A
-REPORT
report last week makes for grim reading for that section of the population dealing with the problem of mental illness. People suffering from serious and enduring mental illnesses are suffering long-term neglect and ending up in a "revolving door" of admission and discharge from psychiatric units, the report stated. The findings come as no surprise. We all acknowledge the fine work being done by people at the coalface, and the commitment of workers to make life more tolerable and manageable for people with mental illnesses; yet many service users are making poor progress under the existing system. Without adequate rehabilitation and recovery supports they are "stuck in the system and denied the chance of independent living," said the report by Dr Susan Finnerty, inspector of mental health services at the Mental Health Commission. She warned that the findings showed "longterm neglect of people with severe and enduring mental illness has negative outcomes for the service user and their families". "Many people with enduring mental illness have repeated admissions to inpatient psychiatric units, are then discharged, to be readmitted when things breakdown again - the so-called 'revolving door' of admissions," she added. "This is counterproductive for both the service user and the already severely under-resourced acute services. The short-sightedness of not providing adequate mental health rehabilitation services, from both a human rights and a financial viewpoint, is quite astounding. Continued on Page 2

an investment affordable and would have many energy-saving and other benefits going forward, including adding value to homes. Money invested in retro-fit projects also helped in local job creation and provided an impetus for young people to explore and create new technologies. Ballina credit union CEO Michael Ferguson was delighted with the response and attendance and commented that people were beginning to sit up and take notice and enquire about what can be done at a community and family level to address climate change. Such has been the response to the exhibition it is now felt that the possibility of making it an annual event will be explored.

Mr. Stewart, renowned for his views on climate change and eco solutions, commended the local credit union on the initiative which marked the launch of the credit union’s range of loans designed to help those intending to introduce energy-saving solutions to their homes.

Recently at GAA head quarters St. John’s gaa were one of 86 clubs from across Ireland recognized as a healthy club. Molaise Gaels were the only other club from Sligo.

These included Operation transformation 2018 & 2019, pre Christmas boot camp, mental health workshop for teenagers, becoming a non smoking club and it culminated in a 24 hr walk and talk relay which was held at the end of September. “This is only the beginning of our healthy club journey and we want to push on over the next couple of months and years and bring more of the above to our community. If you would like to get involved and become part of our healthy club committee we would be delighted to welcome you on board” said chairperson of St John’s Seamus Casey. In the meantime well done to all who supported our healthy club initiative over the past 18 months.
MENTALLY ILL SUFFERING FROM LONG-TERM NEGLECT - CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE "Mental health policy called for specialist rehabilitation and recovery services a decade ago, but progress has been minimal."

Best ever Céide Coast Half Marathon and 10k
T
HE sun shone on beautiful Ballycastle, Co. Mayo for the annual Céide Coast Half Marathon and 10K on Saturday, October 12, ensuring that the 300-odd runners who partook in the event saw North Mayo’s breath-taking coastal scenery at its very finest. The race, hosted by Ballycastle Athletic Club and sponsored by Nally’s of Ballymahon, Longford, saw registrations this year jump by a whopping 69 per cent, delivering an estimated €60,000 into the local economy and cementing the importance of the event to North Mayo. Over half of the runners travelled from outside the county, with roughly 10 per cent travelling from overseas to participate. The half marathon route is unique, bringing runners right onto Downpatrick Head within inches of the cliff edge, for an unrivalled view of the world-famous Dún Briste sea-stack. This year, the club also made a conscious effort to reduce plastic waste with the use of compostable cups
along the route. 173 runners registered for the half marathon, with 148 taking on the challenging 10km route. A further 50 registered to participate virtually from other locations, bringing the total number of registrations from 207 in 2019 to 371 this year. Race director Michael Kelly said: “We were thrilled to get such a great turnout this year and so many visitors. Ballycastle is a small community, and the Céide Coast Half Marathon would not be possible without the support of our neighbouring communities along the Céide Coast, from Killala to Lacken to Kilfian to Belderrig. I want to thank everyone who helped out over the past year and on the day to make the event such a success, and also a huge thank you to our club officials Maura Fox, Mary Carden, Margaret Thomas, Oliva McDonnell, Gillian Grier and Anthony Gardiner.” Anne-Marie Flynn, manager of Mayo North Promotions Office said, “We
identified this event last year as a potentially significant driver of tourism into the North Mayo region and allocated resource from our office to work with Ballycastle Athletic Club and promote the event to a targeted local, national and overseas audience. The number of visiting runners speaks for itself, and unanimously positive feedback from the event is a credit to the organisers and proves that the Céide Coast is more than capable of delivering a professionally-run, highly-rated event that can hold its own with any better resourced event in the West of Ireland. It now needs additional support in order to grow, but given its success, it is an ideal event for any sponsor to associate themselves with.” The 2020 Céide Coast Half Marathon and 10k will take place on Saturday, October 10, with registration now open. Anyone interested in sponsorship opportunities can contact Michael Kelly by emailing ceidecoasthalfmarathon@gmail.com.

