Care for your Tan There’s no denying that most people look healthier and more attractive with a sun kissed glow. Unfortunately, our pasty Irish genetics combined with our dull and dreary weather makes it very difficult. Luckily, researchers have found a way to help you tan from the inside out - with the help of natural beta-carotene. Hate looking pasty but not keen on the idea of streaks or sun damage? TanCare is the healthy alternative to getting a sun kissed glow. Each capsule is packed with Beta-Carotene, which is a potent antioxidant found in colourful fruits and veg. Just one capsule of TanCare contains more beta-carotene than what you’d get from eating three carrots! Beta-Carotene has the following health beneﬁts: z Reduces the skins sensitivity to the sun

serves as a sun barrier in fruits and vegetables. Carotenoids have been shown to stimulate the production of melanin, which is the pigment responsible for giving skin it’s colour. The more melanin in the skin the darker the tan. Beta-carotene is also a provitamin, as it can be converted to vitamin A when the body is in need, without having the risk of toxicity which vitamin A carries. TanCare Pharma Nord TanCare Pharma Nord contains a big dose of pure betacarotene. It is manufactured in a way where beta-carotene is mixed into an oil matrix that keeps it stable and increases bio-availability. In fact, studies document that beta-carotene in supplemental form has better bio-availability than the beta-carotene found in fruits and vegetables.

z Improves the elasticity and condition of the skin z Prevents prickly heat rashes and peeling

A better solution?

z Extends the life of a tan

Taking TanCare will not change your skin type but it can get rid of that tell-tale Irish skin. You know the kind – a whole different level of pale with a slight blue hue to the legs when it’s cold. Yep, Irish skin is just code for pasty! It’s no wonder we’re a nation of fake-tanners. Interestingly, a recent study asked a group of people to evaluate photos of tans induced by sunbathing or by means of an increased carotenoid intake. The majority of them rated the carotenoid-induced tan as “more attractive”.

z Enhances the depth of a tan

All About That Base (Tan!) TanCare can help to darken your skin in a natural way. Not only does it add a healthy glow to your skin but it also helps you maintain a tan so it doesn’t start to peel or fade away as fast. The secret lies in the carotenoid: beta-carotene, which

Do you suffer from prickly heat rashes? The carotenoids found in this supplement have been proven to enhance the body’s immune response to UV rays which therefore reduces the risk of prickly heat rashes and sunburn. Beta-carotene also has a protective effect by shielding cells from free radicals that are generated in the skin in response to sunlight. In addition, beta-carotene stimulates the production of melanin which is not only responsible for darkening the skin but also for protecting the deeper layers from damage. TanCare is packed full of antioxidants that protect against potentially damaging compounds in the suns rays and reducing their destructive impact. Good beta-carotene sources Beta-carotene occurs naturally in several different foods, some of the best sources being: z green vegetables

z broccoli

z carrots

z bell pepper

z squash

z apricots

The beta-carotene content in vegetables may vary quite a lot, depending on factors like the soil they were cultivated in, fertilisers, wind, weather conditions, and the subsequent treatment of the crop.

