A tribute to
Dr Nas Khan OBE, an extremely kind and generous man
The former Jennings Group Boss was passionate about his work and was dedicated to helping others. His career in motors began as a graduate at the age of 22 when he was appointed as a sales executive at the company’s Jennings Ford dealership in Yarm Road, Stockton. Nas’s ambition and drive saw him go through a number of promotions. Nas was committed to supporting local charities and the community. For over 19 years the Jennings Group Branch have supported the Salvation Army. The annual Christmas Present Appeal utilised the Jennings Group branch as drop-off and collection points for gift donations. In 2006 Nas Khan established a registered Teesside based charity, The Emaan Foundation. This was as a result of the earthquake that shook Kashmir in Northern Pakistan. An event was held at a local venue in Middlesbrough & with the help of local businesses, family & friends they managed to raise £30,000. This was donated to various projects taking place in the areas worst affected by the earthquake. In 2015, Teesside Hospice benefited from a donation in excess of £13,000 from the Jennings Group. In 2016 and 2017 more than £250,000 was raised for the Great North Air Ambulance Service. The Great North Air Ambulance added: “Mr Khan was heavily committed to supporting local charities and the community, and since 2016 raised more than £250,000 for our charity. It was a pleasure to work with Mr Khan and our heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends.”
Please pay tribute to Nas and his legacy by supporting his charity, The Emaan Foundation.

In 2017 Nas was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his charity work and contribution to the economy. Nas was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Teesside University for his charitable accolades. Nas Khan was well loved and his work was always well appreciated. He will be greatly missed.

What is snoring? Snoring is caused by your tongue, mouth, throat or airways in your nose vibrating as you breathe. This vibration causes the snoring sounds.

precious Your eyesight is
We would like to wish our lovely customers a
wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year CHRISTMAS OPENING HOURS: Saturday 22nd December 9:15 - 5pm Closed Christmas Week Saturday 29th December 9:15 - 5pm Open as normal from: Wednesday 2nd January 9:15 - 5pm
Causes Snoring occurs because your body
relaxes when you sleep, so the airways narrow or may be restricted due to sleeping in certain positions. Snoring can be made worse if you; are overweight, smoke, drink too much alcohol, sleep on your back or sleep with your nose or mouth squished into your pillow.
How to ease symptoms
Simple lifestyle changes can help stop or reduce snoring. Extra pillows or a bed wedge to help keep you on your side and will elevate your head, keeping airways clear. Nasal sprays for snoring reduce swelling in the nose to keep air ways clear. In extreme cases it is recommended to try a mandibular advancement device, it is placed in the mouth when sleeping and brings your tongue forward to avoid the tongue blocking the throat.

Party Proof
Your Make The party season is upon us! You have worked hard all year, it’s time to let your hair down! When you’re having fun you don’t want to worry about your makeup smudging and sliding down your face. Here are our top tips to make your makeup last all night!
All eyes on you All about that base Oils from your skin can breakdown your makeup and make it slip and move. Make sure your skin is clean before applying an oil control primer. Do not apply your foundation straight away, wait five minutes to let your primer fully absorb into your skin, or your layers of products will slip and slide.
Eye primer is a must have! Eye primer gives your eyeshadow something to adhere to, making your eyeshadow look more pigmented. Primer acts as a barrier preventing oil and sweat dissolving your eye makeup.

Powder properly

For your powder to do it’s magic you need to make sure your foundation is fully dry before you apply powder, otherwise your foundation will be cakey and will not be set properly. Apply your foundation, work on your eye makeup and then Maybelline Matte apply powder, this will give Maker Pressed ensure your foundation Powder has set.

kiss proof lipstick Set it and forget it Setting spray is the finishing touch to lock your makeup into place, but be careful! not all setting sprays are designed to be long lasting. Some setting sprays are for different makeup concerns. Make sure you choose a setting spray that is designed to keep your makeup in place.
Smashbox Always On Liquid Mini Lipstick Duo RRP £12.00

Urban Decay - ‘All Nighter’ setting spray RRP £24.00
Party nibbles and drinks can make your lipstick fade fast. A lip stain or a matte liquid lipstick is the way to go, they are made to last! Avoid lip glosses or moisturising lipsticks as they are too greasy and have no hold. If you choose lipsticks in nude shades they are less obvious when they have worn off and require less upkeep than brighter colours.

