editor’s letter

Let’s get it started

H

ello… and a very warm welcome to the first issue of 72M magazine… your compact companion for getting ready for everything life has to throw your way! In the true spirit of seventy2minutes.com when it was suggested that I consider a magazine to compliment the blog my first thought was “Really?? How?” Between family, friends, a full time job, a part time degree and a burning desire to build my own business empire time is something of a premium, but the more and more I thought about it the more I became excited at the prospect! I studied Media in college but gave up on ever becoming a journalist as; even then, the focus was on

sensationalism and celebrity. That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate a good celeb story here and there but there is so much “look-how-quicklyshe-snapped-back-into-shape-afterher-9th-baby” a person can take! So if 72M isn’t all about celebrities, babies and diets what’s it about? Well just like our sister blog, seventy2minutes.com/blog, it’s about life, fashion, blogging, money, destiny, ambition, passion, art, music, families, love, friends, health and everything we (yes you too) do to keep it all finely balanced! This issue I get to interview Darren Darnborough (page 12), a multi-talented ex-pat in LA. Actor, director, producer, writer and

entrepreneur, Darren is an old friend that I think is awesome and a great example of living life to the full! Ex-radio presenter Andy Holmes lets us into his world and gets personal about depression (page 8) and how he lives a balanced life whilst chasing his ambitions and managing a media career in local government. I also invite you on a round the world trip we’re we visit places like Russia, Australia and India… all in the name of blogging, a worldwide phenomenon that could open the most unusual doors for you if you know where to look! Plus there’s fashion, beauty tips from Nita Thanki, health advice from Jay Darrell Ingleton and money saving tips… all conveniently packed into this, your small but perfectly formed guide to fashion, life and everything in between!

THE

ALEX EXPERIENCE

Alex, I have a friend who has been working in an office for about 2 years now. This friend has been stagnating in a festering pool of boredom and has been hoping things might become interesting at some point.

prone to plagiarism amongst other things.

Can you help my friend resolve this situation please?

Whenever anyone comes up with a good idea, he/she always declares,

on behalf of a friend

consider it most helpful when seeking to diagnose a person’s experience to begin at the beginning…

Your friend has identified a working environment that is bringing about decay through lack of stimulation; for the conclusion of ‘festering’ is an end, by way of a painful, possibly prolonged, ulceration to either a cure, or a significant alarm; before recovery can begin. When you feel something gnawing away inside of you, at your very guts, that is to say you have a ‘gut feeling’ about something, it is often difficult in the frenetic technological and economically driven culture of the western world to quiet any distractions and pay attention only to this. Which leads into the appearance of the new manager. Your friend describes how the manager has been ‘given’ This choice of adjective belies your friend’s thoughts beyond, perhaps, a new manager being ‘appointed’, ‘promoted’ to the position or ‘joining’ the organisation. In reality this manager may well be ‘shit’. No debate. Perhaps this person’s appointment to the position, is reflective (in a wider sense) of a team, department or even organisational culture, for if they are deemed worthy of elevation consider the system that would promote them. The miscreancy of this person, unjustifiable to your friend, indicates both the disparity of your friend’s values about that ‘way of things’, and the insecurities that can arise when an ego is flattered with greater powers. For the unworthy such powers bring with them fear. Fear of loss, fear of being discovered for that unworthiness, fear of being subsequently outshone by genuine merit or ability and fear from the shame

6

Big freakin’ surprise there then!!

This manager also seems to be very insecur e, to the point where he/she cannot face the realities of anyone getting a better job or even being able to do a better job than her/him.

Recently this friend has been given a new manager. This manager is, in my friends humble opinion, sh*t and

I

“oh what a coincid ence, I was just thinkin g the same thing”

seventy2minutes.com  Spring 2011

Frustrated...

of their underhand methods to suppress their colleagues as a result of the inability to credit them. A resolution to this situation is of your friends own choosing. Bearing in mind the promotion of this manager, presumably, by those of like mind, maybe even like methods, an attempt to shine a light on them may result in your friend experiencing greater amounts of the same treatment in a kind of downward spiral… A frank discussion with the manager would only prove successful if this person is open to learning, and is an accepting individual but the suggestion that they are sensitive to someone ‘doing a better job’ would indicate that to forewarn them of concerns is merely to forearm them against any perceived threat. Ultimately our path is our own. If at any time we find it blocked or too dark to see a way through, we owe it to ourselves, and to the guarantee of there being something better, to find a way through. If in doubt of how to do this the very best first step is to make a decision… any decision… create an opportunity to move to a place of experience that feels, for your friend, right and harmonious.

