Editor’s Life Great excitement is mounting as our annual high tea is just one month away. All the tickets sold out months ago, and due to some clever rearranging, we even managed to ﬁt extra seats into the venue – 550! Our theme is “Bollywood Bling”, and it promises not to disappoint! Think black limos and red carpets, TV cameras and interviews, champagne and cappuccinos... goodie bags, gifts and spoiling galore (and then some).

Laidback Life Book Reviews by Books & Books • The Never List by Koethi Zan: Best friends Sarah and Jennifer kept a “Never List” – a list of actions to be avoided for their safety. One night, against their best instincts, they accept a cab ride with grave, everlasting consequences. For the next three years, they are held captive with two other girls in a dungeon-like cellar by a connoisseur of sadism. Ten years later, Sarah is struggling to resume a normal life and is unable to come to grips with the fact that Jennifer didn’t make it out of that cellar. Her abductor is now up for parole and Sarah can no longer ignore the twisted letters he sends from jail. She decides to confront her phobias and she goes on a cross-country chase where she begins unravelling a mystery more horrifying than she could have imagined. A shocking, blazingly fast read not to be missed! • The Fire Witness by Lars Keppler: Detective Inspector Joona Linna is called to a crime scene where a young girl has been brutally murdered at a home for troubled girls. Vicky Bennet, another troubled resident, is unaccounted for. Is she a victim or does the bloody hammer hidden under her bed point to her as the prime suspect? Away in Stockholm, Flora Hansen works as a medium pretending to communicate with the dead but when she begins to suffer crippling visions of a young girl’s murder she’s sure no-one will believe her... Detective Linna refuses to accept the easy answers and his search leads him into darker, more violent territory and finally to a shocking confrontation with his past. • Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah: In 1974, Kate has accepted her place at the bottom of the eighth-grade social food chain. Then, to her amazement, the most popular girl in school, Tully, moves in across the street and wants to be her friend. By summer’s end they’ve become inseparable. For 30 years, Tully and Kate buoy each other through life, weathering the storms of friendship: jealousy, anger, hurt and resentment. They think they’ve survived it all until a single act of betrayal tears them apart and puts their courage and friendship to the ultimate test. • Making Champions by Michel Jenkins: A journey into the histories, hearts and homes of some of South Africa’s greatest sporting heroes, Making Champions explores the varied journeys that have taken these stars to the top of their game. The real story of sporting success is often far more ordinary than we imagine. Every athlete featured, was born with natural talent but has had to hone that talent in order to be the best. We get to know our national heroes intimately and share the moments that have moved, shaped and defined them. Contact: Books & Books, 031 - 563 6288, shop@booksandbooks.co.za.

Readers’ Life • Thank you for having a charity section in your magazine. It is good to know that the needy receive some exposure in a world where fame, crime and corruption are the only news many people are interested in. Truly, your magazine gives hope to the real “heroes” – those who spend their lives giving their all to those in need with very little personal reward. June Ortell-Pierce, Shalom Educating Tots. • Just wanted to say a very big thank you to Mum’s Mail for putting a write-up about the Durban North Baby house (now known as House of Love and Hope) in the magazine. We really appreciate your support and help in creating awareness about who we are and what we do. We have already had a great response from the piece you put in, so thank you once again! Leanne and Kim. • Thank you to Mum’s Mail readers for your recent donation to Kiddie Kan. Clothes and toys were passed on to the North Durban Social Concerns for distribution to the needy. Brenda Daniels. • Gee whiskers – got my first enquiry within 20 minutes of the newsletter advert being sent. Woo hoo! Nosh Catering.

Everyday Life Specialists in Outdoor Dining Experiences From over-the-top feasts to simple snacks, picnics offer the perfect excuse to head outdoors, be it a romantic meal for two or a decadent meal with family and friends. Whether you find yourself in your favourite haven or a newly discovered haunt, picnics are an ideal way to take some well-deserved time out. Evolving from the traditions of Mediaeval hunting feasts, to Renaissance-era country banquets and Victorian garden parties, picnics offer a sublime escape from the maddening crowd. From intimate moonlight affairs, to family gatherings and theme-based picnics, the Dial-a-Picnic team is on hand to ensure you have a memorable experience. They ensure your every whim is met and by far surpassed, be it scouting antique shops for silver goblets, to sourcing the best organic produce made by local farmers. Alice Leah, Editor of Mum’s Mail, shares her experience: “My husband and I had the most romantic picnic at Chris Saunders Park a few months ago. Expertly arranged by Dial-a-Picnic, all we had to do was arrive! Everything was set up beautifully: a picnic blanket scattered with red rose petals, a bouquet of red roses, a vintage wooden wheelbarrow with a chalkboard and a message welcoming us to the “Picnic for 2”. Chilled drinks (non-alcoholic) were waiting on ice in a silver champagne bucket, as was the most scrumptious selection of eats. We could not physically eat all that had been prepared – true decadence! How divine!” Based in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Nelspruit, Dial-a-Picnic has fine crafted the art of picnicking.