MATCH YOUR LIPSTICK TO YOUR SKIN TONE
Whatever your skin tone the key to choosing a flattering lipstick is knowing whether your skin is cool or warm toned. Your underlying skin tone is important, as the wrong lipstick will make your skin look sallow or dull. All colours have a undertone, from bright lipsticks to nude shades, they all have a undertone. Match your skin undertone with a suitable lipstick undertone.
Cool toned skin has underlying pink and red tones. Match cool skin tones with cool toned colours. Blue based pinks and reds are always flattering.

by
li A n ay e H leD
I am a 25-year-old stunt and precision driver from Stokesley, Middlesbrough. I was brought up around motorsport with both parents competing in various disciplines and since being very young my ambition was to become a stunt driver. At the age of three, I was karting and riding quads, by eight years old I was driving manual cars and at 11 I started learning the skills needed to become a racing and rally driver. When I was 14 I began competing in Rallycross at British level and soon after went on to pursue my stunt driving career.
The Tarot card for December is The Fool.

At 19 years old I opened my own stunt driving experience day company; Stunt Drive Experience, which is the UK’s only purpose-built stunt driving arena located at Teesside Autodrome in Middlesbrough, teaching people to perform stunts themselves. Over 6 years Stunt Drive Experience has received two consecutive Certificates of Excellence and a 5/5 rating on TripAdvisor, it also has a 5-star rating and over 4,000 likes on Facebook. We cater for individuals just wanting a fun day out, corporate clients who are wanting a team building event and stag and hen parties. We also supply gift vouchers – the perfect gift this Christmas for any petrol head!
I also travel throughout the country performing stunt and precision driving displays and shows which include various stunts which I aim to impress a crowd.

As we approach the festive holidays and the New Year celebrations, The Fool card reminds us of the adventures and opportunities open to us from new beginnings. The Fool card is a symbol of life being an endless cycle of beginnings and endings. Our lives are shaped by our choices. Ask yourself what would you like to have come to an end in your life? This could be a poorly paid job, an unfulfilling relationship or an unhealthy habit. What would you like to have a fresh start at or what new life do you visualise for yourself? The Fool card symbolises a leap of faith so take a deep breath and let yourself leap into the new year with an open mind and enthusiasm!

n i g g o F y Hayle My name is
Introducing Hayley Foggin, owner, designer and manufacturer at Hallie Couture. Hayley specialises in made to measure ladies occasion wear, prom and bridesmaid dresses. I was born and educated in Teesside, I studied at Cleveland College of Art & Design for two years achieving a National Diploma in Fashion Design. This kickstarted my passion for fashion. Moving away from the River Tees to the River Trent, I moved to Nottingham to study BA Fashion Design at Nottingham Trent University. Inspired by designers like Elie Saab and Ralph & Russo, I developed my style using the skills and knowledge of fashion I learnt at University. Armed with my degree, on leaving university I swapped the River Trent at Nottingham for the River Tone at Taunton in Somerset to work for couture bridal designer, Sassi Holford. Working the whole “production line” from design, creation and hand finishing, I learnt a tremendous amount from my three years with Sassi, with particular emphasis on attention to detail and the exclusivity of bespoke design, “Made in Britain”. Always keen to take my own path, I gave a fond farewell to Sassi and returned to Teesside to set up Hallie Couture. Trading now for over a year, with literally hundreds of fabric samples to show, I offer bespoke design, made to measure, handmade creations for any occasion.

