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 benefits 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 lotus leaf Yo Chi weight loss tea a day over a 14 day period will help to increase weight loss by up to 50%! Yo Chi Tea is exclusively available from Therapie Clinic nationwide, including 31 Barronstrand Street in Waterford. Simply call them direct on 1890 650 750, to find out more or to order. For more information on Yo Chi tea and the 14 day detox you can visit www.yochitea.com.

)LYH 5LYHUV ,UHODQG 3XEOLF 6HFWRU 0DJD]LQH $ZDUG ZLQQHU IRU VHUYLFHV WR WKH SXEOLF VHFWRU Five Rivers Ireland recruit, train and support foster parents and foster children. Committed to ensuring that there are families who can meet the needs of children and young people who cannot live at home, they work in partnership with young people, foster families, birth families and the Tusla Foster Care Service to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people. Over the last 12 months Five Rivers Ireland has facilitated foster families to over 100 children and young people as well as providing emergency placements for children and young people who come into care out of hours. Director Deirdre McDonagh takes a holistic view to each individual in her care, “We have supported children and young people in our care to achieve their full potential, with a number of young adults now engaged in training or third level education. We have expanded our training and therapeutic services for foster families and the children and young people they care for.” This year Five Rivers Ireland purchased a property in Kilkenny with a view to expanding support and training serv-
ices as well as developing a hub for foster carers in the south east region. The house in Kilkenny will also be an ideal venue to support children in care to maintain contact with their birth families. Since the financial crisis hit, the resources available to the Child and Family Agency to safeguard children and to provide for children in care have been reduced significantly. This has meant that areas are more reluctant to use private agencies. Five Rivers Ireland has always been committed to providing high quality services that are cost effective and represent good value for money. “We have sought to achieve savings in areas which do not impact on the quality of service delivery to foster families. In doing this we have been able to reduce the cost of using our service significantly to Tusla. We believe in investing in young people from the outset, as the return will be felt for many years to come” explains McDonagh. Five Rivers Ireland’s focus is on growing the three hubs in Dublin, Kilkenny and Cork from which therapeutic, training
and support to foster families and the children in their care can operate. “Our aim is to be able to provide a complete wraparound service to meet the growing and complex needs of children and young people coming into care” says McDonagh. Five Rivers Ireland operates within all current legislation and national standards. This includes operating in accordance with Children First, adhering to the National Standards for Foster Care and the Child Care Regulations. Policies and procedures include child protection policies and recruitment procedures for staff and foster carers which are compliant with legislation and national standards. There is also a commitment in the employee handbook and foster carers’ handbook to the support and development of staff and families through quality supervision and training. All staff members are provided with regular supervision and there is significant access to internal and external training enabling staff to update their skills and remain well informed and capable of doing their job. A number
of employees have been supported to complete training in psychotherapy, play therapy and management up to masters and post graduate level. As part of annual appraisals, training objectives are agreed for employees. Five Rivers Ireland aims to provide high quality foster care placements for children and young people who cannot live with their own families. McDonagh concludes, “Our objective is to expand our education, training and therapeutic services to enable us to support children and young people with more complex needs. We are committed to working alongside Tusla providing targeted support and interventions to ensure that resources are used most effectively and to achieve the best outcomes for children and young people.” Over the next five years, Five Rivers Ireland aims to develop central hubs from which enhanced foster care services can be provided. The goal is to ensure that children and young people placed with families have good care experiences and achieve positive outcomes. www.fiveriversireland.ie

Name: 5(*,1$ 0$1*$1 Company: Bookaroom.ie Position: Managing Director
Services provided by company: Sales, Lettings, Management, Fit-Out Location: Waterford City & County
What was your first proper job?
As a businesswoman, describe your three main qualities.
Receptionist at the Forte Hotel, Dublin.
Empathy, Integrity, honesty. And humour!
Briefly chart your career to date...
And your worst quality?
I completed a secretarial course in a private college in Limerick, worked with Forte Hotels in Ireland and the UK for 7 years, came home to Ireland, and moved to Waterford in 1995 on Good Friday to set up and manage an aparthotel (Adelphi Wharf Suites). In 1997 I set up Book A Room, the South East’s first Property Letting and Management company.
What inspires you to go to work every day? I love my job, I’m extremely lucky. I love the interaction with my team and customers. No day is the same and the time just flies. I’m a problem solver by nature.
Would you say you live to work, or work to live? A bit of both. I’m very conscious of getting the balance right since I had my little boy 6 years ago. I get to bring him to school, have lunch with him and I take one half day off every week. Running your own business means you are always thinking about the business. It’s a way of life. I can bring my son to work sometimes and he shows at least two properties every week with me. He understands that without the work we can’t have nice things in life. Recently he came to a meeting in the bank because our child minder was sick. You just get on with it.
What advice would you give to a young woman aspiring to your position as a businesswoman? Feel the fear and do it anyway, and fake it until you make it. Hire on attitude, its everything. Always serve your customers, that’s our job in business.
27
I have high expectations of people.
What has been the most satisfying moment in your career? I’ve had loads, but selling my first property last year was way up there.
What has been your biggest mistake in the business? Too many to count. One that stands out, is not investing in quality software in the early days. Now I get how vital that is.
If you could work in a completely different field of business, what would it be? Probably PR and Event Management. I love dealing with people and logistics is my thing. Thankfully I love my job so I wouldn’t change that and I work with great people.
If you could employ anybody from the world of business who would it be and why? It would be Anthony Robbins. He is hugely inspiring and I now get that to be successful you need to motivate, coach and guide your team. Clarity in communication is powerful.
What are your aspirations for your business for the coming five years? I’m very excited about the future of Bookaroom.ie. We had a fantastic year last year with lettings. We have expanded into sales in the last six months and have exceeded our targets. I hired a business coach over a year ago and he is working with me and the team to achieve our business and personal goals. We work hard and enjoy the buzz of finding people homes.

