Hi there, Welcome to our August edition Thanks for reading yet another edition of our little local magazine. I'm sitting here writing this quite late this month and its currently 30 degrees outside at 9am!

I have to confess I am guilty of moaning about the heat; a couple of months after moaning about the rain. I suppose if we didn't moan about the weather we wouldn't truly be living in Britain.

alternative with out missing out on all the fun.

Last months quiz winner was Scott Kerchell from Meadow Road, who won a Missing Link DVD. Congratulations and please remember to send all your details!

In the kids quiz this month your child has the chance to win a Paw Patrol DVD. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!

Enough about my moans and groans now and more about this month's magazine! We have a great movie preview this month of Quentin Tarantino's (apparently) penultimate movie called Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

If you would like to advertise with us, the last day to get your advert in is 15th August. We can design your ad for Free and a Month’s Advertising to 20,000 homes costs from as little as £45. You can contact us on 01268 330271 or email at sales@eblmagazines.co.uk

We also have a great article this month in our garden section about recycling waste water. Some really simple ideas to use your 'greywater' for the garden. This could be a really good idea with the yearly worry about droughts just round the corner.

We do not vet our advertisers and take no responsibility for anyone who advertises with us.

For everyone cutting back on alcohol currently we have an article and recipe focused on mocktails to give you a tasty

BEACHWEAR GUIDE

This summer many of you will be gravitating towards a beach where you can cool down in the sea and enjoy the sensation of grainy sand in between your toes. It could be a day out in Southend - on - Sea or somewhere slightly more exotic, but the premise is the same: you need to feel comfortable and confident.

Although there are always trends when it comes to swimwear I’m going to insist that you just go with whatever style you feel most at ease with. I have a few tips to usher you in the right direction, but please express yourself and play with colour, detailing and cut…

The One Piece

The swimming costume has come of age and offers both sophistication and style in one.

The one piece is very flattering and elongates the physique. I adore tropical prints in tonal greens or bright pops of colour with clever detailing such as one shoulder or low back styles. Strapless is the way to go if you want to minimise tan lines and stay cool.

The Classic Two Piece

The key to selecting a flattering bikini is all in the fit. If you have a larger bust I would always recommend an underwired cup to get the shape just so. You can emphasise the part of your body you’re most fond of – for example if you want to high light a smaller waist go for colour, texture or print and tone it down at the top. You can match or clash add sparkle or go nautical – you make the rules.

Article sponsored by this local business

The Cover Up

The best element of the beach cover up is that it is so easy to wear and goes with anything. The kaftan is eternally classic and is best decorated with sequins and embroidery.

You can also pair it with heels and chandelier earrings for dinner. A sarong loosely tied round the waist is also a suitcase essential.

My personal favourite has to be the playsuit though fresh and perfect for sinking your hands in those deep pockets.

All I ask is that you feel totally confident and absolutely yourself…

OAKWOOD PODIATRY

New, innovative technique offered by only a small number of Podiatry clinics

SIMPLE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR FUNGAL NAILS HOW DO I KNOW I HAVE FUNGAL NAILS? You may have noticed changes in the texture, quality and colour of your nails. Sometimes it is noticed after nail varnish or gels have been removed. Typical first signs are a yellowing or brown discolouration, nails may become thick, crumbly or brittle. Nails can become distorted, misshapen and may lift from the nail bed losing their healthy shine.

Nail Fungus Signs • • • • •

Thickened Nails Crumbly or Brittle Nails Distorted in Shape of Lifting Discoloured Nails Nails without a Healthy Shine

What is the Lacuna Method • Pain Free Safe Treatment • Making Micro holes in the nail plate allow an anti-fungal medicine to reach the point of infection directly under the nail • Continued once a day application of an anti-fungal allows the nail to grow out healthy

HOW CAN LACUNA METHOD HELP ME? Fungal nail infection (Onychomycosis is the most difficult of the superficial fungal infections to treat as most topical agents are ineffective at penetrating the nail plate to reach the active infection on the nail bed (the skin under the nail). By making icro holes in the nail plate with the innovative and specially designed micro burrs, your foot specialist can enable you to apply an anti-fungal agent, such as Lamsil Spray directly to the infeted nail bed. Which will spread nder the nail as you walk.

With daily application of the anti-fungal agent, the fungus is stopped from spreading and the damaged nail grows out. As the nail is dead you cannot feel the holes being made.

Are you suffering with foot problems?

Trust us to treat all your foot-related issues quickly & effectively.

NEW TARANTINO MOVIE Release Date: 14/08/19

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a 2019 comedy-drama film written and directed

by Quentin Tarantino. First announced in July 2017, the film is the first of Tarantino's not to be associated with producer Harvey Weinstein, after Tarantino cut ties with The Weinstein Company following sexual abuse allegations against Weinstein that October. Sony Pictures won the distribution rights, having met several of Tarantino's demands including final cut privilege.

The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie, alongside Emile Hirsch, Margaret Qualley, Timothy Olyphant, Austin Butler, Dakota Fanning, Bruce Dern, and Al Pacino. The film is set in 1960s Los Angeles in an alternate timeline where an aging television actor and his stunt double and longtime friend embark on an odyssey to make a name for themselves in the Hollywood film industry. It features a large ensemble cast who star in "multiple storylines in a modern fairy tale tribute to the final moments of Hollywood's golden age."

