Welcome Hi There, Welcome to our July edition. We would like to thank all of our readers for supporting us by using the businesses within our Magazine. Our magazine is receiving great feedback. We hope you all enjoyed the Queens Jubilee. The many street parties with all their bunting really helped to make it a great occasion. We enjoyed our Local street Party and had a very good time. After a decent start to the Euro 2012, it was such a shame that England lost out on Penalties AGAIN !! It was wonderful to see all the support for the England team and let’s continue to get behind them during their World Cup Qualifying campaign. The Olympics are due to start at the end of this month which is very exciting. Please be careful if you are buying tickets to the Olympics, as there are many counterfeit tickets being sold. Chiane is doing very well and we are still trying to fund raise for her and her brother. Unfortunately we’ve had to postpone our Maharaja fund raising event until September due to the Olympic Torch relay taking place on the same day. A new date is still to be confirmed, please call our office on 01708 320271 for more details. We kindly received a £1000 donation from E & C export (Cash 4 Clothes). (see page 6 for a full update on Chiane) Please visit our website www.eblonline.co.uk to see all our Money saving vouchers, there are some great offers and new offers updated on a monthly basis. You can register for free for monthly updates of our vouchers and also a chance to win £25 cash. (See page 20)

aesthetics Wrinkle & Line Treatments Restylane is an injectable treatment that contains hyaluron gel. It is specifically formu-lated to delay the signs of ageing and refresh looks in a natural and subtle way.

Lip Enhancement

When injected into the skin, it gives your own HA a helping hand, instantly boosting the skins hydration system to restore volume and lift the skin to smooth away and soften the appearance of facial lines. It stimulates collagen production and improves skin elasticity. The results of the treat-ment are clearly visible. Treatments take about 30 minutes and lasts for around 6-9 months. Some areas can last up to a year.We also do other line reduction procedures.

Tel: 01268

One of the most effective ways to feel confident and have the lips you always wanted is with Restylane Lip Volume. It is a pure form of hyaluronic acid (HA), which binds water to give lips shape and fullness and smooth away fine lines. Treatments take about 30 minutes and lasts for around 6-9 months. We also do other line reduction procedures

Confused Gardens All Round by Sharon Longshaw Well I hardly know what to say or where to start, if your garden is anything like mine it is pretty confused right now. We have gone from having an extremely dry start to the year to rain, rain and more rain, as I sit here writing at the end of June the weather outside is more akin to April showers. I’m hoping that with the passing of the summer solstice that we will move into something resembling summer. Weeds are loving the damp conditions as always, if the ground is too wet for digging them out just pull any flower heads off to prevent them spreading until it is dry enough to give your borders a good going over. If you haven’t done so yet prune back Lilac, Rebe’s and any other spring flowering shrubs making your cuts just in front of a pair of leaves allows for new shoots to develop ready for blooming next year. To get the best out of bedding plants nip out any dead flowers at least once a week, this encourages the plants to continue producing new growth and

blooms right into autumn. Remember to check hanging baskets and containers regularly despite all the rain they may be sheltered and not getting as much water as they need, a good multipurpose feed applied once a week will pay dividends as the main problem with poor looking baskets is lack of nutrients. I’ve noticed a lot a Blackfly this year, spraying them with soapy water for 2-3 days usually does the trick however severe infestation may need to be pruned out before treating the rest of the plant. Slugs and Snails are also making the most of the damp conditions, collecting them by hand is the safest method, if you have to resort to a pesticide please use one that is bird and pet friendly as they often eat the pellets. Let’s hope we get some nice weather for BBQ’s soon !!! Provided by Flower Power Garden Services www.southendgardener.co.uk 01702 305554

Basildon district commander, Chief Insp Glen Pavelin, wants residents to help his officers tackle car break-ins across the area. He said: “My officers are continuing their efforts to reduce crime across Basildon, and I would like to urge all residents to do what they can to help us prevent cars being broken into. “We have had reports across Basildon about cars being broken into in commercial and private car parks, as well as residential road. Officers from the neighbourhood policing teams have been focussing their patrols at key times of the day to deter criminals targeting cars. “When one of my officers sees a car insecure or with items of value on display, the registered keeper of the vehicle is being sent a letter to inform them that a police officer spotted vulnerability in their vehicle, and to give them advice on how to help prevent being a victim of crime. “We know it is not always possible to take everything with you, but leaving anything on view in a parked car presents an opportunity for criminals – even an old coat on the back seat is an invitation for someone to break into your car. “Our advice is to never leave anything on display inside a parked car, including items such as a mobile telephone, mail with your home address on and portable satellite navigation equipment. Also, remember to close all windows, including any sunroof and lock all the doors, not forgetting the boot. “Officers have also been regularly visiting the Basildon Sporting Village to patrol the car park and to offer advice to people using the facilities there. This is a fantastic facility for the community, but unfortunately where there are more cars, thieves will often try their luck, so if you see anyone behaving suspiciously, call us immediately.”

Chief Insp Glen Pavelin

Keep Your Child’s Brain Active This Summer Did you know that children can lose on average two months worth of knowledge over the summer months if their brains are not actively engaged in educational activities? Of course their brains do need a break from school work, but the summer holidays are also the ideal time to fix any problems that they may have been having with Maths or English, especially if important exams are looming in the coming academic year. Our aim is to have your child ready to return to school in September with a positive attitude. A little extra support over the summer should mean that they do not lose all the knowledge they gained in the previous term and will make sure they are at the required level for the new school year.

Reflexology I first came across reflexology some 30 years ago now. I went for a treatment and a few days later realised that the awful period pains I usually had, just hadn’t happened that month! After practicing reflexology for 18 years I’m still amazed regularly by the results my clients report! The amazement started early on in my training when my teacher, Pat Morrell got me attempting loosening up a lady’s neck by working gently on her big toe joint. A few minutes later I was called to the waiting room where the lady was looking over her shoulder, exclaiming that this was the first time that she had seen over her shoulder in years! Reflexology is a very ancient practice. As long ago as 2300 BC evidence was found in an Egyptian tomb. The therapy has really become popular in recent years and is now being researched across the world.

So how might Reflexology help you? When I practice Reflexology, I think of your feet as a REFLECTION of you… all of you is represented somewhere. Consequently when your feet are given a treatment, for me it is as if the whole of you has also had a treatment. This gives your body a chance to get itself in a better state of balance and what clients report is relaxation and feelings of wellbeing. Betty, in her 80’s went home after her first treatment and

spent the afternoon cleaning her car inside and out, so much was her energy boost!! Over the years I’ve treated lots of ladies who are struggling to get pregnant, often for no apparent reason. Some have been having fertility treatments and the reflexology session help them relax, sleep better and with better moods. On my website, I have letters from ladies who are convinced Reflexology helped them get pregnant when they had been trying or a long time. Reflexology in pregnancy many fans. Only yesterday, I treated a lady who was 41 weeks pregnant and had heard that reflexology might be able to help her give birth quickly and easily. I’m yet to hear how she got on! What’s a treatment like? This varies from therapist to therapist. I work very gently, clients often fall asleep. Some therapists work much more forcefully. You only need to remove your footwear and lie on a couch or recliner chair for about an hour. So, if you would like to try reflexology, give me a ring and I’ll tell you honestly if I feel it would help you! It is an ancient therapy with many loyal fans!
