Editorial “« If you think you are too small to make a difference, then you haven’t spent the night with a mosquito» African proverb” Dear Friends, pleasure and our honour to seize this opportunity to say a warm THANK YOU to you all, who have made it possible for us to travel this far. You the esteemed announcer, you the cherished reader, you the gallant staff member, past and present, Ayekoo! to all... Father’s Day this year falls on 21st June. To each of us, there is a man in our life who has been a provider, a protector, a teacher, a friend, a patriarch, a disciplinarian, a spiritual leader, and who has hopefully treated his wife, our mum, like a queen! That is dad! We should take this opportunity to let such a man, our Dad and/or any other men who have succeeded in making each of us feel just comfortable by their side or at the mere thought of them, that we love them! To commemorate 2015 Father’s Day, Mr Andy Asamoah, of A & C Mall fame made time in his busy schedule to share with us his thoughts on Father’s Day and fatherhood and we are pleased to bring this interview to you. We wish to congratulate all patrons and friends who attended the all-important gala night of the Children’s Heart Foundation Ghana at the Labadi Beach Hotel on 16th May. They lent their support to this exceptionally good cause, that Mrs Jacky Ahomka-Lindsey and other trustees have been pursuing in aid of children diagnosed with congenital heart conditions.

Profile

ENJOY: Mr Asamoah, I am grateful for your precious time. What does Father’s Day mean to you?

Day institution is derived from somebody’s decision one day to find a matching piece to Mother’s Day?

Mr Andy Asamoah: Father’s Day is a testimony to the role a father plays in the lives of his children. A father is the pillar in the family set-up and without a father, how can there be a family? In my opinion, Father’s Day is as significant as Mother’s Day. Of course, from an emotional perspective, as a baby, you bond with your mother. And as you grow up, while your daddy is outside trying to put food on the table, your mother is there taking care of you, providing a shoulder for you to cry on, showing love and tenderness… Nonetheless, a father’s existence in the family is paramount.

AA:

ENJOY: So you think one would

not be right to argue that a Father’s

I maintain that Father’s Day is very important. There are lots of responsibilities which rest with the father? Like I said before, because you bond more with your mother, whom you see around you more often than your father, you as a child develop a weakness for your mother. But that does not in any way make the father irrelevant in the family. So, Father’s Day is as important as Mother’s Day, it's just that the emotional attachment is different.

ENJOY: Already, in our black African set-up, a father is already the ‘big boss’ in the house. Really, is Father’s Day not superfluous? In other words, is it really necessary to observe such a day?

AA: Most

assuredly we need a Father’s Day. You know, in most cases and in spite of other considerations, it is the father who moulds the child. It is the father’s vision of what he wants for the child, the type of school the child will be sent to, the type of education he wants for the child, which will finally make the child. Today, we should not look at Father’s Day with the eyes of yore. Fathers in Africa used to be like you described them because polygamy was the order of the day. The father had to find a way to enforce his authority amidst his three, four, five wives and all their offspring. How would he be able to know all the children anyway?

ENJOY: That would be such an awkward situation, for a father not to make out his own child.

ENJOY No 100 June 2015 | 7

AA:

Oh yes! Let me tell you this story, funny yet unfortunate. One day in Kumasi, as I was walking to some place, I saw a child who came close to a man and held his hand. The child called the man “Daddy”. The man looked at the child and asked: “What is your mother’s name?” It was only when the boy said “my mother is Maame Akua” that the man recollected the face and exclaimed “Oh Kojo, how are you?” Can you see it? Definitely, that man had more than one wife. But things have been changing. With the urbanisation and other constraining factors, men tend to stick to one wife. So, children become more attached to their fathers, especially girls. If Father’s Day seemed to be trifling, that is no longer the case.

“The father must find the best way to involve the mother in decision-making for the benefit of the family.”

ENJOY: So, how would you define a Father? What makes one a father?

ENJOY: What about you, in particular? Have you been looking forward to Father’s Day?

AA:

A father is the leader of a unit. If we take the President of the Republic, he is a father because he is the leader of that unit called Ghana. But being a leader does not mean you have to wok alone. In a family, you have to work with your partner, who is the mother of the children. Your decisions must be taken in consultation. The father must find the best way to involve the mother in decision-making for the benefit of the family. Take the A & C Shopping Mall, for example. I could have named it after myself only. But when I was working, my wife was there, to support me and everything I achieved, I did thanks to her. So, A & C stands for A as in Andy i.e. myself and C as in Cecilia i.e. my wife. We own the shopping mall together. It is a partnership. That is how I see the father in the family, partnering his spouse though he is the leader of the unit.

