Karols Korner November already, where has this year gone? The older I get the years seem to fly by, I think it’s time for me to be kind to myself and have a massage or some reflexology....something just for me. In today’s fast and full-on world we must find time to nourish ourselves, it is so vital to do that, to take time off from the stresses of everyday life. Maybe take up a new hobby or get involved in new things, but just make yourself a priority, because it’s only when we are in great form in every way that we are able to give back to our families and friends. Christmas is the perfect time to spoil our loved ones with a voucher for a massage, spa day or even a meal out. It’s about memories and shared experiences, spending quality time together. Those are the things that will be treasured in years to come. Have a great time looking after yourself. Karol

Life Begins Second chance careers: can you make it at 50+? channel, ‘Jo Good – Middle $JHG 0LQ[¡

Turning your back on a career path you’ve worked hard to establish isn’t easy at any time of life, but switching jobs LQ \RXU Ă€IWLHV DQG VL[WLHV FDQ be particularly daunting. At a time when one in four people between age 50 and the state pension date is out of work, it’s encouraging to hear about two people who have successfully re-invented their careers, gaining a new lease of life in the process. Jo Good is best known for presenting a successful show on BBC Radio London, but she recently took the bold decision to step away from the microphone and try her luck as a YouTube vlogger. Vloggers (short for ‘videobloggers’) post videos of themselves on the internet, hoping to build up an audience for the type of content they RIIHU :KLOH H[SORULQJ WKH ZRUN of YouTube vloggers, Jo was struck by how few offered vlogs designed for older people. Consequently last year she set up her own YouTube 12

“It’s the raw, unedited, rough round the edges way of recording my daily life that attracted me to vlogging,â€? Jo H[SODLQV ´,¡P UHDOO\ WU\LQJ WR SURYH WKDW D VL[W\ WKUHH \HDU old has a life worth watching.â€? Although Jo’s subscribers can currently be counted in their thousands rather than millions, her strategy is clearly working. Her growing list of followers – mainly aged between 50 and 70 – prove that there’s an appetite for vlogs designed to appeal to an older audience. However, while Jo has made a conscious decision to forge a new career path, 59-yearold Matthew Holderness was forced into a change of direction when ill health forced him to leave the teaching job he loved. “My condition made it hard for PH WR Ă€QG D FRQYHQWLRQDO MRE so I decided to focus on my transferable skills instead,â€? he says. “As an English teacher my work was mainly focused on creative writing, so I began to wonder how I might be able to use that commercially.â€? Matthew signed up to a freelancers’ website, offering his services as a copywriter,

and quickly began to build up a list of clients. Now he works full time for a digital marketing agency. “I’m part of a workforce based in several different countries,â€? says Matthew. “Although I operate from home, I feel globally connected.

PARENTING

Making Christmas Extra Special ELF ON A SHELF The original idea behind Elf on a Shelf was that an elf would arrive at the start of Christmas to watch over children and report back to Father Christmas. However, the trend has changed in recent years to become a bit more fun (and a bit less creepy). Now the craze is for the elf to get up to mischief overnight, whether it’s PDNLQJ VQRZ DQJHOV LQ à RXU tying the children’s shoelaces together or wrapping the loo in Christmas paper. (Search Pinterest for inspiration.) KINDNESS ELVES Not keen on the idea of a pint-sized prankster? Kindness elves have become a popular alternative. They still move each night but rather than tricks, they leave notes praising the child for a good deed or suggesting a kind act the child could do, such as visiting an elderly neighbour or making a card for a relative.

Beauty Time for some TLC by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

Central heating and cold weather can take their toll on your skin, so make the most of the darker evenings by indulging in a welldeserved pampering session. Relaxing in a warm bath with music, candles and a glass of wine is one of my favourite winter experiences. If you’re the same, check out Tisserand Aromatherapy’s Ascot Bath Oils Collection (£35). As you’d expect IURP 7LVVHUDQG HDFK RI WKH ÀYH EDWK RLOV LV fragranced with pure essential oils, so they smell lovely but aren’t overpowering. Choose between Misty Mellow, Sweet Solace, Hope & Cheer, Blissful Joy and Happy Elation, depending on which mood you want to create. My personal favourite is Hope & Cheer with its uplifting blend of ginger, lemongrass and rosemary. The Ascot range launched earlier this year and also includes a body wash, hand lotion and more. See www.tisserand.com/ ascot-collection. Many of us suffer from dry skin patches, chapped lips and sore hands in the winter. A multi-purpose balm can work wonders. Weleda’s Skin Food (£12.50) is my usual go-to balm, but I’ve been reaching for ESPA’s Skin Rescue Balm (£29) lately. It’s made from beeswax and a long list of plant and seed oils, including castor, orange 20

Use Locally - Issue 67 November 2018 peel and blackcurrant. The balm is incredibly moisturising and a little goes a long way, see www.espaskincare.com.

