Coaching :
Do you need one?
The
difference between people who achieve success and those who don't often
boils down to how they spend their time. Getting organised is one of
the keys to high achievement. It's identifying the things that need
to be done and working out ways to fit them easily into your schedule.
Many of us make excuses. Excuses are a justification for not achieving
a desired outcome, an opportunity to lay blame elsewhere, away from
you. I teach my coaching clients that excuses don't serve any purpose
whatsoever. Often I ask my clients "How important is this goal,
and when are you going to accept responsibility for it?" You have
a goal, create a plan, take action and make it happen. Accept responsibility
for the outcome. Own it! Then move ahead
A Life Coach's role is to help you focus on goals in specific areas
of your life, such as relationship, career or creativity, and gain a
more comprehensive understanding of the power of your mind and how it
affects your beliefs, attitudes, behavior and ultimately your self-esteem,
confidence and performance. I will keep your vision alive and support
you when times get tough. Combining counseling skills with life coaching
I will identify your sabotage and success strategies.
The benefits become truly visible and tangible when clients address
their domestic situations, improve personal relationships, uncover hidden
skills and talents, kick start their careers, change jobs, rid themselves
of the things around them that are holding them back.
There is much power in working with someone who believes you can reach
your dreams. Imagine yourself on a journey of self-discovery, seeing
all that you are capable of and becoming the person you truly want to
be!

Male
Waxing: Secret Mens Business!
One
of the best kept secrets is waxing. So many men resorted to methods
like shaving and depilatory creams only to be disappointed afterwards
as the result is often a painful mess of ingrown hairs and rash. After
shaving the hair tends to be stronger and often returns within a day
so all that effort seems futile. Waxing on the other hand will decrease
the thickness of the hair therefore the hair will grow back sparser,the
follicle becomes weaker every time so the pain factor is lessened and
best of all you don't have to worry about hair growth for 3-6 weeks.
At
Sanctuary Earth Day Spa only the highest quality wax is used making
it suitable for even the most sensitive of skins. The therapists are
experts in hair removal, recognising the qualities of the male hair
follicle and therefore the greatest of care is taken. We pride ourselves
in the reputation we have earnt, of being the best in the business.
Our male clientele is forever growing and the loyalty we have established
is strong.
If hair removal is what you need, the search is over. The therapists
at Sanctuary Earth Day Spa will make sure that the results you desire
are met.

Microdermabrasion:
Super Stars Swear by it !
Microdermabrasion
is one such treatment. America's fourth most popular cosmetic treatment
is now taking Australia by storm; with armies of women and men flocking
to their local beauty salons for the ultimate in non-surgical skin resurfacing.
What
is Microdermabrasion?
Whether
you suffer from pigmentation, acne scarring or you just want that fresh
faced look sported by stars such as Jennifer Lopez or Australia's own
Kylie Minogue then consider Microdermabrasion.
Using
diamond-shaped crystals, the skin is mechanically exfoliated, removing
the outer layer of dead skin cells and stiumulating the regeneration
of healthy skin cells, which in turn, improves elasticity, texture,
colour and the overall feel and appearance of the skin.
The
advantages of Microdermabrasion over other types of skin resurfacing
treatments such as Laser or Chemical Peels, are it's minimal 'down time'
and little trauma to the area being treated. Treatments take only one
hour and make-up can be immediately re-applied if desired.
Who
is Microdermabrasion for?
Because
there is no 'down-time', Microdermabrasion is the ideal treatment for
busy professionals who cannot afford time away from work or people with
active lifestyles who do not wish to interfere with their day-to-day
activities.
Microdermabrasion
can also be used on dark skins that have been recommended against treatments
such as laser and various types of topical applications and sensitive
skins that react to cosmetic creams and make-up.
In
all, Microdermabrasion can be used to treat a wide range of skin imperfections
including fine lines and wrinkles, open pores and even to alliviate
the symptoms of Rosacea.
What
clients are saying.
Kim
has suffered from pigmentation since the birth of her daughter two years
ago:
"Before
starting with Microdermabrasion I tried several other ways to get rid
of my pigmentation, from fading creams to glycolic peels. Although they
made a little difference, the bulk of my pigmentation was still there
and because I have an olive skin I couldn't try any stronger applications
because I would risk actally making my pigmentation worse.
"After my first Microdermabrasion treatment my skin felt silky
smooth and it looked radiant. It was a little red and stingy for a day
or so but with make-up no one could tell. I saw the pigmentation start
improving after my second treatment. It started to break up. It didn't
look like one big patch any more."
Now
I've had five treatments and my pigmentation has improved about 80%
but my skin texture has improved 100%. I look in the mirror and I'm
happy with what I see. I'm finally confident with the way my skin looks
and feels."
How
do I get started?

