Girls Just Wanna Have Sun! Arlene Major I got you singing, already don’t I? All joking aside, sun care is a serious matter! UV and UB rays can do your skin good and bad. According to the Vitamin Cloud Council, human skin can make large amounts of Vitamin D when exposed and the sun is high in the sky. Your body is designed to get what it needs by producing it when bare skin is exposed to sunlight. The important part is UVB/UVA or Ultraviolet rays. What are these unique rays? UVA are aging rays and UVB are the ones that burn. Now the think about it: you hear to get out and get some sun but never about the real depth of why. Shouldn’t your skin be protected from the sun at all costs? UV, UB and UVB/UVA rays can harm as well as help. Let me explain.
SPF is needed when you go out. Melanoma and other skin cancers can be aggravated if your skin is not protected. Sunscreen acts as a reflector so that your skin gets minimal damage. Melanin, the dark pigment produced by skin helps protect the skin against sun damage from excess sunlight. It acts as a natural sunscreen and absorbs the suns UV rays to defend against sunburn and skin cancers. Not everyone has a high amount of melanin and therefore spend more time in the sun! SPF gives you the protection you need and want if you are going to spend a long time under the big yellow ball!
Why SPF? First SPF stands for sun protection factor. The higher the SPF is measurable to how long your skin will be protected from Ultraviolet rays! So, protect yourself! Everything from your makeup to your lotion. Mary Kay has a line of products that do just that. Makeup and skincare make going out and being sun kissed a beautiful thing!

Spotlight Wendy K. Benson and Elizabeth A. Myers “Most of us understandably feel vulnerable and don’t feel confident when we are sitting in an exam room or lying in a hospital bed, but we can take steps immediately to help feel that way. We need to own our experiences, to let others know how important this critical information is to us, that we are truly invested in our own health and well-being, and that we are passionate about living a healthy, full life with an increased understanding.” Our book is The Confident Patient, Successfully Navigate Your Healthcare Journey. The Confident Patient is written as an extension of our own philosophy: it is important for us to help guide, reassure, and support you and your family, especially when you are dealing with a healthcare crisis.

Spotlight Elaine Curry I am Elaine Curry, an NLP practitioner, a lifestyle and success coach. I live with my beautiful daughter Leanne and my loving supportive partner Amine. I am a strong advocate for mental health, developing and managing health and well-being programmes, supporting healthy ageing, building resilience, effective communication and practicing self-love. I had a traditional Christian family upbringing in a small town in Northern Ireland with two hardworking parents. Between the ages of 20- 38 I found myself spiraling into in very traumatic experiences. I turned my adversity into my catalyst for my growth, with massive transformations and focused on personal development. I have transformed past wounds and trauma experiences into wisdom, to live a life more fully with acceptance, self-love and forgiveness. When I started to pay more attention to all areas of my life in a holistic way I returned to balance, simplicity, freedom and wholeness. I wrote this book to be a life coaching self-help book, giving the reader a real-life guide to a happy liberated life with essential skills, daily rituals, habits, behaviours and values that successful and happy people practice daily. The 6 different sections of this book will give you in-depth lessons and thoughts that will change your thinking, your behaviour and your actions all for the better. It aims to let you evaluate your life, be your own life coach and take action with my secret formula for happiness. This isn’t a fixing or curing book, it’s a self-development book that will enrich your thoughts – giving you practical exercises. The lessons for you in this book are based on wholeness and harmony in all 6 areas of your life focusing on the mind, body, relationships, career, lifestyle and your soul connection or purpose. From overcoming relationship breakups, domestic violence, trauma, depression, anxiety, being a single mum, family issues, unhealthy relationships and health challenges I share my valuable lessons will aim to give readers a different lens on life challenges and a sense of hope. I explore the truth behind powerful transformations with my unique approach, blending the wisdom of spirituality, psychology, and neuroscience with strategic coaching. Awakening women to solve their greatest problems and access their inner wisdom. As a life coach I am willing to be vulnerable, raw, and brutally honest in my writing.
This book will lead you to answers that speak of grace and gratitude, as well as compromise and willpower. It contains plenty of wisdom that you can use to live a life that you can be proud of! Many women who come to me are stuck in high stress, experience depression, have bad habits, keep finding incompatible partners, have unhealthy relationships, have a poor love life, have weight or health problems, conflicts with family, find it hard to forgive others, live in the past, or they are always exhausted and battle challenges daily.
I want to be able to reach out to women guiding them through similar life challenges with tools and resources to build strong resilience, so that can bounce back after any challenge thrown at them. To know that living an elite life full of happiness and abundance is possible. If you want to change your life for the better, you certainly can – living your life with unconditional love, pleasure, passion, selfacceptance, selfrespect, excellence and freedom.
With a healthy mindset I aim to guide women and their families towards a liberated life full of self-love, empowerment, positive connection, and inspired action. Elaine is dedicated to connecting women to their personal power and intuition, so they can heal themselves and design a life they love. Women who want more from life. Women who want to thrive, flourish and inspire others. Life Coaches and women who want a liberated life with happiness and purpose.
Through her book, resources, workshops and coaching, she works with women to create more fulfilled lives. She is also an authentic and inspires women with a passion to show women change is possible. I am planning 3 more books!!! • Control Psoriasis -Don’t Let It Control You • The School of Love – Understanding Love & Relationships • Finding faith – My Spiritual Journey My book will be available Online http://www.elitelivingacademy.com and on Amazon!

