Mel B Hits UK TV Screens - Bye bye baby weight… hello hot mama!
Mel B joined the JENNY CRAIG Programme in Australia,– where the ad campaign originally launched, where she was working as a judge on X-Factor. Now, Mel has already passed the halfway mark to her goal and there’s no stopping her!
“I am so excited I’ve passed my halfway. My humps and bumps are still there but they’re a little bit smaller and I’m loving it“ Mel B said.
“Being halfway on my weight loss journey means I’m happier and healthier. I still don’t get much sleep at night thanks to Madison, but with my new found energy I’m able to be a better mother.
Mel B is fronting JENNY CRAIG’s latest campaign with huge success, appealing to mothers to invest in themselves.
“Like all mums, I sometimes feel a little guilty taking time out for myself. But this is about my health. I think mums are the centre of their universe, so it’s just something I just had to do,” says Mel B.
In true Mel B fashion, she also had a more personal reward for when she finally reached her goal weight. “I cannot wait until I reach my goal weight – I can, not, WAIT! I’m gonna get my ‘thong on’!! Woot Woot!”
Mel B acknowledges JENNY CRAIG’s 30 years experience as leading weight management experts and providing a support system second-to-none with individual consultants and tailored eating plans.
“Let’s face it, it’s really hard to lose weight by yourself…I hate diets - they don’t work, they’re confusing. JENNY CRAIG is not a diet, it’s a healthy eating plan that makes losing weight easy. I get everything figured out for me and I get supported every single week by my own consultant. I get my breakfast, lunch, and dinner already set, already planned, and my snacks. Brilliant!'” said Mel B.

On Your Marks... Get Set... GO!
More reasons to celebrate...
Proud to be British
Nancy Dee was founded in 2008 by sisters Tamsin and Seraphina Davis. Every Nancy Dee piece is designed in Seraphina's studio in North London and made in two small factories in the Midlands.
True limited edition pieces
Nancy Dee's prints are uniquely designed for the brand by the sisters, and a limited quantity of each style is made, so each piece is that bit more special for the wearer.
High-performance fabrics naturally...
Their premium fabrics - organic cotton, bamboo and Modal - are wonderfully soft against the skin, drape beautifully, are from sustainable sources and grown naturally.
It's a family business, Nancy Dee was created in 2008 by sisters Tamsin and Seraphina Davis. With backgrounds in Film and Social Policy (Tamsin) and Fashion Design (Seraphina), they share a desire to create wearable stylish pieces that provide a real ethical and sustainable alternative to mainstream fast fashion. The company is gaining a loyal following as more and more people discover that an alternative is possible.
Nancy Dee's manifesto:
Sustainability begins at the design stage. Nancy Dee dresses are not one-season wonders but are designed to be long-wearing, versatile and much-loved pieces. Made in jersey, they can be dressed up for evening ('day-to-night') and adapted to work with seasonal trends. Whilst longevity is key, our designs remain relevant and we have been featured in consecutive seasons in the Drapers future trend catwalk shows at the PURE exhibition in London, and our styles are listed on the Mudpie.com trend forecasting website.
Their materials - organic cotton, soya bean, bamboo, linen and silk - are made from fibres extracted from renewable sources, which means that they are grown naturally, the land can be re-used after each harvest, and unlike synthetic materials they are fully biodegradable.
Made In Britain. By manufacturing in the UK they can be confident of quality, of working conditions, and of helping to preserve the specialist skills that we have here in Britain.
Unique design. All of the clothes they make and all of the prints they use are designed exclusively by Nancy Dee. The production process - from sourcing the yarn through to the finished piece - can take up to a year, and as hey produce a set quantity of each style, limited editions are guaranteed.
If you would like any more information or have any questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Sensuous Sugar Scrub - £19.95 - 245g
A luxury exfoliating scrub for all skin types.
This certified organic scrub contains luxuriously blended pure cane sugar crystals, fairly traded Shea Butter and other precious skin-softening plant oils. A deluxe body exfoliator that gently cushions the skin whilst it polishes to remove dead skin cells leaving it super soft and glowing. Skin is drenched in the beautifully scent of uplifting, fairly traded Lemongrass and Rosemary oil. 96.5% organic.
Step. 2 - For a sun kissed glow.....
A healthy glow can do wonders for your confidence, try Green People's quick drying, non streaking Self Tan Lotion for the ultimate sun kissed glow.
Self Tan Lotion - £17.95 - 200ml
A quick drying, non-streaky lotion.
Non-streaky, sweet-smelling and quite possibly the best Self Tan Ever! It's fast (absorbs within minutes, tans within hours), flexible (face, body and all skin types), and fragrant (rosehip, sandalwood and geranium). When applied DHA, derived from sugar, reacts with Amino Acids in the outer layer of the skin to form brown pigments that give the appearance of a natural suntan. It is quick drying and non greasy with a natural looking tan appearing within 2-3 hours. Certified Organic. 89.58% organic.
Step. 3 - The protection factor....
Stay safe in the sun with Green People's range of natural and organic sun lotions. With 84% organic ingredients, Green People sun lotions contain effective natural broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection, as well as natural antioxidants and skin vitamins A, C and E to help supprt the skin's immune system and prevent premature aging.

