Light up your life with this seasons interior lighting trends

When thinking about the flow of space, ambience and atmosphere in your home, lighting can be one of the most fundamental elements.

Statement pops of colour (e.g. through lampshades) will add interest, while darker hues add a touch of luxury and cosiness.

If you’re starting from scratch or redecorating a room, create a plan that tackles the essentials. Think about what activities take place in each room (eating, relaxing, working), key features of a room you want to highlight.

Brighter lights can make you feel alert and awake, whereas the dimmer, softer lights can be relaxing and sleep-inducing. You can use lighting to subtly (or not so subtly) focus on a feature wall, architectural element or key furnishing (like your mahogany leather sofa or winged armchair).

The latest trend in interior lighting: Keep it simple and consistent.

When it comes to lighting, keep themes, colour schemes and material finishes consistent throughout the home.

Consider style, scale and even colour temperature of lights before you go rushing into design decisions. Too many different styles throughout the home can be confusing to the eye and will cause uneasiness. Neutral, lighter tones will open up space and make rooms appear larger.

Stylish & Affordable Welcome to Portrack Interiors Our showroom displays an abundance of Interior products; from Kitchens, Bathroom, bedrooms, tiles, plumbing & heating materials, gas/electric fires & surrounds and interior accessories.

We can design, supply and install a wide variety of high quality and luxurious products in your home.

Treating yourself to a regular Indian Head Massage is one of the best (and relaxing) hair care tips. Massaging the scalp stimulates blood flow to the follicles which delivers the nourishing nutrients needed to promote healthy hair growth.

Mash avocado and mix with egg yolk for a dry hair treatment, apply to damp hair and leave on for 15 mins before shampooing off several times using tepid water (not hot water). This tip may sound odd but will leave your hair gleaming.

W

hen I was asked recently by our Editor, Julie, if I would like to try out the LumiSpa from ageLoc, I nearly bit her head off for the cheek of it! But then, I’ve never had a great relationship with my skin so decided it was probably a good idea to give it a go. I get bored easily of the combinations of all the different face washes, exfoliators, special mitts and moisturisers I’m told I need to use just to keep on top of my skin. I don’t suffer with any skin conditions as such so that level of maintenance is just outrageous, all just to feel normal.

When I took the kit home and inspected all of it’s elements, I realised it was one complete set and that I could actually ditch all of my other bottles and creams. My kit came in a handy carry case which contains everything you will ever need, including a lotion for each different skin type.

To be redeemed in store by the end of March or online using code:

I began using it right away - twice a day for just 2 minutes. You only need to use the one lotion which goes on first and then the handheld device does all the work for you. It is designed to give the four main areas just 30 seconds of attention each, letting you know at each 30 second interval with an obvious change in rhythm so that you can move to the next area of your face. It came with 2 different heads - normal and firm. I went straight for the firm and after my first 2 minutes of cleansing, I felt such a difference in my skin. It was softer and smoother, which I’ll admit, you can achieve with your run of the mill exfoliating lotions but something I noticed that you can’t get with exfoliators was the brightness I could see in my skin. Colour was returning that I hadn’t even realised was gone. Under the surface, my skin felt healthier, I suppose, because it had been revitalised by the motion of the LumiSpa device. I also didn’t need to use my usual moisturiser afterwards as I had selected the right lotion for my skin type which didn’t dry out my skin. Also, because there were no tiny beads scratching at my skin, I had no rough patches afterwards which I sometimes experience with exfoliators.

It was quick and simple to use. Over the two weeks that I used the LumiSpa, it made mornings and evenings much more pleasant in the bathroom as I was finished so quickly. It was also fun to use with no complications - so much so that my 7 year old daughter had a go and loved the feeling it made on her face as it whizzed around.

I’d recommend the LumiSpa to anyone who feels they have tried everything and nothing seems to work as well as to those who would just like to claw back a little me-time from the daily rituals.

Put a bit of fun back into your skincare routine.

Suffell I am a mum of 3 and I run my own business part time with Arbonne.

We made the decision to build our business based on our interest in photography, Dan’s engineering experience and our love of technology. I had been a stay at home mum for three years after working as a medical secretary at our local hospital and was ready to go back to work.

We created a company allowing us to spend time together whilst doing something that we love. We are passionate about our work, our industry and enjoy keeping up to date with this fastmoving innovative technology.

We provide bespoke drone inspection and survey to industry that require regular or dynamic investigation around difficult to access areas that would usually require scaffold or rope access methods. This new technology is an innovative, safe and costeffective process. The newest way to carry out an inspection process.

