AlumierMD peels use only pure acids.

The antioxidants, anti-ageing and brightening booster ingredients are applied post-peel in our Brightening Accelerator so all components remain effective. Peels remove the outer dead layers of the stratum corneum, so the booster ingredients are better absorbed when applied post-peel.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE A SPARE ROOM? WHAT IS QUALITY? OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE SUBLET ROOMS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IN MY SALONS, SPAS AND HEALTH CLUBS. WHEN IT WORKS IT CAN BE VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR ALL PARTIES, BUT WHEN IT DIDN’T WORK OUT, IT WAS DISASTROUS...

My first piece of advice is to tread carefully. A room sitting idle in your salon doesn’t make any improvements to your bottom line! So here is what I suggest to successfully rent space in your Beauty Salon.

•

Check your lease and double check with your landlord that you are permitted to sublet.

•

Do some research, for example – Have your clients expressed an interest in treatments you are not currently providing?

•

What treatments are your local competitors doing well with? Are there any gaps in services in your locality?

•

What are the latest trends? Is it more cost effective for you to sublet space than tointroduce new services yourself?

Which is more beneficial to you and your salon – to sublet the space for a rent or to do a percentage split on revenue?

Personally, I prefer to rent space, as I like to promote and market my business, rather than somebody else’s. If I am working on a revenue split, then the responsibility to get the clients falls on me.

MAKE PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS LIKE ARRANGEMENTS Draw up a written contract outlining your terms and conditions, making this document as specific as possible.

Be very clear about what you are providing and how much you are prepared to assist your new tenant. For example, are you including reception cover, marketing/advertising or access to your database in your rental fee?

September Issue No.17 2019

Insurance is very important, you will be providing public liability, but you must get copies of professional indemnity insurance from the tenant, as you cannot be responsible for their work.

Is the room available for rent per hour/day/ week? What is the minimum availability?

Charge a deposit, which you can return when the person decides to leave. Your landlord charges you rent whether you are there or not, so you must do the same. For example, if you are renting a room to a massage therapist every Thursday, she pays whether she uses the room or not, as you are holding it for her.

Rent must be paid in advance, preferably by standing order.

Get references about anybody you are planning on allowing to work in your salon. You have worked long and hard to establish your business. The idea is to add to your business in every way, not to have any disruption.

Ask your Solicitor to double-check your contract, to ensure you haven’t omitted anything important.

Find tenants who have a clientele to bring with them, that way their clients become yours and vice versa. I suggest getting one tenant in one day per week, and over the months find a second, third and so on. If your beauty salon is open five days per week, aim to get five new tenants providing a range of services new to your salon, thereby expanding your business, without any cost or investment on your part.

Successfully subletting a room can seriously generate more revenue for you, both in the rental income and in new clients coming through your door. It’s definitely worth a try!

MEET KIM DU-PONT THE SUCCESS FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Having completed my high school I ventured to South Africa and that is where the love of beauty started. I completed my first qualification at Camelot International in Johannesburg but always felt I needed more. I branched out into the makeup industry, events and pretty much explored every talent and skill I had while studying South African Sign Language as the charities I was involved with many children were deaf and I wanted to be able to communicate efficiently. I then brought my focus onto massage where I specialized and this is when I obtained my Diploma in Traditional Thai Massage.

My career began in 2011 right through until now. I was honoured to have worked in one of the most prestigious hotels The Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa in Sandhurst, Johannesburg. This particular hotel is known for its culturally rich history and five star service.

The Saxon Hotel was once the home to Nelson Mandela after he was released from prison. In 1990 Nelson Mandela resided in the Saxon for six months while he wrote his autobiography “Long walk to freedom”. The room in which Nelson Mandela occupied during this period has now been called Mandela Suite. In the 1980s before becoming The Saxon Hotel, it was the home of a top South African businessman Douw Steyn who later turned his home into what it is today. The Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa offered the most luxurious treatments and highly skilled staff. I had the experience of meeting and performing treatments on World leaders and celebrities both local and abroad. From Royalty to well known Artists and many more.