+$,5 %($87< 0$.( 83 Name: NICOLA MURPHY Position: Principal Company: Style Academy
Services provided by company: Training, Hair & Beauty Location: Unit 5, Waterford Business Park, Cork Road, Waterford
What was your first proper job? My first proper job was working in Crazy Prices supermarket at night and weekends while studying.
Briefly chart your career to date... I trained in Beauty Therapy at WCFE in1999. I decided to move to Dublin straight afterwards where I quickly climbed up through the ranks to a Senior Therapist. I opened my first training college in 2005 specialising in Beauty, Complementary and Spots qualifications. In 2010 I began working as a Quality Assurance Verifier in Hair & Beauty for awarding body VTCT and as an International examiner for Beauty awarding body CIBTAC. In 2011 I joined forces with Style Parlor Salon supplies to open Style Academy in Waterford and Wexford.
Would you say you live to work, or work to live? A bit of both, I travel a lot with my work which can be quite tiring but on the positive side I have the opportunity to travel outside of Ireland.
What advice would you give to a young woman aspiring to your position as a businesswoman? Preparation and research is the key. You must know your target market and decide is there a need for your service or product. I have seen training trends change dramatically over the years therefore you must move with trends or you will get left behind.
What inspires you to go to work every day? Seeing students grow in confidence and develop their passion for their chosen career
As a businesswoman, describe your three main qualities. Resilient and capable of dealing with both the ‘highs and lows’ of running a business. Ambitious and driven. Positive attitude.
And your worst quality? I find it hard to say ‘no’.
What has been the most satisfying moment in your career? Representing CIBTAC in Japan as a Beauty examiner. Also winning Wexford Female Entrepreneur of the Year at the age of 25.

Short Courses If you could work in a completely different field of business, what would it be? I am fascinated by the world of medicine
If you could employ anybody from the world of business who would it be and why? Michael O’ Leary, I love the way he can manipulate the media to his company’s benefit in a tongue and cheek manner.

Stir in the olives, capers, chilli flakes and salt, then add the tinned tomatoes and red wine (or stock). Bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering. Simmer very gently for 40-45 minutes, stirring regularly, until the sauce has thickened. Once the sauce has been cooking for 30 minutes, half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the packet instructions, until al dente.
When the pasta is cooked to your liking, reserve 3 tablespoons of the cooking water in a bowl, then drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the saucepan. Add half of the sauce to the cooked spaghetti, then stir in the reserved cooking water. Continue to stir the mixture carefully until the spaghetti is coated in the sauce. Season, to taste, with freshly ground black pepper. To serve, transfer the spaghetti and sauce to a warmed serving dish, then pour over the remaining sauce. Drizzle over the remaining tablespoon of oil and garnish with the parsley, if using. Serve immediately.

CROSSWORDS The first letter of each answer is written next to its clue in alphabetical order. One letter has already been entered. Can you find the words then fit them correctly into the grid?
Mercury is now retrograde and, on Tuesday, Venus changes signs to travel through neighbouring Pisces. Style-wise you could be all over the place. In the fashion stakes, this is the week for accessories: adapting your style as needed. That’s as true with your Internet presence as it is with physical appearance. The First Quarter Moon on Tuesday is in your sign and coincides with Venus’ move into Pisces. Whenever planets change signs, there is usually discernible ‘change of gear or vibration’. For you, this could coincide with the need to adapt your image - and even, maybe, your Internet presence. Recall that Mercury is retrograde. This isn’t necessarily a ‘bad’ thing as the adjustment in pace usually allows for re-think and improvement. That’s likely during the first half of this week anyway when someone who’s been going hell-for-leather realises that the route they’ve chosen isn’t the best. Tuesday’s First Quarter Moon coincides with Venus’ move into another of the Water signs. Your creative flair might well surface. Indeed, your particular magic and genius could be SO much on display that you’re courted by a group you’ve only recently been drawn to. Tuesday’s First Quarter Moon is in another of the Fixed signs and coincides with Venus’ move into Pisces. At the emotional level you could reach a significant wave. No doubt this will affect work and career matters. One (strong) possibility is that you’ll be thrown an idea or, for a few, the opportunity to travel. Venus arrives in your opposite sign on Tuesday - coinciding with a First Quarter Moon in another of the Earth signs. A strong possibility is that someone with whom you’ve been trying to develop a working partnership since last May will come up with yet another suggestion.

SUDOKU
It might be as well to anticipate the unexpected as the week begins. Whatever your plans, they may need to be changed at almost the last minute. It seems likely that you’ll experience some form of displacement - though could do so happily. Tuesday’s First Quarter Moon is in your opposite sign. That may be indicative of someone you’ve been dealing with since last May coming back with the next stage of a proposal. Venus moves into another of the Water signs, Pisces where it accentuates your need to dabble in areas that are fascinating. A change of pace - particularly with regard to your daily routine and diet seems likely after Tuesday’s First Quarter Moon and may be precipitated by information gleaned over the weekend. A further possibility is that the needs of a traveller need to be taken into account when arranging meetings. The end of January may offer a natural time-line for many people. In your case what’s agreed late this week may be the spring-board decisions needed for a project that you know will take most of February to put into action. Getting the details right at the start will be important. Determining just how much support you’re willing to give someone (probably born under a Water sign) might feel to be a continuing wrestling match. Your approach could change as of Tuesday - taking you by surprise as much as it does others. Venus arrives in your sign on Tuesday and, before the end of the month, receives its first aspect from Saturn in Sagittarius for the better part of three decades. In other words, this is fresh energy. It might also be constructive - especially as there’s also a First Quarter Moon this week.