We strive to assist in any way we can, creating bespoke action plans and utilising our high-tech drones to their maximum potential. Our company director has 20 + years’ experience within engineering roles allowing us to interpret any data acquired by the drone, which is a factor that places us ahead of our competitors.

I was introduced to the amazing Arbonne products a year prior by my good friend Janice and loved the way my skin felt after using them. Arbonne offers skincare, cosmetics and nutritional products with a pure, safe and beneficial philosophy. The products are vegan certified and formulated with safe botanically based ingredients, they don’t contain any parabens, mineral oil and SLS to name a few.

I was slightly sceptical when I started as an independent consultant with Arbonne, I really didn’t think I had any enough time to run my own business. Arbonne however, has offered me the opportunity to be my own boss working part time around my family commitments. I now have my plan B. I earn extra cash each month, use fabulous products that benefit my health and best of all, I help others to do the same.

If you would like to know more about the Arbonne business opportunity and how it could be a fit for you or for information on the amazing products (or both) please get in touch.

s e n o J Nichola My Name is

Cards with Nic

My name is Nichola and I am a ‘mummy in business’.

This was a successful direct selling business for me, selling greeting cards, which came to an end in March 2017 due to the company going ‘bust’. I discovered a working world of being a ‘stall holder’. Once I received the news that Phoenix was going, I explored many different avenues at ‘The Harrogate Trade Show’.

This is where I discovered ‘The Harrogate Candle Company’, ‘The Pop-Out Card company’ and Sue Fenlon and Sally Anson (Sweet Designs). The products that I stock and sell are handmade by local people. i.e, Harrogate, Newcastle and Northumberland. What I love most is that I am able to pick up the phone and have a chat with my suppliers, they are the people that put their heart into designing all everything.

I thoroughly enjoy my customer contact and I get a real buzz from handing out my fragrances cards to every person that walks past to see their reaction. I can now gauge if it’s a hit or not. I can always find the right fragrance to suit you, be it a candle or a diffuser.

My first huge event is on 23rd March – 25th March at York Racecourse. It’s the ‘Living North Spring Fair’. I am very excited to be exhibiting at this venue for 3 days and hope it’s the start of much more to come.

If you would be interested in having me as a stall holder to support any fundraising events, at home for a candle/card party then please don’t hesitate to get in touch, I would love to hear from you and where you think I could help and support you.

Mary Marti at Rockliffe Hall

Mary Martin is a self-taught, award winning fashion designer setting fearless trends and taking London and Africa by storm. Mary is still studying fashion in London, which is remarkable considering she was asked to headline the Mercedes Benz International Fashion Week 2015 in Accra Ghana, and as a result was honoured as the best designer in Africa.

Mary has a faithful fan-base of celebrities who adore her outrageous, bespoke designs and her self-produced catwalk shows in Mayfair are always a sell-out. A drive to succeed and a desire to ensure longevity in her designs, Mary is on a mission to ensure her designs surpass her as an individual. A tall order, as Mary’s personality shines through everything she does.

Her Mary Martin London collections include a tribute to the late “David Bowie”, the “Cecil the Lion Dress” that went viral and was also featured on the BBC News 2015 and the Apprentice 2018.

I loved my mother.

She was beautiful, practical and very, very fertile.

I was one of thirteen children and being the seventh I was the one in the middle.

Now you’d think that the middle one would be cocooned and comforted by the six children either side and it would be a comfortable place to be.

But I felt invisible; the one who got all the castoffs. When it came to clothes they went to Lorna to Grace to Faith to Norma to Sybil to me and by the time those clothes 36

came to me while they were clean they were a little holy and I chose the word ‘holy’ very deliberately.

One item of clothing I always got fresh were new homemade knickers. I would sit on the chaise lounge and watch my mother as she sewed the elastic into the waist.

Now while I was made to sit there in silence because I often played up, I absorbed everything my mother did in terms of threading the cotton in the sewing machine and the fabrics she used.

This form of discipline was the life lesson that has made me into the designer I am now.

I’m glad of my time sat stern faced, arms folded watching her because I didn’t know my time with her was limited.

I did play up because I wanted attention. www.gossip-uk.com

Celebrities including singer Heather Small and Brenda Emanus are visitors to my home. I’ve shown at London Fashion Week and won international awards including best designer in Africa.

