Record Demand for Ancient Weight Loss Tea in the Midlands 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 just two cups of Yo Chi weight loss tea a day can help to increase weight loss and feel great!

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.

14 May 2015

The A to Z Guide of Alphabet Creams %\ (PHU .HOO\ #( 67</( ALPHABET creams are the front runner in the cosmetic world today. So this week we look at what exactly they are and the difference between them.

BB cream stands for blemish balm, and in Western markets, beauty balm. It is a cosmetic product that began in Asia where ladies would rather have lighter fair skin.

The BB cream originally contained zinc oxide to achieve this desired result.

However the product is adapted for the Western market to reflect popular opinion whereby ladies prefer a healthy glow.

Thus, the BB cream is most like a tinted moisturiser here.

CC creams generally stands for “colour correcting”. The products are meant to address issues like redness or pigmentation.

DD creams, the “daily defence” cream, contains a high SPF, is long-lasting and gives your skin a glow.

EE creams stand for “even effect”. Unlike its predecessors, the EE cream guarantees full coverage for anyone looking to coverup imperfections along with helping to correct it as well as containing SPF. No word yet on a FF cream, but it will have a lot to live up to!

Never forget Every Body is Beautiful.

Emer@waterfordmail.com

BB BOOST Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Daily All-In-One B.B. Blemish Balm Cream 50ml.

NATURAL BEAUTY: ALOE VERA THE ancient Egyptians called Aloe Vera as the ‘plant of immortality’ and used it in many skin remedies because of its healing properties. It’s truly considered as a miracle plant due to its various benefits and uses for health, skin and hair.

Many studies have been conducted to explore benefits of aloe vera plant and it has been established that aloe vera in fact does have several properties that are effective in treating a number of skin problems, from flaky or dry skin, skin aging, sun burn, acne, pimples, skin-tan, cosmetic ailments, hair and scalp problems to

many more.

It contains phytochemicals and other nutrients that make it one of the best natural ingredient to use for skin and hair beauty products.

It possesses great moisturising properties, so it’s really beneficial for dry skin. This natural moisturiser maintains the skin hydrated and enhances its elasticity.

When applied topically, it releases natural enzymes and essential vitamins on the skin to yield a deep moisturising effect that can restore pH balance as well.

It also supplies oxygen to the skin, which strengthens the skin tissues and maintains the skin healthy.

FOOD AND DRINK

14 May 2015

THE summer is drawing closer and this May bank holiday weekend should give us all a bit of time to sit back, relax and spend some quality time with family and friends.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for warm, dry weather so that we can pull the BBQ out of the shed, dust it off and fire up the coals to enjoy a food feast in the garden.

So, with that in mind, here are five top tips for enjoying a barbecue: 1. Clean your BBQ the night before your party So, you’ve got the patio furniture out of the garage, put the beers on ice and then discovered that you didn’t clean the BBQ properly before putting it away for winter.

This is why it is important to check that everything is clean and in working order the night before your party.

2. Don’t let the weather ruin your plans As we all know, the only thing predictable about the weather in this country is that it’s unpredictable. However, you shouldn’t let that ruin your barbecue plans.

If the skies are looking heavy then you can always bring the party inside – have your oven grill on and ready to use just in case of rain, while you’ll just need a table or work top for everyone to help themselves to salad and sides.

If you are determined to carry on with your barbecue outdoors then this can be done in a sheltered, well-ventilated area such as under a gazebo.

Food & drink Flame

on!

Michel Lynch, Sauvignon Blanc From France, 12.5% abv This is a little gem, often overlooked by its famous red brother. It has a zesty gooseberry and green apple nose and has a strong dry feel in the mouth too. The finish is long and very crisp and everything a Sauvignon Blanc should be. A glass (or two) served before a meal or with a crisp salad/seafood starter is in my view the way to get the best from it. Price: €13.99 a bottle.

Red: Rayuela, Cabernet Sauvignon From Chile, 13.5% abv

4. Leave meat to rest after cooking It’s very tempting to load up your plate and cut into your steak immediately after it has been taken off the grill, but for more flavoursome and juicy meat it’s important to let it rest for a couple of minutes.

5. Ask your friends to bring a dish Parties are all about getting friends and family together, which could leave you with an awful lot of work to do in order to put on a barbecue feast. You can take the weight off your shoulders by asking different groups to bring a different dish.

