Super Slimming Weight Loss Tea Causes a Stir! Yes, it’s really true folks.... an ancient Chinese Lotus Leaf tea or Yo Chi Tea as it is known, is becoming a global sensation! You see, this is simply no ordinary tea; far from it in fact, this is an amazing revolutionary tea blend which, because of its ancient Chinese herbal properties, is helping people everywhere to shed excess weight quickly, naturally and safely, simply by drinking two cups of it every day. Weight loss and detox could not be any easier than this, ever! Already, everyone wants to get their hands on this natural miracle worker and let’s face it why wouldn’t they? Already, J-Lo is singing its praises (sorry, we couldn’t resist that little pun!), blissfully sipping it till her heart’s content as she marvels at its ben-

efits in terms of weight loss. Oprah too is a firm believer in it so if it is good enough for two of the world’s biggest showbiz celebs, we are pretty sure it is more than just a little bit good! The good news? Yo Chi is available in Ireland, exclusive to Therapie Clinic. Clinics have reported waiting list around the country as Therapie have been struggling to meet the demand for tea both in store and online with many customers eager to aid new year weight loss using a more holistic approach. Commenting on its arrival at Therapie Clinic, Manager Sarah Cagney said: “The response to Yo Chi Tea so far has been fantastic, it’s flying off the shelves! The great thing about Yo Chi Tea is it’s 100% natural, and has been proven to be effective in

aiding weight loss and detox in a easy, safe way” The blend contains Lotus Leaf, Oolong green tea and number of other ancient Chinese herbs, all of which have been specially selected because of their proven natural ability to purify and cleanse the body, and to essentially act as a nuisance in stopping the body from storing up food as excess weight, and burn excess fat which is stored in the body! Drinking Yo Chi weight loss tea can help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Simply call them direct on 051 870 910 to order or find out more on www.yochitea.com.

There will be a re-enactment of Christ’s Passion through the streets of Waterford City on Good Friday. It will start from from Friary Church Gardens at 12 noon, and go through Peter Street and Olaf Street to visit Christ Church Cathedral; returning by Olaf Street and Peter Street through City Square; exiting at front entrance to Broad Street to John Roberts Square and finishing at the Cathedral of the Most Holy Trinity. The event has been organised by local parishes in conjunction with Children’s Group Link.

It’s there first and foremost in Ibiza , a collaboration with fellow travellers Sleaford Mods, which lays waste to the party island and its “rotten encrusted rocks”. Expect there to be shouted vocals, industrial strength beats and ferocious electronic sounds, that bought them to attention in the 1990s.

Based on the popular Modio app Tinkerplay will allow users to design and customize characters with the ability to 3D print them afterwards.

Waterford sounds

Gig it

Waterford hit: O Emperor

Each week the Waterford Mail aims to bring you the best of bands, groups and solo artists that Waterford has to offer. THE city by the Suir has been blessed with talent throughout the last fifty years. From the gentle crooning of a Val Doonican to a Cork Road born Ray O’ Sullivan who would change his name to Gilbert. To the vibrant alternative scene of the eighties – Groups like Nuero and Passive Factor A traditional scene which blossomed in the late seventies with groups like Davit’s Revised, Drops of Brandy and solo artists like Liam Merriman. Rock bands like Tasc, Purple Haze, who catered to the hard edge while Tweed and Darren Holden forged themselves a name on the national stage.

The new century produced a new glut of talent. Bands like Gorbachov, Skunk, Jam Tarts, King Kong Company, and Paulie Kool. Bigger things were achieved, and still are, by the majestic O’ Emperor. Half way through the new decade and the pub scene still remains relevant to groups. hough it has been a pity losing outlets like Electric Avenue on Michael Street, Twister Vics and indeed upstairs at The Forum which always showcased some pretty damn good artists, there still remains a handful of hope with bars like The Hub, Murphy’s and The Vic in Tramore to name a few that continue to feature upand-coming bands and the old favourites. I am hoping bands/artists will send in Press Releases to my email address (writerbk@ gmail.com) and in turn I will be featuring a whole host of local bands.