Educational support from Jigsaw Education (Tees Valley) T: 01642 909550
W: www.jigsaweducation.net Jigsaw Education (Tees Valley) is a new venture to support schools and children in providing independent education provision in the Tees Valley region. Created by three experienced teachers, Julie Philips, Stuart Booth and Andy Ford, Jigsaw Education has taken on two teaching studios in Middlesbrough and Darlington to support the growing number of vulnerable children requiring additional support and alternative teaching. To launch the business to schools and colleges, Jigsaw Education held an afternoon tea launch event at its Middlesbrough Centre, providing networking, advice and cream teas to over 20 SENCo, teachers and regional teaching assistants. The key note speaker, Sue Clarke MBE, who as a team member, gave a talk on ‘Balancing the Challenge’ which gave teachers resources to use in their classrooms and helped teachers to understand the wide range of services Jigsaw Education can offer to support children and their schools.

Rachel left her full time marketing job after seeing a gap in the market for this kind of app.
The service works with parents and schools and CAMHS to continue a momentum of care and learning in different environments to help aid the children and the teachers, schools. Jigsaw Education is able to work with small groups and one to one teaching as well as Outreach provision.
The service is perfect for people are unable to get to a salon because of disability or they may not have access to a car. The app is also great for busy mums who are unable to get a baby sitter.
The three teachers have a wealth of expertise in their own teaching fields as well as additional experience of working with Looked after Children and those with Special Educational Needs including autism. Julie Phillips, director says: ” Our aim is to provide education and emotional support on an interim basis, supporting emotional resilience with therapeutic support. We have over 50 years combined of working in education and we believe we have put together a professional team and a holistic educational service that will help Tees Valley schools hugely.” Jigsaw Education is already hard at work with a wide range of local authorities and individual schools in the Tees Valley area (and beyond) and see its services becoming a vital extension to the support offered externally from schools. Event attendee, Vicky Houlding from Laurence Jackson School in Guisborough said: “I am so glad I came, it’s been great to talk with other professionals and get some fresh ideas”. Jigsaw Education is confident of its approach and once a programme

23 year old Rachel Cotton, from Wynyard, has launched a innovative app, Bloom Mobile Beauty. The app allows you to book at home beauty appointments with a variety of specialised beauty therapists. Not all local salons offer home visits, now their is no need to leave your home for a beauty treatment. With a simple swipe of your touch screen a beautician will be on their way to your home. The app features live tracking so you can see when your
Similar apps are a hit in major cities such as London and New York, but Rachel says hers is the first in the North-east. Rachel has been recruiting an "elite team" of therapists offering treatments from nails to spray tans for a quick and easy athome pamper. "The software is set up with the beautician's credentials and skillset. "It allocates the job to the most suitable therapist, if they're having a busy day it will go to someone who doesn't have as many appointments. "It was a big leap but I know this is a great service for the customer," she added. "And for therapists, it could be a top-up with extra appointments or if they're struggling it could really be a benefit to their business. "There are lots of people who would really benefit from the service.” to read more about this fantastic service please visit the website.

D.I.Y Festive Mason Jar Decorations What you will need Large clear glass mason jar's Christmas sticker stencils Paint brushes Poster paint PVA glue Glitter LED candles or real candles
Making your own Christmas decorations is the perfect activity for spending quality family time together. Each family member can make their own festive mason jar. STEP 1 STENCILS There’s a huge selection of stencils available, you need to choose large stencil so that it creates a decent sized window for the candlelight to shine through. Or you could have multiple smaller stencils on your jar. Carefully apply the stencil and press firmly so that there are no air bubbles or folds, you want a secure crisp edge to stop paint and glitter getting underneath it ruining the design.
STEP 2 PAINT For your glitter jars to be opaque you need to do a coat of paint first. The paint and glitter should be the same colour. Apply the paint in a thin even coat all over the jar, excluding the lid and bottom. Carefully paint over the stencil, be gentle so that you do not disrupt the stencil.
STEP 3 GLITTER Now it’s the fun part! After the paint has fully dried apply a thin layer of PVA glue and then dust glitter onto the jar, this part is messy but fun! Keep sprinkling glitter on the jar until it is fully covered.
Step 4 REMOVE THE STENCIL When the jar has dried you can carefully peel off the stencil. You can place a real candle inside or a LED candle, they are a lot safer than a real candle and can be left unattended.