Over the years the fund has helped more than 120 local children to attend University or Technical College, several to post graduate level. Last year the fund raised R326 983 which was donated to various charities and needy causes, 90% of which are from Black communities. Fundraising events include the Hirsch Charity Golf Day, the annual Bridge Drive and the Christmas Country Fair, all of which have become famous on the North Coast. Additional functions are held each year to raise funds. Fifty one people work for the fund on a voluntary basis. There are no administration costs and the annual audit is done for free by a local firm of Chartered Accountants. All profits go entirely to the projects supported by the Christmas Fair Fund. This year a Vintage Musical “ChariTEA” Party will take place at the Hotel Izulu on 1 August at 2.30pm. Tickets cost R150 and guests are invited to wear hats and pretty frocks.

Home Life The Woodcutter Justin Von Niebel, The Woodcutter, has been in the tree felling business for nearly 30 years. He operates in the Highway and Durban North area, providing mainly tree felling services, a little landscaping and some fencing work (such as when a tree collapses on a wall causing damage). Justin’s clients include the domestic market, construction companies, landscapers and insurance companies.

• Swimming Pool Heat Pumps • Geyser Heat Pumps • Industrial Filtration • Solar/Heat Retention Covers • Automated Pool Covers • Domestic & Industrial Salt Chlorination • pH Dosing Systems • Liquid Solar Pool Covers

Contrary to what his profession may imply, Justin is very strong on conservancy and is particularly keen on preserving indigenous trees where he can. “I recently advised a client to build a driveway around an indigenous tree,” laughed Justin, “whereas exotic trees are a problem for me.” Different trees by nature have different characteristics, so cutting down trees (or dealing with invasive roots) requires knowledge of the different wood. “Wood can be brittle and unpredictable, making the work intricate and tricky,” explained Justin. But tree felling is not just about cutting trees down. It’s also about thinning trees out, changing their appearance or removing dangerous sections. As such, once called by a client, Justin will visit the premises, advise the client on the best course of action and then proceed with the work. After cutting, should the wood be useless, Justin transports the wood away, donating it to a local church that uses it for firewood. If the wood is useful, Justin will help the client find a use for the wood.

Home Life Get the Most Out of Your Swimming Pool Every swimming pool owner in KZN should have their swimming pool heated because the mild winters allow for extended swimming seasons, unlike other provinces in South Africa. Hi Temp oﬀers two ways to heat your swimming pool: • Solar. This is the most popular choice to extend your swimming season and take the cold edge out of the water. Very affordable, the solar option has no extra running costs. Cost: from R4499. • Heatpump. For pool owners who want to swim all year round, irrespective of weather conditions, then the Titanium Heatpump is the best choice. Highly efﬁcient, with low running costs, the Heatpump has a set and go function. Cost: from R9999.

Home Life And Then There Was Light The Consol Solar Jar is a beautifully sized glass jar with a lid that contains a small solar “panel”. Placed in direct sunlight for six to eight hours at a time (or in partly cloudy conditions for 12+ hours), the lid harnesses the power of the sun to provide a lovely warm glow that lasts for up to six hours. Simply turn the wire ring to the “on” position and – voila – you have light! The Solar Jar is a safer, more energy-eﬃcient alternative to other light sources and is great for camping and outdoor entertainment, and of course for when the power goes out! Equipped with a wire handle the jar can be hung on a hook for outdoor lighting or simply placed on your dinner table or exhibited on your mantle piece – the choice is yours. The versatile Solar Jar is not only environmentally friendly but is also decorative and makes an innovative gift. Alice Leah, Editor of Mum’s Mail said: “I am super delighted with my new snazzy solar jar! It is so much safer to have around kids, as there is no danger of burning little curious hands on an open candle ﬂame. I love the eco-friendly nature of this product too – solar is the way to go. The handle makes it easy to hang in a tree in the garden. Yay! Love it!” Contact: Floordom, 031 – 206 0049, 082 768 0000. WIN WIN WIN Mum’s Mail has 1 Consol Solar Jar to give away.