And I’ve learned that when people ‘borrow’ my outfits they often don’t return. I’m become more commercially savvy now and chance encounters introduced me to Andrew Eborn of Octopus TV and Hartlepool-born broadcaster Sarah Lowther who I am now working with to ensure brand management and collection protection.

MIDDLESBROUGH They say first impressions can last a lifetime and we certainly weren’t disappointed with our first time sampling the Caribbean Cuisine at Turtle Bay. Greeted by laid-back Caribbean vibes complimented by the quirky decor and lots of comfy tables and seats, we felt instantly welcome and were shown straight to a table.

We then ordered a selection of dishes from the wide choice available and loved the variety of spices, jerks and flavourings that were available with many of the dishes. We also have to commend the dishes for vegetarians and vegans which was in no way limited or inferior to the main menu when it came to choice or flavours. Top picks of the night included the Crispy Okra, Goat Curry, Pulled Pork Kingston Toasties and for vegetarians and vegans the Spiced Chickpea Wrap.

Another pleasant surprise (especially to the parents of the group) was the children menu. In place of the usual nuggets, Turtle Bay offers burgers, grilled chicken and cheese, tomato and chicken flatbreads on its little turtle menu which the children fully embraced along with their free crayons and activity sheets.

All in all, the experience was amazing, with the friendly and enthusiastic staff setting the atmosphere from the second we walked through the door. Whether it be a date night, a celebration meal or even just dinner with the family, Turtle Bay is without a doubt it’s the ideal restaurant for any occasion.

Easter is a fun time of year where people can get together and celebrate good food. Here at Hutchinson Hobbs we strive to provide you with top quality meat whether it is lamb or something different this year, fresh vegetables and much more.

Traditionally lamb is eaten at Easter and our butchers have some great lamb that comes from a local farmer just down the road, in Appleton Wiske. If you are looking to have a hassle free Easter dinner why not pick up some frozen vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes from our field fare section.

Hot cross buns from Stonehouse bakery and an Easter simnel cake is a must at Easter and will add to the Easter celebration.

And how about having some fun with the kids? Have you tried decorating some of our large white duck eggs, or brown chicken eggs. We can even get you some tiny quail eggs in if you want to go for all the sizes.

Serving up a mouthwatering variety of sourdough pizzas,pastas,salads,cured meats and cheese the restaurant has already welcomed a host of diners who have complimented the eatery on its unique decor and delicious dishes.

With satisfied customers leaving such warm reviews of a lovely chilled atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and an excellent selection of food and drink, it’s clear that Scrann is going to be a wonderful addition to the upcoming village of Norton.

Spring can be a very exciting, entertaining time for all pets, whether they be puppies, adults or seniors. There are, however, hazards lurking inside and outside in which responsible owners must be mindful of.

When the weather starts to warm up make sure you check for ticks and if you use herbal flea treatments then now is the time to start using these again.

Gossip meets Matty Street of

TeamKarting The UK’s Highest Rated Indoor Karting Track As the 21-year-old CEO of TeamKarting, Matthew Street is immensely passionate about motorsport. Having competed from the age of 12 he tells us how Motorsport can be a costly sport where talented drivers don’t always make it without enough financial backing and support. Matty comes from a workingclass family so at the age of 14 when he won a £30k scholarship, doors were suddenly swung open for him.

Early in his school career, Matty was diagnosed with dyslexia/dyspraxia and on the verge of Aspergers Syndrome (a form of autism). Predicted very poor grades and expected to achieve nothing, a love for motorsport helped him to deal with this and to achieve academic success.

Finishing school with 8 GCSEs, Matty then completed a Level 3 Motorsport engineering course in college which led to University where he studied Motorsport Management & Logistics.

TeamKarting was Matty’s next stop as a part-time track marshal but he had bigger ambitions and within ten months, had worked his way up to Executive Manager. At just 19, he was overseeing the running of the full company and managing a team of 25 staff.

In July 2017, Matthew bought out TeamKarting and became CEO at the age of just 21!

Having a strong desire to help young people, including those with disabilities, his most recent project was Girls In Motorsport, which was backed by the royal family, and led Matty to a meeting with Prince Harry in 2016.

They have also hosted a Racing With Autism Day and recently won an award for being Autism Friendly and were presented with it at the Autism Heroes Awards 2017.

A deep sense of social responsibility is what drives Matty’s reinvestment into the grassroots of motorsport, helping to make it more inclusive to all irrespective of physical, mental, academic and cultural background and offering a number of bespoke sessions to meet a variety of needs.

