PUT A SPRING IN YOUR STEP

Givenchy S/S 2019

You can build a whole outfit around a killer pair of shoes or a statement handbag, as accessories should never be an afterthought. Accessories can add punch with a pop of colour or a plastering of print. Never underestimate their power to lift an outfit and use them as a vehicle to showcase the latest catwalk must – haves. Accessories facilitate your creative processes – they are a stylist’s dream, as they add individuality and accents to any ensemble. They nip in, they hide and they add flourishes of fun. Read on to find Dress Doctor’s guide of which accessories to take notice of, but remember style is yours and yours alone so use it as an extension of self… Footwear “A girl can never have too many…” that’s right folks and the rush is on to preen your feet, as this summer’s sandals are barely there. Give your feet a breather and select shoes which are strappy and ultra-feminine. Choose a subtle colour palate and walk out with confidence with styles from thong to gladiatorial. As fashion is so diverse the other stand out option is the white trainer. These can be worn with practically anything from wedding dresses to cropped wide leg trousers. These are both comfortable and chic and totally timeless. Belts and Bags You can kill two birds here by opting for a belt bag, which everyone may remember from the 90’s going by another less desirable name! The 2019 update is genius, as they now come in beautiful leathers with multiple pockets and compartments. The best way to sport them is slung over your shoulder or worn on the hips for a spot of nostalgia. My advice where belts and bags are concerned is be daring and go for a wild card – pick that patterned “pony skin” belt or that mustard hobo bag, as these are the touches that scream summer and elevate that LBD.

NATIONAL SMILE MONTH National Smile Month is the largest and longest-running campaign to promote good oral health. Between 13th May and 13th June 2019, National Smile Month will promote positive messages and to engage people with maintaining a healthy mouth. For the best oral hygiene: Brush your teeth - At least two minutes twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. Make sure you clean your teeth before bed, as your mouth doesn't have the same salivary protection during the night as it does during the day. Floss - Each tooth has five sides; a toothbrush only cleans three sides. The other two sides are where most decay and foul odours originate. To clean

between the teeth requires dental floss or tiny interdental brushes. Clean your tongue - This is an important part of oral hygiene and works wonders with stale, smelly breath. You can use a tongue scraper or a toothbrush Give up smoking - Smoking dries the mouth, depleting the protective saliva. It also exposes your gums, soft palate and tongue to harmful and cancer-causing toxins, and it makes your breath smell. Use a mouthwash - This freshens breath and coats the teeth with a protective layer, helping to prevent plaque build-up. Avoid those which contain alcohol though. Cut out sugary foods and drinks - Sugary snacks feeds the bacteria in your mouth which ultimately break down your enamel and cause decay. Visit your dentist regularly! See page 19.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED Q. Is it possible to grow a Magnolia tree/ shrub in pots or tubs?. If so what size pot should be used? A. Yes, it’s highly possible to grow magnolia in pots, especially if you have a sheltered area away from frost that’s in sun or part shade. Select a pot grown, small tree, Magnolia grandiflora ‘Galissonniere’ would be a good choice. Choose a container only slightly larger that the pot it was grown in (you can always pot-on in a couple of years or so). Ensure good drainage by adding broken pots etc to the bottom of the pot. They will grow much better in acidic soil, Azalea or Camellia potting mix should be fine. Use a slow release fertilizer once a year, stating approx 6 months after potting. The surface roots are very easily damaged so best to avoid planting bulbs etc in the container. Q. I have inherited a garden with some old climbing roses that have all their growth at the top and long thick woody stems. When can I prune them and how low should I go? A. I’ve had the best luck for many years of spring pruning just as the lower part of the bush begins to green up. In your case, I’d recommend severe pruning. Rose bushes are hardy and difficult to damage by pruning. All of the wood, dead old stems should be removed, and all crossing canes should be pruned back to encourage air circulation and give better shape to your bushes. Additionally, I’ve had really good results in fertilization the roses by using the rose “spikes” one pushes into the ground around the base. One only has to do it once per season and the balance of the constituents is well designed for rose needs.