Healthy Life An Affordable and Unique Luxury Skin Care Brand Cellabon RX Healthline Wellness Centre has launched a brand new highly effective luxury skin care range with two hugely unique qualities. The most effective and wellknown ingredients are used in all their creams and serums and no cost in their production has been spared, even though they are so affordable to you! Cellabon RX’s ageing system works by penetrating deep beneath the skin to repair cells from beneath. This plumps and tightens skin on the surface and does not simply “mask” the problem by filling the skin from the top. This system completely repairs skin from beneath. Many other creams temporarily aid skin treatment. The Cellabon RX anti-ageing system is a short term treatment with long term, noticeable gains. Cellabon RX offers a system that features a full line of products that will go beyond treatment of fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a younger, healthier complexion that gives your skin an appearance of lift. Some of the benefits of Cellabon RX Peratox AntiAgeing Cream include: • Repairing the skin from deep beneath to show instant results on the surface. • Using the best high quality and luxurious ingredients. • Producing natural collagen beneath the skin’s surface layer. • Leaving skin fully nourished and hydrated. • Offering a safe, effective treatment compared to botox. • Improving elasticity in the skin and significantly reducing the signs of ageing.

Healthy Life Skin Doctor Q & A Q: Can you recommend a home remedy for blackheads – for those of us who cannot aﬀord to go for facials? Or alternatively, if a home remedy wouldn’t be effective, what is the next sure-ﬁre way to eliminate blackheads and ensure healthy clear skin? Susan.

Dr Paul Darby-Wade Dentist BChD (Stell.), MFGDP, Dip. in Implant Dentistry RCS (UK)

A: A blackhead (or open comedone as Dermatologists call it) is a dilated pore ﬁlled with a mixture of skin oils and keratin (skin ﬂakes). The exposed end oxidises and turns black. Contrary to popular belief, blackheads do not imply a dirty skin, but actually an oily or sebaceous skin that is prone to acne. Hence over cleansing may aggravate the problem. Mild blackheads may be treated at home with softening by using a warm facecloth and gentle extraction preferably with a comedone extractor. Homemade scrubs using sugar or mealie meal are not recommended as they may cause milia (spots) to develop. It is best to use a scrub that contains “polyethylene beads” as these are very gentle. Extensive and large blackheads (macrocomedones) and the presence of acne pimples will require medical treatment with a topical vitamin A cream or oral medication and medical extraction.

Healthy Life Create Healthy Balance • Whole-food based. Beneficial microflorae are selected from a variety of cultured dairy foods, including: European yoghurt, acidophilus-fermented milk, bifidus-fermented milk and Yakult, a popular Japanese fermented milk. • Broad-spectrum microflorae exclusively from the human food chain deliver a unique combination of five superior types of beneficial bacteria that promote a more stable intestinal environment. • Targeted Delivery Technology. Each capsule contains an enteric protection system to protect beneficial bacteria against destruction by harsh stomach acid and deliver them safely to the intestines. • Concentrated, active cultures deliver 5 billion beneficial bacteria, as many as 10 servings of yoghurt or five servings of acidophilus milk. • Highpotency guaranteed. The bacterial strains are cultivated under strict conditions to guarantee high levels of active bacteria. Plus, each capsule provides complete systems of support and protection to keep micro-organisms potent and viable. • An excellent and completely safe choice for lactose-intolerant individuals. • No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. When beneficial bacteria are in short supply, undesirable bacteria can multiply, causing an unhealthy imbalance in the intestines. The desirable balance is further upset by stress, infection, antibiotics, and a diet high in processed, low-fibre foods. Restoring balance is difficult when most of today’s cultured milk products and cooked foods don’t contain live bacterial cultures. And of the foods that do, most of the live cultures are digested in the stomach long before they reach the intestines, where they’re needed. Acidophilus Plus was developed with this in mind – to help restore balance, encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria and tip the scales in favour of digestive wellbeing.

The Ultra Bee affordable products are uniquely formulated for baby skin, eczema and hyper-sensitive skins that cannot handle the chemicals and preservatives found in most other products making the range ideal for any skin type. Anything you put on your skin, such as chemically based products, can be absorbed into your bloodstream through the capillary system. Over time, a build-up of such toxins can place a burden on the body’s pathways of elimination – liver, gallbladder, kidneys, colon etc. So, go 100% natural!

