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.

Album of the week Chasing Yesterday, Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds (approx €12.99) Opening with a minor chord strummed on an acoustic guitar somewhere off in the distance, Noel Gallagher’s second solo album, Chasing Yesterday, echoes Oasis’ second album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? - a conscious move from a rocker who’s never minded trading in memories of the past. He may be evoking his

Brit-pop heyday - “Lock All the Doors” surges with the cadences of “Morning Glory” even as it interpolates David Essex’s “Rock On” - but it amounts to no more than a wink because Gallagher knows he’s two decades older and perhaps a little wiser as well. Certainly, Chasing Yesterday is the work of a musician very comfortable with his craft.

Console Game of the week Dying Light PS4 (approx €69.99)

Movie of the Week Chappie – Directed by Neill Blomkamp In 2016, crime in Johannesburg has become rampant, and police robots are seen as the answer.

2B;NĂ&#x152;MĂ&#x2014;IHĂ&#x2014;NB?Ă&#x2014;G?HO SEAM BREAM AND COURGETTE SALAD If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough of winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one-pot wonders, try this. Mediterranean flavours pack a punch and it would work just as well with sea bass or tuna.

pinch oregano For the courgette salad 125ml/4fl oz extra virgin olive oil, 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 garlic clove, finely chopped, handful fresh mint, finely chopped, 4 small courgettes, 2-3 handfuls of rocket leaves

INGREDIENTS For the sea bream 4 x 200g/7oz sea bream fillets, 1 lemon, juice only, 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus extra for drizzling, 2 garlic cloves finely chopped, 1 tbsp capers, 4 anchovies, 200ml/7floz white wine, 300g/10Â˝oz cherry tomatoes halved, salt and freshly ground black pepper, 150g/5oz black olives, pitted, 1 handful parsley, finely chopped, 1

METHOD For the bream, place the fish fillets in a bowl, squeeze over the lemon juice and leave to marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, add the garlic, capers and anchovy fillets and cook over a medium heat for five minutes, until the anchovies have dissolved. Add half of the wine and simmer until it has evaporated, then add the tomatoes, squashing them slightly. Season with salt and

freshly ground black pepper and cook for five minutes, then add the olives and continue to cook for a further 10 minutes. Place the fish in an ovenproof dish and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the parsley, the remaining white wine, the sauce, a drizzle of olive oil and the oregano and cover with foil. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, removing the foil halfway through cooking. Meanwhile, make the salad. Whisk the olive oil and vinegar together with the garlic and mint in a small bowl and set aside. Trim the ends of the courgettes and, with a potato peeler or mandolin, slice them lengthways into waferthin slices. Add the courgette slices to the dressing, mix well and leave to marinate for at least 10 minutes. Mix the rocket with the courgettes and place on serving plates. When the fish is cooked, let it rest for one minute then serve alongside the salad.

CROSSWORDS It might help to think back to around November 10th last year. What allowances didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you make that have actually been holdings things back? One way or another it appears a fresh strategy is called for. A further possibility is that something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to do - alone - becomes a realistic possibility. You could be knocked off your axis by news from a large corporation, government or institution midweek. Tax or some other financial matter could be involved. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known this was coming since November last year. Even so you could feel undermined and unhappy. Security issues may be raised. It could be that you are asked to protect something valuable or that you become aware of just how precious something is to someone close. A further - and strong possibility - is the dawning realisation that a team simply has to work together better. Disruption at so many levels is highly likely over the next two weeks. Balancing work and career might not be at all easy. True some of this could be exciting. Yet itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also probable that your workload could double. That, in turn, could put you under some physical stress. Jupiter is still retrograde in your sign - an illusion that ends on April 12th. It would be understandable if you felt that for every two steps forward you were taking one back. Progress may not be as you would like it to be. Even so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probable that excitement will be generated midweek even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see full action for some time. It might help to think back to November last year and a creative project that began around that time, but â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Yet it seems that the concept is still hanging in the air and that midweek youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be called upon to revive it. A partner or very close friend announcing an unexpected change of plan.

At some level you could feel as though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been blasted into outer space midweek. It would be unsurprising if your emotional axis was shaken and if, as a result, you gave serious thought to long term (most likely, travel) plans. You might well enjoy the strategic planning that becomes necessary. This week you could arrive at the next phase of your life-journey. This one is most likely linked to steps taken in November last year. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different this time is that moving forward will surely require a complete change to your daily routine. This could be for sound health reasons. Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already had a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heads upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, confirmation of developments this week might require that you review plans for the rest of the month. It may be that your expertise is really needed. This may well mark the next phase of a chapter that began a little over two years ago. You could be somewhat shaken by news arriving midweek. Even though you may have thought you had a handle on developments, you could still be surprised by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed. You may even wonder if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing on a precipice, but â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;resistance is futileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and you will surely need to go with the flow. You might well need a pause to deliberate all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened in recent weeks - and even, maybe, the last two years. You need time to process developments. You need to be kind to yourself as you come to terms with developments but then take time from Thursday to ask questions. A large part of you probably knows that you need to play it cool and logically. Acting a part is rarely problematic for those of your sign. Yet this role is likely to be truly, truly taxing midweek - especially when financial matters are raised. This is likely to be a significant moment in both your career and in property matters.