Mayo Minister nominated for Europe-wide ‘Innovation in Politics Award’
M
ayo’s Michael Ring, TD, the Minister for Rural and Community Development, has been selected as a finalist in the Europe-wide Innovation in Politics Awards for introducing the Government’s new public library strategy: ‘Our Public Libraries 2022 – Inspiring, Connecting and Empowering Communities’, which has led to an abolition of library fines and the increase of library opening hours in many libraries. The Innovation in Politics Awards, which are run by the Vienna-based Innovation in Politics Institute, acknowledge and support public initiatives which make a difference in order to highlight innovation in Europe. Dublin City University is the partner institution for the awards in Ireland. Out of over 400 nominations from across Europe, 80 finalists were selected by a jury of more than 1,000 citizens from all
European countries. On the nomination, Minister Ring said: “I am delighted to be a finalist in the Innovation in Politics Awards in particular for my Department’s role in supporting public libraries. Through our public library strategy we are working to make libraries more open and accessible, and better able to meet the needs of the public in an ever-changing society. “The abolition of library fines, which came into effect in January of this year, will help reduce barriers to people using the library. We want to ensure that there are no deterrents to people of different backgrounds from getting the many benefits of library usage. “The nomination also recognises the impact and potential of the new My Open Library service which introduces greatly expanded opening hours in many libraries.”
Longer opening hours Under the My Open Library Initiative, libraries open from 8am to 10pm, 365 days per year. Fifteen libraries have already adopted the scheme which will extend to a hundred branches by end 2022. “We are increasing the opening hours in these libraries to meet the needs of people who have busy lives. Ultimately, we want more people to use the libraries and this is a practical and effective way of making that happen”, said Mr. Ring. Over the June Bank Holiday weekend of this year, 1,390 people used Deansgrange Library in County Dublin while another 811 used Dungarvan Library in Waterford. Last year the My Open Library service won the ‘Excellence in Customer Service’ category in the Civil Service Excellence and Innovation Awards. The 2019 Innovation in Politics Awards Awards will be announced in Berlin on December 4.
Sligo County Council shortlisted for prestigious environmental award Sligo County Council has been shortlisted for a 2019 Pakman Award. Now in its 5th year, the national environmental awards celebrate sustainability champions who are putting innovative recycling and waste management practices into place across Ireland. The Local Authority has been shortlisted in the Environmental Education and Awareness Initiative category. The County Council initiated a large scale education and awareness campaign on correct waste management practice and over a 10-week period, they focused on specific topics each week. The successful campaign was delivered via radio interviews, press releases to the local press and various social media content from videos, publications and tips on the topic of the week. The winner of the Environmental
Education and Awareness Initiative category will be announced at the 2019 Pakman Awards which takes place on October 24th in the Intercontinental Hotel, Dublin. Not only will Sligo County Council be in the running to take home top prize in the Environmental Education and Awareness Initiative category, they will also be eligible for the overall Pakman Award, the winner of which will also be announced at the awards ceremony. Commenting on the 2019 Pakman Awards finalists, Séamus Clancy, Repak CEO commented : “This year, the number and quality of entries in the Pakman Awards surpassed all our expectations. The dedication and innovation shown by individuals and organisations across the country is amazing, and makes a real difference to Ireland’s environment.
Now more than ever, Ireland needs environmental champions and we are looking for organisations, community groups and individuals to lead by example. We look forward to showcasing Sligo County Council’s environmental initiatives and hope that others will be inspired to follow their lead.” The 2019 Pakman Awards, powered by Repak, is proudly sponsored by The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, the Environmental Protection Agency, Arthur Cox, the Irish Waste Management Association, Chartered Institute of Waste Management, Enviroguide, WEEE Ireland, Repak ELT, AMCS, European Recycling Platform and Ibec.