Healthy Life The Tug of Life The Tug of Life is a practical book written by Izabella Little-Gates, author of Life Talk for a Daughter, Life Talk for a Son, and Life Talk for Parents. It is aimed at teens and adults and explores the important milestones of adult life, e.g. work, marriage, health, parenting and old age. Each section proposes what challengers (potentially troubling aspects of a situation), factors (reasons the challengers exist), galvanizers (positive ways of dealing with the challengers) and “chi-izers” (a mix of galvanizers and challengers that can swing either way) a situation might hold. Teen challengers might include, for instance, peer pressure, alcohol and binge drinking, drugs, sex and bullying. Things that could inﬂuence the latter include hormones, boredom, divorce or poverty. Factors that could be both positive and negative include possessions, parties and technology, whilst galvanizers might be values, a positive attitude, communication etc. The author then goes on to help the reader uncover the various challengers, factors, galvanizers and chi-izers in their own unique situations by including chapters designed for self-reﬂection. This book takes some of the guess work out of life and equips readers to approach life in a thoughtful, proactive manner.

Healthy Life Drinking Water and Your Child’s Health South Africa has been recognised as having some of the best drinking water in the world. However, the quality of our water differs from municipality to municipality. Can we really put our trust in our fluctuating quality of water? The current health standards that determine the allowable levels of contaminants are based on potential effects on adults, NOT children. A child’s immune system is still developing throughout their childhood and teen years. Exposure to even low levels of toxic chemicals and heavy metals in drinking water can lead to an increased risk of degenerative diseases, health complications and learning disorders in later life. Children consume three times more water per kg of body weight than adults do, so are exposed to three times the level of contaminants. Boiling water does not help. Boiling will destroy any bacterial contaminants found in water but will not remove the heavy metals or chemicals, which are the real causes for concern. H2O International Durban North has been around since 1994 servicing the greater Durban area. They offer a broad range of Water Purification Systems that are highly effective at removing toxic chemicals such as chlorine and heavy metals from your water. Ensure your family’s future health by installing an H2O International Purifier today.

Beautiful Life Treat Your Hair with KeraStraight Eighteen year old Roxanne Daniels has long, naturally curly hair. Although keen to have her hair permanently straightened by Angela Ras, of DermaHealth, she was also a little apprehensive. “My curly hair is difficult to manage and I was worried that straightening it might damage it and make it even more difficult to manage.” Nevertheless, Roxanne committed to the treatment – a fairly lengthy procedure that took three and a half hours – and was thrilled with the results. She explains: “My hair was first washed with a shampoo that opened up the hair cuticles so they could receive the straightening product. After blow drying, a keratin protein gel (extra strength because of how curly my hair is) was applied layer by layer and combed through to make sure every strand was covered. It was then blowdried and straightened with an iron – the heat helped to seal in the product. After washing with shampoo that didn’t contain Sodium Chloride, it was blowdried and straightened again. The advantage of KeraStraight is that instead of using chemicals on the outside of the hair strands, KeraStraight uses natural proteins and reconstructs the inside of the hair. It therefore improves your hair, gives it shine and locks in the moisture. It is safe for everyone to use (e.g. pregnant women) and can even be used on straight hair as well. My hair feels very soft, healthy and rejuvenated. Although I can iron it dead straight, my hair now has an easy, manageable curl, and natural volume. It was a fantastic experience and I’m not worried about my hair at all. I recommend KeraStraight for anyone with curly or straight hair.” Contact: Angela Ras, DermaHealth, angela@dermahealth.co.za, 082 571 0664. www.mumsmail.com

Beautiful Life Eve’s Home Waxing Five years ago Evelyn Alessandri began supplying salons with products for use in their waxing treatments. Smooth and silky, the wax was formulated from natural ingredients providing a soothing, rather than traumatic, waxing experience. It was also microwavable, something not easily accepted by the salons. Customers enjoyed the wax so much that the salons began asking Evelyn to supply them with waxing kits for them to sell. After much thought and planning, Evelyn began to develop the kits. She named the product “Eve’s Home Waxing Kit” and sold it to salons as well as pharmacies. The result was a “peel oﬀ ” wax kit, designed for men and women of all skin types, especially those with sensitive or dry skins. It was ideally suited to sensitive areas like lip, eyebrow, underarm, bikini, back, chest and tummy. The kit consisted of a microwavable container of wax with a screw-on lid, oﬀering multiple applications, reuse and storage. It also included a 50ml Vanilla Post Wax Lotion to soothe and keep the skin hydrated after waxing, plus spatulas of varying sizes depending on the application. Eve’s Home Waxing Kits are now available at selected salons, as well as Pharmed and Alphapharm pharmacies in Pietermaritzburg, Highway, Durban North and Ballito.