Medicinal
Value of a Short Break - Just do it!
Surprise
your loved one with a 'secret' rendezvous. Chocolates can be eaten,
flowers can wilt ... but the memory of a weekend away with your loved
one can bolster you through the most boring board meeting ...
Of
course, it doesn't have to be a romantic getaway. Grab a pal and head
for the hills ... a little bit of R & R with a friend can be a sustaining
tonic. Or, if you are like me, grab the latest offering from John Grisham
or Wilbur Smith, and take off by yourself to a little hideaway ... a
couple of days by the pool with a book (OK, I do like to watch those
surfie boys go by) can do wonders for your stress levels.
Maximise
the value of your short break by booking, and paying, before you leave
home. Don't trust that your destination will have rooms available without
booking ...

can be done quickly and easily over the net with www.dingoescape.com.

New
plan for period pain
Researchers
at Auckland University have found that daily supplements of vitamin
B1 and magnesium could provide relief from painful periods for many
women. Their analysis, published in the Cochrane Review, revealed that
vitamin B1 and the mineral magnesium appeared to ease symptoms of dysmenorrhoea,
or painful periods.
Researchers
take nutrients to heart
At
a time when there are concerns over the safety of some cholesterol lowering
drugs, several new studies have emerged confirming the value of certain
nutritional supplements in the maintenance of cardiovascular health.
The British Journal of Nutrition reported recently that men with low
levels of lycopene, a nutrient found in tomatoes and some other fruits,
had a three times greater risk of acute coronary events or stroke. Meanwhile,
researchers in the U.S. and U.K. have shown that the B vitamin folate
can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. And the Journal
of the Association of Physicians in India trialed antioxidant vitamins
A, C and E, concluding that all three nutrients significantly decreased
the oxidation of fats in the bloodstream of coronary heart disease patients.
Ageing
population increases Alzheimer's incidence
A
sobering report the New England Journal of Medicine carries the news
that Alzheimer's disease is becoming more prevalent and that the disease
kills more quickly than previously thought. With our population ageing,
prevalence of Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple in the next 50 years.
The study also found that patients 84 years of age or older survive,
on average, only three years after first presenting symptoms to their
doctor. While the exact cause of Alzheimer's is unknown, some researchers
believe maintaining normal, healthy circulation can reduce the risk
of developing the disease.
Diabetes
risk dwindles with diet and exercise
In
the time it takes to watch the news, people at risk of adult-onset diabetes
can drastically cut their chance of developing the disease. That's the
message out of a report released by the U.S. Health and Human Services
Secretary. Combine thirty minutes of exercise (such as walking) daily
with a low-fat diet (less than 25 percent of calorific intake) and you
can lower the risk of adult-onset, or Type 2 diabetes, by 38 to 70 percent.
In a study involving 3,200 volunteers deemed to be at risk of developing
Type 2 diabetes, the researchers found that changes in diet and lifestyle
were more effective at potentially warding off the disease than an oral
diabetes drug.

Clean
up Australia: We all benefit!
From
the Cocos Islands to Darwin, Launceston to Katoomba, hundreds of thousands
of interested and community-minded people collect unsightly and polluting
rubbish from our fragile environments.
Today,
Clean Up Australia Day (CUADay) is firmly entrenched in the Australian
psyche. It is the largest community participation event in the country,
attracting more than 600,000 volunteers every year. An apolitical, non-profit
community effort, CUADay is an event in which everyone can participate.
In
the lead up to CUADay, people are asked to nominate sites they believe
need cleaning up. CUADay Committees, comprising citizens concerned about
their environment, then help co-ordinate the clean up of the site. Committees
are made up of volunteers and can be established by anyone wishing to
organise and oversee a clean up in their community.
