Now, more than ever, being able to present your business online is a necessity. But that means the marketplace is getting pretty crowded out there. So, how do you stand out from the crowd and get noticed? The answer is, you need to be more you! I’m not a fan of this word ‘authentic’. It’s lost its meaning in recent years. But think of it as being honest, open and genuine, and it’s easier to figure out what you need to do! Here are 6 ways to be authentic when sharing your business and brand online.

A GOOD READ Patsy

by Nicole Dennis-Benn

Patsy grew up in an impoverished town in Jamaica and struggles to make ends meet, raising her 5-year-old daughter, Tru. But she has a dream. A dream that lies across the ocean in a city that never sleeps, watched over by Lady Liberty. She isn’t the only one. Many have left Jamaica for America, sending home details of their new lives. But you can’t just leave Jamaica and head to the US. When Patsy is finally granted a visa, it is only a visitor one. And just for her, not Tru. And so, leaving her daughter behind with her previously absent father, she begins her life as an undocumented migrant. It soon becomes clear that life in New York is not what she thought it would be.

Dennis-Benn has created an engrossing novel showing the reality of the plight of migrants.

Spanning a decade, it switches between Patsy and her new life and Tru’s childhood as she grows up without her mother. It says something about her skills as a writer that she has created a central character that is so flawed and yet likeable at the same time.

The dialogue switches effortlessly between English and Jamaican Patois, leaving you, the reader, as an inhabitant of the two worlds that Patsy herself occupies. Will she ever be reunited with her daughter and how does a decision taken so long ago affect the two of them as life moves on around them in two vastly different countries?

The Boy at the Back of the Class In a similar vein we have a story for children about what it is like to be a stranger in a strange land. The difference here is that Ahmet is not an economic migrant, but a refugee, fleeing civil war in Syria.

He arrives one day at the start of term and sits in a chair at the back of the class and carries a tattered old red backpack. He is quiet and spends break and lunchtime in Seclusion. The 9 and ¾ year old narrator and their friends don’t know why he stays apart and are determined to find out why.

When they finally learn of Ahmet’s story, they are determined to help him and seek the help of the one person in the country that they know can help: The Queen.

A moving story this directly challenges attitudes towards refugees

by Onjali Q Rauf

and the children encounter adults who are sympathetic towards his plight, but also those who are not.

Simple events show the kindness of strangers (the gift of a pomegranate) and gives hope that this next generation can be the one to bring in a change of attitude and a realisation that we are all one humanity. All too often we are quick to judge – and Rauf uses a very clever technique to bring this to the fore, leaving the reader re-evaluating everything they have read with just a few pages to go – rather than accepting. Ahmet’s story is sadly not just a story created in an author’s imagination but is one that too many children are experiencing – tattered backpack and all.

Stay Healthy & Beautiful This Season

8 STEPS TO PREVENT DRY WINTER SKIN IT’S COMMON FOR MOST PEOPLE TO HAVE DRY SKIN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PREVENT DRY, FLAKING, ITCHY AND/OR CRACKING SKIN? YES, YOU CAN! 1 COOL IT DOWN When the weather outside is frightful, it’s very tempting to take long hot showers or baths, because it feels good on your skin to soak in soothing water that makes us feel warm. However, exposing your body to hot water for too long can be extremely drying to the skin. Keeping your baths and showers short (no more than 15 minutes) and using warm water instead of hot water will ensure that your skin will retain its own moisture.

2 DELICATE ARE WE? The skin around your eyes as well as other areas of the face is thin and requires gentle cleansing and regular, quality moisturizing to keep skin soft and supple. Applying a good eye serum and facial cream often during the winter will keep dry skin (and wrinkles) at bay.

3 ITHCY, FLAKIE NO NO'S As for itchy and irritated skin, switching to a mild cleanser also can help reduce or eliminate the itchiness associated with very dry skin. After your bath or shower, be sure to gently pat your skin dry with a clean soft towel and apply an ointment, body oil or moisturizing body lotion immediately afterwards. Take special care not to rub your skin dry with a towel as this can irritate it and exacerbate itching and flakiness.

4 INGREDIENTS MATTER Always

check the ingredients in skin care products because deodorant soaps and cleansers, alcohol-based toners and

products that contain fragrances can irritate dry, sensitive skin. Make sure your products are from a manufacturer you trust.

5 CRACKING REPAIRS Most people tend to wash their hands more often in the winter time to get rid of potentially harmful germs and bacteria, covid has amplified this. Counter this by applying a moisturizing hand cream afterwards. If your hands are extremely dry and require more attention, dabbing thicker cream on them and covering that with gloves at bed time is a good way to repair dry, cracking skin overnight.

6 HUMIDITY ANYONE Using a humidifier to add moisture to the air in your home is another important step to preventing dry, itchy skin.

7 THE FABRIC OF OUR LIVES You also can wear soft fabrics that breathe, such as 100% cotton. If you wear wool or other rough fabrics, you should wear a soft fabric underneath.

8 HYDRATION Hydration is key! Nourishing your body with 8 to 10 glasses of water per day is a must to keep you healthy, vibrant, clear minded, and with clear and hydrated skin. Mineral water is one of the best sources to provide peak nourishment.

For more information on how you can have soft, supple skin during the winter and year-round, reserve a consultation with Tammy and let her help YOUR skin look and feel its very best! Call 604-259-2193 or email elegancemdskincare@gmail.com today!

“What’s On! Mission has allowed me to raise my family while doing a job that I love. The flexibility of this business has allowed me to fit in time for family and work, while keeping me engaged in my community.

What’s On! has built a structure that makes it easy to learn how to run a business and still allows me to be creative. Nothing brings me greater joy than walking into a coffee shop and seeing people reading my magazine“