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2019, and is scheduled to be theatrically released in the United States on July 26, 2019 and on August 14, 2019 in the United Kingdom. Critics had "an overall positive view" of the film, who called the film "Tarantino's love letter to '60s L.A."

RECYCLE WASTE WATER I like to consider myself an eco-gardener. I use few pesticides and I recycle, upcycle and repurpose whenever I can. Like many people I own and use several water butts, which are a fantastic way to utilise all the lovely free rainwater nature provides.

Over the past few years I’ve been reading and researching about other sources of water too.

I’m talking about grey water. But what is grey water and how can gardeners make use of it?

Grey water, for those not in the know, is any kind of household wastewater apart from toilet water, which is considered ‘black water’, and which should definitely not be recycled by the average gardener.

You can reclaim water from your washing machine or dishwasher, but this can prove costly and time consuming. The best advice for us amateur eco-gardeners is ‘keep it simple’, especially in the first instance.

Basically, this means water from the kitchen sink, the bath or shower, or paddling pool.

Gardening Article Sponsored by

24HR

Getting grey water to the garden is not difficult. In the case of washing-up water, simply use a removable plastic bowl in the sink which can be carried out. For baths and paddling pools ask at your garden centre or local DIY store for a water siphon hand pump.

All you have to do is prime the siphon with a couple of squeezes then let the water run out into your temporary storage containers.

Once you have the grey water you need to clean it before using it in the garden. This involves filtering it into a large watering can through a piece of fleece or muslin to remove any debris and obvious residue. The water should then be left to cool. It needs to be used within 24 hours to prevent bacterial build-up.

Now that many of us are on water meters recycling our water makes both good environmental and sound economic sense too.

Safety first All grey water will contain some bacteria. Use it within 24 hours but don’t use it for edible plants or for pots and containers, only on decorative border plants.

YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES MOBILE

Escape Rooms are becoming very popular in the UK and we are very proud to bring the first Escape Rooms to Basildon.

Escape Rooms are suitable for Adults and for Children aged 8+.

An escape room, also known as an “escape game”, is a physical adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete the objectives at hand. Players are given a set time limit to unveil the secret plot which is hidden within the rooms. Escape rooms are inspired by “escape-the-room”–style video games. Games are set in a variety of fictional locations, such as prison cells, dungeons, and space stations, and usually the various puzzles and riddles themselves follow the theme of the room.

At Escape Basildon we have two rooms currently that can host a total of 14 people.

The larger of the two rooms, Overthrone has a medieval theme and like both rooms, benefits from amazing decor and props. The Magic Emporium can host upto 6 people at one time and puts you in a shopping street in the wizard world.

Our rooms can cater for families with children as young as 8 and one of our rooms is also wheelchair accessible. We look forward to welcoming you to Escape Basildon, which is NOW OPEN.

IT'S MOCKTAIL HOUR People don’t drink alcohol for many reasons: pregnancy, medication, religious reasons, designated driver status…or because they just don’t drink alcohol (like me!).

It used to bug me at social gatherings when people asked me what I wanted to drink, reeling off a whole list of possibilities: gin and tonic, vodka and orange, rum and coke, and I’d say, ‘Do you have anything non-alcoholic?’ and the choice would be tonic without the gin, orange without the vodka or coke without the rum!

I became adept at creating my own nonalcoholic drinks which felt ‘special’. Here’s how to turn any cocktail into a delicious mocktail and delight your non-alcohol-drinking friends.

The key element in most good mocktails is something sparkly. This elevates the drink and makes it feel more special than glass of juice.

Any cocktail recipe which uses club soda, tonic water, ginger ale, or ginger beer will probably translate to a good mocktail. Some non-sparkly drinks translate well too. These tend to be the spicy ones like Bloody Marys, where you don’t miss the alcoholic component.

Start with the syrups. Buy good quality ones (Bottle Green cordials work brilliantly and come in a range of amazing flavours - I love Rhubarb and Ginger).

Try infusing your drinks with fresh fruit and herbs. A bunch of mint or basil, or a sprig of lavender or rosemary takes a mocktail to the next level, as does fruit. Layer on more flavour with the garnish. Dip the rims of glasses in flavoured salts or sugars, and use citrus slices, pineapple, olives or other fresh ingredients

to add flavour and fragrance to your drink to make it a sensory experience. Cocktail umbrellas and decorative sparklers won’t add flavour, but they do make any drink look more celebratory.

Don’t forget the ice. Lots of ice. You can buy bags of it for a party if making it ahead of time is too much hassle.

Does every cocktail translate to a mocktail?

Well no…drinks with only two ingredients don't really work, because as previously stated, a rum and coke without the rum is just coke right? And I find the sweet ones can be a bit cloying for me and taste too ‘desserty’ but if you have a sweet tooth knock yourself out.

My youngest loves a virgin pinacolada. And talking of children, making mocktails is a great summer holiday project the whole family can all enjoy! Have fun.