Boys don’t cry 1 in 4 adults in the UK and the US have reported mental health disorders. The large majority live a balanced and fulfilling life.

S

till it’s undeniable that mental health gets a bad press. One unfortunate incident and the media is ablaze with ‘crazed’, ‘unstable’, ‘lunatic’, words that seem a million miles away from ‘father’, ‘business woman’, ‘journalist’.

and low self-esteem and that this was just something I’d have to live with. I didn’t identify it as a genuine illness with my GP until I got back from the New York marathon in November 2009 In fact I remember the case of footballer Stan Collymore who, in the noughties, announced he was suffering from depression, to the derision of his manager and the vast majority of fans.

Aspiring author Andy Holmes suffers from depression but he hasn’t let this (or the negative press) stand between himself and his ambitions! AH: “Okay, so I’m a former journalist, so let’s start this in a language that I can understand. Our headlines today… **Local boy does good, achieves his ambitions by his mid-twenties in the world of broadcasting.**

“But Stan you’re earning loads of money, you’re playing sport professionally for your boyhood club, pull yourself together, you’ve nothing to be depressed about.”

**That same boy then goes to University, travels to New Zealand, runs the New York Marathon, makes a name for himself in the depths of Cornwall and then gets a well‑paid job in Buckinghamshire.** **And finally… This boy also suffers from depression.** Now I’ve put the depression as the ‘and finally’… a vain attempt to dismiss it as being something that doesn’t matter, but anyone reading this who has been visited by The Black Dog – be it a short one, or in my case many years, will know how difficult it can be to not let it dominate. When I was younger, I thought all I had was just a case of the blues

The facts 8

Depression is common, affecting about 121 million people worldwide

seventy2minutes.com  Spring 2011

At the time I agreed with their views, but years later I see Mr Collymore’s point all too clearly when he says the biggest misapprehension about depression is that it’s not an illness. I’ve done so much in my life that I’m proud of, but much of it has honestly been lost in a dark cloud of misery. When depression hits it doesn’t respect wealth, rank or social standing, and once it has you, it will probably never leave without you getting help. I saw that help as a sign of weakness for many years, I’m a man so what would you expect?!! I saw it as part of me and never considered medication. But when I did, after returning from New York having had enough of feeling awful, it dawned on me that if you break a leg, you don’t Depression is among the leading causes of disability worldwide

Depression can be reliably diagnosed and treated in primary care

hop around on it hoping it’ll heal itself. So, taking medication has been a way of putting a bandage on a wound that’s been gaping since my school days when I was bullied. And boy have those tiny white pills helped, although there’s still a long way to go. I’m more confident in myself, I feel able to breathe and enjoy life and actually smile on the inside. My aim, with the help of Buckinghamshire MIND, is to set up a group for professionals like myself between the ages of 25 and 35, who will be able to meet in the county and realise they’re not as alone as the illness makes them think. After going on medication I announced on Facebook that I had struggled with depression for many years. After the initial responses of “We’d never have known” came firstly the supportive emails, even from people I hadn’t spoken to for years, and then the comments of “Andy, I’ve been there, you have my support” and sometimes “That’s how I feel, I’m going to get help too”. I hope reading this will help you or others you know, it’s certainly helped me to write it. To keep up with Andy add him on Twitter as @ PaintedSmileAH or watch his video posts on YouTube as hufc2008. You can contact him about his work with Buckinghamshire MIND via paintedsmilebucks@gmail.com Fewer than 25% of those affected have access to effective treatments.

th r e s o ’ t l a r A gi guide thed r ap Achieve the perfect shape with y the eyebrow threading technique T

he most effective way to achieve a perfect shape is to have them done at the salon with the Eyebrow Threading Technique.

The ancient Middle Eastern & Asian Art of Eyebrow Threading is very popular as every small, short, fine hair is able to be removed thoroughly, giving you long lasting results for up to 3 weeks.

1

The twisting motion of a fine cotton thread over the hair lifts and removes the hair from the root, shaping the eyebrow precisely.