Beautiful Life Organic Cream Yungskin, a groundbreaking organic face cream developed using advanced technologies, has just been launched. It is the first and only cream to use quantum energy science and cellular stimulation principles to help restore the skin to its natural youthfulness. Yungskin stimulates natural meridian energies and acupuncture points on the face to provide visible and lasting rejuvenation. Yungskin was developed by renowned Homeopath, Naturopath and Acupuncturist, Dr Philip Sherwin, from Cape Town, who has more than 40 years’ experience in this field. He has ensured that all materials in the manufacturing process are fully recyclable and no testing was done on animals. Dr Sherwin, who has been lauded by Prince Charles for his contribution to the medical profession, says: “Like every part of your body, the skin on your face resonates its own particular energy field and frequency. Similarly, Yungskin is infused and energised so that the cream synchronises, stimulates and enhances this energy field at a deep cellular level, just as acupuncture would stimulate certain points on your body and face. When stimulated with Yungskin, the skin has enormous potential to regenerate its vitality, and skin tone will improve dramatically.” A donation of R10 for each jar sold is donated to charity. This revolutionary product is available online for R395 (50ml) including delivery anywhere in South Africa, or $43 elsewhere, excluding shipping costs.

Bev said: “My day of pampering at Aqua Spa was simply delightful! This is a gorgeous spa with professional, friendly staff. All my treatments were thoroughly enjoyable: therapeutic back massage, perfect pedicure and an extremely soothing Dermalogica facial which included a wonderful foot massage Aesthetic that was so relaxing I kept nodding off! I’ll definitely be going back for more essen- Makeover Studio • Laser Special tial indulgence!” Alice said: “There are few things I enjoy more than a day at the spa, so an invitation to enjoy a half-day pamper at the new Aqua Spa in Umhlanga was a delight! The tasteful décor and cleanliness of the spa set the tone for a most enjoyable day as soon as we arrived. A destress neck, back and shoulder massage was just what I needed (and I was so impressed that the therapist expertly avoided an area of my back on which I had recently had an operation); the paraffin pedi was a moisturising treat I would love to indulge in more often; the facial was heavenly, and while the mask did its magic, I know I snored during my foot massage! Lunch mid-way through filled a hungry tummy. I will be back!”

Beautiful Life Sunbird Perfumes Women love to look, feel and smell beautiful, and it is often that “invisible beauty” on our pulse points that can make us feel gorgeous. There is nothing better than that confident, radiant feeling when walking into a room knowing you are wearing a lovely fragrance. Sunbird Perfumes are oil-based fragrances containing the finest ingredients. They are manufactured from quality essential oils which are imported from some of the world’s leading perfume houses in Grasse, France. Sunbird Perfumes are inspired by some of the world’s most popular brands, both masculine and feminine, delivering fragrances essentially identical to those of the original perfumes, e.g. Dior, Gucci, Chanel and many more. They do smell the same and do not compromise on quality. The only difference is the price – Sunbird Perfumes sell at a fraction of the cost of the original, branded fragrances. Imitation perfumes are perfectly legal. Fragrances cannot be patented; however, they can be duplicated without the additional expense that the brand name attaches. Would you like to have two or three different perfumes without breaking the bank? You can have an extra bottle of your favourite fragrance to keep at the office or in your handbag for a quick freshen up. And instead of taking your expensive, original and occasionally bulky bottle on holiday, slip a simple, elegant bottle of Sunbird neatly into your toiletry bag. For more information contact: Ailie Maurice, ailiemaurice@gmail.com. Women’s Day Promotion: Any Woman’s 30ml fragrance + matching hand & body lotion for only R130.

Beautiful Life Weigh-Less Teens and Tweens Programme Childhood obesity and overweight children are becoming increasingly evident in South Africa. The National Household Food Consumption Survey reported that 17,1% of South African children between the ages of one and nine living in urban areas is overweight (Obesity In South Africa by Julia H. Goedecke, Courtney L. Jennings, Estelle V. Lambert). As a result children are more at risk of suffering from heart attacks, strokes and diabetes at an early age. In response to this rising pandemic Weigh-Less, Southern Africa’s leading health and weight management organisation, introduced a Teens and Tweens programme in 2011. This easy-to-follow plan is a child-friendly version of the Weigh-Less programme, and has been specially designed for children between the ages of nine and 18. It includes a handy guide on what to expect, tasty recipes and a “kids only” food list – full of the foods that kids love, in portions that are suitable for a healthy lifestyle. Mary Holroyd, Founder and Chairman of Weigh-Less says: “Do not mistake our programme for a diet of any sorts. Weigh-Less does not advocate dieting. It is all about educating our children about the benefits of healthy eating and making healthier food choices so that they too can take charge of their health. The Teens and Tweens programme includes a variety of foods from each of the food groups to ensure optimal vitamin and mineral intake, and includes eight different formulae that can be adjusted according to their ages, personality and lifestyle.” Contact: Weigh-Less Call Centre, 0861 100 551.