After working in such a prestigious setting I furthered my career and skill set and focused more on the aesthetics side of beauty. I was the manager of a Laser Clinic where we worked alongside a doctor who performed only the best treatments for all our customers. Not long after my new position I felt the need to further my education and Ireland was surely the first on the map. Offering a some what different culture and education I began a new journey in September 2018.

September Issue No.17 2019

I am currently studying towards an Honours Degree in Business. During the course of my studies I searched for employment and it wasn’t long that I contacted BeautifulJobs and they have posted me in an amazing salon ‘Skinfull Affairs’. A purely organic and vegan friendly setting has only the best to offer.

I truly thank BeautifulJobs for their assistance and expertise in the field to find perfect placement for their candidates. As a Beauty Therapist there is always so much more to learn and with staying in the beauty industry but working in different settings it has definitely created an eye opener and need for this market. It has definitely been a long yet eventful journey and I have experienced so much in my career and cannot wait to add more memories to the following years.

“

I’m a young woman from a small country with a big dream who is destined to touch the hearts and lives of others.

“

Born from a family of successful individuals I began my journey to turn out no different. I was born in The Kingdom of Eswatini which is ruled by King Mswati III son of my great grandfather King Sobhuza II. Swaziland is one of the last remaining absolute monarchies in Africa. Coming from a family of 5 I am of mixed race, Chinese, Portuguese, French and Swazi.

Gillian Moore The Face of Fuschia

September Issue No.17 2019

BEAUTIFULJOBS WHAT SPARKED YOUR INITIAL INTEREST WITH BEAUTY? Truthfully, I don’t really remember a time I wasn’t obsessed with beauty. From a young age, I always remember sparking so much fun out of playing with my Mam’s make-up. Now as a mother of three children, I appreciate, more than ever, the time I spend putting on my make-up. It’s 10/15 minutes of ME time! My parents were entrepreneurs, so I knew really from 5th and 6th year in secondary school that the ideal job would be to combine my two passions: Business and Beauty.

IS THERE ANYTHING UP AND COMING THAT CLIENTS OF FUSCHIA MAKEUP SHOULD GET EXCITED ABOUT? Yes, we have just launched a fabulous Face Palette with the much loved Irish Influencer, Michelle Fox. This product launched on August 29th and we are almost completely sold out! We are just so delighted as this is our first collaboration and it’s been such a great success. You’re going to be seeing much more of Fuschia in 2020 with further collaborations in the pipeline as well as concessions opening up nationwide (and some further afield too)…

TELL US ABOUT FUSCHIA. HOW DID YOU GO FROM IDEA ON PAPER TO A MULTI AWARD WINNING COMPANY? I had worked in The Body Shop while studying business in college. It gave me a good insight into people’s buying habits. What struck me was the extent to which people were very mindful of what they were putting on their skin. I had at this point, seen first-hand the transformative powers of makeup. I live and grew up in Drogheda and noticed a real gap in the market for a fresh and innovative make-up company. Once I had sourced the best suppliers of make-up, Fuschia was born. The company will be 15 next year, there have been highs, lows and countless sleepless nights, but when you really love what you do, you can handle anything!

WHO INSPIRES YOU? On a business level, Jo Malone; Dyslexic, struggled at school, and yet built one of the most recognised beauty brands in the world and then sold it for phone numbers! Hero. Anita Roddick; founder of The Body Shop and a visionary in her time. I’ve also attended a few of Tony Robbins’ business seminars. I got so much from them: increased positivity, focus and personal strength!

WHAT IS THE DAILY ROUTINE OF A BUSY CEO LIKE YOURSELF? Unsurprisingly, no one day is the same, but it invariably begins with dropping the kids off at school, before heading to our nearby offices in Dunleer, County Louth. I’ve an unbelievable team working in the office as well as in our store in Drogheda and our many concessions around the country. I try to catch up with as many staff as I can throughout the day. As the saying goes, ‘The bigger the dream, the more important the team’. This industry is very fastpaced, so we’re constantly working on new projects and product development. There’s never a day we’re not strategizing. We have recently closed out on an investment deal and we now embark on our next adventure with Fuschia – the best is yet to come!