FOR SALE The Save Leitrim demonstrators outside Leinster House
T
he Save Leitrim group made their presence felt outside the gates of Dail Eireann last week to demonstrate their oppositon to afforestation of Sitka spruce in the county. The Group was founded by a number of like-minded people who have raised concerns about the detrimental impact Sitka spruce afforestation is having on the social and economic fabric of rural communities and the environment of County Leitrim. 50% of County Leitrim’s agricultural land is planted in non-native, invasive species. 14,000 hectares (34,595 acres) of Leitrim land is under forestry and it is increasing everyday. That’s 34.5 million Sitka spruce trees. "As a group, we have a voice but we will only be heard at national or EU level when the people of the townlands, villages and towns of County Leitrim join us and shout STOP. "The local people are seeing first-hand the decimation of our communities with a massive increase in afforestation by private forestry companies, vulture
funds, tax off setters, pension funds and multinational companies across County Leitrim continuing unabated. All tax free at the expense of the Irish tax payer. This is not EU money. This is Irish tax payers’ money. "We are most definitely not against trees! We are for the right trees, in the right places being managed in the right way so that everyone benefits! The environment, the wildlife, the communities, the farmers, the economy, the county and the future. Right now what’s happening, and has been happening for more than 40 years, is wrong. It’s all about the money rather than being about what’s right and best!" "This monoculture planting is destroying our environment and the eco systems on the land and in our rivers and lakes. "The people of Leitrim are shouting STOP! They have been doing so for over 40 years. Our county is disappearing fast beneath a 60ft wall of green. We want the government to stop and assess this whole situation. Our agenda is to Save Leitrim.” Meanwhile, Sligo-Leitrim TD,
Marc MacSharry is seeking engagement with communities in meeting forestry goals and the Minister must engage with and listen to Save Leitrim campaign and other communities. Addressing the Dáil on the issue Deputy Mac Sharry commented, "I am fully supportive of increasing the forestry cover in the state; however we need to see a change in the approach if we are to meet the 18% target for 2050. We are currently at 11%. "In the North West there is justified anger in the approach taken so far. Local communities are being ignored and a disproportionate concentration of Forestry is being permitted in certain areas. "Communities do not want to be left in the dark, which is what is happening to some small communities. I do not want this to be misinterpreted as me being against forestry, I am not, but the people of County Leitrim matter and we must be cognisant of their needs and the over concentration which exists in some areas. People have a right to light which needs to be protected.”
Go-ahead for Balla poultry farm despite objections DESPITE recommendations for refusal, permission has been granted for a 12,000 capacity free-range poultry free-range poultry farm outside Balla in County Mayo. An Bord Pleanála granted permission to the applicants, Noel and Ann Mulhern, after they appealed the decision by Mayo County Council to refuse the re-
quest. A total of 12 submissions were lodged by local residents in the Brownhall area against the development, These cited a number of concerns over the application. Mayo County Council refused the application on the grounds that the 1,856 sq. metre site would impact on residential amenity and potentially impact on Special Areas of Conversation (SAC), which in this case is the River Moy, situated 1.3km from the proposed site. In her report, Sarah Lynch, Planning Inspector for An Bord Pleanála, who carried out an inspection on that site on August 12 last, recommended that planning permission be refused. She wrote that she had ‘serious concerns in relation to the potential for both noise and disturbance to neighbouring properties given the inadequacies out-
lined in relation to the noise impact assessment and for the adverse impacts upon the integrity for the River Moy SAC’. She added that the ‘proposed development would, therefore, be contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area’. However, An Bord Pleanála considered the inspectors report at a Board meeting on September 5 last and decided to grant permission by a majority of 2:1. In their report, An Bord Pleanála, said that in deciding not to accept the inspector’s recommendation, they were satisfied that ‘the proposed development would not seriously injure the amenities of properties in the vicinity, by reason of noise and general disturbance, and depreciate the value of properties in the area’.