St. James Place £1,000 raised for St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation
Each year Callander Financial Planning Ltd invites clients to Sedgefield Races, but this year was a little different. The day was focused on raising money for the St. James Place Foundation. Several attendees who were connected to fantastic local charities, it was great to see so many wonderful organisations all working together to do some good! The money raised was matched by St James’s Place Wealth Management who then gave the money to the St. James’s Place Foundation who support local charities. As always, it was a brilliant and fun day. Callander Financial staff are normally looking after clients’ Savings, Investments and Pensions, the races day was a great opportunity to let our hair down and have some fun, all with a great cause in mind! Within just a few hours, the group of just 12 people managed to donate/raise £320 between them which was then brought up to £500 and then matched by St. James’s Place to reach a fantastic figure of £1,000!

BATISTE DRY SHAMPOO Original Clean & Classic 200ml RRP £2.99
John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Serum 50ml RRP £6.99
If you have longer hair avoid washing it everyday as this will dry the ends of your hair out. You don't have to opt for a man bun on your greasy hair days, dry shampoo is your saviour! A quick spritz of dry shampoo, brush it through and you will be left with hair that looks and feels clean. Bonus, there's so many scent choices out there, not all dry shampoo is girly and floral! There’s so many fresh scents to choose from.
If you have curly hair it can be hard to keep your hair looking gorgeously curly rather than frizzy. The trick is what type of brush you are using and when you are bushing it. Use wide tooth comb and only brush your hair when it is wet, do not brush your hair when dry as you will end up looking more like a poodle instead of achieving the Harry Styles curls you want. When your hair is wet smooth a tiny amount of serum through your hair, then brush it through with your wide tooth comb. Serum will prevent any frizz from humidity happening throughout the day, but only use a tiny amount of serum or your curls will get weighed down and greasy.
D E V SOL
Fudge Urban Anti-Gravity Powder Styler 10g RRP £7.29
You may be using the wrong kind of product for what you want. To achieve a fluffy, voluminous look that gives you height whilst still leaving your hair still soft and flexible you need to use a volume powder instead of a mousse. A mousse can make your hair feel crisp and stiff but a volume powder is quick, easy and gives your hair the boost you want whilst still leaving your hair fluffy and soft. Shake the volume powder into the palm of your hands, rub your palms together and then run it through your hair, this will distribute the product evenly.

Thirsty Thursday Stokesley celebrated its fourth birthday in style with prosecco and cupcakes a plenty!
Sue Thompson, Stokesley business owner set up the networking group with her colleague Anna Addison in 2014 and since December 2017, Sue has been running it single handily, continuing to expand the group with both Stokesley and surrounding village businesses. The monthly event launched in November 2014 at The Mill in Stokesley and has maintained the vital link with the pub over the last four years. Having the support of one of the successful businesses in Stokesley to provide a superb venue and delicious canapés for the networking event, has enabled Thirsty Thursday to remain free to all of its members and plan to stay that way in the future. Over the last four years the network group has been shortlisted multiple times and won a Hambleton Business award as well as being successful in applying for funding from Hambleton District Council and York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Enterprise Partnership to help support the thriving network group.
Sue Thompson, Thirsty Thursday founder said: “I am always delighted to see lots of local Stokesley businesses continuing to support Thirsty Thursday, we will continue to help local businesses to get together for as long as there is an interest. We know many businesses have benefitted from meeting, networking and talking together to help grow, support and improve their businesses. Hear's to the next four years.” Councillor Wilkinson, Deputy Leader of Hambleton District Council added: “Thirsty Thursday is a great example of how businesses and the Council work together. Our business networks are vital in our market towns and this council continues to support them. We wish congratulations on the birthday and say well done on all the hard work you have done supporting business in Hambleton.” The next Thirsty Thursday event will be in 2019 after a Christmas break and will continue with a variety of speakers to the group speaking on a wide range of business-related topics.
The event is free to attend and for more information and to register your businesses interest go online found online at www.thirstythursdaystokesley.co.uk