YOU PERSONALLY, WHAT IS THE MAIN BEAUTY PRODUCT YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT? Fuschia’s mineral make-up foundation! There’s a reason it’s our bestselling product: amazing coverage that’s long-lasting and kind to the skin! I know I am biased, but it really is amazing! In terms of skin, recently I’ve started using Jennifer Rock’s Skingredients. Wow! I can’t get over the difference it has made to my skin. Believe the hype! I love a spray tan using Cocktail, but if I have to do it myself, I use Bare By Vogue.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME? Play tennis (with varying levels of success!) and hang out with my wonderful husband Aidan and our three amazing kids Ben, 10, Isabella 7, and Ruby 3 (we’ve become campervan obsessives and on free weekends like to head off and explore our beautiful country) AND FINALLY WHAT DO YOU FEEL THE FUTURE OF MAKEUP HAS IN STORE FOR US? Unfortunately, there are still some dangerous chemicals being used in the production of makeup, therefore I’d imagine there will be more consumers seeking out organic or natural makeup. Also, I think in this digital age, beauty and technology will become even more connected. We’ve already seen a lot of beauty brands offering personalised makeup, skincare and haircare. As part of our on-going expansion we will be integrating more technology to help our customers in the quest to find their perfect make-up.

I hope that look of cloned women is passing. I have been working in beauty industry for over 15 years and after seeing so many negative results from fillers, botox...you name it...I decided to introduce something completely different in Ireland.

Beggining with this technique I experimented with buccal massage first.This is internal and external massage of the lower muscles of the face. This technique has ability to sculpt/reshape the contour of the face and eliminates spasms and blockages.

The results blew me and my clients away so I didn’t want to stop there.

In February I had a privilege to meet and get one to one training with Aneta Hregorowicz-Gorlo Facemodeling founder.

Facemodeling is a new scalpel-free way to stay younger. This treatment keeps muscles strong and toned.

This technique includes:

September Issue No.17 2019

• Neck and shoulder examination with body cupping massage and kinetic therapy • osteopathic massage technique • Remember we have so many ‘buttons’ activating your whole body on your face so staring with this technique you experience antistress effect immediately • Buccal massage ( inside your mouth) • Face cupping to promote glowing skin • Works wonders with sinus congestion and flushing out toxins • Aesthetic taping on the face. Not everyone wants to leave the salon with the tapes on specially in D4 but I can always prepare them for clients to wear it that night at home.

There is no technology that can replace the power of hands so I always tailor my treatment with my signature Agnes’s massage. I believe homework is very important as a wife of chef/ nutritionist I give a lot of healthy tips to my clients. I’m also huge face yoga and gua sha fan so everyone learn new exercise movements routine to take home between treatments.

There is now a significant body of evidence to show the positive and negative impact food plays in your child’s development.

Childhood obesity rates are at an all term high as well as type II diabetes. There has also been an increase in learning disorders, with an increasing number of drugs been used to modify behaviour.

So what can we do to support our childrens development and ensure they flourish the best they can at school?

TOP BRAIN PROTEINS Neurotransmitters are primarily made from proteins, which shows the importance of getting good quality protein into your child’s diet daily. Protein is made from amino acids and in the brain, there are neurotransmitters with specific functions. Certain protein foods need to be included in the diet in order to manufacture each of these. Protein requirements vary with the age of your child. Having a wide variety in their diets will ensure that all amino acids will be provided.

CHEMICALS Look out for additives in foods such as tartraine (E102) which is used to colour foods and drinks, this has been linked to hyperactivity. It also seems to be linked to asthma and eczema in children. The advice is to stick to whole natural produce.

INTRODUCING HEALTHIER OPTIONS I love using a variety of foods for my daughter, she likes to have loads of colours and textures on her plate. I use the bento box technique and it’s a great way to introduce fun and variety at meal times and it’s a great tool for school lunches. instigating Healthy eating at any age is a positive of course but offering it at childhood can have a lifelong term of benefits. Training your child from a weaning age is the best option, for older children it may be more of a challenge especially teenagers, however there are a few strategies for introducing more healthier options without turning the dinner table into a battle field.