Progress on Moy Estuary plan

A
greenway connecting Ballina to Enniscrone is central to a plan for the development of the Moy Estuary, as revealed from a public consultation process. It is the principal theme emerging from the feasibility study facilitated by Ballina Lions Club in the communities of Ballina, Killala and Enniscrone. Locals were updated on the progress of the study at a meeting held recently in Ballina’s Kennedy Glasgow Building, a location which, according to the study, could in itself become a multi-use civic hub which visitors to the area could use as a “one-stop shop” to explore the region.
The proposed greenway, together with an artificial diving reef in Killala Bay, the showcasing of the area’s rich natural heritage and history and the promotion of angling and water-based activities on the river Moy will produce a package to appeal to a broad tourist market, according to the draft study. Consultant Enda Candon, who compiled the report, said all the proposals would tie in with the Wild Atlantic Way project and general plans of Tourism Ireland and Failte Ireland. Some of the attendance expressed disappointment that some of the other proposals in the consultation process were not included in the draft, including
the option of a footbridge over the Moy between Belleek Woods and the Quay (which Mr. Candon stressed could be included as a longer range development). Issues such as water quality, traffic in the town and, inter alia, failure to exploit the Salmon Capital theme, were highlighted. Nevertheless, as was noted by Ballina Lions’ David Mullarkey, the large attendance and enthusiasm displayed augured well for the process and there was sufficient energy in the room to ensure the plan wouldn’t fail. Further briefings will take place later in the year and a steering committee established once the plan is completed in mid-November.

Roscommon Family at the Centre of Controversial Eviction Given a Month to Vacate Home The Co Roscommon family whose farm was the centre of a controversial eviction last year have been given a month to vacate their home. Mr Justice Senan Allen in the High Court ruled that KBC bank was entitled to an injunction compelling siblings Michael Anthony, David, and Geraldine McGann to vacate their family home at Falsk, near Strokestown, in Co
Roscommon, pending the final outcome of the dispute. The Judge said he was satisfied from the evidence that the defendants had no entitlement to be on the property. main on the property. The application centred around events last December when the McGann family were evicted from the farm on foot of a repossession order KBC obtained in
respect of the property several years ago. The eviction gained national media attention after private security operatives were forced from the property by a group of masked men. Gardai subsequently launched an investigation after the security personnel were attacked, several of whom required medical treatment, several vehicles were burnt, and a dog had to be put down due to injuries it sustained. The McGanns, who were not involved in those incidents, subsequently returned to the property and have remained there since. The property was the subject of a loan agreement between KBC and the farm’s registered owner Mr Michael Anthony McGann. Mr McGann fell into arrears on repayments and owed the bank some €431,000. Counsel said KBC obtained a possession order in respect of the property in 2012, which was not appealed. The last repayment on the loan to KBC was made by the borrower in February 2014, it was claimed.

Efficient and low cost service throughout Connacht PIC SHOWS: Du Kai (second left) and Liu Lian (third left), both Mr. Miss; Elfie Yang, Tourism Ireland (right); and the filming crew, during filming at the Yeats Building in Sligo.
A
well-known Chinese jazz and pop duo, called Mr. Miss, has been visiting Sligo and Ireland – to film a series of videos for a new Tourism Ireland campaign. The campaign – called ‘Love Ireland’ – will feature 20 different experiences and activities in lots of different locations around Ireland – including Sligo and the Yeats Building. The videos will star Du Kai and Liu Lian – aka Mr. Miss – who’ve become hugely popular in China since appearing on a reality TV music contest. The pair’s action-packed itinerary was designed by Fáilte Ireland. The videos will go live in December and
will be shared with millions of people on Chinese social channels – including Weibo (the popular microblogging site, often described as the Chinese version of Twitter), WeChat (messaging app), TikTok (video sharing app), Red (a platform combining photo-sharing and ecommerce) and Toutiao (news and information platform). David Boyce, Tourism Ireland’s Head of Middle East, Asia and Emerging Markets, said: “We’re really pleased to be working with Mr. Miss on our new ‘Love Ireland’ campaign – as their fanbase is a good fit with our target audience in China. Their videos will be seen by millions of people
across China – helping to raise awareness of Sligo and Ireland, and the wide variety of things to see and do here. They will highlight our rich culture and heritage and help potential Chinese holidaymakers fall in ‘love’ with the island of Ireland – helping to secure a greater share of the 4 million Chinese visitors to Europe each year.” David Boyce continued: “China is the largest outbound travel market in the world and one that Tourism Ireland is committed to growing over the coming years. In 2018, we welcomed an estimated 100,000 Chinese visitors to the island of Ireland.”

