We believe Jeunesse is the most rewarding way to stay young. And we fulfil that promise in more ways than one.

As a Beauty Industry Expert for over 25 years, I’ve tried my fair share of anti-wrinkle products, but none have been as effective as Instantly Ageless™ – and the results are instant. Inspired by the Jeunesse philosophy of looking and feeling younger inside and out, I became a distributor and haven’t looked back.

Fitting around my busy life of running salons, I have built a team all around the world, including places as far away as Honk Kong! Instantly Ageless™ has a vast earning potential as it is easy to talk about, sell and get people involved.

After all, who doesn’t want to look younger?

Instantly Ageless™

Instantly Ageless™ is a powerful anti-wrinkle microcream that works quickly and effectively to diminish the visible signs of aging. Instantly Ageless™ revives the skin and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and pores for a flawless finish.

A perfect day starts with perfect skin.

Meticulously developed, our formula is lightweight and contains a skin-conditioning complex of minerals that evens skin tone.

Instantly Ageless™ immediately dissolves into the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

It’s specifically designed to target areas which have lost elasticity—revealing visibly toned, lifted skin. Users have seen dramatic results in seconds.

Are you popping too many painkiller pills?

T

he pills people take to relieve headaches and migraines may be making things much worse, according to the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) in guidance to the health service for England and Wales.

As many as one in 50 people suffer continual headaches because of “medication overuse”, Nice reports. The problem begins with taking the odd painkiller for tension headaches or migraines, which usually works. But some people take the pills more and more often, until they are on tablets for more than half the days in a month. Nice says that if this goes on for more than three months the medication ends up causing the problem it is intended to cure.

So what alternatives are there to continually popping pills?

people find it hard to relax and probably don’t realise how tense they are. If someone suffers from headaches it may also be neck related due to stiffness or restrictions of the neck.

Osteopaths look to find the cause of tensions or stiffness and seek to relieve it by helping the body achieve more mobility and flexibility.

Other lifestyle factors such as poor posture at a desk or tiredness can lead to tension-type or neck related headaches. Osteopaths look to relieve this tension and give advice on posture and exercises to do to helpTelprevent 01295the 713tension 666 or stiffness from building up.

This is a musical group for 0-5yrs, a really fun lively class for babies and pre-school children. It develops confidence, co-ordination, balance, posture, body awareness, mobility, speech, memory, rhythm, creativity, socialisation and friendships and we just have the most fun possible. Props are used and children learn the art of dance, song and mime. Hot drinks and cakes are provided for parents and carer’s – come along and join the fun. Classes are pay as you go each week just £5.00 (sibling discount too).

I took my seven month old daughter last week to the Mini Movers class . It was a total winner - she has never had so much fun watching the children and bouncying on my knee!

The songs were a combination of old favourites we already knew along with some new ones to learn. The children were engaged by the gorgeous props they were offered to help with the songs. This was recommended to me by a friend - a great find!

Handy Hints For

A Kitchen Makeover Granite Transformations offers six styling tips for a swift kitchen makeover

Nothing dates a kitchen like worn worktops, damaged doors, stained grouting, cracked tiles and burned surfaces. But renovating your kitchen and bringing the décor bang up‑to‑date needn’t cost the earth and could add upwards of 5% to the value of your property.

To give you an idea, home makeover experts Granite Transformations have put together some handy hints for updating your kitchen décor.

Layout – if you’re comfortable with your layout and its familiar oven-sink-fridge work triangle, then don’t rip everything out and fit totally new units, with all the expense and disruption that entails. Instead, reface your work surfaces with composite granite, quartz, recycled glass or porcelain composites that fit right over existing worktops and replace cabinet doors with new made‑to‑measure fittings, leaving the underlying carcases intact.

This also means no rewiring or new pipework, cutting installation costs by more than half.

Storage – even though you’re happy with the basics, your accumulation of gadgets and materials might make extra storage a bonus. Refaced work surfaces and cabinetry enable a new central island unit, extra wall cabinets or a full-height storage cupboard to be integrated seamlessly into your new design. There is also the option of glass-fronted cabinets and drawers for displaying prized knick-knacks or extending a run of base cabinets into a rightangle peninsula end, complete with cantilevered worktops for a breakfast counter.

www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935

Appliances – with the saving you enjoy from a makeover rather than installing a new fitted kitchen, you should be able to splash out on selected appliances, sinks, taps and accessories to set off your updated décor. The beauty of standard-sized kitchen units and white goods is that new items can be dropped into place with little fuss. So investigate new cooking technology like steam ovens, induction hobs, flush‑mounted cookers and built‑in microwaves, as well as undermount ceramic bowls and, going back in time, a deep butler’s sink

Practicality – if you have laboured in the past with resealing, sanding, treating and polishing stone, timber and laminate worktops, then now is the time to choose a modern, maintenance-free composite material that is nonporous, flame‑resistant and withstands stains, scratches, cuts, burns and knocks. Today’s agglomerate granite, quartz and recycled surfaces look like luxurious natural stone, but need just an occasional wipeover to keep their sheen and come in a wide choice of colours.

Splashbacks – you’d be surprised how a decorative, yet practical splashback can enhance or transform the look of a kitchen. Choose a regular upstand in the same material to run around the worktops, protecting against dirt and bacteria, a half-height glass mosaic splashback that adds texture and sparkle, or perhaps an extravagant, full wall panel in large tiles or seamless sheeting.

Modern, slimline agglomerate and polyurethanebacked mosaics will fit over existing tiles and surfaces, making fitting a breeze.

Colours – your décor is a reflection of your personality and lifestyle, so a kitchen makeover gives an opportunity to ditch unfashionable or eccentric finishes and explore fresh colour and style directions.

Black worktops can become white or bold colours, timbergrain cabinet doors can be transformed into high gloss acrylic and you can add splashes of brightness with glass mosaic panels or an island unit in a contrasting colour.

Remodelling means the choice is yours.

Granite Transformations operates showrooms in Banbury and Bicester, with their own expert designers and fitters who can carry out these kitchen makeovers and more, often in just one day.

Banbury food fair

Sunday 9th August 2015 10.30am - 4.30pm banbury market place

T

he Banbury Food Fair celebrates the wide range of high quality food and drink produced in the town and surrounding area.

It explores the art of food and drink-making, and provides a wonderful opportunity for people to experience the friendly and sociable atmosphere that accompanies eating and drinking.

Many of the exhibitors are small, independent producers who specialise in non-supermarket type food, beer, wine and cider – and visitors to the fair are able to view, sample and purchase some of England’s best and tastiest food and drink.

Don’t worry about your Sunday lunch on this day, come down and treat yourself to some of the fabulous and delicious hot food, you won’t be disappointed ... or hungry !

During the day you will pick up culinary hints and tips in the demonstration marquee. Demonstrations are held throughout the day - a great time to pick up new skills or ask the demonstration chefs a question. We are pleased to welcome the wonderful and charismatic Rustie Lee, cooking up some Caribbean delights. Alongside Rustie will be Great British Bake Off finalist Luis Troyano.

Watch Luis bake up a treat, with perhaps even a few behind the scenes secrets of the popular programme.

Another major feature of the Banbury Food Fair is the popular Flower & Produce Show, taking its prime place at the top of

the Market Place. Over 600 exhibits will be on show for the viewing public. Categories are: Fruit and Vegetables, Cakes & Preserves, Cut Flowers & Potted Plants, Floral Arrangements, Children’s Variety and Crafts.

Beautiful Artificial Lawns

without the upkeep!

Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets

Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 2-3 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.