Harty oysters are extra ‘speciale’ JIM HARTY started growing oysters in Dungarvan Bay in 1985. He was the first to recognise that Dungarvan Bay had potential to produce oysters and the quality that was produced ‘speciale’ has marked Dungarvan as the one of the premier oyster producing areas in Europe.

The Harty family’s prime dairy land adjoins Dungarvan Bay, where the family has lived and worked for over six generations since 1835, farming the land in a sustainable way.

Their hard work has helped to ensure a beautifully pristine and healthy bay (which is an S.P.A. area – Special Protected Area).

Indeed, the overall health of the bio-diverse ecosystem has been this family’s raison d’être for generations. Sustainable

White:

Remember when you went out into the countryside picking blackcurrants/blackberries when you were younger?

Well, the nose on this wine is an absolute bucket of blackberries.

In the mouth it’s soft, jammy and dry. The finish is long and warming.

Serve it with beef stew/ casserole, or get a napkin and an old shirt on and enjoy with Spag Bol. Price: €13.99 a bottle.

3. Marinate meat for great flavour and tenderness Plain meat is delicious when given the barbecue treatment, but have you tried marinating your chicken, steak, fish or pork before putting it on the coals?

Taking the time to do this will add moisture to your food, therefore making it tenderer and more flavoursome.

oyster farming was a core family belief and a natural progression on their voyage to create the perfect Irish ‘speciale’ oyster.

In 1995 Dungarvan Shellfish teamed up with Tafforret s.a the biggest oysters producers in Marenne. This was the recognition that the oysters DSF produced was on par with the French oyster and in 2005 DSF was recognised as the top quality oyster in Ireland.

DSF has been at the forefront in advancing oyster growing techniques by developing new technology, such as a machine for cleaning seaweed off the bags and shaking the oysters in the bags, so promoting growth and good shape in the oyster.

46 ENTERTAINMENT

Waterford sounds Each week Brian Kennedy brings you the best of bands, groups and solo artists that Waterford has to offer.

Up in the attic!

LIVE music sessions or open mic nights and impromptu jams will always be of interest to new up-and-coming artists as well as seasoned old pro’s getting the lead out for a small selected crowd.

With this in mind, fair play to The Cove Bar using their ‘Attic Sessions’ as a new way to harness some Waterforian talent. Every Wednesday night the progressive pub is giving the popular watering hole as an outlet for raw talent.

For singers/songwriters alike, young and old. Fair play to Gerry, hopefully it’s going to become a real hot spot of talent. That’s 9pm every Wednesday night in The Cove Bar.

Waterford Mail 14 May 2015

On the stage Noc Noc, who’s there?

Most people of my age remember ‘The Reg’ when it closed up in the early 90s.

That in itself was a pity, as the venue had gained great reviews as a live music venue. When the renovated ‘Reg’ opened its doors last year (with practically the same people who last left it turning up) the spot hasn’t been long in returning to its musical roots and has hosted some fine bands.

This manifested itself last weekend with both The Renegades, a four-man combo who blend Alternative rock, Funk and Dance to straight up Pop covers in the Noc Noc Bar at the Reginald, and Thank Funk, a local powerhouse of a sevenpiece band who count Bowie, Jamiroquai, Mr. Jackson and even Earth Wind & Fire on their on their impressive CV of covers.

Again great to see local acts getting a local platform. In Electric Avenue and The Forum we have unnecessarily lost two prime venues for bands in recent years. Hopefully this old favourite in the shadow of Reginald’s Tower isn’t going anywhere soon.

Film review

The Bird Song Project

Hot Pursuit

The Bird Song Project is being devised and produced by Aileen Lambert and Michael Fortune for Bealtaine 2015.

Commissioned by Age & Opportunity/Bealtaine 2015, Michael and Aileen will work with thirty-four older traditional singers throughout the island of Ireland with the support of the Irish Traditional Music Archive and The National Library of Ireland.

The project takes the form of a themed research and performance project based around the collection and performance of songs, from within the Irish tradition, which reference birds or birdsong.

16th May, 8pm. Cúl na Sméar Hall, Dungarven, Waterford.

Tickets €5.

Rated TBC

Soweto Spiritual Singers This remarkable group from the beating heart of Soweto hit the limelight performing at the World Cup opening ceremony in 2010 collaborating with R.Kelly for the theme song

Signs of Victory.

Saturday May 16th. Theatre Royal – 8pm. Tickets: €20/€15.

Puss in Boots Would you trust a talking cat?