8 | June 2015 ENJOY No 100

Definitely! I always do, just like my wife also looks forward to Mother’s Day. But we used to have a problem, in the sense that our children thought that their parents have everything. But we say no! What is important, the essence of the day is the idea underlying the institution of the day. What we cherish is the gesture of presenting us with something on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. When I am given a handkerchief, I delight over it. I do have handkerchiefs, but I like to feel that my child remembered to mark the day for me with this. It feels good! So, the gesture, the thought, the sentiment conveyed, that is the most important. Yes, I always look forward to receiving a call, a short message on my phone, a WhatsApp on Father’s Day!

ENJOY: But what explains the

fact that the excitement around Mother’s Day is much greater than that of Father’s Day?

AA:

I made mention before of our polygamous families in Africa. In such an environment, children are more attached to their mother than they are to their father. Also, since the mother is the one staying back to run the home when the father is away at work or for any other reason, we can understand that a more solid tie is created between mother and child and later, when that child has grown up, he will do more on Mother’s Day than on Father’s Day. But like I said earlier, change is gradually coming owing to the shift in the family setups. In any case, let us understand that Father’s Day is no less important than Mother’s Day!

ENJOY: And what comes to mind when you hear about people deciding to sever ties with their fathers over past misdeeds to them? AA:

Sometimes, it may be possible to understand the feelings of those children. But if I had my way, I would tell them “Do not do that! Once he was the person who

“Once he was the person who brought you into this life, whether he took care of you, whether he did not, you have to acknowledge his existence.”

brought you into this life, whether he took care of you, whether he did not, you have to acknowledge his existence. ” In fact, such children have to look at the circumstances surrounding what they are holding against their parents. When they Mr. Andy & Mrs Cecilia Asamoah check the real situation, they might find out it is not even their fault and the father or mother they despise people never fall sick, some others in them and appreciate them for so much was rather a victim or are immune against some types of everything. One can have only one suffered as much if not more than diseases. When you say my father father. the child. On the other hand, never gave me anything, what about considering such father was guilty, Your message to all that intelligence which has made ENJOY: let the child go ahead and buy him you succeed in life in spite of all fathers on this special occasion? a handkerchief on the challenges?

Father's Day

The Joy Of Being A Father William Yarnie, Fabrice Parodat, Samuel Osafo Adu, Samuel Wilberforce, Jesse Agyapong & Christophe Monmarche are young fathers. How does it feel like being a father? Have they been looking forward to the day? How did they feel being wished "Happy Father's Day" for the first time? Fabrice is so happy to have one girl and one boy because his relationship with each of them is unique. For him having children is like planting a tree and waiting for the flowers to bloom; "It is so interesting to see your children grow, they teach you a lot, being a father is one of the most beautiful things in life. I recomend it to any one". e William says seeing his son, reminds him of what it was like to be that young. “Fatherhood has made me a happy man. It not always easy but it is very rewarding. When Jayden comes to visit me at work, I watch him trying to learn, and just imagine him growing up to take his place in his company. Everything I build now is for my son, he is the reason I live with a heartfelt smile. On Father's Day Jayden jumps into my bed in the morning with warm hugs and kisses saying how much he loves me, that's a just bliss. e

Christophe "To me, a father - a dad - is someone who holds your hand when you cry, scolds you when you break the rules, shines with pride when you succeed and believes in you even when you fail. This is the man that my father was to me and is the dad I strive to always be to my kids." e 12 | June 2015 ENJOY No 100

My dream is to be the rock to these wonderful kids says Sammy. To be the person they look up to when they have a problem. Imagine my joy when they crawl up to me to play in the morning. Father's Day is not really celebrated but these two make me feel special everyday. e

As a father the greatest gift I can ever give my son it to believe in me. Jesse says 'For the need of any child is as strong as the need for a father's protection.’ e

Sam, still remembers when he held Kwesi in his arms for the first time, he was so touched, his heart melted, he knew he had gotten the greatest gift from God; being a father was already a true blessing. “As a father I try my very best to impact his life, guide him through the decisions he makes, and be there for him in every way I can. It's not always easy but I do my best. Every time I look at my son, I see myself and believe that he has a bright future. It’s a joy for my son to wish me On Father's Day. To me everyday is Father's Day as we celebrate by spending quality time together watching Formula 1, having a nice meal and most of all, sharing laughter, warm hugs and love. e

