Women In Racing Inc had previously supported those within the racing industry who has been affected by ill-health or death, as a result of their involvement in racing. Recipients included Riding for the Disabled, National Breast Cancer Foundation, and several jockeys or their families. As a result of this epidemic, it was felt by the two Directors of Women In Racing Inc, Jennifer Bartels and Baslyn Beel, an opportunity arose to become involved in the Equine Influenza Research by directing their fund-raising to this cause established through Griffith University, Gold Coast. The aim of this support has been to assist the Research Department through a series of fundraisers with all monies raised going to the Institute. Although only small donations are raised, (one little step) the important role of Women In Racing is to highlight the seriousness of the Influenza and the impact it has on people’s livelihood.

While women are often responsible for the household finances – budgets, paying the bills, balancing the cheque book etc – future financial considerations such as saving enough for retirement can take a backseat to more immediate issues. Avoiding exposure to other people’s debt. Unfortunately, many individuals become exposed to unforeseen debt as a consequence of being married to, living with, or having a family relationship with another person. Consumer Legal Credit Services suggests that as many as nine out of ten of these people are women. Unfortunately they often end up suffering the financial and emotional effects of paying their partner’s debt.

Top Ten

for Ladies

By Dale Olsson The Spring Racing Carnival is the perfect place for fashion fillies to strut

their stuff, and who doesn’t love the chance to don their finest and vie for the opportunity to win great prizes? Owner of The Hat Box, Dale Olsson, relishes the opportunity to use her stylist skills to assist her clients to co-ordinate their outfits from top to toe for major race days. And the results speak for themselves with regular Fashions on the Field wins at tracks all over Australia. So what should you wear to win and do you need more than just a great outfit? “Definitely,” agrees Dale. “It’s the whole package that impresses the judges.” So for those fashionistas wishing to take a punt on the fashion stakes, here are Dale’s top ten tips to help you get a head start. 1 A shade and style of outfit which suits your body type and colouring.

Do not choose a colour and design simply because it’s in fashion. 2 Make sure your hat or fascinator co-ordinates with your outfit and

doesn’t overpower it. 3 Never choose more than three colours in your ensemble. 4 Bags and shoes no longer need to be colour-matched, however, make

sure that every aspect of your ensemble blends well. For example, you could match your hat to your shoes or your bag to your dress. Dress according to the season. Even though the weather is warm, don’t flash too much flesh and felt hats are strictly for winter. Dress according to the occasion. Racewear is formal day wear, not cocktail wear. Pay attention to detail. It could be an interesting piece of jewellery or a handmade silk corsage that will catch the judge’s eye. Good grooming is essential as is deportment. Stand up straight and smile at the judges. An extroverted personality is a bonus. Judges love confidence – they like to see you having a good time.

Editor’s Note Herbal ACTIV Peel™ Is a fantastic peel that gives long lasting results. I had this peel done by Joy at ACTIVE SKIN SOLUTIONS at Paradise Point and found it to rejuvenate and refine my skin, leaving it smooth and very clean. It is a nontoxic peel, with no side effects, not harmful to the skin, and apart from the days where my skin felt mildly sunburnt, it was not uncomfortable at all. After five days, Joy gave me a beautiful post – peel facial which revealed my new skin. I would recommend this peel to anyone who is obligations for the next two – three days. During

for Summer

We all love summer but with the sunny season comes skin concerns like hyperpigmentation – the term used for brown spots, freckles and darker patches. The star in every woman’s beauty cabinet should be sunscreen. Choose one with a high spf and get into the habit of applying it daily. But, don’t expect it to do all the work. Cover up as much as possible and try to avoid the sun.

“Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world,” says Professor Ian Olver, CEO of Cancer Council Australia. Using sunscreen daily is an important part of any beauty routine to minimise the risk of premature ageing, sunspots and skin cancers. Visible signs of damage to the skin by exposure includes increased lines and wrinkling, irregular pigmentation, loss of elasticity and a variation in skin texture. Applying a sunscreen today can help prevent these conditions and possible major concerns further down the track.

New “Pearl” Laser Renews Skin’s Surface with Significantly Faster Results

repetitive treatments associated with today’s other technologies, is now available from Dr Craig Layt’s Clinic. “There is no other laser like this. It’s like a TCA peel with the controlled depth and full epidermal turnover” says Dr Layt. “My patients say their skin feels amazingly soft, like the new skin of a baby. With some other laser technologies, patients must wait up to six months to see the full results.” The Pearl procedure is ideal for patients of almost any age searching for a safe and uncomplicated way to restore the skin’s youthful look and feel in only one or two treatments. It is the answer for patients who want quicker results and less downtime than other procedures available today. How it works: • During the procedure, pulses of light are gently delivered to the epidermis. • The laser simultaneously sends heat to the 56

deeper layers of skin to stimulate longerterm collagen growth. • A natural protective layer forms on the skin. • The treated skin will look slightly sunburned. • On day three or four the protective layer will peel away, leaving new, healthy, vibrant skin with a ‘pearl-like’ glow, underneath. The Pearl laser, made by Cutera Inc, is TGA approved and is the first application of the 2,790nm laser wavelength for cosmetic dermatology. This advanced technology provides the most ideal balance between cosmetic benefit and minimal downtime. The Pearl and Pearl Fractional procedures are personally performed by Dr Layt.