I generally prefer a wash-off cleanser in the summer and a wipe-off one in colder months. I’ve switched to Odylique’s Creamy Coconut Cleanser (£18) for winter. The cleanser has won multiple awards and for good reason. The blend of extra-virgin olive oil and coconut oil do a great job of removing makeup (even waterproof mascara), and they also nourish the skin as they cleanse. Rose extracts KHOS WR VRRWKH LQà DPPDWLRQ ZKLOH OHPRQ GHWR[LÀHV 7KH FOHDQVHU LV VXLWDEOH IRU DOO VNLQ types, even those prone to eczema, rosacea or other skin complaints. It’s very light so won’t clog pores, but it’s still rich enough to leave skin feeling pampered, softer and more hydrated. Massage the cleanser in and then remove it with a damp muslin cloth for a daily cleanse and exfoliation session in one. See www.odylique.co.uk. Fancy a full spa experience? If a weekend away is out of the question, why not look into a day spa experience with a friend? Spas often offer 2 for 1 deals that work out at around £20 a person. You’ll usually get use of the pool and other facilities, as well as a dressing gown and slippers. Or why not splash out on a package that includes a treatment and lunch? Try searching for offers on www. spaseekers.com as you’ll often get a better deal than going direct to the spa itself. Buying a gift for someone who deserves a bit of pampering? Spa Seekers offers vouchers, or try www.buyagift.co.uk for gift experiences. The Smartbox Indulgent Pamper Treat costs £39.99 and gives the recipient the choice of a wide range of treatments at venues across the UK. So whether they fancy a spa day in Berkshire or a massage in Manchester, they’ll have you to thank for the experience.

Great Health, Wellbeing and Fitness Gifts

WEIGHT LOSS GIFTS Warning: Only buy these for someone who has stated they need, want and plan to lose weight! • Slimming World offer 6-week and 12-week gift cards for new members (£34.75 and £59.50 respectively). Prices are lower for existing members or those over 60.

Available from www. weightwatchersshop.co.uk. • LighterLife don’t offer gift vouchers either, but you can buy food packs for friends interested in trying the plan from around £15. Available from www.lighterlife. com/shop/foodpacks/bundles. html. MINDFULNESS GIFTS NHS doctors are now

recommending mindfulness to improve mental health and manage long-term pain. • The Introduction to Mindfulness Gift Box uses simple task cards and a weeklong challenge to help users learn simple mindfulness techniques and integrate them easily and effectively into their day. It includes four token gifts to celebrate successes. Available from Amazon, ÂŁ4.95. • Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams and Danny Penman, an NHS ‘Book on Prescription’, teaches Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Just a few minutes’ practice a GD\ FDQ EULQJ JUHDW EHQHĂ€WV not just for those struggling with mental health issues but for anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing in today’s hectic world. Available as a book, eBook, audio CD and CD-ROM from various retailers including Amazon and WHSmith. WELLBEING GIFTS • Spa Days Red Letter Days offer spa days from ÂŁ39 (ÂŁ59 for couples) and for that special couple, twonight spa breaks from ÂŁ390 (includes lunch, one-day spa pass and accommodation in a luxury yurt). Available from www. redletterdays.co.uk. • The Positive Planner This hardback 12-week planner and journal features inspirational quotes, art therapy, mindfulness activities and a mood tracker (noting

FITNESS GIFTS • Gaiam Beginners’ Pilates Kit This includes a body-sculpting ball, resistance band and instructional workout DVD, JUHDW IRU ÀUVW WLPHUV RU improvers. Available from John Lewis, Amazon and other retailers at around £26.49. • Weight Training Equipment Experts recommend weight training because muscle burns more calories, even at rest, than fat – and we’re prone to losing muscle tone as we age. For beginners, light dumbbells and/or wrist and ankle weights are ideal. Kettlebells are popular, and for more serious weightlifters, barbell sets will allow them to add or remove weights to suit them. All available from major retailers such as Argos, Amazon and John Lewis, and ÀWQHVV VWRUHV RU ZHEVLWHV Pairs of low weight vinyl dumbbells, 2 kg kettlebells and pairs of wrist and ankle weights all start from around £5. Expect to pay at least £28 for a barbell set but check reviews – some poorer quality VHWV KDYH LQIHULRU À[WXUHV WKDW allow weights to slip off.

Home Products Hallway Storage

By Katherine Sorrell

Coats, shoes, umbrellas and scarves – with so much to store in what is often a small space, it’s important to choose products that work hard as well as provide a good-looking welcome to your home. Simplicity is the key to this coat hook made from distressed wrought iron hooks and a wedge of reclaimed elm. Withnail coat hook, £65, Loaf.