In 1920, a man nearly sold the Eiffel Tower in Paris as scrap metal. Indeed, posing as a State official representing the then Ministry of Posts, Telegraphs and Telephones, Victor Lustig, a professional swindler, managed to convince the five French largest companies dealing in scrap metal at the time of the Government’s move to dispose of the Iron Lady. Taking the bait, one of the dealers gave a large sum of money to Lustig by way of bribe in order to secure the bargain for his company. Lustig then fled to Austria. He was arrested one month later when he came back to France to collect another money from another dealer.

The sound from snapping one’s fingers does not come from the fingers. The sound produced when one clicks ones fingers is not from them, but in reality, it is the contact of the middle finger with the palm of one’s hand which is at the origin of that sound. At the beginning of the action, there is a pressure exerted between the thumb and the middle finger, then the latter is released suddenly and hits the palm of the hand thus producing the snap. e

Ram received a car from his brother on his birthday. One day when Ram came out of his office and saw a street child walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car?” he asked. Ram nodded, “My brother presented me on my birthday.” The boy was astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” – He hesitated. Of course Ram knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like his brother but what the lad said jarred Ram all the way down to his heels. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Ram looked at the boy in astonishment, and then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?” “Oh yes, I’d love that.” After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Would you mind driving in front of my house?”

Ram smiled, he thought the lad wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Ram was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” The boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then, in a little while, Ram heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car. “There he is, brother. Like I told you upstairs, his brother gave it to him and it didn’t cost him a penny. Some day, I’m going to give you one just like it then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the shop windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.” Ram got out and lifted the crippled boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable ride. e Author unknown ENJOY No 100 June 2015 | 17

Setting Up a Barebones Budget

Only basic necessities are covered by a barebones budget. One switches to a barebones budget when one is trying to get out of debt or working toward a specific financial goal as quickly as possible. No extra spending is allowed when a barebones budget is being followed. • List Your Necessities As mentioned earlier, only your necessities will be covered. Including paying your mortgage or rent (accommodation), your basic utilities (water and electricity) and your food. You may include internet if that is indispensable for your work. It all depends on how serious your situation is. • Cut Some Expenses Do you really need new clothes? Why spend money on entertainment or other optional things? Also, do not eat out. You should prepare your food at home, since it is much less expensive than eating out. You have to cut back on your cellular phone expenses. Cancel any automatic debits from your account in order to save money. • Obligatory Expenses Do you subscribe to health insurance? Consider that a medical emergency in this situation can spoil everything. It is important that you put health insurance above other expenses on your list. Then, never forget your retirement. If you are currently unemployed, just do everything possible to keep yourself from dipping into your retirement savings.

20 | June 2015 ENJOY No 100

• Crisis Mode vs. Cutting Back If you are in a true crisis, you will want to cut back as much as possible. This means no entertainment spending, no eating out and no cheating on your budget. If you are simply trying to get by after losing your income, you will need to cut back as much as possible. This means that you need to be able to justify everything you spend as being a necessity. When it comes to feeding, you will want to save money by planning your most inexpensive meals. e

The Financial Expression of the Month: Organic Growth Organic growth is the growth rate that a company can achieve by increasing output and enhancing sales. This excludes any profits or growth acquired from takeovers, acquisitions or mergers. Takeovers, acquisitions and mergers do not bring about profits generated within the company, and are therefore not considered organic. Organic growth represents the true growth for the core of the company. It is a good indicator of how well management has used its internal resources to expand profits. Organic growth also identifies whether managers have used their skills to improve the business. e

Winner of the Potjie Jonathan & Jan the Michelin Men Team & friends

South Africa Potjie

South Africans in Ghana, together with their Ghanaian and foreign friends, had a fun night on Saturday, 16th May 2015 at the Irish Pub, East Legon, Accra competing in the Annual Potjie Competition 2015 ‘Potjie’ is a stew. And cooking a potjie is a uniquely South African tradition almost as popular as the legendary ‘braai’. Family and friends gather around the ‘potjie’ which is left softly bubbling on either a fire or a gas stove. They spend time chatting, enjoying a drink, simply having great time till the potjie is ready for consumption. When talking to a potjie master, they will always tell you their potjie is the best and the annual Potjie Competition has been instituted to put them to the test and find out who really is the best.