Determining the shape of your eyebrows

What shape does your eyebrow naturally follow? Is it round? Very arched? Softly arched? Or straight?

2

Your eyebrow should be adapted and balanced to the natural features of your face to get the best results.

Stretch the eyelid area

Whenever you pull hair out of your skin, it will hurt a little. Since the thread is laid down onto your skin in a straight line, it will pull several hairs out at a time. This creates the clean shape for your eyebrow.

seventy2minutes.com  Spring 2011

Stretching the eyelid area and holding it so that it is taught whilst having your treatment will make hair removal easier and more comfortable.

Creating the arch

The line underneath your eyebrow is the basis of the arch, and the most important in the shaping of your eyebrow.

This is where your eyebrow is to be adapted to best suit your face and where the arch can be created to give your face a natural lift.

She has worked in the beauty industry for over 13 years and is passionate about working with clients from Top-to-Toe to look and feel their best. Her well established client base includes:

Amy Winehouse, Rickie Haywood-Williams & Melvin Odoom of Kiss 100 Breakfast Show/MTV.”

Between the brows

Removing hair between your eyebrows is the last step. The general rule is to not to remove hair past the corners of your eyes.

5

tel: 020 8440 8893 www.heavensentbeauty.com If your eyebrows are too far apart, they can make your eyes appear smaller and make your nose appear wider.

For the best results

If you are new to Eyebrow Threading and would like to achieve the best results, I recommend you let your eyebrows grow out for 2 – 3 weeks before your first treatment so that there’s lots of hair growth to work with and shape.

If you have sparse eyebrows, why not try the “High Definition Eyebrow” Treatment where you can have your eyebrows tinted to darken the hairs through to the tip of the follicle, where it can often become translucent in colour. You would then have them shaped up with threading.

72m tip Forcing a different shape onto your face will look disharmonious to the rest of your facial features. Some like to have their eyebrows very thin and defined. Whilst it suits some, on others it can make the face look mean, and hard, and sometimes old. Thick-shaped eyebrows are very popular, however if kept too heavy, can give the appearance of an angry dull face, as well as causing your eyebrows to dominate all the other features of the face.

with: Darren Darnborough

ou may not know him yet, but you will.

15C, and yes the sky is grey but I see palm trees and a swimming pool.

Darren started his professional career treading the boards at prestigious venues like the Riverside Studios and Westminster theatre. After short appearances in The Bill, Eastenders, Pie in the Sky and Holby City he made the life changing decision to pack up and head States side, LA to be precise. Good move.

Me jealous? Nooooooo! Well, not much.

With an open heart and a head full of creative ideas Darren has managed to secure roles in award winning productions, co-produce, write and direct his own short films, host at the Cannes Film Festival and all whilst building an international business.

DD: Thank you.

Phew! This man certainly isn’t work shy and switches from glamming it with the glitterati to strategizing about his next business move with style and infectious charisma... perfect 72m material. Let me set the scene. London (sort of). LA (Definitely). Skype Take one excitable fashionista (that’s me), add a dash of Double-D and watch the fireworks. But, first things first; tea. We exchange light conversation as Darren makes a cup. Whilst the kettle boils he gives me a tour of the res… you can take the man out of Britain…

DD: You’re welcome 72m: I’m very excited because I know you’ve just landed a role in True Blood! Yay you!

72m: Season 4, Episode 2, You Smell Like Dinner.

DD: Yes. I am the dinner… so I guess I’m the ‘you’ as well! 72m: How was the experience? DD: You know… it was great! It’s great to work on a show that people know! When you say ‘I’m working on True Blood’ people aren’t like ‘huh?’… they know the show, they know what you’re talking about and the best thing is … and I know it sounds cheesy… but the best thing is the cast and the crew work together and the atmosphere… it’s like a family. It’s amazing, the people, the quality of the filming, the set everything 72m: And working with Stephen Moyer… who’s also a brit!

DD: Yes he is!

