Hi there, Welcome to our January edition Happy new year everyone. I hope you have all had the most amazing start to 2019 and didn’t suffer too much from the ‘Christmas Blues’. We’re really looking forward to bringing you another year of our community magazines and would like to thank all of our readers for their support to your loyal advertisers but more importantly to local businesses. As always with the new year comes the resolutions and being that weight loss and health tends to be at the top of the list we have an article for you giving you tips and tricks to kick off your new lifestyle as well as a delicious Tabbouleh recipe which is quick and easy to make. Be strong and make this year the one that counts! The movie preview this month focuses on the new film Stan & Ollie. Personally I cannot wait to see this story come to life. Laurel and Hardy will always be a favourite of mine and this film about their farewell tour looks brilliant. For the romantics out there we have included an article to go that extra mile this
Valentines day with spending lots of £££s.

EVERYTHING BUT THE DRESS
Marni S/S 2018
Oscar de la Renta the famous fashion designer remarked, “A woman makes an outfit her own with accessories”. It is the little touches and the accents that run through an outfit that make it complete. When a special occasion crops up such as a black tie dinner or a friend’s wedding your attention would normally focus on a dress or a glamourous two piece. Of course finding that unique frock or fancy suit is important, but forget accessories and the job is only half done. Add that little something extra and your whole outfit is lifted and transformed. Let Dress Doctor be your guide to the accessories you need to know about to really dazzle… Just add Jewells Kings and Queens past and present have used glistening gems and elaborate jewellery to adorn their outfits for centuries. Let us celebrate tradition by using jewellery to add that final touch to an ensemble. A show stopping choker can really make a little black dress come alive. The contrast of the dark fabric and the shiny diamonds never fails to enchant and will always remain a classic look. Costume jewellery is a really fun way of building up an outfit. Go as bold as you dare with fluorescent florals or colourful graphic cubes. Earrings to Excite Over the last few seasons earrings have really come into their own and evolved into beautiful pieces of jewellery. If you have a formal occasion why not scoop your hair back into a chignon and invest in a pair of shoulder dusters. I like to refer to them as chandeliers for the ears – fountains of gems spill out creating a display that will really turn heads. If you wish to tone it done a little opt for one long earring and a matching stud for an edgier appeal. Earrings also act as a secret weapon, as they bring the eye all the way up to showcase the face. The Waist Clincher A belt is another great tool to really flatter your form. Rather than hide away in masses of flowing fabric you should enhance your figure by showing off your unique body shape. A belt can also be a good way of buying into a trend whether it be the colour of the moment or the latest print exploding onto the runway. If you are feeling super confident add a skinny leopard print belt to your favourite red dress for added bite.

The Danny Green Fund would like to wish you all a wonderful start to the New Year. We are delighted to have been able to deliver sacks full of gifts to Great Ormond Street Hospital, Little Havens, Southend Hospital and Basildon Hospital once again this year.These very special Christmas deliveries really do make a difference to the lives of the children who receive the gifts. We know from personal experience that staying in hospital over Christmas is very tough for the whole family and knowing that others are thinking of you really does make a massive difference at this special time of year. We were able to donate gifts for children receiving treatment along with their siblings. Spreading joy and the true meaning of Christmas is a wonderful thing to do. We thank everyone who kindly donated a gift and made this happen for so many very brave children.
Going into 2019 The Danny Green Fund have sponsored 3 days of dedicated Brain Tumour Research at Portsmouth University, the first in January, February and then another day in March bringing the hope of a cure even closer as without research there will be no cure. We are always looking for new and exciting ways to fundraise to help provide vital therapies for children who are suffering from disabilities as the result of a brain tumour. If you would like to help make a difference to the lives of these children please email us at info@thedannygreenfund.org.uk. Every penny raised will go towards changing lives and giving children with brain tumours the opportunity to become more independently and to achieve their dream of walking unaided once again. This is a truly special gift which we would not be able to fund without your support.

HELP STOP THE BIRDS STRIKING YOUR WINDOWS Help give nature a home this winter with ideas and tips from RSPB. Here’s one from their extensive library on www.rspb.org.uk HELP STOP BIRDS STRIKING WINDOWS Do you have windows that birds sometimes fly into? You can significantly reduce the risk of it happening and save lives. Birds haven’t yet learnt to recognise glass. They either see ‘open air’ to fly into, or the window acts as a mirror and birds think they are heading for trees, shrubs and sky. Hopefully you won’t hear any thuds on the window pane, or see stricken birds on the ground outside. You can make silhouettes whenever you like, but we’ve suggested winter when there are lots of cold, rainy days to fill! WHAT YOU WILL NEED Black or coloured paper, Scissors, Sticky tape, ideally clear and double-sided or Sticky tack 1. CREATE YOUR SHAPES. The principle in this task is simple – you’re going to create something to tell the bird that what to them looks like ‘thin air’, is actually a lethal solid surface.