Optimising your kid’s health for going

Back to School

WITH NICHOLA FLOOD

GOOD SOURCES OF BRAIN BOOSTING PROTEIN Fish, eggs, natural yogurt and cottage cheese (organic where possible). Nuts and seeds. Don’t forget the vegetable proteins like beans and lentils as well as peas and spinach.

Replace Fizzy Drinks with juice (1-part juice to 4 parts water as there are still high levels of sugar in fresh juice) and occasionally use carbonated water as a treat.

BRAIN DRAIN It is also of course very important to avoid or reduce several substances found in the daily diet of children that can have a negative impact on their brain function. Added Sugar in foods is the number one to be avoided as well as refined foods that act like sugar.

Regular in take of sugar will train your child’s palette so they find it diffcult t o e njoy healthier foods. The highs and lows of sugar spikes affects children’s concentration and they show a lack of energy through out the day. Children will put on weight as a result of too much sugar and a lack of energy that prevents them from exercising.

Dried fruit is high in minerals and fibre but can still be high in sugar so mixed with some nuts (of course avoiding nuts if there are allergies) this will help to maintain blood sugar balance.

Fresh fruist chopped always meet the need for something sweet.

Berries are low in sugar and are very appealing to chidren, great for lunch boxes or as a toping over natural yougurt.

For introducing veggies try doing mini egg muffns, c hop y our v eggies fi nely a nd s tir fry or saute, allow to cool and add to some whisked eggs. Divide into muffn cup holders and bake in oven.

Carrot sticks and hummus are always a winner in my house or rice cakes and hummus.

It is important to include children in the shoping and cooking of foods and expose them to a wide variety of nutritious fooods and remember just because they say no once does not mean you can’t try again.

Optimising your childs nutrition will be the best investment in their future.

TOP T IPS F ROM A PERS ONAL SHOPPE R WI TH SIN E A D KE A RY Sinead Keary is a trained and experienced personal shopper who has worked in personal shopping departments in both leading high-street and luxury stores such as Topshop and Brown Thomas Dublin.

H ERE A RE SINEAD’S TOP TIPS B E G I N T H E SE A S O N W I T H A WA R D R O B E C L E A N SE Starting off each season fresh with a wardrobe cleanse will not only make room for new pieces but it will also give you the chance to see and examine what pieces worked well for you last season and what were unsuccessful purchases. This will help you shop more intelligently in the future.

M A K E A SHO P P I N G L I ST AT T H E B E G I N N I N G O F E AC H SE A S O N After you have finished your wardrobe cleanse take the time to do access your wardrobe and take note of what key basics you may be missing for the season ahead. Once you have your shopping list completed you will be more likely to make more considered choices. This also helps minimize impulse shopping.

A SK YOU R SE L F I S T H I S A T I M E L E S S WA R D R O B E P I E C E B E F O R E BU Y I N G I T Buying simple block colours in luxe fabrics is the key to building a capsule wardrobe full of garments that will work well together in lots of different ways.

These simple elegant pieces are often things we may find a little boring to buy but they end up being the pieces we wear and covet the most.

SI N EAD’S TOP PICK S Mix casual and dressy fabrics to achieve an effortlessly cool modern look. I find the best outfits are made up of a high low mix. This is where you combine super casual fabrics and pieces with much dressier luxe fabric. Mix your basic jersey and casual denims with heels and dressy blazers for example to create an edgy polished simple look.

L E AT H E R JAC K E T My leather jacket is my number one hero piece in my wardrobe that I simply could not do without.

It is the perfect piece to help keep simple wardrobe staples looking modern. I love adding a leather jacket over more feminine and romantic dresses and blouses. It’s so worthwhile investing in a buttery luxurious leather jacket like ones from brands such as Rick Owens, Acne, All Saints and Maje as it is sure to stand the test of time.

C A SH M E R E J UM P E R A cashmere jumper is not only the perfect item for layering over dresses and miniskirts but is an absolute treat to wear. The softness of the fabric against your skin is heavenly. My favourites are from Lucy Nagle, and Marks and Spencer for plainer styles.