Essex lad

DD: Yes! From Brentwood! All my scenes are with Stephen. He’s excellent. Everyone working on True Blood is…. You know… I’m working with writers who’ve written episodes of Friends and Alan [Ball] who’s created things like Six Feet Under and American Beauty. The calibre is unbelievable and it’s great to have that level of talent around you. 72m: On the subject of Brits in LA tell me about some of the work you’ve been involved in promoting British talent (yourself included) in LA

DD: I co-founded Brits in LA a few years back. Me and 2 friends started by just getting a few people together for fun and it grew from there really! LA is not a daunting place but there are a lot of differences and sometimes it’s nice to have someone (or somewhere) to go to where you can ask questions, sit, relax, swap ideas… It started as a few evening events which turned into a Facebook group, then a breakfast club every Tuesday and Thursday. It’s great. 72m:

It sounds pretty awesome

DD: Yes! Everyone is welcome and we all get together and discuss things like where we got drunk the night before and where we’re getting drunk tonight… because you know… that’s just Hollywood isn’t it! [Cue infectious laughter] It all takes place at Cecconi’s and its mind blowing photograph by Shane Liem

seventy2minutes with:  Darren Darnborough

72m: You’ve been very active in helping Brits out!

DD: It’s great. I’m on the committee for BritWeek now too. I know this. I’ve done my research 72m:

DD: Yes. Nigel Lythgoe recognised the cross investment between California and Britain. Basically California is the biggest investor for British talent and Britain invests the most in California. I was asked to be on the committee and I’m now involved in various events that take place over a series of two weeks. We have a lot of famous faces showing their support like Richard Branson and Victoria Beckham. This year it’s actually clashing with the Royal Wedding! 72m: Are you thinking Will and Kate planned this on purpose?

DD: [Laughs] I’m sure they did. I’m sure they thought of us. 72m: So… Actor, host, producer, author, director, entrepreneur… Where do you find the time?

DD: You know… I don’t. I don’t find the time I just enjoy what I do. My entire waking day is stuff I enjoy. I sometimes wonder how people find time to work! I’m always rushing around running errands but it just doesn’t feel like work. Things just happen and either you have to do it all or it all blends together… you know… like I’ve got a TV series I’m working on that I co-funded so I’m coproducer, I also have a role in it and I’m writing parts of it too… it’s like suddenly you do one thing and then it evolves into all things!

Look at Vince Vaughn and Matt Damon. Imagine somebody saying to them “Why bother with writing? You’re an actor!” In LA people understand that you can be multi‑talented as long as you follow through

“When you say ‘I’m working on True Blood’ people aren’t like ‘huh?’… they know the show, they know what you’re talking about”

72m: Your company… StuckForStaff. com. Born in ClactonOn-Sea in 2002 and it’s going Global!

DD: Who told you that?! 72m: Well… you’re in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and now South Africa! So… are you the next Richard Branson?

DD: I would love to be! There’s a difference between he and I… apart from lots of things like huge amounts of money and charisma… he’s solely focused on business and I have this horrible entertainment industry bug! I’ll continue to be entrepreneurial on one side but I’ll always have this other side to me but yes… I would love to be the next Richard Branson… maybe later on in my life I will be! 72m: I can see the resemblance. Maybe you can play him in a film role in the future?

DD: They are making a film about him! I would love to play him in a film role. I’ve met him as well. I was on the committee for one of his charity events “Rock the Kasbah”. I’ve met big actors and not been phased but with Richard Branson I was just starstruck and like “Oh man! It’s Branson!” I knew I’d meet him one day but the first time we met he tapped me on the shoulder and thanked me for my help with organising his event and told me it was one of the best he’d ever been to! I was like “Oh my God! Richard Branson! Thanking me?” and then the year after I had lunch with him and it was just amazing! He’s such a genius.

seventy2minutes with:  Darren Darnborough 72m: 2011. What’s in the pipeline? How can we keep up with the Darren Darnborough buzz?

Timothy wrote, directed and produced a film called Powder Blue a couple of years ago with Forrest Whittaker, Jessica Biel and Ray Liota in it so I’m really excited to be working with him… he’s a little hero of mine… he’s done some really good work… that’s about it for now [laughs]… but ask me in two weeks and they’re be about 15 more things added to that list!

DD: I’ve had a really good 2011 so far. True blood is out in June. I’ve got a commercial running in the UK right now for XBox… but you won’t see me you’ll only hear me. I’m an avatar!

I’ve also decide that I’m marrying Natalie Portman [laughs] and on the day of our wedding Mila Kunis will be the one at the back who jumps up and shouts “stop, I want to marry him” [laughs]

I’ve just shot 3 different campaigns for Jeep. I’m in the world wide commercial. 1 for the US and Canada and I did the print and billboard campaign. I’ve also shot the international version.

