bucket to reduce mess. Rest areas in cool and warm end of tank. Basking lamp UVA and UVB emitting daytime only.

Trish is quite happy as an only cat, she likes to watch the world go by through the window, cuddle in bed and receive all the attention possible!

I’m not very big still, but I’ve got a huge personality. I’m called Cleo after Cleopatra because I have the most amazing eye markings. I play fetch and I’m excellent at football too! I’m neutered and vaccinated and just waiting for you to treat me like the Egyptian princess I know I really am! 56 | NOVEMBER Connector

She would be best suited in a quiet home that can offer her safety and her own space. Kids are not something that Lulu is familiar with and most likely are not something she will like. Lulu is good with other cats as long as they are not dominant.

Meet Angel Angel is an adorable young cat. He loves attention and will make sure to remind you he is around; a stroke, a cuddle or a little kiss and he’s happy! Angel is quite playful and gets along well with other cats. However, he needs to be introduced slowly to the resident cat/cats, as he takes time to trust and get over his fear and not be afraid of them. Angel is easy going and will make the perfect addition to any family. www.connector.ae

Jamie is approximately 10 months old. He has had a rough start in life and was hurt by a human, Meet Jamie 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.

The magic of colour correction By Nada Ramadan

I have never been one to delve too deeply into the latest beauty trends, but one thing I have embraced wholeheartedly is make-up colour correction. No matter how much concealer I would use to cover up my dark circles, it would always leave a grey tinge in its place, doing little in the way of “concealing”. Colour correction is the perfect solution for those of us with pigmented patches or red blotches on our face. A correction palette comes in an array of colours that are used to cancel out the different tones on your skin, creating a colour-balanced canvas for your foundation and concealer. This may add an extra step to your make-up routine and will have you looking like a clownin-training but once you apply your foundation and concealer, you will be wondering why you weren’t doing this sooner.

60 | NOVEMBER Connector

www.connector.ae

Here are three basic colours you will find on a correction palette and when you should use them. 1) Green This colour neutralises red, which means it can be used to reduce the appearance of red patches on the skin. This can also be on red acne spots. Follow this with a pigmented foundation and concealer and you should be good to go! Lighter skin tones will benefit the most when using this colour. 2) Orange This is the colour I use to hide my dark circles. However, this can also be used to counteract the appearance of other pigmented blemishes and discoloration on the skin. Be prepared to play around with how much you will need of this particular colour. Do not layer it on, expecting that the more orange you put, the more seamless your skin will look. 3) Lavender For fairer and paler-skinned individuals, having skin that looks a little swallow, dull and bland may be a common occurrence. For that facial pick-me-up, use lavender correction to brighten up your skin.

Cup Kiss full body massage @ Tips & Toes Originally used to treat royals and superiors, Chinese cupping therapy is an ancient form of medicine which dates back thousands of years. It has an abundance of health and slimming benefits, including helping to ease pain and inflammation, encouraging blood flow and boosting relaxation. But whilst that all sounds wonderful, I’ve seen enough images of black and blue celebs to put me off! So if you’re like me and fancy the benefits without the bruising then try the Cup Kiss full body massage!

What’s involved?

The 90-minute treatment starts with a typical massage then after the therapist has warmed your muscles she uses silicon vacuum cups. The cups create suction on your skin which drains the excess fluids and toxins, the continuous movement of the cups is what avoids the bruising.

What are the results?

I was nervous at first and though some spots were a little uncomfortable it didn’t hurt. At the same time as being relaxing this treatment can also help to reduce cellulite, promote weight loss and detoxification by removing toxins and impurities. Afterwards I felt totally relaxed, less bloated and less achy. Definitely will be doing this again!

How much?