This minimal, hard-wearing design adds a bold accent of fashionable yellow. Essentials Alana shoe rack, ÂŁ69, Made.com. A pivoting mirror is a great addition to a useful wall rack with hooks. Utilita mirrored silver wall rack with hooks, ÂŁ225, Artisanti.

Add character and heaps of storage with an industrial-style bench stand, reminiscent of a school corridor. Harlem vintage industrial hall bench, ÂŁ545, Alexander & Pearl.

5REXVW DQG VWXUG\ WKLV URZ RI ÀYH aluminium hooks is ideal for heavy items and has an elegant, vintage style. Coat hooks, £24.95, live laugh love.

MAKE AN ENTRANCE • When storage space is at a premium – as it so often is in a hall – use the full height of your walls as much as possible. Tall, shallow units are very useful, while little-used items can be stored on a shelf above hooks and racks. • Try to unify design so that your hallway blends seamlessly with the rooms it adjoins. A coat cupboard could have the same style doors as kitchen units, for example, or hooks could complement your door handles. A colour theme will tie the look together, too. • Cupboards or consoles with doors and drawers help conceal mess, while baskets are a great way to store bits and bobs. Storage benches are also great choices, providing somewhere to sit while putting on footwear and the chance to personalise the space with pretty cushions or upholstery. • Make it easy for children to keep their stuff tidy by hanging their coat hooks at a lower level and labelling shelves, baskets or boxes so they can kick off their shoes and (hopefully) pop them away instantly. 28

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

Things are getting serious on the romantic front in early November. A supportive New Moon on the 7th makes it a great time to let down your defences with someone who has demonstrated their loyalty. On the 23rd, the Full Moon brings troubling news about a legal matter. It may be better to settle out of court or drop this fight altogether.

TAURUS April 21st - May 21st An exciting opportunity to team up with a highly creative person will arrive on or around the 7th. That's when an intensifying New Moon prompts you to take on a partner. Whether you're looking for love or want to form a business partnership, it's time to make your move. The Full Moon on the 23rd could bring a challenge to your financial position. A contractor could deduct money for expenses or delays, making you very upset.

A domestic matter will command your attention on or around the 7th, courtesy of the New Moon. If you've been looking for a place to live, you'll find a lovely, secluded property close to a body of water. This will be a terrific investment. On the 23rd, you will be inspired to break ranks with a troubled organisation. You don't want your reputation tarnished.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st Spend the first half of November resting and relaxing. On the 7th, the New Moon will prompt you to withdraw from the party scene. Enjoying the peace and quiet of home will be therapeutic. Take this opportunity to read for pleasure, listen to music and spend time with your pets. The Full Moon on the 23rd puts strain on a close relationship.

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

August 24th - Sept 23rd

December 22nd - Jan 20th

Launching a blog or podcast on the 7th will attract fame and acclaim. That's when the New Moon will showcase your communication abilities. Being able to share your ideas with an adoring public will be a good use of this talent. The Full Moon on the 23rd brings pressure on the career front. You'll be asked to assume some unpleasant responsibilities.

The New Moon on the 7th is great for joining a sports team, political organisation or humanitarian group. Donating your time and energy to a meaningful cause will lift your spirits. You're tired of going from home to work and back again. On the 23rd, the Full Moon will bring a health concern to your attention. Talk to a doctor about a nagging ache or pain.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

The New Moon on the 7th is ideal for landing a job or hiring help. If you're looking for work, you'll find a job that involves working on a commission basis. On the 23rd, the Full Moon tempts you to overhaul your look. Any changes you make should be temporary; as there is a good chance you won't like the results.

CANCER June 22nd - July 23rd If you're recovering from a bad breakup, it's time to return to the dating game. The New Moon on the 7th will put you in the path of an attentive admirer who makes you excited to be alive. You share many of the same interests and values; a powerful physical chemistry is the cherry on this luscious cake. The Full Moon on the 23rd urges you to let go of an old grudge.

The New Moon on the 7th is perfect for asking for a raise or landing a lucrative job. Instead of increasing your standard of living, put your excess income into a savings account, where it will protect you from financial uncertainty. On the 23rd, a Full Moon will create legal difficulties. It may be impossible to move forward with a business plan until you get official permission.

SCORPIO October 24th - Nov 22nd The New Moon on the 7th invites you to undergo a makeover. Updating your hairstyle, getting a cosmetic procedure or revamping your wardrobe will lift your spirits. Don't be surprised when you become a hot commodity on the romance market. On the 23rd, a bonus or royalty payment will be less than you expected. Trying to recoup more money will be an exercise in futility.