HomeandHealth

ID YOU KNOW that each year, in a hard water area, the average family home will use water containing 154lbs (70kg) of scale. If left unchecked, this mountain of limescale can cause serious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and expensive damage to your home plumbing and appliances, kitchen and bathroom fittings too. The Carbon Trust estimate that just 1mm of limescale in water pipes can increase energy consumption by 7%. With utility bills set to rise for the foreseeable future, this represents a significant cost to the average family home. Your household plumbing becomes increasingly inefficient, which makes heating your water extremely expensive. For example, a boiler with just 5mm of scale takes an extra 4 hours to supply the average homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 90 minutes is all it should take! And, of course, this limescale finds its way into your household appliances too. Just take a look into most kettles and the evidence is there for all to see. The furred up heating element, the heavily stained inside and the nasty flakes of scale which find their way into your morning cuppa. Yes, you can buy a new kettle for less than a tenner, but washing machines and dishwashers are much more expensive to replace. Limescale build-up reduces the lifespan of the appliance and increases the likelihood of a breakdown. And who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do without the expense of calling out a plumber these days? Even if you ignore the hidden dangers lurking in your water system, physical evidence of limescale damage is all too evident throughout your home. In the kitchen, taps, tiles and stainless steel surfaces all bear the hallmarks of limescale damage. Evidence can be found on your pots and pans and, unless your dishwasher has just been installed, you will find tell tale water spots and stains on justwashed glasses and cutlery too. In bathrooms and WCs, toilets, taps and tiles are dulled with scale damage, and the once-sparkling sink and shiny shower enclosure are almost impossible to keep clean for any length of time. Even freshly washed clothes feel rough to the touch, and tiny scale particles can contribute to incidences of dry, irritating skin for yourself and family members. New home builders and renovation companies are waking up to the damage limescale can cause, and the cost implications of leaving it unchecked. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point in investing in that sparkly new kitchen or bathroom, only to see the shine come off within months, thanks to the build-up of limescale.

HE GOOD NEWS is that limescale can be permanently removed from your home quickly and easily, using a system that can pay for itself in the first 18 months. After that, the significant savings are yours to keep... year after year! A whole-house Gold Series Water Softener System from EWT provides real cost savings in terms of service, maintenance and replacement of water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines and showers, and also extends their life expectancy. SAVE MONEY, TIME AND WATER! Independent research on the benefits of EWTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gold Series System shows it can pay for itself in a matter of months. A lifetime of softened water will help you save time, water and money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; up to â&#x201A;Ź600 annually on detergents, heating and appliances

THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF

LIMESCALE

HOW MUCH IS LIMESCALE COSTING YOU? Removing limescale from your cylinder can cut the cost of heating your water by 25%. Kitchen appliances operate more efficiently and last longer without maintenance. Just 1mm of limescale on pipes can increase energy consumption by over 7%, adding hundreds of pounds to the average homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heating bills.

In the study, dishwashers and washing machines were operated for 30 days and 240 completed wash cycles on soft and hard water sources. The units using soft water were almost completely free of any water scale build-up. Units using hard water showed the need for deliming and cleaning due to the build-up of scale and deposits.

40 THE PARENT FILES

Waterford Mail 30 April 2015

Family life The Parent Files By Heather Campbell

Grandparents – what not to do GRANDPARENTS are some of the most important figures in any child’s life, and nobody wants to set a bad example! To ensure your grandkids the happiest family environment imaginable, there are a few steps to take as a grandma or grandpa. From inciting sugar-fueled chaos to behaving manipulatively toward family members, here are 10 things that grandparents should never do. 1.Ignore social media etiquette: While many grandparents aren’t plugged in on Facebook and Instagram, it’s important for the tech-savvy few to abide by some unwritten social media rules - don’t post unflattering/inappropriate photos of the grandkids, don’t hijack every post and turn it into a conversation, don’t make vague statuses to guilt kids or grandkids, and don’t add your grandkids’ friends unless they instigate it. 2.Suggest baby names: Choosing a name is a very personal experience for parents, and hearing others’ unwarranted opinions is very difficult. 3.Buy major gifts without consulting the parents: Whether it’s a car, a lifesize teddy bear, or an iPad, grandparents should never make major purchases for grandkids without consulting their parents. 4.Expect to be present in the delivery room: Whether a new mum invites her parents or in-laws into the delivery room is her choice, and being pressured either way is not helpful for anybody. 5.Force beliefs on the grandkids: While you might think that it’s important to raise them “the right way,” you should allow children to determine political and spiritual beliefs on their own. 6.Leave parents out of the loop: There’s nothing more frustrating than not knowing your kids’ whereabouts — even though grandparents are usually trustworthy, it’s extremely important to keep Mum and Dad in the loop. 7.Play favourites: Most grandparents don’t realise that they’re doing it, but using preferential language toward their grandchildren can cause emotional wounds that never heal. 8.Make mums feel guilty about their feeding style: A mum’s choice to breastfeed or bottle-feed is her own, and not every mother is able to choose breastfeeding. Condescending opinions from grandma about how to feed the baby are completely unnecessary. 9.Air Mum and Dad’s dirty laundry: While the stories of your kid’s teenage mishaps may be funny to relay to adults, they’ll only encourage small children to disobey. Save it for when they’re older. 10.Send everybody on a guilt trip: “I’ll only be alive for a few more years, but if you want to spend Christmas in Hawaii, that’s fine. . . “ is exactly the type of behaviour that should never occur.