Traditionally, the silhouettes of birds of prey are used, because smaller birds are hardwired to recognise such shapes as ‘danger’ and scarper in the other direction. However, anything that alerts birds that there is a window rather than a ‘nothing’ will help. A cobweb shape is good, too. So get drawing! If you don’t have time to create your own, you can buy ready-made silhouettes. 2. DECIDE WHERE TO PUT YOUR SILHOUETTE. Look at all your windows, doors or conservatories. particularly those where there’s a clear view through the building, for instance from front to back. Birds can mistake this clear view for a clear path and try to fly through. 3. CUT YOUR SILHOUETTE AND STICK IT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR WINDOW.

STAN & OLLIE
MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 11/01/19 Stan & Ollie is a 2018 biographical comedydrama film directed by Jon S. Baird from a screenplay by Jeff Pope. Based on the lives of the comedy double act Laurel and Hardy. It premiered in October 2018 at the BFI London Film Festival. The film is scheduled to be released on 11th January 2019 in the United Kingdom. At the 76th Golden Globe Awards, Reilly was nominated for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. Following Stan & Ollie’s October 2018 debut at the BFI London Film Festival, the film received positive reviews from critics. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, it holds an approval rating of 93% based on 27 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The true story of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the legendary movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour. With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right - the pair’s love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.

SPEND VALENTINES IN Staying Home on Valentine’s Day Can Be Fun Too. Here are some tips for making your stay-athome Valentine’s celebration a memorable one: Get Someone to watch the kids As you’ve probably already learned, there’s nothing more guaranteed to spoil the magic of a romantic moment than a crying or whining child. As you plan your romantic evening, the most important thing to remember is to focus on your part. If you’re planning a nice Valentine’s evening at home, do yourself a favour and find a friend or family member who is willing to keep the kids for the night. Dress It Up One of the obvious drawbacks of spending Valentine’s Day at home is the familiarity of the atmosphere. If you don’t put any effort into preparing yourself or your home for the big day, then there’s a good chance it will feel like just another night at home. To make your celebration special, dress things up a bit. This includes putting on some nice clothes and a spritz of perfume and making some changes to the environment as well. Get out the good china, set up some candles for some quick romantic lighting, and make sure everything is tidy so that there are no distractions. Dance There’s nothing more fun and romantic than dancing with your significant other in your
own living room. No, you won’t have a live band, but you will have the freedom to be as silly or as sensual as you want to be. Move the furniture back, put on some romantic music, and lose yourself in the moment. As you plan your romantic evening, the most important thing to remember is to focus on your partner. Resist the urge to talk about the children and instead, revisit some of the things that drew you together in the first place. If you begin to feel a tinge of guilt for dropping your little one(s) off just so you can have some fun, don’t. Everyone needs a break every now and then, and what better excuse to take one than spending some muchneeded intimate time with your spouse? Your marriage will surely benefit, and in turn, so will your kids.

10 WAYS TO IMPROVE HEALTH & FITNESS - GO ON TRY A FEW 1 Take care of your heart and lungs by staying active for at least 30 minutes each day. 2 Eat GOOD fats: avocado, oily fish, olive/flax oil, nuts and seeds. These will take care of your cardiovascular system. Eat less BAD fats: Fried food, meat, cakes, chocolate, crisps, biscuits, butter. These will harm your cardiovascular system and make you fat! 3 Protein will make you feel full, and will help repair muscle after exercise. Try sourcing protein from skinless chicken, tofu, pulses and oily fish such as salmon, fresh tuna and mackerel; these also contain other beneficial ingredients and are low in bad saturated fats. 4 Make sure you eat your carbohydrates as they help you to exercise and burn fat; but eat SLOW BURN, carbohydrates such as oats, brown rice, lentils, fruits, vegetables and pulses. 5 Drink more water, often the body sends the same signal for thirst as for hunger. Drink water first thing in the morning and throughout the day, especially during and after exercising. Cut down on tea, coffee & alcohol and avoid fizzy drinks. 6 Do not get hungry; this will lead to you eating the wrong things. Carry healthy snacks wherever you go; bananas, apples, dried fruit and nuts. Hunger can be triggered by boredom or lack of stimulation. Go for a walk, wander round the garden or do the vacuuming. Eat 5/6 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones. 7 Beware of reduced fat labels - it only means that there is less fat than in the original thing. (For example reduced fat mayonnaise is still high in fat just not as high as the original version) These foods are still often high in sugars, fat and calories and you may eat more of them because they appear to be healthy. 8 Don’t fill the house with crisps, biscuits and sweets for the kids, it is no good for them and will
encourage you to snack on them too. Try and move the whole family into healthier eating, this will help prevent obesity, heart disease and diabetes in your kids when they are your age, gift them with a long, quality life. 9 Stock up on healthy foods. Write a list of delicious healthy things that you may have forgotten you love, and make sure your cupboards are full of them ready for when you get the munchies; cherry tomatoes, kiwis, mangoes, berries, wholemeal pitta breads dipped in hummus/tzatziki. 10 Motivate yourself to change your lifestyle and that of your family. Set an example to the kids that mum and dad are fit, active and healthy. Take them on walks, cycling, walk to the shops and go swimming. Take them to a local fitness centre for football, dance or basketball. Our children need our help if they are to avoid the growing epidemic of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, as well as other lifestyle-related illness. Change their eating habits; you will only do them good.