RED CARPET

treatment for the all new

VOLVO XC40 at Stockton showroom

H

Household stars including Phillip Schofield, Julia Roberts and Robert De Niro lined up to celebrate Volvo’s latest new model during a special launch event in Stockton.

But it was only cardboard cut-outs of the stars that lined the red carpet during the evening celebration at Mill Volvo’s showroom on Preston Farm, attended by 150 Teessiders.

Guests got a first glimpse of Volvo’s impressive new family SUV model, the XC40, which has already been named Car of the Year 2018 by Whatcar? magazine, dubbed Britain’s biggest and best car buyer’s guide.

Mill Volvo’s North East operations director Jeff Tabb, who’s based at the firm’s Stockton dealership, says he expects the new XC40 to help Mill sell 3,000 new units across its range in the region this year.

“It has already been an excellent start to the year,” he said.

“The franchise has ambitions to do 48,000 units nationwide this year, and we expect to represent 3,000 of those across the whole range in the North-East alone.

“We’ve already hit our targets in the first two months of the year, so there’s a real confidence around the franchise at the moment.”

The XC40 was unveiled by all Volvo dealerships nationwide during a simultaneous launch night.

Sitting beneath Volvo’s XC60 and XC90, the arrival of the new XC40 compact SUV – an all-new segment for Volvo – sees the company line up with three SUV offerings for the first time in its history.

“We went for the big launch due to the significance of the opportunity for this car – which is a premium, compact SUV, a type of car we haven’t offered before,” added Tabb.

“The XC60 and XC90 are leaders in their segments and we’d expect this to follow suit.

“For a lot of people it’s the car they’ve been waiting for – drivers who don’t anything too big, but giving them that versatility and ride height that makes for a good vehicle around town, and this is the car fits that bill.”

LAGONDA VISION CONCEPT A NEW

ASTON M

A

ston Martin is proud to present Lagonda Vision Concept, marking the beginning of a new range of state of the art, emission-free luxury vehicles.

Production is planned to start in 2021.

Lagonda aims to be the world’s first zero emission luxury brand. It will confound traditional thinking and take full advantage of the latest advances in electrification and autonomous driving technologies, which amount to the biggest revolution in landbound transportation since the invention of the car.

Lagonda will show how true luxury and modern design, far from being diametrically opposed interests, can exist in total harmony and enhance each other’s most desirable characteristics.

‘We believe people associate luxury in their cars with a certain traditional and even old-fashioned approach because, to date, that is all that’s been available to them,’ commented Aston Martin President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andy Palmer.

‘Lagonda exists to challenge that thinking and prove that being modern and luxurious are not mutually exclusive concepts.’

Lagonda ‘Vision Concept’ The Lagonda ‘Vision Concept’ is a near future study that previews the design language that could potentially be seen in production Lagonda models as soon as 2021. Alongside the new concept, two 40 per cent scale models will be displayed, one coupe concept and one SUV concept, to illustrate how the

EPT A NEW KIND OF LUXURY MOBILITY

N MARTIN

Lagonda design language could be adapted for the future.

‘The Lagonda Vision Concept is an incredibly bold design statement,’ said Aston Martin EVP and Chief Creative Officer, Marek Reichman. ‘The electrification revolution means there is no longer any need for horse and carriage design, and our new concept shows the scope of design opportunities that open up once you no longer need to provide space for a large power source directly in front of the passenger compartment. In the Lagonda Vision Concept, the batteries occupy the floor of the car. Everything above that line belongs to us.’

The Vision Concept showcases Lagonda design ingenuity. Both far shorter and lower than traditional limousines, the exceptional space efficiency that has been achieved by its radical design means there is room inside for four adults, each of two metres height or more, to stretch out in luxurious comfort.

Lagonda has no need to occupy a huge amount of road space or make an ostentatious wealth statement,’ continues Reichman. ‘It is like comparing Concorde to the first class cabin of a conventional airliner. By ditching traditional architecture like Parthenon grilles and massive frontal areas, and by using electrical power, Lagonda design can still be distinctive and luxurious without being grandiose. It offers its customers a thoroughly modern, emission-free form of super-luxurious mobility.’

Far more than any orthodox design, the Lagonda Vision Concept was designed from the inside out because that is what the architecture allows.

With no need to package a vast internal combustion engine, gearbox and transmission, Lagonda’s designers could optimise the interior down to the smallest detail and then build up the exterior of the car around it.