Throughout November, you can enjoy the Cup Kiss massage for Dhs 275 (usually Dhs 320), or as a 5 to 15-minute add-on to your favourite treatment from just Dhs 45. To find your nearest branch, or further information log on to www.tipsandtoes.com or call 04-3990550. -L. C. www.connector.ae

Wine Face

What’s your face telling you?

ffecting much more than your weight and health, a growing understanding of how what you put into your body shows on your face, is expanding the importance of digestive health. In the battle against bags, wrinkles and adult acne, Health and Fitness Travel, the leading experts in tailor-made healthy holidays worldwide, takes a look at the premature ageing effects of sugar, wine, dairy and gluten, and where to make diet changes at nutrition-friendly retreats around the world. Through a method called ‘skin mapping’ naturopathic experts reveal which type of ‘face’ or ‘faces’ a person has, known as; Sugar Face, Wine Face, Dairy Face and Gluten Face. Taking a different approach to explaining how your diet plays a major role in the ageing process, this is an ancient idea which suggests that parts of the face are linked to particular organs in the body. The redness, puffiness, dark shading, sagging, lines or spots on certain parts of the face can reveal a lot about a person’s diet, and so naturopathic experts use this information to suggest the necessary supplements and diet changes to promote healthy ageing. 64 | NOVEMBER Connector

Wine Face indicates a high or excess intake of alcohol, which can be seen by a number of different symptoms. As alcohol is high in sugar, the protein collagen (which is vital for skin elasticity) is damaged, enlarging pores and causing eyelids to become droopy. Alcohol also dehydrates the skin, causing increases in the deepness of the nasolabial lines, which run from the nose to the mouth. Face-mapping suggests that the area between the eyes is associated with the liver and redness or deep lines between the brows are a sign of the liver struggling to process alcohol. Other symptoms of Wine Face include a red nose and ruddy cheeks, which are a result of inaction of the enzyme used to fight the skin-destroying, inflammatory process caused by alcohol. By cutting your alcohol intake you will soon see an improvement in the texture and colour of your skin.

Gluten Face

Although fewer people suffer from coeliac disease, many people are sensitive to gluten, some of whom are not even aware. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, which can cause an inflammatory response, leaving the face looking swollen, bloated or inflamed. Other symptoms of www.connector.ae

Gluten Face include dark pigmentation patches and spots around the chin caused by a disturbance in cell production of pigmentation in the skin and a disrupted balance of reproductive hormones due to the inflammatory response. Many people that have tried to overcome these symptoms with a variety of different treatments have surprisingly found that the only way to improve their skin is through removing gluten from their diet.

Dairy Face

As we all know, most dairy products contain lactose, which can’t always be easily digested. Lactose intolerance is one of the most common food intolerances, as many people lose the enzymes to digest lactose effectively later in life. Although some people have very obvious bodily symptoms of their intolerance, many people’s intolerance to lactose may go unnoticed. However, with the help of face-mapping, symptoms can be revealed. Symptoms of the dairy-face, such as puffy eyelids, under-eye bags and dark circles on your face, are caused by an inflammatory process indicating intolerances or digestive issues of dairy products. Dairy products also contain a large amount of hormones which can disrupt the balance of sex hormones, triggering an overgrowth in skin cells blocking pores and trapping bacteria as a result.

Sugar Face

Symptoms of a high-sugar diet, also known as Sugar Face include blotches and horizontal lines on the forehead, which also indicate digestive issues. This occurs as sugar in the blood can damage proteins, including collagen and elastin, which keep the skin firm and supple, therefore resulting in increased wrinkling on the forehead and sagging under the eyes. Other symptoms of too much sugar include pustular spots over the face, caused by sugar creating an imbalance of bacteria in the gut, and a gaunt look to the face caused by excess sugar affecting fat distribution. A pasty white face is often due to increased levels of insulin which instructs the body to divert energy to more essential tasks, causing blood vessels around the face to constrict, washing out the skin as a result.

Fertility facts for your

20s, 30s and 40s 20s Dr Bohaira El Geyoushi, fertility expert and brand spokesperson for Clearblue, talks about the things you need to know to maximise the chances of getting pregnant, depending on your age.

hilst it is true that more couples are choosing to have a family later in life and assisted reproduction techniques are helping people delay the decision, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying that age will always play an important role. Women are born with a limited number of eggs. By the time a woman reaches her 30th birthday she has an egg reserve of around 72,000 and this gradually decreases to less than 1,000 at the menopause. As we age it is not only the quantity of eggs that can present challenges, but also the quality, making it harder for the sperm to fertilise the eggs and increasing the risk of abnormalities. 66 | NOVEMBER Connector