All Foróige volunteers receive training in order to provide a safe environment for young people. Training involves the ‘Child Protection Awareness Programme and ‘Starting Out in Foróige
F
oróige is bringing a range of exciting technology youth clubs to the North West and is looking for volunteers with an interest in coding, music production, programming robotics, or engineering to bring skills to young people. These Foróige TechSpace clubs are in partnership with Camara Education, proudly sponsored by Google.org. Clubs
tend to meet one evening per week where young people are inspired to use their native interest in technology to become digital creators. For more information contact Cora on 086 0100877 or email cora.maughan@foroige.ie. The project aims to bring the development of digital creativity to communities within Sligo, Leitrim, North Roscommon, South Donegal
and North Mayo. Skills in technology are becoming increasingly important for 21st century living and employment and can be learned in a TechSpace club led by Foróige volunteers. These clubs are made of young people aged 10 to 17 years old from the local community who enjoy working with technology or for those who would like to start. Adult leaders in Foróige TechSpaces usually include those with computer skills, leaders in a Foróige youth groups, tech professionals or students. Foróige TechSpace Leaders will receive training and ongoing support to assist with the development of their TechSpaces. This includes training in three areas of computer science (CS) including the Scratch programming language, BBC Micro:bits and emerging technologies. Once training is complete in Scratch, leaders gain access to Camara’s online resources, receive an allocation of refurbished laptops for their club, ongoing support from a Foróige youth officer and access to Foróige training, events and awards. Foróige TechSpaces are operating all around the country and are producing exciting projects in film and music production, game design and robotics using the scratch programming language and BBC Micro:bits. The ESB Creative Tech Fest is an event that takes place each year and celebrates the work of young people, volunteers and youth workers who have been involved in the TechSpace programme. This year it is happening in Dublin’s Convention Centre on the 30th of October where young people have an opportunity to showcase their digital creativity. Creativity in technology is hugely beneficial to young people, it helps build curiosity and confidence and allows them to develop skills in
Programme’. Our next available ‘Starting Out Training’ has been scheduled for Tuesday 15th of October in the C.R.I.B youth project from 7.30pm – 11pm. Cora Maughan said she is keen to connect with any community or volunteer that would like to discuss becoming involved in establishing a Foróige TechSpace club or bringing computer science to an existing Foróige club.