72m: Awesome! OK. 72M is all about being crazy busy but still squeezing in that extra little bit of time to “get ready…”

I’ve been auditioning for a few pilots as well… one from the writers of Will and Grace and one from JJ Abrams 72m: What’s

Your Nivea for men post Grammy’s party look certainly “gives a damn”. You’re looking great! So tell us… switching from business man to red carpet star then back to business man again… what’s your secret?

this? Tell us more!

DD: I can tell you the names of them. The first one is called “I hate that I love you”, and the JJ Abrams one is “Poe”. I went up for the role of Edgar Allen Poe… a paranormal investigator. I’m also hoping to do my directorial debut short film with a film called Stefano Formaggio. The website for that is www.stefanoformaggio.com. It’s a bit of a fairy-tale romance with a dark twist at the end. I’ve got a girl called Alice Greczyn, a very beautiful actress from America, playing the lead role Jasmine so I’m hoping to shoot that and tour the film festivals with it. I still have my TV show in development which is called ‘Andy and Chaz bugger off to America” 72m: You’re

DD: I’m hardly a red carpet star [laughs] I don’t know… I was going to say “it’s always business” but it’s always pleasure! Especially in LA. Business gets done when you’re having fun! I asked Richard [Branson] when I met him for lunch “in terms of my businesses… I said… you have these businesses; you can’t be working hard on all of them all of the time! When is the right time to put something down and move on to the next thing?” He just said when it stops being fun.

doing a Franco aren’t you?

DD: Do you know what? He’s a hero. I would love to do a Franco. He’s about to start his PHD whilst winning Oscars and hosting the Oscars! I’m nowhere near that yet! But I’m also writing a feature film with a guy called Timothy Linh Bui. We’re about ¾ of the way through. 14

seventy2minutes.com  Spring 2011

So I don’t really switch off and everything blends but I love what I do! 72m: Finally. The best 72 Minutes of your life has been or will be?… fill in the blanks for us…

DD: Oh! What a great question! Wow. I’ve had loads! I’ll give you the two stand out moments.

When I was 16 I was in the London Hippodrome and I met this girl from Hawaii. We ended up having a little canoodle… so if you add those 20 minutes and attach them to the 52 minutes of the final descent when I was landing in Hawaii, at 16, because I’d flown all the way to visit a girl I’d met for 20 minutes in a nightclub [Laughs] That was probably the best. I’d never been to America, I didn’t really know this girl but I just got on this plane [being a hopeless romantic] and went. That has defined my life until this point because if I hadn’t taken the risk and if I hadn’t seen what else was out there… The second is purely gratuitous. My 30th birthday. In 72 Minutes I was being sung happy birthday by my good friends louder than the next table were singing happy birthday to Naomi Campbell. We were in the Dolce and Gabbana party at the Cannes film festival, drinking magnums of Dom Perignon champagne, being spanked 30 times by Dita Von Teese whilst Bruce Weber from French Vogue took pictures! Pretty phenomenal night!

I’ve met big actors and not been phased but with Richard Branson I was just starstruck

MESSAGE ++ Blogs around the world ++ STOP

B

logs are old news. They’ve been around a bit now and it looks like they’re here to stay.

From early versions that were thought of as personal diaries to the emerging Corporate blog where big Chiefs can pow wow with their people anyone, who is anyone, can ramble on until their heart’s content.

Whatever perception you have of blogs, set them aside. Start with a clean slate. This is how I approached this article. I’ve combined my love of fashion, photography and words and have stumbled through many blogs from around the world; blogging is a global trend after all!

Do not be alarmed. If, like me, you have a genuine passion for people then blogging is the way forward. In a few short clicks you could be in the mind and the heart of a perfect stranger, confident, or crazy, enough to let you into their inner sanctum. Confident, because in a world saturated with pseudo-celebrities it takes some courage to step forward and declare your own voice, maybe a little crazy because in doing so some may mistakenly think that a blogger is just a wannabe celeb and automatically take the offensive view. As they say in the rap world ‘Ignore the haters’.