You never know, he might turn you from a pauper to a prince just like the hero of this story, brought to vivid life on our incredible sloping stage by Patrick Lynch from Cbeebies.

Using smoke and mirrors and hidden trapdoors, he’ll show you how this sure-footed feline foots both King and the Ogre to put his master at the top.

With a host of puppets, a working windmill and an avalanche of fruit and nuts come and see the classic furry tail - it’s the cats whiskers.

Ages 4+ Tuesday 19th – Wednesday 20th May. Theatre Royal, 9.30am and 11am. Tickets: €9.

Gig guide Cut Once The electronic duo, Cut Once, are currently working on their live show to showcase their debut self titled EP released

this month. The Cut Once EP consists of five tracks which will feature in their show.

Friday 15th May, Central Hall, Waterford – 9pm.

Tickets: €10.

Cooper (Reese Witherspoon), a by-the-book cop, follows in the footsteps of her father. Thanks to a situation, exacerbated by her lack of experience, she has disgraced her family name and has been assigned to manning the evidence desk ever since, until she finally gets the chance she deserves. It comes in the form of Felipe Riva, a drug boss, and his spitfire wife, Daniella (Sofia Vergara), who are going to testify in court against the ultimate drug kingpin, but they need to go into protective custody.

When Cooper and her partner come to take them to the courthouse they come under fire and both Mr. Riva and her partner are killed in the crossfire. So Cooper goes on the run with Mrs. Riva to keep her safe.

Maggie Rated 13

We first meet Wade (Arnie Schwarzenegger) on his way to the hospital to pick up his daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin), who had been bitten by a zombie a few weeks prior. He’s told she only has two more weeks before she’ll start losing her mind completely, at which point Wade will have to make a decision — either drop her off at the quarantine zone, which is said to be hell for those admitted; inject her with the drugs quarantine patients are given, though they are said to be excruciating; or, as his friend and doctor Verne says, “Make it quick.” The film is a softer character piece that takes a more intimate look at the most emotionally charged and lessdepicted aspect of the zombie apocalypse: watching a loved one as she turns.

THE PARENT FILES

Family life The Parent Files

By Heather Campbell

When no one is looking...

BRINGING up children has its challenges that’s for sure – it also has its rewards that make it all worthwhile: a jammy kiss from your two-year-old or that warm glow of relief/pride that you get when your son walks confidently into school waving and smiling at you, without having to be surgically removed from your leg in hysterics...

But, when things aren’t going so well, we could all probably benefit from a few parenting ‘hacks’. Anything which makes life a bit easier and we can spend more time doing the fun stuff with our children and less on the boring tasks we all hate.

Okay, so this list of parenting hacks may be tongue in cheek but I bet you already use at least one of these already.

The good homework guide

1. TANTRUM HACK Put an end to those annoying, embarrassing tantrums in shops and supermarkets by immediately buying them whatever it is they wanted.

2. FLOOR FOOD HACK Child distraught because their sweet/crisp/grape has fallen on the floor?

Apply the scientifically improbable five second rule.

Can be extended to eight second rule, 30 second rule or week old rule.

3. EXPENSIVE TOY HACK Children love toys, that’s a fact.

But children especially love toys which are very expensive.

If you also think they would benefit from said expensive toy then tell them to ‘ask grandma’.

4. POTTY TRAINING HACK We have all been stuck with a toddler that has been caught short.

With no toilets or portable potty in sight this can throw most parents into a tizzy.

Relax. Use a nappy bag, bottle, tub or tree stump (wee NOT poo) as a substitute toilet.

5. BOREDOM HACK Need your children to be quiet and sit still for a while?

Pass them your smartphone. You’re welcome.

6. DUSTING HACK Friends or family coming over and no time to clean?

Grab a baby wipe and sweep it over every surface.

Also good for cleaning phone screens after you have used hack 5.

7. CLEAN UP HACK Dirty face? Runny nose? Spilt drink? If there are no tissues to hand use this simple trick – clean it with your sleeve.

8. BEHAVIOUR HACK #1 Children can be difficult. It’s part of their job description.

Pick up your mobile phone and pretend to call Father Christmas. Hey presto, children behave.

9. FOOD HACK You try and teach your children to share but it gets annoying when you have to actually share your stuff – particularly delicious food items such as chocolate and crisps.

Look at your child while you’re eating and keep saying ‘oh, spicy’ with a disgusted look on your face.