Young Life Kids’ Club Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife runs a Loyalty Club, nationally known as the Rhino Club, which is supported by people who are interested in conservation in all its forms. The Kids’ Club component was launched in 2008. The main aim of the Kids’ Club is to encourage the natural interest that children have in their surroundings, thus helping to instil an environmental ethic in our future Eco-tourists. The Kids’ Club was established as an environmental, non-profit project designed to encourage children to become actively involved in conservation and to foster an environmental ethic in children which they will carry with them throughout their lifetime. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife protected areas offer a fascinating array of flora and fauna, and activities to highlight them. Monthly outings and quarterly interactive activity booklets, school holiday walks, hikes etc. all form part of the Kids’ Club offering.

Does my Child Have ADHD? In early childhood it may be difficult to distinguish symptoms of ADHD from ageappropriate behaviours in active children, such as running around or being noisy. We must remember that most children – especially small children – get distracted, act impulsively and “bounce off the walls” from time to time! This is normal, although it is often mistaken for the onset of ADHD. True ADHD symptoms usually appear in children between the ages of three and six. However, because all children are different, with differing levels of maturity and behaviour, it can be difficult to make a definitive ADHD diagnosis at this age. Are you concerned your child may have ADHD? Consult your paediatrician, who may refer you to a psychologist. Source: Claire Newton, claire@clairenewton.co.za. www.mumsmail.com

Young Life Big Thinking S.A. Big Thinking S.A. runs a Youth Development programme that covers the essentials of public speaking, leadership, goal setting, group dynamics and creating a positive mindset. The programme is highly interactive, is fun, and combines elements of music and media to engage the modern learner. Conducted by Brad Winstanley, who is very passionate about youth development, the programme has proved life changing for youngsters and is a great forum for them to make new friends. “I have been involved in personal development for many years and have immersed myself in the fields of positive psychology, optimal living and public speaking,” explained Brad. “I am incredibly passionate and enthusiastic about developing the youth of South Africa. I believe that by imparting the right skills and knowledge to students and instilling in them a deep belief in their ability, anything is possible for them.” Big Thinking S.A. is currently engaging with several schools in Durban to supplement elements of the Big Thinking Youth programme into the existing life skills and leadership programmes. The current course is designed for Grades 7 – 9 but the content can be adapted to suit students outside this age group. Each programme is facilitated over three sessions of approximately three hours each, run over consecutive Saturdays. Sessions are held at the Scout Hall, Glenashley, and will in future be facilitated at schools as well. Topics covered include: • Techniques for goal setting and the action plan to achieve them. • Effective public speaking. • Successfully dealing with people. • Techniques for managing negativity and promoting positivity. • Developing emotional intelligence and confidence. • Success stories of high achievers. • Setting a vision for the future.

Young Life Edu Babe Training Started in 1997 Edu Babe was founded in an effort to support mothers in their very difficult task of raising and stimulating their babies and toddlers. From these groups it became apparent that a very definite need and gap in the market existed for the educating and training of caregivers. Edu Babe has taken both these needs into consideration – the need for domestic worker training and that of supporting parents in their task of raising children by placing child minders and domestic workers in their homes. The franchise business therefore offers: • Quality training courses for domestic workers. • Housekeeping. • Child care. • Au pair training. • New parent training. • First aid. • Cooking and baking. In addition, Edu Babe offers a Domestic Staff Placement Service for domestic workers. In 2012 a unique range of products not normally available to private consumers was added to Edu Babe’s offering. This range ties into their services and covers areas such as first aid products through to unique kitchen implements. Visit the online shop for more details. Each franchisee owns and operates their franchise under licence from Edu Babe CC and franchisees can be found in most major centres of South Africa.Edu Babe has become a household name in South Africa in terms of domestic training courses and placements.

From August, Channel 5ive plans to do its own material and hopefully record a single next year. Denver’s aim, as founder and manager, was to firstly instil a love for music in the children and then help them work on their craft and be the best musicians they could be. Like any music group, Channel 5ive hopes that one day the world will know them and their music. For now, however, it’s mostly about learning and growing as musicians, singers and songwriters.