Sun Lotion SPF15 with natural sun tan accelerator - £17.95 - 200ml
Faster Tan - Faster Protection - Longer Lasting Tan
This Organic SPF15 sun lotion has a naturally derived ingredient which works to speed up your body's ability to tan. The key active ingredient Inositol is a naturally occurring nutrient derived from the fruits of the Carob tree which acts as a stimulant for the formation of melanin. Trials have shown that the speed of tanning increases by over 24% compared to placebo, the intensity or depth of suntan increases by over 28%, and when used after obtaining a tan, reduces the tan-fading rate by almost 50%. 82.25% organic.
No Scent Sun Lotion SPF25 - £17.95 - 200ml
Fragrance free sun protection for sensitive skin.
This water resistant organic sun lotion offers broad spectrum UVA & UVB protection with antioxidants and skin vitamins A, C & E (Green tea, Olive, Avocado and Rosemary extract) to help support the skin's immune system and protect against cell damage.

Step. 4 - Smooth and Soothe
After Sun Lotion - £11.95 - 200ml
Cools skin and prolongs your tan
A cooling and moisture binding after sun lotion to smooth, soothe and pamper the skin, helping to maintain your tan and minimize peeling.

ghd help you get the Kate Middleton look
To honour the nation’s favourite Princess on her 30th birthday (9th January), ghd Creative Director and Session Stylist, Kenna, tells us how to achieve Kate Middleton’s luscious locks. The hair of the moment is, without a doubt, the big and bouncy blow dry.
Using the power of the brand new ghd air hairdryer, follow Kenna’s six simple steps below to help you recreate the Duchess’s effortlessly stylish signature look.
Today's blow dry isn't about flat lengths scooped under at the ends, the style is big, loose and sexy hair with movement, volume and shine." ghd Creative Director, Kenna.
GET THE LOOK:
1. To begin, towel dry hair leaving in as much moisture as possible.
2. Apply ghd Style Root Lift Spray from roots down and ghd Style Total Volume Foam from tips up for a big bouncy blow-dry style. You will want to start by drying the roots to activate the Root Lift Spray; this product is great for the whole length of the hair because it adds texture.
3. Flip your head upside down and continue drying with your fingers, keeping your ghd air on low speed and low heat—let gravity help you build volume.
4. Once your hair is close to dry, turn up the heat on the ghd air and flip your head back up, continuing now with a ghd Ceramic Radial Brush. I like a soft no-parting look so really work the brush around the head, starting from the front, in all directions. When using a radial brush keep turning it back away from the face as you pull up from the roots. Keep the ghd air nozzle close and move your hair around both the underside and the top of the brush.
5. Make use of the cool shot button on ghd air to fix the style, bringing a cool shot of air over the hair as you dry with the radial brush will fix it in place. Once the hair is completely dry and volume perfected, a blast of cold underneath the style will give it a tousled look.
6. To complete the look use the ghd Style Final Fix Spray to give hold and shape to your volume.
All ghd products are available in the finest salons and at www.ghdhair.com
ghd air RRP £99
ghd Style RRP £10-£15
ghd brushes £7.50-£20

Burton reveals spring/summer 2012 trends
Catering for cheeky chappies hitting the festival circuit hard as well as those Mod men addicted to tailoring, this season Burton focuses its trends to add a breath of fresh air to customer's new wardrobes.
Tailoring and formalwear takes inspiration from the Mod movement as Burton's Mod Men trend comes into its own but adds a 'laddy' twist. Focusing on slim and tailored fit suits, the trend for spring summer is sharp and clean and uses tonics and sheen to add a lustrous finish on suit fabrics.
Shirts are clean with considered details and new collar shapes while the trousers become that little bit narrower. Key pieces include the single breasted, notch lapel, tonic, slim fit suit in a rich blue that is sure to break a few bridesmaids hearts come the summer wedding season.
The new Modern Heritage trend takes inspiration from Savile Row and Jermyn Street but gives a modern twist through up to date cut and detailing. The heritage influence can be found in the use of fabrics, with the Prince of Wales check arriving in a grey 3 piece that wouldn't look out of place on the lawn at Brideshead.
Spring also sees the introduction of City Trekker, a trend that has nautical and sporty influences and creates a pared down way of dressing. Statements are made through colour blocking and combine fresh and bright tones alongside stones and navy blues.
This transitional trend has been inspired by city living and draws on the growing desire within urban landscapes for outdoor pursuits such as trekking and cycling. Key pieces include the anorak or utility inspired outerwear in bright colours, sweatshirts, chambray shirts, colour block tees, slim leg laundered chinos, Jack Purcel inspired plimsolls and coloured stripe tees.
Moving into summer, the Summer Trekker uses colour in abundance. This trend comprises of both casual and beach dressing and mixing this trend with neutrals and whites can make it more accessible as the loud colour pops are not for the faint hearted.
Key pieces include large scale striped tees and polos as well as geometric graphic tees, bleached out chambray shirts, bright coloured chinos and chino shorts, fresh short sleeve linen shirts and the coloured boat shoe.
Also available for summer is the new Festival trend from Burton, creating comfortable dressing that is easy to wear. Laundered finishes and garment dying, as well as warm and sun bleached colours, make this trend the epitome of laid back cool. Loose fitting vests, ethnic patterned tees, vintage cargo shorts, bleach wash twist denim jeans and slub check shirts create a look that is layered and earthy.
Men's accessories are also key, with lightweight scarfs and straw trilbies being the festival fail safe while lace up espadrilles and leather sandals are perfect for those days when no wellies are required.