With the summer behind us and the crazy months ahead, not to mention the days getting shorter, there is never a better time for some personal TLC and a little “me time.”

This month we will help you discover three incredible retreats, both home and away.

The Cliffs of Moher Retreat www.cliffsofmoherretreat.com

If looking out across the Atlantic isn’t enough to sooth your soul, then perhaps The Cliffs of Moher Retreat can help.

They offer a wide selection of retreats to suit your inner needs, such as the Welcome the Winter Retreat. Not for the fainted hearted, as instead for blocking out the cold weather this 6-day retreat teaches you to embrace the cold, “We will not only get outdoors, we will celebrate being outdoors in this darkest of seasons. We will hike, surf, swim and (pier) jump right in and enjoy the amazing gifts that nature at its wildest offers us…” “Stress is within us and all around us. It is hard to ignore. It seems that stress is in the very fabric of this modern life and it is no wonder so many of us do not feel well.” A retreat for people with busy and stressful lives, the Rest, Recover and Reflect Retreat offers deep healing throughout the weekend.

Over the three days you can expect to partake in Healing Restorative Yoga, Silent cliff or ocean walks, treatments/sauna or sea swim, and all you need to fully unwind, recover and leave with the tools to hopefully help you cope with daily stresses.

The price tag may seem steep at first yet there are limited places on each retreat and the prices are all-inclusive and include all classes, meals, beverages, accommodation, walks, hot-tub and sauna.

BelleVIVE Cloona Health Retreat

cloona.ie

Cloona is “…a retreat for the mind, body and soul”. This stunning centre, restored by Tibetan monks in the 1960’s, is close to the sea and beautifully nestled between Croagh Patrick and Westport. It offers cleansing and detox retreats which include yoga, meditation, walking, diet and so much more. According to their website they offer three distinctive types of retreats which are Detox Retreats, Weight Loss Retreats, and Liver Flush Retreats. All retreats are 5 days and offer daily yoga, guided walks, idyllic scenic countryside and wonderful complimentary massages to help you find your inter balance.

Visiting their website, you will get an immediate get a sense of what Cloona Health Retreat has to offer; The idea of basking in the warm midday sun doing yoga whilst the sea breeze fills the air is enough to urge your mind, body and soul to visit.

Again, the price might be steep, but they have a fixed all-inclusive price for all their retreats with optional extras you can add if you wish.

Clinique La Prairie cliniquelaprairie.com

Clinique La Prairie is seemingly the most exclusive and luxurious wellness retreat in the world, yet its more than that; it is a Medical Wellness Retreat. They have an array of leading medical specialists, including 50 doctors and over 200 experts.

Offering a range of expertise to help “… their patients lead healthier and longer lives.” As a health clinic their aim is to pioneer longevity. They believe in holistic and preventive approaches to health and wellness. In their private retreats they offer the chance to “…Live an unforgettable week, breathing the fresh air of the Swiss Alps.”

In your private chalet for two located in the Verbier resort you will have the choice of two different types of retreat; Revitalization and Master Detox. If the idea of private hot tub, log fires and the snowy alps isn’t enough to tempt you then you need to visit their website to have some idea of how incredible this experience would be. When we say this is an exclusive wellness retreat, we mean it. There are no actual prices including on the website as they tailor each visit to every single person, however it would be safe to assume that a visit here for a week could cost thousands of euro for your stay.

Remember your health is your wealth. Looking after ourselves despite our busy and stressful lives is so important. If a wellness retreat isn’t something for you look for a yoga or meditation course online or near you.

What sparked your initial interest with healthy foods and regimes?

I have always been interested in health quite simply because I didn’t feel well for a long time. Dairy didn’t agree with me as a baby and I had a really sensitive tummy.

From as early as I can remember I have always been drawn to reading books and watching documentaries on diet, nutrition, wellness and beauty. I quickly made the connection between what I was eating and the effect it had on my mood, mind and body.

Tell us about your transition from broadcasting and journalism to where you are now?