Tiny Life Did Anyone Tell You...? Do you as a mother feel guilty? Guilty that you don’t know how to pacify your new baby, guilty that you don’t enjoy aspects of motherhood, guilty that you can’t seem to measure up to your own and others’ standards? Meg Faure, author and expert on parenting and newborn know-how, understands these sentiments and believes that “being a good-enough parent” is actually better than being a perfect parent. She also believes that equipping mums with empirically sound knowledge will empower their mothering. These two, perspective and knowledge, Meg believes can help to relieve some of the seemingly innate guilt we as mothers experience.

SA’s most successful pre- and postnatal exercise programme now in Durban!

Latascha 073 162 3710 • www.preggibellies.co.za facebook.com/preggiBellies

But when it comes to “knowledge” how do we choose from the plethora of conflicting advice we find in the media, in books, on the Internet and from other mothers? “Before your baby is born,” advises Meg, “determine your style of parenting and then choose a voice that reinforces that. This will help to reduce conflict. Very importantly, ensure that the material you use is empirically sound.” The annual 2013 Johnson’s Baby Sense seminars, hosted by Meg, will see various experts equipping parents with tools to parent their babies confidently by discussing everything from feeding, sleep, newborn care and health. The seminars will provide scientifically based information as well as a chance for mums to meet other mums. Cost: R230 per session for seminar (morning or afternoon) or R75 per session for interactive workshop. Contact: www.babysense.com/seminars, 021 - 461 4669.

Educated Life 2014 Calendar

MEYRICK BENNETT CENTRE

Under An African Sky, a voluntary association formed by Compass Waste Services in 2009, will, for the fifth year in a row, release a beautiful wildlife calendar, the proceeds of which will go to the Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW). The 2014 calendar, “African Sentiments”, will feature 15 exquisite wildlife photographs and will cost R170 excluding postage. Proceeds are to go to CROW for the construction of a new and improved baboon enclosure. In addition, the charity is giving away 15 framed pictures, signed by CROW ambassador, rugby player Bismarck du Plessis. Founded over 30 years ago, CROW is Durban’s only registered wildlife rehabilitation centre dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of all indigenous wildlife found in KZN. CROW assists over 3000 orphaned, injured and displaced animals every year. Up to 2000 of these animals are released back into the wild every year, a process that is very carefully controlled. Animals at the centre recently included dassies, mongoose, baboons, porcupine, different species of birds and a lonesome warthog called Wendy (with whom Zaba of East Coast Radio was particularly keen on spending time!) To date CROW has benefited from the money raised from the calendar initiative by receiving a 4x4 rescue and release vehicle, the revamping of the geese, water bird and stand-alone enclosures, and the funding of different operational medical costs.

Educated Life Specialised Learning Therapy

SPECIALISED LEARNING THERAPY FOR THOSE WITH: • Dyslexia • ADHD • Asperger Syndrome • Muscular Dystrophy • Paraplegia • Moderate to severe learning or physical disabilities

Qualified with his Honours Degree in Psychology, Matthew Ettmayr offers a new approach to working with clients from ages seven to adulthood, in improving their ability to learn, comprehend and achieve their goals. Specialising in teaching study skills to learners from various backgrounds and catering for numerous learning difficulties, Matthew offers hope to those who feel they are not coping or would like to drastically improve their way of learning. Study regimes can be custom designed to suit the individual needs of learners who need assistance with studying. Specialised programmes are taught and developed one-on-one with learners experiencing difficulty. Due to the growing need for school-going learners to attain skills needed to better manage learning difficulties such as Dyslexia or ADHD, often not catered for in normal school going settings, specific programmes have been created to better manage learning and studying content at school. Matthew implements these with outstanding results in learners. Through one-on-one contact sessions, learners are helped to unlock their hidden potential. Confidence levels are enhanced through these personal learning sessions, which ultimately allow the learner to develop at their own pace, focusing on areas they need to, and achieving their individual goals and improving scholastic abilities. The specialised consultations are not limited to children - parents, facilitators and mainstream educators can learn how to better manage learning difficulties such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome and other behaviour conditions. With the use of advanced technology, Matthew is also able to work with people who are severely disabled with blindness, deafness or paraplegia.