SMALL LIVING ROOM IDEAS HOMES
How to decorate a cosy and compact sitting room, snug or lounge
& GARDENS
I
f you are looking for small living room ideas, take inspiration from our gallery of beautiful small space designs to unlock the potential of your compact living room. When you are redecorating, one of the easiest ways to make a small living room feel more spacious is to inject soft, pastel shades into your design scheme to keep the room warm and inviting.
SWAP YOUR SOFA FOR A SNUGGLER
A bulky sofa can gobble up living room space quickly, so if you have an especially tiny room, ask yourself if you could manage with an equally comfy but far less invasive ‘snuggles’. Otherwise known as a 1.5 seater, it can easily accommodate a parent and child – or a cuddly couple. This room also employs another neat trick that’s genius for small rooms that back onto gardens – a botanical decorating scheme. ‘Pretty florals are perfect for blurring the lines between indoors and outdoors,’ says our Senior Features Editor Stephanie Durrant. Creating this visual link will draw the eye outside and again make the rom feel bigger.
AVOID A CORRIDOR EFFECT WITH A CORNER SOFA
This reception room is quite long and thin, and previously the owners had a long dark sofa, which only added to the corridor effect. By swapping it for a pale L-shaped design, they’ve created a cosy corner and opened up the space. There’s now also room for more seating by way of large floor cushions.
INVEST IN MULTIFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE
When it comes to small living rooms, hard-working, multi-functional pieces of furniture are your friends. Take this coffee table, which doubles as a storage bin, allowing you to clear away any clutter at a moment’s notice. You could also invest in lidded stools, or even a sofa with storage under the seat. Add wall mirrors and furniture with reflective surfaces into your design scheme to maximise the amount of natural light in your living room to make it feel bigger and brighter.
DRAW ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE DOOR USE STOOLS AS SEATS
The first thing you should never do if you have a small living room is cram in too much furniture. Instead, choose a sofa that’s proportional to the size of the space, and if you’re still in need of more seating, use stools. They’ll take up far less room than bulky armchairs, and can be easily manoeuvred. If you like your living room cute and cosy, try clustering colourco-ordinated objects together – from pictures to cushions – to create a coherent look. Make the most of natural light in the room by keeping window dressings simple. If you are lucky enough to have high ceilings, full-length curtains are a good choice as they’ll draw the eye upwards and create the illusion of space, even if the square footage in your living room is a bit meagre. Subtle stripe designs add to the feeling of extra depth. If you do choose curtains, make sure they can be swept away from the window for light or alternatively go for Roman or roller blinds.
Whether it’s a bijou country cottage or a studio flat, it can be tricky to create a relaxing bolt hole when your front door opens straight into your living room. Take the emphasis away from the entrance by creating a focal point with thoughtfully arranged seating. Here, a neat twoseater and comfy armchair have been placed at a 90-degree angle to a slim side table and lamp. A cool neutral palette works beautifully with the rustic plasterwork and the roller blind makes the most of a recessed window to add extra square inches to the room.

i my name is Caroline Brown. I opened the doors to Enniscrone Launderette on the 10th June 2016 my very first try at a business needless to say scarey but very excited at the opportunity I had got to take over the business from the previous owners and to try and fullfill all expectations of a brilliant service for the community. Indeed I had great support from my family and friends which made all the effort worth wile. I had previously worked in a very well established dry cleaners in ballina a few yrs prior to this so I knew the ropes and I knew the rest would follow so I guess I was willing to try and give it a go at running my own business. Not allways easy but what can I say definightly worth while. 2 yrs on and I enjoy every minute of what I do and I can say now 100% I'm so pleased I took the chance I have met many lovely customers that without these people my business would not be a success so thank you all . As I have great love for my work I allways think only the best for my customers so I only use Procter and gamble products and also give a wide choice of detergents and softners to my customers. Most months I do offers and competitions just as a little give back to the customers so follow my Facebook page enniscrone laundrette for updates.

or a child, a bedroom is more than just a place to sleep. It's a spot to do schoolwork, play games, rough-house, read, daydream, visit with friends and stockpile toys. As you plan out your child's bedroom, you'll need a space that serves all those functions — and is comfortable and practical for several years to come.