They say we teach what we need to learn and when I began learning about transitioning to a vegan diet and lifestyle I shared it on my social channels and really began finding my voice then. It was a natural progression with a few nudges given along the way. I studied Fashion Journalism in University of the Arts London and contributed to the Irish Independent and Evening Herald as well as doing a monthly beauty column in Social and Personal. I then began contributing fashion segments on TV3 Xposé whilst building my blog and social channels up. Media continuously evolves and I hope that whatever platforms come next I can transition my voice onto them.

What is your daily routine like?

I work from home so it can be hard to have a boundary between being in ‘working mode’ or ‘at home’ but typically most mornings I am up before 7. I’m very consistent with taking probiotics and take one called Symprove and some Apple Cider Vinegar in a pint of water and then I go to either a yoga class or out for a walk. Typically I shoot content on at least one day a week. I work with different people for video and photography but otherwise I am at home alone experimenting in the kitchen creating recipes, writing content for my site and updating my social channels daily. In terms of beauty it’s about keeping things simple but I am realising maintenance is far more beneficial than anything extreme. Things like Dry Skin Brushing and a light facial cleanse in the morning and epsom salt baths and a deep double cleanse in the evening are important habits I try to maintain.

What are your plans for the future? Do you plan on opening your own restaurant perhaps?

Publish another book? Or is there something else in store for you?

Currently food wise I create vegan options for The Merrion Hotel and it’s honestly a dream come true. I get to work alongside their head Chef Ed Cooney and Pastry Chef Paul Kelly - who are some of the best in the business. It’s genuinely an honour and absolutely incredible to see it all come to life. We have just developed a vegan afternoon tea and I also developed some options for people to enjoy after treatments in their new spa as well as the Garden Room restaurant vegan menu. Otherwise I contribute to The Six O’Clock show and do demonstrations at festivals around the country as well as maintain my blog and social media. I believe if you focus on what’s in front of you and give it your all a lot of the rest takes care of itself. I am hoping to continue to be busy doing work I love but there’s no exact plan!

What do you love to do in your spare time?

I am sure so many people here canrelate to the fact that when you are passionate about what you do you would do it in your spare time anyway. Aside from cooking and eating I love catching up with my friends, doing yoga or getting out into the countryside for a big walk. Simple pleasures really!

What’s your favourite part of the world and why?

I spent a lot of time in LA and trained there in Plantlab which was an amazing vegan cookery school and in terms of beauty and wellness LA is a bit of a Mecca. I found the pollution and dominance of single-use plastic there hard to stomach when I was there the last time though. It’s something we’ve all become so conscious of. Otherwise Ibiza is a magical place! There’s a bohemian sense of revelry there and for nightlife, beautiful beaches and scenery it’s incredible.

You have a cook book contained with a vast array of delicious and healthy foods, what is the healthy snack/recipe that you most like to chow down on?

As we had a lovely warm summer I have been eating a lot of salad bowls. They’re a great way to use up leftover veggies and rice you might have in the fridge. To keep them satisfying I always integrate a good source of vegan protein. Recently I have developed a Tofu Satay recipe for The Merrion Hotel Autumn menu and it’s so delicious.

Something like that is an easy addition to a salad and I always add some healthy fats such as avocado and hemp seeds as well as some fermented foods like sauerkraut on top.

What’s the most important advice you like to share?

I love a good quote and one in particular is ‘live in the faith that the whole world is on my side provided I am true to the best that is in me’ and to take responsibility for your own happiness. Life has interesting, weird and wonderful cards to deal to us but it’s how you deal with them that’s important and I believe how we respond is something we have more control over than we might think. It can be terrifying voicing your opinions and passions but the world is in a very strange flux where a lot is coming to the surface but it’s not a time to be passive. We must be proud of our actions in years to come and use them for greater social change.

What is the one natural beauty product that you cannot live without?

There are so many but I am a big fan of a multi-purpose oil which can be used on dry skin, as a primer base and also to smooth down flyaway hair. Two Irish brands that are doing incredible things are Modern Botany and Codex. Both are working with nature creating beautiful sustainable eco friendly products and they have great oils.

WHY THIS PODCAST What are you wear?! Not a question you thought we’d be asking, yet have you ever put your hands into your pockets and wondered whose bright idea they were or where the idea of the plaid design comes from?! Well look no further.