When meals are a battleground...

FOR MANY parents, mealtimes can feel like a battle. Sometimes it can be hard enough getting a child to eat any food - let alone the healthy stuff ! Be consistent, patient and make time for meals with the family - and eventually they should grow out of this difficult phase. Getting kids to eat well takes determination, but they won’t starve if you deny them a Jammie Dodger. Agree with your partner about what’s acceptable, so your child doesn’t receive mixed messages about eating habits. Give them healthy snacks and water, at set times. Kids love routine, so stick to yours. If you say dinner is in five minutes, make it five, not ten. Vary their food so they get plenty of vitamins and minerals. And if you give them something new and they don’t like it, don’t cause a fuss, just try later. Homemade pizzas are great for boosting their vegetable intake and they’ll love picking toppings. Fajitas is another alternative. “Children are more likely to eat things they’ve helped create,” says Trudi Butler, a parental adviser. “Eat at the table, with no TV or radio, and don’t have lots of people coming and going,” says Trudi. “Avoid commotion and create a peaceful atmosphere.” Huge portions of food are overwhelming, so serve up small ones – they can always have more. A serving counts as a handful, for a child it would be a child-sized one. If you get stressed they might reject all food. As a last resort remove yourself from the room to cool off. If they play up, unleash your ‘controlled

exhibition of displeasure’. And no, it’s not the same as anger – you’re just showing them you mean business. Eat as a family. Children learn by example and if they see you enjoying your meal they’re more likely to follow suit. If you can’t eat with them, sit with them. If their enthusiasm flags, help them by spooning their food. Don’t threaten something and then give in for a quiet life. Saying “five more spoonfuls” and then only insisting on one just shows kids that you’re a pushover. Always see your threats through. Ban bribery. We all do it, but if it’s overused your child may come to expect a treat every time they eat dinner, and it can become counterproductive. So save it just for special occasions. There’s nothing wrong with cheating. Mash vegetables into pasta sauces, or blend fruit, yoghurt and cereal for a tasty smoothie. Tell a story as your child eats, so they take a bite in anticipation of the next stage. Choose bright plates and make pictures out of food. If they do well, praise them. If they feel confident and know that you’re pleased with them, they’ll be more likely to do it again. You may feel like screaming, but stick at it. After a couple of weeks you’ll see a difference, and your child’s health will benefit.

Book of the week

Movie of the week

Buried Giant, by Ishiguro Kazuo

Dark Horse

The Romans have long since departed, and Britain is steadily declining into ruin. But at least the wars that once ravaged the country have ceased. The Buried Giant begins as a couple, Axl and Beatrice, set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen for years. They expect to face many hazards - some strange and other-worldly - but they cannot yet foresee how their journey will reveal to them dark and forgotten corners of their love for one another.

This is the story of Dream Alliance - the horse that shouldn’t have won the Welsh National. The general consensus when it comes to horse racing is that millions must be invested in a thoroughbred and with the right training and the right jockey and a whole lot of luck, only then will one have a chance of winning ribbons and cups. Director Louise Ormond nicely builds up the tension to each race, and the comedown when Dream suffers a setback.