20s is the ideal time to get pregnant when fertility is at its peak, but that still does not mean it will happen immediately. Statistics suggest that the average woman between 20 and 24 years old has about a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month. Lifestyle habits should be the main focus at this age and the number one piece of advice is to quit smoking. Nicotine has a toxic effect on cells, which impacts both the sperm and the eggs, and the same is true of passive smoking. Being overweight or underweight can also take its toll and there is evidence to suggest that too much alcohol and caffeine may be linked with lower fertility. Stress is another big factor and anyone who is trying to get pregnant should take steps to manage their stress levels. For anyone who may be suffering from fertility problems caused by conditions such as PCOS or premature ovarian failure (early onset menopause), this is an especially important time and we would advise the patient to start trying for a baby as soon as possible. www.connector.ae

30s It is becoming increasingly common for women to have their first child in their 30s and while fertility does decrease at this age, the change begins gradually then accelerates much more quickly as you get closer to your 40th birthday. This is the time to do everything you can to maximise your chances of conceiving naturally. It is important to get to know your body and understand your cycle as it’s estimated that nearly 50% of couples could be trying to conceive at the wrong time. There are a number of home methods for predicting ovulation, such as the calendar method, however your cycle can vary by up to seven days each month, which makes it harder to be exact. Basal Body Temperature involves taking your temperature daily as soon as you wake up, which can prove time consuming and it’s only been shown to predict the most fertile days in one third of cycles. Ovulation kits such as the Clearblue Digital Ovulation Test are proven to be much more accurate and effective. The test can predict ovulation from the first cycle of use and pinpoint your two most fertile days 12 to 24 hours in advance by analyzing the hormone levels in your urine.

www.connector.ae

40s

The risk of abnormalities rises with age and women over 40 are considered to be at a higher risk of pregnancy complications. Even with IVF the success rate falls to less than 5% for women over 42 years of age, versus 31% for women under 35.The risk of miscarriage in a woman between 35 to 39 years of age is 24%, and doubles to 51% between 40 to 44 and the risk of conditions such as Down’s Syndrome also increases. It is best to be proactive and visit a fertility specialist immediately where they will do a variety of tests to try and establish any potential problems that may require treatment. Providing there are no obvious issues patients would be advised to try and conceive naturally for three to six months. Even if a problem is identified the answer may be something simple such as lifestyle changes or drugs to stimulate ovulation. If we believe the best course of action is assisted reproduction your doctor would advise on the next steps, which may include intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF. For anyone undergoing IVF in their late 30s and above we would recommend screening the embryos for any abnormalities before embryo transfer. Even if you fall pregnant naturally in your 40s you will be offered additional prenatal screening tests to assess your baby’s chance of developing more common conditions such as Down’s Syndrome.

10 Tips to Living a Balanced and Happy Life

by Sophia Fromell, Ithaca Life

1. Review your current situation

3. How to get there

2. Decide where you want to be

4. Understand happiness

Take a close look at your life right now. Is this really the life you want to live? If not, what is missing, what needs changing? Review all aspects by thinking of all the different roles you play in your life (parent, partner, friend, employee, son/daughter) and the areas that are important to you: career, finances, relationships, personal growth, social life, and health. Rate each aspect on a scale from 0 10, with zero being the lowest and ten being the highest. Does the outcome look balanced or do you have a lot of bumps and jumps? Consider the ideal life you want to live. How is it compared to what you have now? Using the same areas you worked on above, plot in your ideal scores on a scale from 0 - 10. This will give you an illustration of where you are in each area and where you want to be. 68 | NOVEMBER Connector

To achieve the life you have always wanted, start off by making a plan. How do you plan to get there? Once you have identified the areas that need attention in your life, consider what steps you have to take to gain the balance you want. Are there areas in your life where you are putting more effort than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like? Do you tend to carry work home with you and find yourself unable to disconnect even during the weekend? Consider what it is you can stop doing or change so this area does not consume so much of your time any more. If your goal in life is to be happy, then think again. Happiness is not a goal in itself; it is a state of being. You cannot wait for the perfect moment to start being happy. Happiness is the result of your thoughts and emotions. Being aware of your thoughts and emotions www.connector.ae

is the first step in learning to manage and eventually change your state of mind from a negative to a positive one.

