CACI non-surgical facials
Voted No:1 Anti Ageing Treatment on TVs ‘10 Years Younger’ For full details of treatments take a look at their website www.hairbeauty.me or call them on 0121 236 5845. I went Christodoulou’s hair & beauty salon for a Dermalogica Luxury Spa Facial which includes a face, neck and shoulder massage and received a little ray of luxury in my normally hectic life. I am new to facials so was not quite sure what to expect and was just a bit nervous if I’m honest. I had no reason to be though, it was a thoroughly pleasant experience - I was very well looked after and came out surrounded by a healthy glow and with such soft smooth skin - I am an instant convert. The beauty salon has seven smart treatment rooms and a comfortable communal waiting area, so is great for a single treatment and perfect if you are going with a group for a pampering party. The hair salon is very popular and always buzzing, partly because of their relaxed and professional approach and partly their very reasonable prices. So don’t miss the opportunity for some great CACI treatments at their open evening on 19 May. Places are limited so please call to book for a 5pm, 6pm or 7pm treatment, on 0121 236 5845.

Spring treatment Early summer treatment Late summer treatment Autumn/winter treatment
The first three of these treatments help to improve the lawn by application of a fertiliser and a weed-killer with the final treatment being a liquid moss control and winter feed. From these treatments you can expect to see a thicker, greener lawn with a reduction in the number of weeds and moss present. In addition to these treatments, GreenThumb also offers hollow-tine aeration and lawn scarification. These processes help to reduce compaction and thatch levels, again resulting in a lusher, greener lawn. Finally, GreenThumb can also offer specialist treatments to control diseases such as

Beautiful windows and doors to see and touch The Midlands’ only period window and door showroom has tripled in size to showcase a greater range of products including a full-size orangery.
Replacing your windows and doors can be one of the biggest jobs you will ever undertake on your home. And you only want to do it once so it’s worth getting it right first time. So often we have to put our trust into someone who comes into our own home to provide a quote and show us pictures in brochures or on-line, or maybe hand over small samples. But now for the first time you can step into a fully furnished showroom and see and touch, and even walk through examples of the finished products giving you a very clear idea of how your home could look with new doors and windows from The Harborne Sash Window Company.
14
The products offered by The Harborne Sash Window Company and on display in the showroom include a whole range of contemporary and traditional windows and doors. And taking centre stage you will find a stunning fully constructed engineered hardwood oranagery complete with stunning roof lantern, bi-folding doors, French doors, and handmade stone sills. The beauty of seeing the products up close in this way is that you can appreciate their superior locking mechanisms, the outstanding quality of finish, and the absolute attention to every detail. The Harborne Sash Window Company has a reputation for quality and excellent service, and works closely with Timber Windows and the English Glass House to deliver the best quality products available in a time frame that suits you. Once you have decided what you want the lead time is just 6-8 weeks. The products are crafted in a temperature controlled environment and are fully finished prior to installation.
For advertising enquiries call 689 0432 or go to www.swanpublishing.org
All frames come with a thirty year guarantee and wooden products come with an eight year paint guarantee. Yes, that means you won’t have to paint your timber windows for at least eight years after they have been installed. The special glass used reduces heat loss by up to 50% more than standard double glazing and has special UV filters to protect furniture, carpets and curtains from sun damage. The high tech glass is designed to retain more heat in the winter and keep the room cooler in the summer. The Harborne Sash Window Company has a team of highly qualified designers and installers which means they can see the project right through from initial survey and design to installation with minimum disruption. Carpets and furniture is protected with sticky back plastic and dust covers and the workmen will clean up at the end of each day they are there.
If you love your house and want new windows or doors that will enhance its character then you should go along and see for yourselves what The Harborne Sash Window Company has to offer. Their showroom is at: Studio 6, Weekin Works 112-116 Park Hill Road Harborne B17 9HD You can simply pop in Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 5.30pm or Saturday between 10.00am and 4.00pm.

The National Memorial Arboretum in Burton-on-Trent is an extraordinary and unique place. It is Britain’s living and growing tribute to the service and sacrifice of so many for our freedom. In March 2011 Judy Dyke of Tyndallwoods welcomed clients and friends to join her in visiting the Arboretum.
It is a place of remembrance and contemplation but also of celebration of those who gave, and continue to give, so much so that we can enjoy our lives and the beauty that surrounds us. Tyndallwoods Solicitors in Harborne have raised funds for the Edward’s Trust Memorial Garden and also for the extension of the car park of this special place.
