Is stubborn, exercise-resistant cellulite damaging your confidence?
I
f you exercise and eat healthily but still suffer from cellulite you may feel as though you have tried everything – allow us to introduce you to lipomassage here in Milton Keynes. Perfect Contour uses 100% natural cellular stimulation techniques which would make a great addition to your regime. We offer Endermologie® which massages the connective tissue deep below the skin, and ultrasound for fat mobilisation. At Perfect Contour we specialise in scientifically proven non-surgical, non-invasive techniques to combat cellulite at the source (unlike some creams which merely plump out the skin to mask the appearance of cellulite) and with no recovery time, it will not hamper your workouts!
target areas onto the bodysuit so they can be clearly identified during all of your sessions. Our latest generation Endermologie® machine, with its patented treatment head, uses two adjustable rollers and mild suction (which, when rolled over the layer of fat, creates а symmetrical skin-fold). This action massages and stretches the connective tissues below the skin and controls deep tissue and fat mobilisation. You can also have completely tailored sessions which include lymphatic drainage and other health benefits – just ask your operative at your consultation. The duration of your treatment depends on the size of area to be treated. Your treatment is conducted twice а week to begin with, in order to maximise the results. And for the most effective results, it is recommended that you lead а healthy and active lifestyle.

The term cellulite is used to describe the collection of subcutaneous fat which causes a dimpling of the skin. Around 90% of women experience some form of cellulite according to published medical studies. Some people wrongly associate cellulite with obesity, but in fact it can also occur in trim women. Cellulite is indeed mostly found in women, due to biological differences below the skin and hormonal changes; it is commonly found in areas like the thighs, buttocks and tummy. As the Perfect Contour technique targets the skin, you wear a specialised bodysuit called Endermowear®. It has been specially designed for your comfort and privacy during sessions, as well as for hygiene purposes. What’s more, your practitioner can trace your

Cloudy2Clear Windows - Service with a smile!
I
t’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes - not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Billy Harley feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the
customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole. ’ Cloudy2Clear service the Milton Keynes, Bedford and Leighton Buzzard areas and Billy is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated .’
So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Billy a cal l for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Geneva Motor Show Reviewed March 2014
T
his month we visited the Geneva Motor Show so thought we would share some of the fantastic new cars that were launched there this year.
This is still one of the biggest Motor Shows in the world and only a 2 hour flight from Luton, it’s a must for all motoring enthusiasts. It has been going since 1905 (so they know what they’re doing!!), and attracts over three
quarters of a million people over 11 days. This year saw world debuts of the Mercedes S-Class Coupe, C-class, Lamborghini Huracan, Audi TT, and Citroen C1, along with the face lifted Nissan Juke plus loads more. We like to attend this every year so we can advise our clients on model changes and so we know what’s hot and what’s not.

ay ‘clematis’ and most people will think of the large, purple-flowered, “Jackmanii” or the rampant, bronze-leafed, pinkflowered montana rubens. I have nothing against either of these, but whenever I pass by a house and spot yet another one scrambling up a tatty trellis tacked to the wall, I have to fight the urge to knock on the front door and give what my husband refers to as my ‘clematis lecture’. Clematis is not known as the ‘Queen of Climbers’ for nothing. It can be utterly spectacular and should not be relegated to trellis. It can used for covering fences and arbours, old tree stumps, sheds and even in beds and borders. Choose wisely and you can have flowers from early spring until late autumn. The flowers of the texensis hybrids look like finely cut bells. “Etoile Rose” is a beautiful dark pink edged with paler pink and “Princess of Wales” is a beautiful rosy red. Both of these will scramble through

shrubs and flower all summer. They die back in winter so can be tidied up then. Viticella hybrids produce flowers which look like little pixie hats as they open. “Minuet” has purple and white flowers suspended on fine stems while “Purpurea Plena Elegans” produces double blooms which open into little purple rosettes. Clematis prefers its feet in the shade and its head in the sun. Make sure the plant’s roots are shaded: pieces of broken flagstone are ideal, or an old cracked upside-down terracotta pot with the bottom knocked out. When clematis is happy it will flower prolifically. Large-flowered clematis tend to produce a second flush in the autumn, but others like tangutica and orientalis wait to flower until then. Both of these are very vigorous and are great for covering unsightly sheds or old trees. Finally, if you have a sheltered spot against a wall try cirrhosa balearica. This is a beautiful, winter-flowering variety with ferny foliage and pale-green flowers spotted with crimson.
So there you have it... my clematis lecture in a nutshell. Branch ou t with your clematis this year, or you risk me knocking on your door to deliver my lectur e in person!

Which Facial is Best for me?
T
here are many facials to choose from, it can be tricky knowing which one to book at your salon. A reputable salon should guide you and during a thorough consultation, recommend an appropriate treatment. The beauty therapist is after all, the expert and knows the range of treatments and products available to them. Facials can vary, from basic cleansing, to an advanced non-surgical firming, electrical treatment, utilising state of the art machines. Whether you are looking for deep relaxation for an hour or you want to make a dramatic change to the appearance of your skin, a facial can always be an enjoyable experience. In the competent hands of a professional therapist, you can achieve results that improve acne or reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Once a month is a good frequency for maintenance, but if you wish to achieve real change to your skin, you may need a course of weekly treatments. Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular treatments; this thorough facial removes dead skin cells and reveals fresher brighter cells, which reflect more light. The softening effect of this facial means you enjoy the benefits for weeks after the treatment.
CACI Micro-Lift Anti-age treatment is the best on the market for reducing the signs of aging. Electrical current is passed through the muscles of the face and neck, toning and lifting to produce a firmer jaw line and lifted brow. Fruit acid peels are great for refreshing the complexion and minimising scars; they can also improve fine lines and enable the skin to absorb extra moisture, giving the surface a moisture surge. Red Light Therapy is the latest innovation in cell regeneration and is very effective in the battle against wrinkle formation. Whichever facial you have, it should be a relaxing, enjoyable experience that leaves you feeling pampered, with glowing skin and sense of wellbeing.