5. Don’t be afraid of change

Once you have identified the changes you need to do to transform your life, you will have to set out to work towards achieving change. Change often makes one uncomfortable. Especially when challenges arise, we often give up instead of trying to pull through. Be prepared to step out of your comfort zone and see this change as an opportunity to be better.

6. Be dissatisfied

Don’t be afraid to be dissatisfied with what you have achieved so far in life. Being dissatisfied is a driving force for achieving more. It will drive you to achieve what you’ve always desired.

7. Change your thoughts

Do you ever catch yourself saying things like: “I can’t do this because…”, “That’s not possible!” or “I am never lucky”. Limiting thoughts can influence everything you do and they certainly can prevent you from seeing opportunities, pursuing your dreams and sometimes discourage you completely from trying anything new. Even though such beliefs may sound reasonable and true, try to challenge them. Acknowledge that such thoughts are not necessarily facts, look for evidence that proves the opposite.

9. It’s about the journey not the destination

Striving to achieve different goals and ambitions in life is a sign of dedication and commitment. However, you may often reach those goals only to find out that they are not as satisfying and as glorious as you initially thought. Though setting and achieving goals is important, do not forget to take a moment to look back and appreciate where you came from. Look at all the obstacles you had to overcome to get here, all the experience you gained on the way. It is the sum of these memories and experiences that make you who you are today.

10. Relationships

Relationships are often not on our to-do list as they are not urgent. However, working on them and maintaining them is important. Relationships help us satisfy a number of dependencies; these needs are companionship, affection and emotional support. Relationships whether with family, friends or a partner, help us live a more fulfilled life. Ensure you identify and prioritise the relationships that are important in your life, as they are an integral part of your happiness.

8. Understand what’s keeping you back

All people have dreams, however not everyone gets to achieve them. Fear is the main force that stops us from going after a goal, as it is a natural response to danger. We feel fear in order to protect ourselves from something that can be harmful to us. However, most fears we have in our adult lives are unfounded. As infants, we are born with only two kinds of fear: the fear of falling and fear of loud noises. Everything else is conditioned to us throughout our life. www.connector.ae

Fitness tips for mums For a busy mum, whether you are a working or stay at home mum, starting an exercise routine can sometimes seem impossible to fit to your long list of to ‘dos’ every day. The biggest challenge you may face is finding time to fit everything. Below are some tips to help make this possible for you.

Working mums

• If you are working 10 hours a day, it can sometimes be very hard to motivate yourself to get to the gym. Go during your one-hour lunch break or directly before or after work. Sometimes working out in morning is easier to do as you are fresh and the stress of work hasn’t got on top of you. • Get a support group/workout group going in work and maybe use lunch time to train together. Having support or a buddy to train

with will help keep up your motivation. • When possible cycle or walk to work and always use the stairs. These are useful ways of getting your cardio done without having to worry about the trip to the gym after.

Stay at home mums

• If you are a stay at home mum using fitness DVDs or training online with a personal trainer are both good ideas to help you keep on track with your workouts. Try to do this when the kids are asleep and get into a regular routine. • Taking the kids for long walks or playing fun activities in the park is also a good way to help both you and them to exercise. • Get the kids involved let them feel like workout is a team effort between all of you do something fun like hiking or mountain biking. • Try to exercise early because as the day goes on it gets easier to make excuses. Try as hard as you can to schedule 30 minutes for yourself before or after breakfast.

Tips for both

• Prep your food ‘if you fail to plan, you plan to fail’. Having meals ready to eat will take less time and make it easier for you to follow the correct diet, otherwise if you’re hungry you will eat what is there. Use the weekend to prep your meals this will take around one hour from your day and save you from craving and eating bad food. • Track and count everything you eat as this enable you to know the food you’re consuming and keep you within your daily macronutrient goals. Hiring a personal trainer is a good way to keep you motivated and ensure you train consistently and reach your goal. • Make use of the weekends with your family. Doing fun active activities not only benefits you but it is great for the whole family.Classes such as baby aqua classes or mums and tots are awesome classes to attend to suit both you and young kids.