Tamzin, South Africa's High Commissioner to Ghana Ms Lulama Xingwana & Borwyn

Ten teams of 2 participated in the competition. The main rule of the day was to have fun but judges allocate points for not only the food but general behaviour awarding additional points for bribery, corruption, and sabotage. All proceeds from the event are to be donated to High Standards Girls School (primary and JSS) in Tamale, in the Northern Region of Ghana. e

Her mother recounted that her daughter realised the "oversight" only when she noticed a vibration in her stomach. X rays then revealed the presence of a strange object. Doctors had to admit her as a matter of extreme emergency to remove the object. The Jordanian Health Ministry denied the story, but assured the public it was monitoring the situation closely. e

But there was no error. In Finland, since the 1920s, sanctions applied against delinquent motorists are calculated on the basis of income and the number of dependent children to the offender.

The Best Essay for a Large Farm

eslie and Paul are farmers in Elkmont, Alabama. Because most interested potential buyers couldn't afford their 20acre farm valued at US$350,000, they have decided to give it away to whoever would emerge as the best writer in an essay contest. The couple are just asking each entrant to pay a $150 submission fee, and said they hope to get 2,500 entries in all, which would total $375,000. This amount will be used to pay off the rest of their mortgage, while $20,000 will be given to the contest winners. What's more, the couple said they'll train anyone who isn't experienced in making goat cheese in addition to adding 85 goats to the whole package. e

Her Twin’s Embryo carried along

amini Karanam is a 26 year old PhD student at Indiana University's School of Informatics. She sought medical help last year because she was having troubles keeping simple conversations and reading. Doctors, who were initially unsure what was wrong with her, decided to perform keyhole surgery in her brain. That was when they made the amazing discovery: in the middle of her brain, a suspected ‘tumor’ was in fact the undeveloped embryo of Yamini’s twin, a teratoma as it is called by specialists. Complete, with hair, bones and teeth… a scene almost worthy of a horror movie. But all is well that ends well, only that she had had to live with an embryo in the head for 26 years. e

Star of the Month

Enam bosokah “Blue, he said, stands for an abundance of creativity, it is the colour of the sky.”

Enam Bosokah was born in Tefle, in the Volta Region of Ghana, 27 years ago. After his basic and secondary education in Sogakope, he got a place at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to study Painting and Sculpture. He ended up majoring in sculpture but he also excels in painting and drawing. Explaining what inspired him to become an artist, Enam said it all started when he was still a toddler. He was fond of drawing. He recalled that when he was in class one, during a drawing session, his teacher had cause to call his classmates to get close and have a good look at the drawings he was executing. Enam spotted a glimmer of admiration both in the eyes of his ‘Auntie’ and of his classmates. Today, Enam’s painting tool is the pen. Yes, the pen! And with it, he works wonders on canvas, on paper, in short on any medium which can support pen. Blue is his signature colour.

Star of the month In his words, "blue, stands for an abundance of creativity; it is the colour of the sky". Enam has not been in hurry to feature in a formal exhibition. He has explained “[he] has a story to tell with his drawings, and there is no use to rush for an exhibition when [his] story is not complete”.

“He has kept the flame burning up to the extent of becoming a professional artist.”

However some of his drawings will be exhibited at the plush Kaya Design Bar & Boutique at Osu on Friday, 19th June 2015. (See page 34) The show opens at 6:30 pm. and will remain on display in that unique jewel-case of luxury, relaxation and authenticity for 24 hours. The artist is extremely grateful to his parents who supported him as he sought admission into university to pursue his dreams of becoming a professional artist. e

HORO SCOPE Aries

21/3-20/04 There are many reasons to keep you close to home, at a desk, or otherwise focused on your daily routines this month, dear Aries. It's also a time for communicating and connecting, and for running many errands, but these tend to be rather routine and in the neighborhood. The first few days of June, however, bring Full Moon energy that sets your sights on bigger things, or a need for more distance from the mundane affairs of your life. Some of you may be publishing or promoting a project, and for others, the need to travel or further their education comes into strong focus. In June, you are easily enthused about your plans, projects, and ideas. Romantic expression moves from slightly timid to wonderfully terrific around the 5th, when Venus moves into your romance sector for the remainder of the month and beyond. Midmonth, Saturn brings your attention to unfinished intimate or financial business, which can be handled from now until mid-September.