Over the course of these six-episode, Articles of Interest “…covers a broad range of concepts including the rise of casual wear, the environmental impact of the textile industry and why womenswear doesn’t have pockets. Together, the episodes link thematically, each one to the next, like a daisy chain. Think of it as a podcast concept album … on clothes…”.

PODCAST TWO EAT SLEEP WORK REPEAT Episodes: 35 Details: An Apple #1 Business Podcast on happiness and work culture. Bruce Daisley, Twitter’s European Vice President, interviews psychologists, neuroscientists andworkplace experts to understand how we can improve our jobs. The series has a focus on scienceand experts, over gurus and opinions.

WHY THIS PODCAST

If you work 37.5 hours per week then you spend one quarter of our week at work.

However, the chances are you may work more than that, in fact Bruce Daisley believes that, with social media and email being at our finger tips, we are now closer to working 9.5 hours per day instead of 7.5 and yet productivity hasn’t increased. This is the reason we believe happiness at work is as important as your morning cuppa and Daisley “… wants to bring laughter back to the work places.”

Eat Sleep Work Repeat has a focus on “…on how individuals and businesses can improve workplace culture…” and uses science and scientific experts to do so.

Guests include Sue Unerman on gender inequality in the workplace, Rob Briner on evidence-based management and Cal Newport on digital minimalism. eatsleepworkrepeat.com/category/podcast Available on your usual podcast platforms

You only need to walk outside our front door to witness the veritable sea of hair suited males walking up and down our streets. If modern architecture and technology were not surrounding us, one could be forgiven to think we had stepped back in time, to Victorian times. Now men with beards is not a new thing, yet the amount of men choosing to wear one in large numbers is, and what’s more, beard care is an industry that has grown along with the increase in walking beards! Not since ye olden times have gentlemen tended to their facial masterpieces with quite such aplomb than in 2019. It is with this in mind that we shall take a brief but important look at two beard centric shampoos and two styling products.

T H E

C L E A N I N G

THE BLUEBEARDS REVENGE THE ULTIMATE SHAMPOO FOR REAL MEN BLUEBEARDS-REVENGE.CO.UK

The barbershop quality shampoo itself has a pleasant fragrance and you do not need a lot to properly shampoo your beard. The company urges the user to “Be warned – The Bluebeards Revenge Shampoo will leave your hair feeling silky-smooth and smelling absolutely divine – as well as making you utterly irresistible to potential admirers!”. Not strictly a beard shampoo, it can also be used on the scalp as well. If you’re new to the beard community its worth knowing that your beard needs a more sensitive shampoo as facial skin is more sensitive; and this shampoo is suitable for all the hair on your head and face.

MURDOCK LONDON BEARD SHAMPOO FINE GROOMING WWW.MURDOCKLONDON.COM/UK

As consumers we are always searching for “that new product”. And in doing so...step forward Murdock London Beard Shampoo. The company state that it “…

Helps to prevent breakage for facial hair that feels revitalised and well-groomed with natural shine”. They also explain how the shampoo itself works and treats the beard and skin, “…the shampoo transforms into a rich lather that effectively eliminates daily pollutants and impurities to reveal a soft, healthy-looking beard”.

Many within the online community sing the praises of the product. Most suggesting that although it may seem pricey the longevity of the shampoo remains, due to only needing a small amount to cleanse the beard.

Others praise the shampoo with kind words about the pleasant fragrance and the great condition it leaves the beard in.

G R O O M I N G THE BLUEBEARDS REVENGE SEA SALT SPRAY

BLUEBEARDS-REVENGE.CO.UK

After cleansing your beard with a shampoo of choice, next you’re onto styling your beard, which is very important to keep it in control. It’s best not to skimp on this part of your beard care regime. Firstly allow your beard to dry a little before applying the sea salt spray. The Bluebeard Revenge Sea Salt Spray is a “… premium-quality sea salt spray that is specially designed with sea salt minerals to give men a natural look that adds hold, volume, texture and wave…”. This is applied all over your beard just before you blow dry the beard (always use the low heat setting!) and use a small round brush to shape and set your beard in place.