City break: London A CITY break to London will bring you face to face with some of the world’s most famous landmarks and historical attractions. Scattered throughout the city are parks and gardens where you can relax and unwind. Discover a different cuisine on every corner of the city, and spend some time taking in the glamour of London’s shopping districts.

Moroccan

marvels

orocco is home to famously busy and exhilarating cities, with historic quarters filled with winding streets and bustling souks. Further south, however, the country shows a different side of itself. Visitors make a beeline to its southwest coast to spend lazy days on white-sand beaches, underneath guaranteed Mediterranean sunshine. Head south to experience the best beaches in Morocco, where vibrant resorts line the white sand beaches. Resorts like Agadir are a wonderful place to try windsurfing or plan a leisurely boat trip, and the coast is a stone’s throw from the souks and restaurants in the town. The beaches are buzzing with stalls and cafes, ideal for browsing

for souvenirs, grabbing a cold drink or sitting down to some fresh local seafood. Some of Morocco’s best

attractions are its beautiful historic quarters, often found in the heart of big cities. If it’s a traditional Moroccan experience you’re

after, get lost in the labyrinthine Medinas and gaze at the magnificent ancient mosques in the dizzying cities. Stop for some authentic lamb tagine from a food stall or sit on a terrace with Marrakech’s trademark fresh orange juice or mint tea, and gaze out across the maze-like souks.

MOROCCO IS BEST FOR... Shopaholics: Shopping in Morocco’s mesmerising souks will put your best haggling skills to the test. Sun worshippers: With over 300 days of sunshine and summer temperatures well into the 30s (oC), there’s no better choice for sun worshippers. Sightseers: Ancient quarters filled with Moorish architecture and Moroccan tradition

LONDON IS BEST FOR Culture vultures: The museums are free, the art galleries are abundant, and the theatre is alive and well in the West End. Cultural exploration in the city is endless. Shoppers: From luxury shopping on the high street, to hidden gems in the back streets, London is the shopping capital of Europe. Foodies: London is a melting pot of cultures, which means there’s a range of exciting food choices for you to try out.

Dance Dublin Dublin Dance Festival is the leading dance event on Ireland’s cultural calendar. Each year in May, the festival brings together dance artists and choreographers from across the world to share vibrant contemporary dance with audiences. Since its establishment in 2002 the festival’s ambitions have been big, brave and 2015 is no different. Included in this year’s programme is one of the leading

world figures in contemporary dance, Meg Stuart. She opens the 2015 festival on May 19 with her company Damaged Goods as they perform a cutting edge piece involving five dancers against a tidal wave of monumental classical and contemporary music. Another highlight which you can’t miss this year is Ireland’s own Liz Roche who stages her new Yeats-inspired work entitled Bastard Amber. Visit: dublindancefestival.ie

In your 50s and %\ (PHU .HOO\ #( 67</( DON’T even think of retiring from the skincare game. It’s never too late to prevent sun damage and to stop the progression of damage you may already have. Cell turnover is slow; the most significant change you’ll notice in your complexion is dryness and loss of elasticity. Expression lines no longer disappear after you stop smiling or squinting; pores are more visible, especially on the nose and cheeks. You’re likely to have developed spider veins and hyper-pigmentation (age spots), and precancerous spots from sun damage. Laser works well to zap spider veins, and the Fraxel laser reduces hyper-pigmentation (can be found in Genises Medical laser & Aesthetic Clinic in Waterford) Menopause can cause a multitude of skin problems, including extreme dryness, acne, and rosacea. If this occurs you will have to work harder to normalise your skin. Once you hit your 60s and 70s, basically all the issues that arose in your 50s become more extreme.