Taurus

21/4-21/05 This is an important month for settling in and focusing on comfort, financial, and security issues, dear Taurus. A pile-up of planets in your sector of self-worth and personal resources sector fairly demands your attention on what you have and what you might want to build or strengthen in order to feel safer and more content.

Gemini

22/5-21/06

There is a strong focus on you and your money or talents this month, dear Gemini, but on the 2nd, the Full Moon brings your attention to relationships, as well as unrealized feelings. Bring back some balance to your life by focusing on a partner or significant person, but keep in mind that this is an important month for pursuing your personal goals, expressing yourself independently, and taking care of yourself. Mercury is retrograde in your sign until the 11th, and it's also vital that you look back before moving forward. With both Neptune and Mercury changing directions on the 1112 (Mercury moves direct and Neptune moves retrograde), watch for fuzzy thinking on those days, and add a buffer zone of a few days in both directions to the equation. By mid-month, you'll be clearer, more determined, and ready to grab opportunities as they arise, and the New Moon on the 16th gives you the extra punch to do so, as it occurs in your sign. This is the green light. The 20-21 is particularly excellent for new beginnings, as bountiful Jupiter and unique Uranus connect your communications and social sector in pleasing ways. Friendships, networking, learning, and partnering are all highly favored now.

Horoscope

Cancer

Libra

Capricorn

Your private life is especially animated this month, dear Cancer, particularly in the the first three weeks of June. Rest, reflection, and focus on mental and spiritual health are big themes, although the Full Moon on the 2nd can bring work and physical health to your attention, demanding some balance. Venus continues its transit of your sign in first four days of the month, when others see you as especially desirable and likeable, and perhaps more importantly, you're gentler on yourself. With Saturn moving back into your romance and creative sector starting mid-month and lasting the summer, you have the chance to tie up loose ends in these areas of life.

Although detail work and errands might figure strongly in the first few days of the month, dear Libra, your larger focus is on the "big picture" for much of June. You have a strong desire for experiences that transcend the ordinary, and a case of wanderlust can take hold. Chances to satisfy this itch, whether it's physical or mental, are good, especially from the 16th forward. Watch for fogginess on the 1013, when two important planetary shifts can leave us temporarily disoriented. This is especially the case with your work or health with Neptune stationary retrograde in your solar sixth house. There can be a small disappointment in work, service, or health areas that is at first discouraging, but ultimately redirects you on a more appropriate path.

Even though there is a strong and special emphasis on matters of health, work, and routine this month, dear Capricorn, June has its very pleasant rewards. It's a time for being especially productive and enjoying the rewards of being useful, but it can also be a rather busy period that requires some backtracking over incomplete or outdated projects. While it's important to focus on firming up your routines, the Full Moon on the 2nd can remind you of the need to take necessary breaks. The first few days of June are important for feeding your spirit and taking care of needs that go beyond the physical and practical.

22/6-23/07

Leo

24/7-23/08

24/9-23/10

There is strong focus on group activities and associations, collaboration, networking, as well as attention to longterm projects in June, dear Leo. Even so, the Full Moon on the 2nd of the month can pull your attention to personal or independent creative projects and romance for some. Romance may be especially exciting, but it's important to watch for illusions which can put you on an emotional see-saw. Demands on your time can be big this month, and mostly pleasantly so, but you may need to pay special attention to managing your time effectively. You might be in the position of leader in a club or group. The 10-13 can be considered relatively confusing days when shifts are occurring and we're not thinking very clearly. Neptune's station encourages imagination but can temporarily blur facts and figures, particularly related to shared resources or money for you.

Scorpio

Virgo

You are focused on other people in your life much of the month, dear Sagittarius. It's that time of year when others' agendas and needs tend to come into the spotlight, and you're paying your relationships their due attention. You also tend to seek out others' company, advice, and feedback at this time. However, the Full Moon on the 2nd brings unacknowledged personal needs onto the front burner. It can be an important time for checking in with those feelings and desires that you've brushed off or left unfulfilled. Some of you could be boiled over by the force of your emotions now, and important epiphanies can occur now.