GENTLEMANS FACE CARE CLUB BEARD BALM

GENTLEMANSFACECARECLUB.COM

With your beard now thoroughly clean and shaped into position we recommend using the Beard Balm by the Gentlemans Face Care Club to hold it in place and keep it beautifully conditioned. This product is a topquality wax specially designed and created to give your beard a firm fix without it being greasy. As well as holding your perfectly quaft beard in place the beard balm nourishes and conditions at the same time. Aside from your beard looking great with the Gentlemans Face Care Club, the balm can help with other side effects of having a beard such as beard itch, and they say “…by moisturising and nourishing your facial hair daily from root to tip you can stop the constant irritation caused by an annoying itchy beard.” Whether you’re new or old to sporting a beard, and whatever your beardy needs are, one thing is true; Taking care of your beard and face that holds the beard in place is so important.

For the last few months we’ve been bringing you some of the best apps on the market and this month is no different.

We have three very different apps, including one that will help you organise your work and life, one that will bring your creative side out, and one that will read you a bedtime (or daytime) story.

So ‘Come on, get up, and get ‘appy’

TRELLO Of all the organisational tools we’ve tried and tested this is one of our favourites. We might be new to Trello but we’re certainly converted. “Trello lets you work more collaboratively and get more done. Trello’s boards, lists, and cards enable you to organise and prioritize your projects in a fun, flexible, and rewarding way.” You can set up what they call “boards”, which you set up for each project and then invite people to join that board. It’s within your boards where you can add your ‘To-Do’. What we love most about Trello and what makes it stand out is the simplicity and that with each board you can set up different lists. So along with your ‘To-Do’ List, next to that you can have ‘In Progress’ list and a ‘Completed’ list. This helps you and your team members see who is doing what and at what stage of completion they are at. This would be great if you’re organising a promotional event or if you wanted to get your team more focused on additional day to day tasks. This app is so intuitive and easy to use and what is even more brilliant is the price tag; its free!!

If you’ve never used an organizational app before we this one it worth trying.

GET ‘APPY

September Issue No.17 2019

CANVA We all know that social media is such an important promotional tool when it comes to business. But did you ever look at another businesses posts and wonder how they could to afford a graphic designer to create beautifully slick and powerful pictures?!

Well for small business (and big ones too) Canva is the social media pocket graphic designer. Canva “…uses a drag-and-drop format and provides access to over a million photographs, graphics, and fonts. It is used by non-designers as well as professionals. The tools can be used for both web and print media design and graphics…” From the moment you open the app you are greeted with design templates such as Instagram Post, Instagram Story, or Facebook post.

Simple click on the one you want to make and get creative. You can use the templates they have on the app, or create one using a photo of your choice, perhaps one you’ve taken. You can change text, colours and really make it your own. You can create a brilliant and professional looking post in about 15 minutes. Some Canva designs you have to pay for but there are lots available for free.

AUDIBLE

It’s the end of the day, you’re laying bed and your tired. Yet you can’t seem to drift off to sleep. You mind is ticking and think of all things you have to do tomorrow. If that is the case then a bedtime story is what you need and Audible is the app to do. There is a huge back catalogue of books to choose from and more are being added all the time.

There is literally a story of everyone. In Ireland and UK, you have to subscribe via audible. co.uk and you receive a 30-day free trial.

After which there is a monthly subscription charge, but included in that charge you get one audiobook to keep, even if you cancel (which you can do at any time) you will still get to keep that audiobook for life. There are also a huge number of free Podcasts and audio books available too. You get to try before you buy on all books we’ve come across, which means you get a 5-minute sample of the book to listen too. As Audible are an Amazon company they also offer Whisper-Sync. If you’ve bought a book for Kindle or Kindle App and get tired of reading, for a fraction of the cost you can buy you the audio book. Both are synced together so you can switch between reading and listening.

This app and its subscription are well worth the cost, but don’t take our word of it, try out the free trial.

If you have an app that you love, or one you’re launching, get in touch and we’ll do our best to get it featured in our ‘Get Appy’ section.