That chocolate bar will be all yours.

10. SWEET WRAPPERS, TOY PACKAGING, MCDONALD’S TOYS, SPIT OUT FOOD – CHILDREN = MESS. No bin in sight? Shove it in your handbag.

T

the teacher know it will be completed by the end of the week rather than pushing a very tired child to finish it that evening.

1.Homework belongs to the child not the parent. Teach your child from entry to school that they are responsible for homework being done. Your role is to support your child with homework, but not to do it for them.

6.The National Parents Council offers a guide to the amount of time each age group should spend on homework, stating that in general the following guidelines apply: • Junior/Senior infants: No formal homework but perhaps some drawing, preliminary reading, matching shapes and pictures or listening to stories read by parents.

• First/Second class: 20-30 minutes.

• Third/Fourth class: 30-40 minutes.

• Fifth/Sixth class: 40-60 minutes.

HE nagging, the battles - do you dread school work as much as the kids do? Onefamily.ie has put together ‘10 Ways to Manage Homework with Primary School Children’ to help them hit the books and develop good study habits.

2.Create the necessary environment for your child to work in. They need a calm space with no TV or other distractions. Allow them time to relax when they come in from school and have a snack and change of clothes ready.

3.Always demonstrate an interest in your child’s homework, support them, champion them and stand up for them. You know them best, so encourage and support yet know when it’s time to stop. Know your limits and theirs.

4.Encourage your child if they feel it’s too hard. Acknowledge that it is hard but tell them you know they can do it. If you find yourself being negative with them, or saying something like, “Yes, you are no good at maths”, then it is advisable to look at your own issues with homework.

5.Set a start and end time for homework.

Sometimes you may feel your child has too much homework on a particular day. Let

7.When you are tired and your child is tired, it’s usually time to stop. Your level of patience will be lower. Remember that your relationship with your child is more important than homework.

8.Arguing late in the evening over homework leaves everyone unsettled and stressed which can lead to bedtime routines being disrupted.

9.Talk with the school/your child’s teacher if you feel your child cannot get their homework done without your help.

Your role should involve encouragement, checking it’s done, and testing them on key things such as spelling.

10.Sometimes children need time off too.

A school day is long and it is important to acknowledge all the work they have already done that day.

City break: Very Venice Prague City break: Prague

EGARDED as one of R Europe’s most beautiful cities, the stylish capital of the

Czech Republic is brimming with grand historical and cultural sights.

Its Gothic and Bohemian Baroque architecture provides a magical setting in which to experience Prague’s contemporary art, dining and entertainment.

Whether you seek a romantic walk along the river or late-night dancing in a trendy nightclub, Prague welcomes you.

Greece is

T

the word

HERE’S a Grecian gem just right for you. With ancient ruins, stunning beaches, traditional tavernas and vibrant resorts, you can be sure that there’s an island with a character and atmosphere that’s just right for you – and of course, a welcome that’s as warm as the climate. After all, Greece’s island (and islet) grand total exceeds 6,000.

The Olympic Games were spawned in ancient Greece, along with democracy and the fundamentals of philosophy, science and mathematics. The Greek civilisation is renowned for contributing many of the cultural building blocks that western civilisation is founded on.

Modern Greece is better known as a great holiday destination, rather than a centre of learning and culture. Today the country attracts visitors by the thousands by offering simple pleasures: delicious food and wine at reasonable prices, beautiful beaches and sunshine, quaint villages, a seemingly endless lacework of coastline, and little islands full of scenic surprises.

Greece and Greeks welcome with open arms the thousands of visitors that flock to admire their national assets every year - no one leaves without having been warmed, both by the sun and the hospitality.

GREECE IS BEST FOR...

HISTORY LOVERS: Discover Greece’s ancient world and mythology in its abundance of archaeological sites.

SUN-SEEKERS: With one of the Mediterranean’s hottest

and driest summers, you’re guaranteed to go home with a tan to make everyone jealous.

FOODIES: Enjoy freshly caught, lemony calamari and Greek delicacies made from local, home-grown produce.

PRAGUE IS BEST FOR...

ARTISTS: Visit the Mucha Museum for art nouveau masterworks from the Czech Republic’s most renowned painter, Alphonse Mucha.

FAMILIES: See swimming polar bears and walk through spacious animal habitats at the newly renovated Prague Zoo. COUPLES: Take a romantic sunset stroll across Charles Bridge and along the cobbled lanes of Lesser Town.