24/8-23/09

Your professional presence is more powerful this month, dear Virgo, and you are in the position to impress people with your energy, confidence, or motivation. While there is a strong emphasis on work and responsibilities to the outside world, the Full Moon on the 2nd brings your attention to home and family. This is an important time to settle things in your personal life. You can be more dedicated to your goals or your career now. Until the 11th, there can be some rethinking, redoing, and backtracking on projects, but this is important work.

24/10-22/11 This is an important month for settling in and focusing on comfort, financial, and security issues, dear Taurus. A pile-up of planets in your sector of self-worth and personal resources fairly demands your attention on what you have and what you might want to build or strengthen in order to feel safer and more content. Even so, the Full Moon energy of the first few days of June can bring your attention to matters of sharing and connecting intimately with a partner, and it may ask you to take an emotional risk or to move out of your comfort zone. Support or loans can come through for some of you. A lot of June is pleasurable and slow - just the way you like things!

Sagittarius 23/11-21/12

22/12-20/01

Aquarius

21/01-19/02

The month ahead is an important one for getting in touch with your need to enjoy and express yourself as an individual, dear Aquarius. You are putting your unique stamp on whatever you're doing, and this is an important process of self-discovery. Even so, the Full Moon on the 2nd can remind you of the need for others, whether it's about support or simply a feeling of belonging. Reaching out at this time can be therapeutic. There is an emphasis on recreation, play, romance, or creativity in June, but you may feel in limbo on some level until the 14th, perhaps as you are waiting for news or otherwise can't seem to fully enjoy yourself. On the 11-13, be especially wary of taking risks with money, and even your heart.

Pisces

20/02-20/03

While your attention is mostly drawn towards personal matters, domestic affairs, and family much of June, dear Pisces, the first few days of the month require you to perform and produce with a Full Moon lighting up your sector of career, responsibility, and reputation. Practical matters might come together in pleasing ways, and you might earn some recognition for what you do. Home life is animated, but not always smooth in the first part of the month. However, any backtracking you need to do now will contribute greatly to the strength of future plans. Your ruler, Neptune, turns retrograde in your sign on the 12th, just a day after Mercury turns direct. These two important shifts bring initial confusion, so that the 10-13 can be a foggy, possibly o | 39 100 June 2015 disorienting time.ENJOY WatchNfor mixed signals.

Use non-stick pans to slash the fat needed by half. 8-10 weeks “A combination of compound moves, clean eating and commitment should lead to visible results in this period,” says PT Coel Fulton. If you make the most of your fast metabolism at this age, it will be much easier to hold onto your gains throughout your thirties and forties, when it slows.

Thirties Swing off stubborn fat Now you have to work harder to fight flab, as your metabolism slows in the region of 15-35%. Combat that with higher reps of weighted moves. KB swings work your posterior chain to burn maximum calories. Gobble up aminos You might be tempted to spend more on a good cut of meat but you’re better off plucking out turkey in your third decade.

“Stress increases your cortisol levels, contributing to fat storage around the organs near your abs.”

You’re at an age when you need to condition your body, not punish it. A DB renegade row from a plank position works your abs safely. “It’s a fantastic move for stabilising the hips, trunk and shoulders in order to reduce risk of injury,” says Fulton. Catch on to low-cal

Lose fat, not control Stress increases your cortisol levels, contributing to fat storage around the organs near your abs. Meditation, massage or a walk in green space inhibits cortisol release, keeping you lean against nature’s orders.

How To Make Your

Lipstick Last Brought to you by Glam's Make up

No one likes to apply their lipstick only to have it wear off in a couple of hours. We spend so much time applying our makeup the last thing we want to do is reapply lipstick every few hours. And, with holiday parties right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to rock those red lip . So getting the most wear from your favourite shade of lipstick is a must. Apart from trying lipsticks that promise to have more staying power, or drying lipstains, there are alternative ways of extending the time your lipstick last. Below are some quick tips and tricks to get the most from your lipsticks all year round.