Photographs so exceptional they’ll take your breath away

What I expected: Pretty photographs of fashionphiles in enigmatic poses Enthusiastic rants about favourite designers Diarist style confessions about things lusted for but economically beyond reach Businesses that invest in blogging as a means of communicating with their customers

What I didn’t expect: Blogging communities that share best practice Technically savvy websites that wow

Insights so personal you’ll feel as if you’ve intercepted a love letter Businesses that invest in other people’s blogs as a means of getting straight to the heart of their core customers

What I got: All of the above and then some! From blogs about sustainable fashion to blogs about observing street style, Australia to Vietnam, through Jamaica and back to Manchester again there is virtually a fashion blog for everyone, everywhere. And don’t be fooled by the seeming casualness of it all. Blogging is big business. Big brands know that there are some corners of the world that are beyond their reach. Even with all the technology and marketing prowess at hand some businesses have begun to realise that their many communications are lost in translation.   Spring 2011  seventy2minutes.com

fitness for life O

ften I’m asked how I make fitness a regular part of my life and stick with it?

Getting the basics right Jay Darrell is a celebrity fitness trainer, a martial artist and an athlete with over 12 years’ experience in the fitness industry teaching a variety of classes at all the major commercial health club chains as well as blue chip corporate fitness gyms. Jay Darrell has been nicknamed ‘the awesome kicking machine’ by Chuck Norris! Contact Jay: jaydarrell@talk21.com www.jaydarrellingleton.com www.facebook.com/jaydarrellingleton

seventy2minutes.com  Spring 2011

Firstly, I suggest before committing yourself, you write down all the benefits that being fitter will bring you, this will focus your mind when you don’t feel motivated.

Some of these benefits could be things like: • having more energy • better sleeping habits • stress release • looking and feeling better • personal time (where you forget the outside world) Now, the best way to work out for general fitness is to mix it up.


1

You need elements of cardio like jogging, power walking, skipping or cycling.

Not everyone likes cardio work outs but it’s a must if you want to burn fat so chose something you can stick to and focus on the benefits your body will reap! Say to yourself, I don’t like jogging but it’s great for calorie burning I’ll do what I can and then move on to something else!

2

Double whammy your metabolism and burn those calories by adding in body weight and resistance exercises before (or after) your cardio workout. Try a mixture of going to the gym, or local exercise classes where you don’t have to be a member. Rope a friend in for some of your workouts but avoid becoming dependent on them! Rely on yourself so there are no excuses for not working out if they no longer feel like going.

health, wealth & wisdom

3

Workout videos can be great if you’re busy and want to avoid the gym but try to do some cardio outside as well. The fresh air is great for you and you should try and balance this out with the time spent inside

4

Diet wise, try not to eat more than you’re burning off during your workouts but don’t make it a chore or you won’t maintain it for long! If you have a good weeks training then treat yourself a little (and I mean a little). Try not to eat too late as this is the real weight gainer and eat as much fresh fruit and veg as possible.

5

We all have our good days and bad days working out. What is important is you stay committed and gradually it becomes second nature, like brushing your teeth or getting dressed in the morning!

Mon£y Matter$ The only comfort to simply cannot afford

T

he only comfort in debt is that you are not alone. The world owes a staggering $58 trillion and rising. Now we’re not saying 72M Money Matters will resolve the world debt crisis but a little bit of common sense goes a long way. Christmas is a time for giving but if you’re not careful you could be paying for it all year round and, in some cases, for many Christmases to come.

Despite moans and groans about the commercialisation of a festival that is meant to be about spending time with your nearest and dearest the pressure of keeping up appearances drives thousands to spend millions on presents they simply cannot afford. This year why not plan for Christmas early? The shops will be chiming ‘jingle bells’ by August so instead of grinding your teeth and sweating about the astronomical cost of the latest ‘it’ gadgets get your money in order and start planning now! We’ve pulled together 5 little clever tricks and tips to help you on your way…

Points mean prizes! Many supermarkets and stores offer some kind of reward scheme. You shop and they give you points. You store up those points and spend them on what you like! If you’re particularly loyal to any one brand don’t be shy about picking up a loyalty card, it doesn’t mean you’re wedded to them it just means you can earn some cashback on what you spend! Here at 72M we’ve calculated that using our Nectar card, if all relevant

24

seventy2minutes.com  Spring 2011

purchases for 2010 were made through their portal we could have racked up a potential 40,000 (This includes switching energy providers, taking out car insurance, changing and general shopping). By Christmas this would have given us an extra £200 to spend on anything from Amazon to Vue cinema tickets! Result! MON£Y MATTER$ RATING  4/5