PANDA-EYE PROOF Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser. Removing makeup before you go to bed has never been easier. This dermatologist-tested formula effectively removes dirt, oil and makeup. It even removes eye makeup, without soaps or oils that can sting or irritate the sensitive eye area. No more panda eyes! It rinses completely and won’t leave any poreclogging residue. Available from Lloyds Pharmacy, Dungarvan

beyond HELPFUL TIPS Cleanser: Wash morning and night with a non-soap cleanser or a creamy, foaming one. MOISTURISER: Apply a serum containing peptides or an antioxidant like vitamin C. Serums, in general, are more easily absorbed than creams and lotions. Then apply a broad-spectrum moisturiser containing SPF 15 or 20, with UVA/UVB protection. NIGHT TREATMENT: You will need more moisturising than others. Use a cream with Peptides as you will need a product to help elasticity. Never forget Every Body is Beautiful. Emer@waterfordmail.com

Boho Chic is a style that is inspired by Bohemianism and the fashions of the hippie movement. It has a late ‘60s and early ‘70s flavour that is predominantly casual, although dressy versions of the style do exist too. While “It girls” Kate Moss and Sienna Miller were among the first to revive the hippie look, with their boho-chic outfits 10 years ago, it was still going strong at the recent music festival Coachella in California, where the stylish sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, were photographed in delicate headbands and floaty, patterned shifts. GET THE LOOK Channel ‘70s-chic with this season’s essential boho blouse. This hero piece may borrow from the past, but pretty embroidery and catwalk-inspired details are so now! Blue and white’s a tried-and-tested combination that makes a boho top so easy to wear. Throw on with denim shorts and sandals if the weather forecast is bright, or switch for jeans on greyer days. For a warm-weather look that’s fresh and feminine, a loose-fitting, blush top is a winner. Cropped trousers keep the look light for balmy evenings abroad, simply add metallic accessories to pay tribute to the allinspiring disco era. Throwback to the decade everyone’s talking about with an unbeatable combo of platform heels and flared jeans. An off-the-shoulder ruffle top with a vintage print is the perfect partner.

Wrist action Hot Diamonds Emozioni Rose Gold Plate and Black Glass Heart Bangle Black glass and rose gold plate beads are the perfect combination for your Emozioni collection. Its adjustable, slip-on mechanism oozes nothing but everyday elegance. Price: €69 from Littlewoods Ireland

Waterford sounds Each week Brian Kennedy brings you the best of bands, groups and solo artists that Waterford has to offer. 50 not out for our Val This week marks the 50th anniversary of Waterford native Val Doonican’s first hit. ‘Wall Tall’ went on to sell over 1 million copies and put the Suirside legend into the UK top 3 and started Val on a career which he still occasionally performs as he closes in on 90 years young. His breakthrough at the time was seen as a milestone for Irish artists. Nowadays Irish groups are held among the best on the continent and beyond, but oddly enough if was Doonican’s record which actually started the ball rolling. At his peak his BBC Saturday night show (complete with woolly jumpers and slippers) was watched by over 17 million people in the UK.

Waterford Mail 30 April 2015

On the stage He proved no one-hit-wonder either – charting again in the UK with ‘The Special Years’ ‘Elusive Butterfly’ and ‘Memories Are Made of This’. Take a bow Val.

It’s all about soul One band that might have come in under the radar in this year’s Daytripper is Jazzie B’s critically acclaimed British soul group Soul II Soul. Although predominately known for ‘Back To Life’ at the end of an excessive 80’s, the band have been nominated for five Brit Awards and have put out the same amount of albums in a career that has spanned over a quarter of a century. Although quiet from the mainstream of late you cannot sniff at 11 million album sales worldwide, with ‘Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)’ including outstanding vocals courtesy of Karen Wheeler, topping the Billboard Charts in June 1989 for an impressive 4 weeks. Thankfully, Jazzie B has been reunited with Wheeler and will both take the stage on July 4th. A welcome return for a group who paved the path for many soul/funk/reggae acts to hit mainstream success.