“And, with holiday parties right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to rock those red lips”

Exfoliate

This is the most important thing you can do for your lips as this removes all the dead skin from your lips leaving new skin cells to grow in their place. This will help keeps your lips soft and subtle. This can easily be done by combining equal parts of sugar and honey and using a toothbrush to gently scrub your lips. Do this once or twice a week to keep your lips soft and kissable. 42 | June 2015 ENJOY No 100

Lip Balm – Before beginning to apply your makeup put on a thin coat of lip balm of your choice. This will get your lips moisturized and keep them from looking dry and cracked. When you are ready to apply your lip products make sure to gently wipe off any excess lip balm. (It’s also a good idea to apply a coat of moisturizing lip balm to your lips before bed each night to help keep your lips smooth and hydrated)

Beauty tips

Lipliner – Begin by using your favorite lipliner, here

I am using Glams Deep Red, and begin at the Cupid’s Bow of the upper lip and trace the outer part of your lips. Once the lips are lined you are going to use the same liner pencil to fill them in. This is extremely important as this will lay the foundation for the lipstick you apply on top. Simply turn the liner onto its side and color in the rest of the lip.

Lipstick – Now it’s time to apply your lipstick. One

https://www.makeupgeek.com/tutorials/how-to-make-your-lipstick-last/

of the things that will help your lipstick look it’s best is to use a lip brush to put on the lipstick instead of applying it directly from the tube. As we age we get small crevasses in our lips, when you use the lipstick from the tube the color lays on the top surface of the lips only. Using a brush allows the color to really get into the lip and helps it stay longer. Dip the lipbrush into the lipstick,( here I am using Glams Be Mine) and pack the color onto the lips to get a sort of stained effect. Now take a tissue and blot your lips a couple of times to really press the color into your lips. Now go back in with your lipstick and apply a second coat of color.

Concealer – To help clean up around the lips and give them a clean edge, wipe off your lipbrush really well to remove the lipstick and use a concealer like MAC Studio Concealer to clean up the edges.

Having amazing lips with color that will last is easy. Regardless of whether you are wearing the perfect red holiday lip, or just want to get the most wear from your lipstick, these simple steps will make sure your lips stay looking their best all night. e

AU Day at Ronsard Bilingual School

This page is proudly brought to you by Enjoy Accra

Pupils, teaching and administrative staff of Ronsard Bilingual School joined parents and invited guests to celebrate African Unity at the school compound in East Legon, Accra, on Friday, 22nd May 2015. It was a well-planned event during which pupils from various countries in Africa and beyond participated. It was fun watching the children, some as little as three years old, try their best in sketch comedies, dance, choreography, poetry and recitation competitions. The central theme for the celebration, Africa Must Unite, was apparent throughout.

To serve, fill 4 tall glasses with ice. Divide the lemonade mixture among them, and top with the club soda. Garnish ď&#x192;&#x2122; each glass with 2 reserved ginger slices and serve immediately.

Brown Sugar Syrup: Put the brown sugar in a small saucepan, stir in 1 cup water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely before using.

Total time

DJ BBQ's rad rum ribs

sea salt freshly ground black pepper 1.5 kg higher-welfare baby back ribs, membrane removed For the paste 5 tablespoons maple syrup 2 teaspoons chipotle chilli paste 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1½ teaspoons sweet paprika 1½ teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Combine the paste ingredients and 2 teaspoons of salt in a bowl. Pat the ribs dry with kitchen paper, then place in a tray and rub all over with the paste. Cover with cling film and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.

When you want to cook, remove the ribs from the fridge, shake off any excess marinade and allow to come up to room temperature. Meanwhile, set up your barbecue for the half and half technique (so half the base is covered in charcoal and the other side is empty) – you want a medium indirect heat. Place a drip tray inside the barbecue on the indirect side. Cover with the lid and allow to heat up like an outdoor oven – you want a temperature of around 180°C/350°F.

For the rad rum BBQ sauce 4cm piece of ginger, peeled 3–4 cloves of garlic, peeled 125 ml tomato ketchup 60 ml dark rum 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon dried chilli flakes 50 g soft dark brown sugar

Rip off just over an arm's length of extra-strong tin foil, stack up the ribs in the centre and tightly wrap. Place the foil parcel over indirect heat on the barbecue, cover with the lid and cook for around 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and starts to fall away from the bone, remembering to replenish with hot coals every 45 minutes or so. Meanwhile, finely grate the ginger and garlic into a small pan on the hob. Add the rest of the BBQ sauce ingredients and 80ml of water. Simmer over a medium heat for around 20 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Season to taste and set aside. Remove the ribs from the foil and brush all over with the BBQ sauce and any cooking juices. Return to the indirect heat for another 30 to 40 minutes with the lid on, or until tender and golden, basting well every 10 minutes or so. Remove to a board to rest for 5 minutes, then carve. Enjoy, 'cause these ribs rule!