It opens doors to let others share their story and frees their heart and soul. It heals you and it heals others. It may touch others in the way you write it, the way you share at the right time. It can unlock someone else’s prison. One sentence may stick in a person’s head that can change their life forever. It took a long time for to tell story without crying. When you stop crying and tell your story in an empowering way – you are healed.
Spotlight Maureen Pisani
"Go for it! Do it!’ I believe that each of us has a message and that that message will resonate with others. Even though we all feel like we’re the only ones going through hell…. When we hear about how others overcame their struggles it strengthens our own determination and motivation. Reading their stories, helps each of us overcome our hurdles." I am Maureen Pisani, a Motivational Speaker, an Author and a Hypnotherapist. Originally from the Island of Malta, I came to this glorious country for a better future. I’ve had many ups and downs and have survived and transformed those experiences from ‘disasters’ to lessons learned. I’m at a point that between those experiences, the wisdom accrued, the education I have and the care I share result in my unique ability to help others go from existing to thriving. Originally from the Island of Malta, Maureen has been through several chapters of life. As an Author and Motivational Speaker, she utilizes her experiences to highlight how each of us has hidden strengths within us. As a Hypnotherapist, Maureen is at the Mastery level in all 4 modalities - Hypnotherapy, Therapeutic Guided Imagery, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Reiki Energy work; and teaches the first three. In addition, she is the ONLY Hypnotherapist who has been an Director and Instructor in two Nationally Accredited Colleges. Because of her medical and scientific training and background, she is also the ONLY Hypnotherapist who has co-authored a research paper issued by the Neuroscience Department at UCLA. She is the Resident Therapist at the renowned Chopra Center in La Costa, San Diego, California. Maureen has authored 8 Hypnotherapy books and produced over 25 Hypnotic CDs. She is the Founder of Pro-Thrive Science-Based Hypnotherapy where she works with groups and individuals, to help them go from just surviving to truly thriving. What inspired you to write your book? I knew I connected with clients while in session, but I wanted to reach larger audiences, and build a following. A friend mentioned to me “Maureen for people to trust they need to get to know you.” I have had quite a unique life, and as you’ll see as you read the book, I’ve experienced situations regular people can’t even imagine. The book has many aspects that will connect with a variety of audiences. Yes, it’s all true. Yes, I’ve lived it all. The reason I shared so much and became so vulnerable is because when I was going through my disasters… all I felt was ‘alone’. As a therapist that’s exactly the feeling I never
want anyone else to feel. As a therapist I go above and beyond what’s expected of me to ensure that each of my clients knows I’m there for them. I take the reader through the experiences that formed me; have them go through the dark experiences to experience first-hand how deep my emotions were. Then there’s a turning point when I start sharing the lessons, the insights, the optimism. At the end of the book, I want each reader to acknowledge – if Maureen went through all that and she’s ok; then I can overcome too! Who is your audience? My audience, I expect, is primarily women, probably from their 30s and older. Ladies, who have been facing the harshness of life and by this point have a couple of dings and scratches and are wondering when it’ll get better, easier. Are you planning another book? Yes, I am planning to write another book. Technically, this is my 10th book. I have also authored 8 hypnotherapy books, and a fictional romance. My next book is going to be the benefits of hypnotherapy. It’ll be a collection of descriptions of clients’ presenting complaints, how they presented, what we did in their session, and the results they received. Each of the clients chosen, is going to include their own testimonial. Yes, it’s all legit and the clients have already given me permission to utilize their session publicly. They get to maintain anonymity in the book.