Educated Life Coaching Confident Children You’re an amazing parent; this is obvious because you are tak- EDUCATIONAL ing the time to read this. A child’s confidence is learnt, not inherited. This is exciting because we can change our children’s PSYCHOLOGIST and our confidence levels. Our brains are made up of 100 billion • Career Guidance • Subject Choice neurons! After monitoring the brain activity of these neurons, • Study Skills research has shown that our brains are NOT hardwired. Therefore, it is VERY possible for our brains to create new neural path- • School Readiness • Behavioural or ways and to retract old ones, which is known as brain plasticity. Emotional Difficulties So what does this actually mean? It means that we are able to 031 209 4567 teach ourselves and our children, new behaviours and thoughts. grahamhalse@telkomsa.net So we are able to tweak little things and add even more positivity to our already amazing children. How you can help your child: • Improve your own self confidence: Consciously work on improving your own confidence levels – be aware of your thoughts and actions. • Eliminate negative labelling – by doing this, you will remove negativity from being on their priority list. • Focus on what they are currently doing well – even though you are your child’s number one supporter, often we forget to share our excitement and pride in their behaviour and actions. • Trust – as protective as you feel over your child, you need to show and prove to them that you trust them. • Abilities list – every day, ask them what they accomplished, what made them happy and what they were proud of themselves for.

Party Life Around the World Party Send your child and their birthday party friends around the world without leaving home with this globe-trotting get-together! Invitations: • Write the party info on picturesque postcards of other countries. • Create paper planes by folding white paper. Unfold the paper and write the party details inside using terms like “arrival”, “departure” and “destination”. Decorations: • Transform your home into a setting for your world tour with posters of favourite locations (available at travel agencies). • Decorate the walls with maps. Use one large map as a tablecloth. • Display foreign books, magazines and comic books and place them on the tables for guests to enjoy. Around the world cake: Make your favourite sponge cake. Make clouds with white icing, ocean with blue-tinted icing, and earth with chocolate icing – to resemble the Earth from a distance. Decorate with tiny flags from different countries. Costumes: Have the children dress to represent a particular destination. For example: a snowsuit for Alaska, a Hawaiian shirt for a tropical island, clogs for Holland, a sari for India etc. Games: Play Pack Your Bags. Fill a suitcase with items from different countries. Divide the kids into two teams, and have them sit in two lines. Open your suitcase and tell the players you have just returned from a long trip around the world. Give each player an item. Begin by asking the last person in line to say his name, country of origin and item. The item is then to be passed on to the next person in line. That person must then repeat the first item and country, then add his own and pass both to the next person. Source: 501 TV-Free Party Games for Kids.

Party Life ZolaBar: New Delicious Energy Bar that Keeps You Going

BALLOONS JUST 4 U • Helium Balloons • Arches • Backgrounds • Table Décor • Helium Gas • Printing

Sometimes it’s hard to find a quick, nutritious snack when you’re eating on the go. With this in mind, McNab’s has launched S.A.’s first high energy protein bar that contains “no nasties” – the ZolaBar. The ZolaBar is so called because, like our minibus taxis of the same name, this energy bar keeps you moving. It is a great tasting energy bar containing 20% protein, energy rich peanuts, Ghanaian vanilla and Kalahari rock salt, and it’s free of artificial colourants, flavours, preservatives and stabilisers. And just like our taxis go, go and go, ZolaBars will give you the energy you need when you are always on the go. ZolaBar is perfect for active people of all ages, including athletes. High in protein, energy and nutrients it will give you the boost you need in the midst of a busy day. Mum’s Mail staff tried the bar and said: • “I found it tasted a lot like the Noogie Bar. It has a nice texture and not a very strong flavour – a great health snack. I would always choose something that does not have any bad additives which is a big pro for this energy bar.” (Lynda). • “Surprisingly delicious! And healthy too! Where can I buy some?” (Bev). [Available from retail outlets nationally for approximately R9.95]. • “One word – yummy! I love that the ZolaBar tastes like a chocolate but functions as an energy bar. I feel like I am cheating legally.” (Alice). • “Pleasant taste, not too chewy and I liked the chocolate. No additives is a plus for me too.” (Brenda).

healthy, happy & wholesome

Alice Leah, Editor of Mum’s Mail said: “This was the second time we have been lucky enough to visit Emdoneni Lodge, and Cecillie and Louis never disappoint! Recent renovations have really improved all aspects of the lodge experience, and the highlight (as always) is the interaction with their wild cats! We spent half an hour with the Cheetahs, not quite cuddling (as their claws are really sharp!), but we sat with them, and stroked them, and they purr like a tractor engine. We also had a chance to cuddle the Serval kittens which are just too cute. Dumi (their game ranger/cat specialist) has the most incredible information to share about his cats, and the kids’ three-hour junior game ranger course was money well spent. I would highly recommend Emdoneni Lodge as a family destination with a difference.”