The Year of the Hiker Following several very successful visits to perform in Waterford, Laois Open Door Theatre return again to Garter Lane Theatre on Saturday 2nd May at 8pm with John B Keane’s comedy, The Year of the Hiker for one night only. The Year of the Hiker is a tragicomic story of unrequited love set in the 1960s. Twenty years after the reprobate ‘Hiker’ Lacey abandoned his wife and three children, he returns on the day of his daughter’s wedding, seeking forgiveness and a place to die. His sisterin-law has assumed the father’s role. She and each member of the family react to the

homecoming in their individual manner. Tempers flair, regrets are voiced and poignant moments filled with hatred and love are shared. Mixing humour and tragedy, laughter and tears Keane explores these emotions in a truly gripping and utterly credible tale. Laois Open Door Theatre is a prolific amateur dramatic group active since the early 1980’s. With 40 current members it attracts new talent to practice their craft each year. Laois Open Door Theatre Group has kept community drama alive in Laois in recent years, touring within and outside the county with their high class productions of both world famous and home-

grown drama, catering for all tastes from comedy and farce to tragedy and drama. Recent productions include The Hen Night Epiphany, It Runs in the Family, Keane & Scream and Philadelphia Here I Come, and

The Year of the Hiker promises to be a great night in the theatre too. Saturday, May 2, 8pm. Tickets: €16 (€13 Garter Lane Friends & concs) on 051 855038 or www.garterlane.ie

Film review The Age Of Adaline

Ham Sandwich

Rated 15

Their album ‘Stories from the Surface’ soared to the Number 1 spot last week. The Kells band has undergone a subtle transformation since 2010’s White Fox, which might explain the five-year gap. Their newfound easygoing indiepop swing is thoroughly likeable at best and unassuming at worst. See them live at Shortts Live Music Venue, Friday, May 1

Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) was born on January 1, 1908. After a freak accident in her mid 20’s, Adeline finds that she does not age a day past the moment she was struck by lightning. Employing careful strategy and relocation, she passes the decades with no personal connections except some close friends and her daughter, Flemming (Ellen Burstyn). At least, she does until she meets the dashing and wholesome Ellis (Michiel Huisman). Of course, letting her guard down also means owning up to some of the hearts she has broken in the past - most importantly of all is that of Ellis’s father (Harrison Ford.) Can Adlaine settle down once and for all, or is she doomed to walk the Earth like Caine in Kung Fu?.

UB40

True Story Rated 15 After a professional debacle that has left him in a holding pattern, reporter Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) is informed that suspected murderer Christian Longo (James Franco) has assumed his identity after the murder of his wife and children. Hoping to find a story juicy enough to bring him back into the professional fold, Finkel begins to interview Longo about the crimes for which he is under investigation. What begins as a simple exchange of knowledge for tradecraft turns into a slowly darkening picture of two men who have a lot more in common than they thought. The film is methodically paced, and anchored by two solid performances from Hill and Franco, who display well-honed dramatic chops and play just as well together in a serious picture as they do in a farce.

Hudson Taylor Following the release of their highly anticipated debut album and sell out Irish tour, Hudson Taylor announced an additional seven Irish dates this May. And on Saturday, May 2 you’ll get a chance to see them for yourselves at the Crystal Club.

Patrick’s Day (15A) Patrick is a warm, open, twentysix year old virgin schizophrenic. Pills and his mother’s protection means Patrick is no threat to himself or others. Until he falls in love. Maura is Patrick’s obsessive mother and her need to control her son blinds her to the reality that sometimes the only thing more damaging than hate is misguided love. Soon to be redundant, alcoholic air-hostess, Karen, books into

an hotel to end her life unaware that the intimacy she shares with Patrick will reintroduce her to living. Dysfunctional loner cop, Freeman, wants to be a stand-up comic, but, when Maura loses her son, Freeman will use his position to help her find him, for a price. A provocative love story about the right to intimacy for everyone Patrick’s Day suggests, when it comes to love, we’re all a little crazy. Sunday, May 3, 7.30pm, Garter Lane Arts Centre.