Cyprus will be the wedding venue for Summer 2012
The team at Perfect Weddings Abroad are celebrating their recent win at the British Travel Awards with an exclusive offer - “Chase the Bride 2012”. Perfect Weddings Abroad picked up the prize for the Best Specialist Weddings Abroad and Honeymoons Operator, at the glitzy awards dinner in Battersea Park, London; after enjoying its busiest ever summer of weddings worldwide.
Weddings abroad are once again tipped to grow in popularity during 2012, as a cheaper alternative to marrying in the UK, a sign of the times. Cyprus is renowned for the numbers of British wedding couples that it attracts to its shores each year, and hotels on the island have been getting increasingly innovative in the way that they attract couples planning to tie the knot. Perfect Weddings Abroad has teamed up with Constantinou Bros Hotels in Cyprus, to offer wedding couples the opportunity of a free holiday when getting married in Cyprus this summer.
Perfect Weddings Abroad has a network of UK-based weddings abroad specialists to compliment their growing range of professional wedding coordinators worldwide. For couples looking to get married abroad they speak to a destination specialist in the UK who can discuss the most suitable wedding venues with the couple, before the couple liaises with the company's in-resort specialists who plan the wedding details in advance of the couple's arrival. Cyprus is the company's biggest selling wedding destination.
The Athena Beach Hotel is one of Paphos' most popular wedding hotels. The property features two beachside wedding locations, the Adonis Garden Venue and the Persefoni Gazebo Venue. Both locations look out to the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and provide a stunning back drop for wedding photos. In addition to this, the hotel is situated directly on the beach and is blessed with one of the best sunsets that the island of Cyprus has to offer.
Chase the Bride 2012 offers wedding couples the opportunity of getting married in Cyprus and receive free flights, transfers and a stay in return for 10 guest rooms being booked through Perfect Weddings Abroad.
As 2012 is a leap year, it means that there is the special leap day on the 29th February, when traditions are broken, and females propose. Perfect Weddings Abroad, Marketing Director, Danny Waine explained, “so many couples get engaged over the Christmas and New Year period and book their wedding abroad in the early part of the year, it made sense to launch the offer now. I guess leaving the offer open until the 29th February gives brides the option of booking their wedding, holiday and all of the wedding guests, before she has even proposed to her husband to be!”

Happy 35th Birthday To Us! And The 'King Of Colour' Has Done It Again...
Daniel Galvin OBE is renowned for being the ‘King of Colour’. During the 1960s he invented ‘Crazy Colour’, he modernised the highlighting industry with his ‘Brickwork’ technique and throughout the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st has been continually developing his art by coming up with new, innovative ways of creating the perfect hair colour.
2012 marks 35 years of business for Daniel Galvin and his Marylebone salon and to celebrate this, Daniel has launched a revolutionary new way of colouring the hair. Our new exciting technique is called Finger Painting by Daniel Galvin and is a free-flowing, effortless look produced by gradually coaxing and teasing the colour through the middle to the tips of the hair with the fingers rather than applying the colour using combs and brushes and baking it in foils.
Using a specially prepared formula Daniel lifts the colour that already lies within the natural pigment of the hair, producing a hue that is a few shades lighter than the original and thus delivering a soft, uncontrived effect. Similarly, the finger weaving produces a gentle, more unaffected appearance, avoiding harsh, angular foil lines.
Daniel is thrilled to once again bring a new colouring procedure to the industry: “My key professional aim is to ‘Enhance Natural Beauty’ and I feel that this technique perfectly demonstrates that philosophy. This is such an ideal method for me – by using my hands I’m really getting in touch with my canvas and forcing to the surface that inner natural beauty.”