Latest BEDROOM HOMES designs to watch & GARDENS
D
o you know that revamping your house every once in a while is required for your mental health? That may sound a little odd, but it is true; the design of your house play part in changing your mood. Besides, your house is your comfort zone because it is the only place where you get the chance to leave your responsibilities and duties at the threshold of your door, and take some time to rest and relax, shutting the noises of the world out. However, some people are satisfied with just leaving their house just the way it is without changing anything. That may vary from one person to another, but no matter how people may perceive this matter differently, you usually can’t help but fall in love with all the newly launched designs. Even if you are not the type of the person who loves changing their houses’ decoration, your bedroom can be excluded from that equation, especially because it is where you can put your exhausted body at rest or enjoy reading your favorite book on your bed without being interrupted, so it has to be greatly taken care of in order to keep yourself away from falling victim for temporary depression due to your boring environment. That does not mean that you should ignore the rest of your house; above and beyond, your preferred decorations and the way you choose to design your place can reveal a lot about your personality, thoughts, and emotions. Also, getting your home to stay trendy and updated can make you receive a lot of compliments from whoever visits your place and that will definitely boost your mood and elevate your energy level. Everybody surely likes having a place that they dearly love, so they do not find themselves staying outdoors longer that they stay at their own place, so save yourself that trouble by taking care of your home and keeping it trendy. Check out these latest home design trends.
PECULIAR LIGHTING
Going bizarre is not surprising anymore; in fact, it has become one of the best techniques to get along with the trending stuff in all aspects and, gladly, interior design was not excluded. Installing peculiar lighting in one of your house’s rooms has become an embraced trend in. Moreover, it is deemed to be the quickest way to revamp your room without having to undergo drastic changes. Accordingly, feel free to go ahead and enjoy installing some few and far between lighting systems around your place to effortlessly make it look trendy.
THE POWER OF NAVY BLUE
Navy blue has successfully made its way to the top trendiest home designs recently. It has become popular in no time since it has been competing with the popularity of black and, gladly, it adds the same elegant and sophistication that the black color adds. Besides, it has been proven to be a great team member since it can greatly partner up with almost any color and still add intricacy to your room.
ROMANTIC VIBES
According to interior designers, there are colors that are deemed to be romantic; these ones have become the new trend in designing bedrooms exceptionally. These colors include raspberry pink, deep ruby red, and caramel; mostly, they are colors that create Valentine’s atmosphere in your room.

Simple steps to increase your feeling of wellbeing people is essential for our sense of wellbeing, whether it’s friends, family, community members or colleagues. Time spent developing meaningful relationships contributes to a deeper sense of wellbeing. Stay active – Staying active doesn’t need to mean a rigorous workout routine. Take a walk, spend some time in your garden, go swimming or take up tennis with a friend. Finding an activity you like will make it easier to make it part of your life. Spark your curiosity – Learning new skills is a way for us to feel capable, gain a sense of achievement and build confidence. Stay curious and look for new opportunities to learn as you go through life – it’s never to late to learn an instrument, try a new hobby or master a new technique.
T
he pressures of modern life mean people are more stressed than ever before; juggling careers, health, family, finance and everything in between can take its toll if we don’t find ways to manage our stress and prioritise our wellbeing. Whether you’re navigating through a difficult time or simply trying to keep daily stresses from clouding
your outlook on life, we’ve got the simple tips and tricks you need to increase your feeling of wellbeing and stay positive whatever life throws at you. Wellbeing vs happiness Mental wellbeing is about more than just happiness. Overall wellbeing involves both the mind and body, and a deep sense of wellbeing is not just about
happiness but about living in a way that’s good for us and good for others. A sense of wellbeing isn’t about eliminating all the bad things from our lives and only focusing on the things that are good and easy, but rather finding some balance and having the resilience to cope with unusual or difficult situations when they arise. Many of the things we think will improve our wellbeing – wealth,

more possessions, or expensive holidays – don’t actually lead to lasting improvements on our lives. Despite Ireland being richer than ever before, evidence from census and population studies show we don’t feel any happier than we did 50 years ago despite increases in wealth and access to new goods and technologies. In the last 20 years, extensive research has helped psychologists narrow down a list of five key factors that help promote a real, lasting sense of mental wellbeing in our lives. Here’s what to do: Find a connection – Loneliness is especially challenging for us as we age and our families move away or friends die. Connecting with other
Give back – Giving of ourselves to others helps us feel part of a community and feel our lives have meaning. Giving back can be as simple as sharing a smile with a stranger, opening a door, saying thank you or sharing a kind word with a friend. Volunteering is a great way to combine giving back with a social element and often leads us to learn something new as well. Are there any causes close to your heart you could get involved with? Be mindful – Mindfulness is an important buzzword but also a great way to improve your sense of wellbeing. At its heart, it’s all about living in the present moment and appreciating what’s around you right now. Being aware of how you feel and think can help you appreciate the good things in your life and bounce back after challenging experiences.
It can be very expensive and time consuming trying out different treatments to get rid of head lice. Our single treatment takes up to 90 minutes and removes all the head lice and their eggs. Phone: 087-0967525