MP’s Diary
T
his last month has been another busy one. In my speech to open the MK Business Expo, at the MK Stadium, I urged Milton Keynes to put in a strong bid to host the planned new HS2 Skills Academy.
The Academy will deliver specialised training to make HS2 a success and ensure it can be built by skilled workers. It will be the first college of its kind to be built in over 20 years and Mark Lancaster and I will be be working with local organisations to get the Academy built in Milton Keynes. I have also spent time visiting residents and small businesses in Woburn Sands, supporting their entrepreneurship and learning about industries. I welcomed the recent announcements in the Budget to help people who want to save or who rely on their income from their savings. Creating a new ‘pensioners bond’ will offer a higher interest rate than is currently available and help those who have worked hard and provided for their retirement. On top of this, removing the need to buy an annuity will mean that those who are retiring will have much greater flexibility in accessing their pensions. I am also pleased that by creating a new ISA with a higher annual limit of £15,000, saving will be made simpler and more flexible. The abolition of the 10p tax on savings income is part of a package of

measures designed to allow savers to keep more of their money and give them more freedom, this is beneficial to those who are working and indeed those in retirement. I am very pleased to have also had some success in helping MKFM’s campaign to secure a permanent FM broadcasting licence. Following the debate in Parliament that I led a few weeks ago, OFCOM have agreed to one of the suggestions that I made; to review MKFM’s application at an earlier point in the timetable. Hopefully this will mean that MKFM will get their much hoped for permanent FM slot much sooner than they were going to. I was very fortunate to receive a makeover, from Levi’s at Midsummer Place in central Milton Keynes, during the launch of the shopping centre’s new campaign. With some help from the store manager, Lee Warren, I created a new style and while it may not replace my suit and tie when in Westminster or travelling across Milton Keynes, it certainly was an enjoyable experience.

Controlling condensation and mould in the home
D
ampness caused by excessive condensation can lead to mould growth on walls and furniture, mildew on clothes and the rotting of wooden window frames … mould is unsightly, damages property and can be detrimental to health. First steps against mould growth. We need to treat the mould already present in your home, then deal with the basic problem of condensation to stop mould reappearing: There are FOUR main factors that cause condensation: 1. Too much moisture being produced in the home 2. Not enough ventilation 3. Cold surfaces 4. The temperature of your home You need to look at all of these factors to cure a condensation problem. Our everyday activities add extra moisture to the air inside our
homes. Even our breathing adds moisture. Apparently one person asleep adds half a pint of water to the air during the night. (We recommend that you do not stop breathing !!!) To give you some idea of as to how much extra water this could be in a day, here are a few examples: • A bath or a shower - 2 pints • Drying clothes indoors - 9 pints • Cooking and use of a kettle - 6 pints • Bottled gas heater (8 hours use) - 4 pints If you have a condensation and mould problem in your home, whether you are a home owner or a landlord, we are happy to advise and will provide a free estimate for any remedial work that may be required.

Small businesses will lead the way in 2014, says company whose tenants already employ 1000 people
M
Milton Keynes will boom in 2014, says the town’s largest serviced business premises provider, as the number of people employed in its units tops 1000 at the close of 2013.
Bucks Biz, with over 400,000 square feet of space and 150 tenants in Bletchley and Denbigh, says it is already planning more units to cope with the expected growth in demand and bringing forward plans to develop extra space at the huge Interchange House in Howard Way. “Our units currently provide work for around a thousand people and we have seen that figure rise steadily,” said Dominic Muscat, a director of the company that owns the business. “As Milton Keynes business booms, led by small businesses, we are already identifying potential new units that can be converted to provide the premises needed for small companies to thrive without hassle.”
Bucks Biz, with units all over Milton Keynes, is renowned for straight talking and dealing; not hiding costs and not charging for many of the little things that keep businesses ticking, but which can be annoying to the point of distraction. “We really believe that if our customers are happy, then they’ll be free to get on with their businesses, which in turn will expand,” added Dominic.

What on earth is Korfball?
M
ilton Keynes has a thriving korfball community, but most people won’t have a clue what it is!
Korfball is a bit like netball and bit like basketball - but better!* It’s played in mixed sex teams of 4 men and 4 women on a court similar sized to basketball. Korfball is played indoors during the winter and outdoors during the summer. The aim of the game is to work with your team-mates to get the ball through the hoop (Korf) Men can only mark men and women can only mark women and unlike netball, you can’t shoot if your defender is within touching distance of you – so you need to move quick! So now you know what korfball is, why not come down and give it a go? MK Lakers Korfball club are always looking for new and enthusiastic members, we train twice a week on a Monday and Wednesday and play league matches on a Sunday. It’s a superb way to get fit and meet lots of new people. As a newbie, you get your first two sessions for FREE and the next two pay as you go - after that, you can decide to join us for only £20 per month. Less than most gym fees and much more fun and sociable! *in our opinion!