An exciting career opportunity will arrive on the 7th, courtesy of the passionate New Moon. Being able to make money by doing work you love will be empowering. The Full Moon on the 23rd warns you against taking risks. Confessing a crush or making an investment will result in a big disappointment. Maintain the status quo during the second half of November.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th The New Moon on the 7th invites you to expand your horizons. Take this opportunity to earn an advanced degree, travel abroad or publish some work of your own. Venturing into unfamiliar territory will attract fame and acclaim. On the 23rd, family matters will weigh on your heart. Arguing about religion and politics with a relative creates stress.

Gardening The Great Cover-Up

by Pippa Greenwood needs little maintenance and pretty well looks after itself. It will need watering during the ÀUVW \HDU RU WZR HVSHFLDOO\ LQ dry weather, so that the roots have a chance to establish. One of the best uses for this sort of planting is on a steep slope, where access for weeding, watering, feeding DQG SUXQLQJ LV GLIÀFXOW RU HYHQ dangerous. The initial planting up may be a tough job, but once growing well a ground cover-clad slope will be far simpler to look after than a steep grassy slope.

There is a lot to be said for some variation in the height of the plants in your garden. Any garden, whatever its size or location, will look more interesting with ‘ups and down’ in the planting, so by all means include some tall plants as well as those which are just a bit closer to the soil. Don’t forget how attractive and useful ground-cover planting can be, covering the soil with good-looking foliage which, in some cases, is decorated with D IDLU VPDWWHULQJ RI Ă RZHUV RU berries.

38

Ground-cover plants are also often available in potted form, especially if it is some of the smaller, less woody plants which appeal to you. These can be planted now too, but as their roots come well-encased in compost, they can be planted at any time of the year. For best results avoid extremely cold and wet weather, and the very hottest and driest period in summer. Ground-cover planting is an excellent way to reduce the amount of work you need to do – perfect if your garden is too big for the time or energy you have to spare. Rather WKDQ KDYLQJ D à RZHU EHG full of herbaceous plants or summer bedding, a groundcover bed, once planted,

Gardens on slopes or indeed windswept spots can suffer quite serious and irritating soil-slippage or erosion if left unplanted. But once planted up, the roots of your groundcover planting will help to secure the soil and the stems and foliage will help to protect the soil surface. Weeds just love open spaces, but cover spare bits of ground with ground-cover planting and the weeds will often be swamped out: literally starved of light and suffering such competition from your chosen planting that they cannot thrive. For best effect choose plants which are evergreen and so hold their leaves throughout WKH \HDU (YHUJUHHQV MXVW VKHG their leaves little and often, rather than their deciduous relatives which drop them

Some ground-cover plants are available as ‘bare root’ plants, OLIWHG IURP D Ă€HOG DQG UHDG\ IRU putting in to the ground whilst they are dormant, so now is a great time to get ordering and buying ready to plant during suitable weather over the next few months. Look at what is

all in one go in the autumn, which means you won’t suffer from the bare, twiggy effect that deciduous plants would give. If you choose a ground-cover plant such as Cotoneaster horizontalis you will be able to enjoy really attractive berries as well as the neat foliage. Ground-cover planting like this will often offer a useful source of shelter to local wildlife and food for berry eaters too. 6RPHWLPHV LW FDQ EH GLIÀFXOW to spot suitable ground-cover plants unless the nursery

or garden centre has a designated area for them, so, when searching out plants for ground cover, always read the information given about each plant thoroughly. Ideally you want those where the stated height is smaller than the stated spread – it is outwards not upwards you are after! Look for clues in the plants’ Latin names too – those with words suggesting spread out or horizontal are good indicators e.g. prostrata (prostrate), horizontalis (horizontal), repens (creeping).

“Alexa! I’m In The Car� A virtual reality presentation of being in a car crash left me feeling sickened recently. Picture this: you’re the front seat passenger in a hatch-back, whizzing down a lane. To your right the driver is laughing with the two back-seat passengers, who are passing him a phone. He shows the phone to you and looks at the screen. As we round a corner to see a tractor across the road, there’s a scream and it goes black. You come ‘around’ to the screaming of the injured driver. The legs of one of the back-seaters are across the dashboard, the rest of them is through the windscreen. You look down to see your virtual legs smashed against the glovebox. Outside, the emergency services are

tending to the injured as the roof is being cut off. It’s very realistic. I discussed the many in-car distractions that go towards creating conditions for a crash with the policeman running the demo. This chimed with a news piece that Amazon are aiming to put Alexa in-car. I note its hands-free operation, to request WUDIĂ€F LQIRUPDWLRQ HWF EXW , DP DOVR DZDUH RI WKH distraction chatting to ‘her’ will create: two friends of mine nearly rear-ended a car because they had been talking to Siri on a phone and weren’t paying attention to what was happening outside. I know it’s the responsibility of drivers and passengers as to how these devices are used in-car, but daily I see drivers still using phones,