Save, Stamp, Spend The supermarkets are at it again vying desperately for your custom and don’t you be shy! Savings stamps are a way of saving towards big purchases, like Christmas, and most supermarkets will give you a pre-Christmas top-up depending on how much you’ve saved. The cons are that you can only spend them with the issuing retailer and most retailers do not monitor your savings for you so if you lose your stamps you lose out! MON£Y MATTER$ RATING  3/5

Switch it up Loyalty is a thing of the past and the surge of comparison sites are proof in point. Staying with the same service provider rarely serves you well as the best deals are often given to new customers! Every year give yourself an annual health check and make sure that you’re getting the best from your providers. If you’re not ask why not and don’t put up with feeble excuses. If they’re not prepared to treat you as nicely as they do their new customers, leave. Shop around, find where the best deals are for you and see if these deals still apply if you switch using a reward system like Nectar. If it does you’ll not only save money on your bills, you’ll earn money for your efforts too!

Cons: Not all the best deals are online. Sometimes you’ve got to make a phone call or two, but if it saves you £400 a year on gas and electricity bills, it’s definitely worth it MON£Y MATTER$ RATING  5/5

Buy now, save later It seems odd buying for next Christmas straight after Christmas is over but ignore the sentimentalists and think money! Boxing day through to January 31st businesses are happily shedding their old stock in preparation for the new and items that are thought of as redundant (think wrapping paper, christmas crackers, themed gifts) are deeply discounted. Items that don’t have a ‘use by’ date are ideal as you can stock them away until they’re needed. Con: You have to free yourself from the thinking that past season products are poor substitutes. If you ignore the pressure to have the ‘latest and greatest’ you could save hundreds in gifts by buying whilst the price is right! What are you waiting for? An invitation? MON£Y MATTER$ RATING  3/5

Sell it now! Ebay, Amazon and now even ASOS has there own online market place. Just because you don’t like that irridescent, skin tight jumpsuit your ex bought for Christmas it doesn’t mean that someone else won’t! Before you throw it away put it up for sale! Cons; Auction sites charge listing and sales fees meaning that if you’re not careful you could end up with very little indeed! Check what other people are selling your item for and then check if it’s worth your time or best left in the charity bin! MON£Y MATTER$ RATING  4/5

WorldWiseWoman 1210 billionaires in the world and counting…

With a combined wealth of over 4.4 trillion dollars; more than enough to fill your closet with Choo’s! More interesting that this are the 59 (at present) pledgers who have vowed to give away over 50% of their wealth, during their lifetime or after their death, to help philanthropic causes! Two thumbs up from us!

1000 women die each day through childbirth related causes

Having a baby isn’t easy but it shouldn’t be this hard. Women in developing countries are more likely to die from childbirth related complications mainly; severe bleeding after childbirth, infections, hypertensive disorders, and unsafe abortions

900,000 million items of clothing are thrown away each year in the UK alone

Now we know that future trend setters baulk at the idea of not having the ‘in’ thing but once it’s out if you can afford to throw it away just give it away instead!! There are plenty of charities that could use your past season cast offs and some will even reconstruct and redesign one off peices for the damaged items that can’t be sold!

There are 23 countries in the World where the ratio of men to women is exactly 50:50

We didn’t research why there are more men in the United Arab Emirates than there are women (an intriguing 100 men to every 46 women!) but over in Estonia, Latvia and Russia they could happily welcome the surplus!

28.7% of the worlds population use the internet… that’s 1,966,514,816 people…

We’re thinking; if you run a business and don’t have an online presence what are you thinking? Between 2000 and 2010 this is upwards of a 400% increase… imagine the possibilities!

Queen Elizabeth II (aka The Queen) owns 1/6th of the Earths surface…

As the legal owner of all this land (including Canada and Australia) she has 6,600 million acres of land worth a whopping £17.6 trillion ($33 trillion). Wowser… imagine trying to get planning permission for all that!

YOU-ology What’s your number? Numerology uses the numerical equation of your name and date of birth to determine the selection of numbers that reflect who you are, what you are destined to achieve and the obstacles that may present themselves to you over the course of your life.

To calculate your life path number simply add the digits of your birthday. For example if you were born on 01/12/1983 your Life Path number would equate to a 7! 1+1+2+1+9+8+3= 25 2+5= 7