While We’re Young

SOMA Gallery on Lombard Street hosts an evening of music and art on Good Friday, with an outstanding line-up of artists and musicians. Band of Clouds, Chrome Yellow, Anna-Liese and Jenkinstown comprise an impressive line-up of live acts while the phenomenal Ian Dalton and Cailin Power will provide live vinyl sets with support from Darragh Dwyer and John Haggis. Featured artists include Tom Carey, Conor Campbell, Brian Sullivan and many more. Doors are 9pm to 11pm with a €10 cover charge. BYOB. This promises to be a sell-out event with tickets available on the door only, so arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Rated 15 A

Two Brothers ALMOST 20 years of playing together gives the Two Brothers, Vladimir and Anton Jablokov, an almost telepathic sense of musical intuition. Pushing each other on to greater heights of artistic expression, joyful harmony and thrilling clashes, this is sibling rivalry sound tracked like you have never heard it before. These duelling violinists are ably accompanied by the superb Adam Kuruc on piano, as they present their unique interpretations of jewels and gems from the rich heritage of central and Eastern European classical music, from Viennese trinkets, to Russian masterpieces, and adding some Romany fireworks for good measure. Vladimir is well known to music fans in Waterford. In the ten years he has lived and worked here, he has developed a loyal fan base for his musical adventures, from the crossover pop and jazz world of Classical Twist, to his festive family show Vladimir’s Viennese Christmas and being musical director on popular celebrations of the music of both Mario Lanza and Joseph Locke. The Two Brothers play Theatre Royal on Saturday 28 March at 8pm. Tickets are €22 and €20 conc and are available online and at the box office.

SIN’ for their supper ‘SIN’, an exhibition of artworks compiled from artists residing and working in the City of Waterford opens this Friday (April 3) at the Hive, Michael Street. This is the gallery’s fourth exhibition of 2015 and features a broad array of works from Waterford’s wealth of artistic talent including: Denise McAuliffe, Alastair Duckett, Sarah Mullane and many more. The launch night begins at 7pm, accompanied by acoustic sets from Band of Clouds, Chrome Yellow & Anna Liese and a drinks reception. The exhibition continues until April 16th opening Tuesday to Saturday 5pm til 9pm. Hive Emerging (est. 2008) is a not for profit arts space dedicated to the emerging arts. The arts space is run by artists for artists focusing predominately on group activities which competently provide artists with exposure, experience, networking, accreditation, income and sales. The Venue functions through a competitive group operating policy throughout every level of its management, staff, and volunteers. This policy ensures Hive is always as strong as its strongest members

On the stage Comedy Club HALF Cut Comedy nights have set up a new home in Downes Pub, Thomas Street and have some amazing stand up comedy shows coming up in the months of April and May. Beginning on Holy Thursday April 2nd, where it will be free entry, on stage will be very special guests Andy O’Regan, Laura Byrne and recent winner of Show Me The Funny 4 Danny Ryan. You will also see regular performers and organizers Kieran ‘Ruffles’ Walsh, Alan Conners and MC Sean Murphy. With the support of local businesses, arts scene and the network of comedians that exists within Ireland they hope to have Waterford laughing again. Shows begin at 9pm. Please come support your local arts scene and experience a different night out.

Everyone has mid-life crises. That’s why, While We’re Young, is so relatable. Noah Baumbach has given us a modern take on the moment when Generation X-ers find the markers of their youth like records, typewriters and laceup oxfords - now re-appropriated as ironic hipster accessories. It’s about realising that the world you thought you knew has been replaced by different values and outlooks, and what it means to sacrifice the old for the new (and what we lose by doing so). All these questions eloquently stem from the relationship between an older couple, Josh (Ben Stiller) and Cornelia (Naomi Watts), now in their 40s, and the 20-somethings Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried) who land in their universe.

Spring Rated 15 Spring is a difficult film to unpack. Co-directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead hide a serious left turn in their “Italian Vacation” drama, and when it arrives, it’s the type of rug pull that changes most of what you have just watched. But they take a long time to start hinting at the ultimate destination waiting for audiences with Spring, so I don’t feel it’s fair to lay too much on the table, even if you think you know where the movie’s going. The relationship drama sputters to a stop instead of sticking its landing. But it hides a few small joys for monster-movie fanatics looking for a throwback thrill.

City break: I love NYC! With four distinct seasons and many parades and festivals throughout the year, New York City offers a holiday as diverse as its residents. In ‘the city that never sleeps’, tourists can have the best in food and entertainment at their fingertips. The largest city in the U.S. is also one of the world’s most energetic. From a night in a museum

Marvelous Maldives

he Maldives archipelago is a hundred little pieces of paradise. Coral atolls, crystal-clear lagoons and swaying palm trees are calling your name. With luxuriously warm seas, swaying palm trees and crystal white sands, the Maldives is the picture-perfect holiday. The high visibility water allows you to see marine wildlife from up to five metres away, making it the ideal destination to explore underwater. The near-perfect weather all the year round, combined with the friendly locals, the wonderfully warm bathing waters, and plenty

of holiday activities, make your Maldives Holiday an increasingly popular choice for holiday breaks. The capital city is Malé. With a population of over 100,000 it’s as lively as it gets in the Maldives, with a wide range of amenities available throughout the city.