Q. I have a persistent intruder in my garden who sits under a bush and tries(sometimes successfully) to catch the birds visiting my bird table. I’ve tried all sorts, smelly plants, prickly plants and an electronic cat scarer. I’m the only one who can actually hear the cat scarer the cat curls up opposite it. Anymore ideas please? A. Sprinkle mothballs - available from most hardware stores - round the base of the table. The whiff of camphor should offend the cat’s delicate nose, and keep him away. Or try a water pistol for a more direct approach .. Meow!

AVOIDING EXAM STRESS HOW TO COME OUT ON TOP It used to be thought that being a child meant living through the happiest days of your life. How times change. Now, with league tables, SATS, and GCSEs, many children are falling victim to stress. So, if you (or your children, if you’re a parent reading this) are feeling pressured, with nowhere to turn, we have some great tips to help you get through exam season relatively unscathed. FIRST A FEW WORDS ABOUT STRESS. Stress is caused by the way our body responds to outside events, not necessarily by the events themselves. Some stress is good: adaptive stress releases adrenaline and helps us to rise to a challenge. It’s a temporary state and the body returns to normal very quickly. Problem stress occurs when the body stays in a heightened state for a prolonged period of time. It’s this type of stress which is causing problems for today’s children. Unlike when we were young and exams were end-of-term or even end-of year events, today’s child has seemingly relentless pressure to perform all year round with the result that they get very little down-time in which their body can recover from all that adrenaline. Not everyone suffers in the same way from stress. Some children seem to cope with it well. Research has shown that these children are generally more positive, have a good sense of humour and have parents who themselves deal well with potentially stressful situations. Finally, it’s useful to understand that while

exams are important, they are not worth making yourself ill over. You can always sit them again. EXAM BUSTING TIPS! Get plenty of rest - sleep is important Take regular breaks - you’ll stay fresher Leave time for some fun - when you’ve reached your revision goal reward yourself with an activity you enjoy Be realistic - Don’t overdo it Eat properly - avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee or coke. Exercise - It’s a great stress buster and improves your mood Be nice to yourself - Don’t beat yourself up about the things you haven’t done, be positive about all you’ve achieved Relax - When it all gets too much just chill for a while. You’ll feel much better.

FIT AT FIFTY AND BEYOND Attention over-fifties! When was the last time you visited a gym? You kind of know you should be making an effort, right? But do excuses such as ‘too expensive’; ‘lack of time’, and ‘no motivation’, sound familiar? Or maybe like me you have a pathological fear of lycra? But assuming you have no major health problems we can tackle this issue in bite-size chunks. Motivation. This is the key. You need a specific goal. Time. Look in your diary and you will find a spare hour at least once, or better still, two or three times a week. Cost. Can be as expensive or affordable as you want. A ladies-only gym with a personal trainer can be expensive, but a mixed gym membership in off-peak hours brings the cost down considerably and you can still get instruction and advice from an on-site trainer. Clothing. Lycra isn’t compulsory, but clothes must be comfortable, and this includes your undergarments. Remember, it’s not a fashion parade and chafed tender bits will put you off exercise forever! If you’re feeling hesitant repeat to yourself, “I can do this; I want a healthier and fitter me; I have the time to do this”. This is your Mantra. Say it often enough and you will start to believe it. Don’t be put off by glum folk who say it’s all a waste of time. Mix with positive people who will encourage you and improve your self-esteem. Metabolism slows down as you get older and this can lead to weight gain, but exercise helps keep weight on an even keel because you build lean muscle. You also improve your immune system and cardiovascular system; reduce bad cholesterol and boost brain-power. Research shows that only 32% of men and 21% of women aged over 50 in England undertake some form of regular exercise. In the over-65’s this drops to 17% of men and 12% of women, and in Scotland the figures are even less! The trainers at your Gym will discuss the best way to get you back into shape. If you haven’t exercised before or for a long while they will advise that you start slowly and build up gradually. Good instructors are enthusiastic and welltrained and will arrange a set of exercises to suit to you. Before you know it, you’ll have a routine e.g. 5 minutes bike, 5 minutes treadmill, 5 minutes weights. It will only take a few sessions before you improve and begin to compete with yourself. You’ll notice the

benefits of improved posture; glowing skin; improved breathing, zest and vitality almost immediately. We are all living longer but perhaps we should also be aiming to live more healthily too.