SOUTHERN ATOLLS True seclusion? This is where you’ll find it. Almost entirely untouched by man, the Southern Atolls are that ocean utopia from your dreams. NORTHERN ATOLLS

to a street-food festival, this metropolis has it all. ‘The Big Apple’ truly is shopping heaven. World famous department stores such as Bloomingdales, Sak’s 5th Avenue and Macy’s always steal the headlines, but look beyond and you’ll find incredible bargains at Century 21 or Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.

Easter eggstravaganza

Explore sunken shipwrecks, colourful coral, and a dazzling array of underwater wildlife. Barracuda, turtles, mantas, sharks, and thousands of colourful fish roam these parts. BEST TIME TO GO Temperatures in the Maldives hardly ever dip below 30°. Between May-October the islands see more rainfall than the other months, but probably the best time of year to visit is in between December and April as humidity levels are low, temperature are high and living is indescribably easy.

WHAT Easter celebration would be complete without an Easter egg hunt? Hop on over to the Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Park and join the Easter Bunny and friends for an ‘eggstra’ special event where you have to find all the clues, solve Easter Bunny’s puzzle and collect your egg.

There will also be prizes each afternoon of larger eggs for completing the egg hunt. To burn off lots of energy, there’s the “funky forest” indoor play centre, air hockey, fussball, cable run and pirate ship, crazy golf course, outdoor playground and a train trip through the Peatland Biodiversity Trail.

%< (0(5 .(//< AS the days grow longer and summer approaches, here are some ways to ensure your skin has the beach babe glow! FOOT SCRUB & CREAM You will no longer shy away from breaking out of your sandals if you treat your feet to a good scrub and foot cream or balm. Use a scrub to soften calloused heels, and give tired feet a nice pickme-up by using an extra thick, moisture intense, foot cream. EXFOLIATE YOUR LIPS The best way to achieve smooth lips is to scrub off the dead skin. This can be achieved with everyday items from the kitchen such as raw sugar. Firstly, place a small amount on your lips, then rub your lips together, much like you would even out lipstick. This will remove

expired cells. Remove with a towel. FACE MASK Hydrating masks will rejuvenate your skin and bring back that fresh glow after the long winter months of log fires and indoor heating which can make your skin dehydrated and tired looking. This extra boost of moisture also has the added benefit of allowing your make up to glide on and not take that tell tale ‘caked-on’ look. BODY MOISTURISER Using a good moisturiser is always worth it. It is never too late to take up this very beneficial habit. Your skin will thank you for it. CUTICLE OIL Keep cuticles soft and healthy with a daily application of cuticle oil and hand cream. Never Forget Every Body is Beautiful.

Irish lamb at its peak A UNIQUE product of its natural West Waterford terrain, Comeragh Mountain Lamb is prepared locally by an artisan butcher, dry aged and sold fresh in season. These factors combine to give this lamb its unique, delicately herbal flavour Irish mountain lamb, or ‘hill lamb’ is becoming one of the most sought after speciality foods produced in Ireland. Coming from areas such West Waterford, Connemara, and Kerry where a rugged terrain with heathers, wild herbs and grasses produces a distinctive texture and herbal flavour, Irish hill lamb is smaller and leaner than its lowland cousins and its season is much later, usually running from late summer to early winter. It is now recognised as a delicacy – and one with added health benefits at that

- and is increasingly seen under regional branding. Comeragh Mountain Lamb is owned and run by sixth generation shepherd William Drohan and his business partner Aidan Dunwoody. William Drohan’s Scottish BlackFaced lambs roam freely over extensive areas of mountains. Due to their terrain and natural rearing, they have significantly more omega 3 fatty acids in their

tissues than average lamb. Prepared locally by an artisan butcher and dry aged for ten days, Comeragh Mountain Lamb is sold in late summer through to winter as a fresh, not frozen, product. These factors combine to give this lamb its unique, delicately herbal flavour. Comeragh Mountain Lamb was singled out for a Euro-Toques award in 2011.
