Should the subject of death be discussed with children? Is there a good time and place to start?

Child180 120Death is a subject that children need to talk about and unfortunately that need is not being met.

I believe that children aged about 3 to 5, cannot really understand the meaning of death, unless they have been frightened by a thoughtless adult. Some have lost a grandparent or favorite pet, and my guess is that at about aged 9 or 10 they are more aware, that death comes to us all. When this occurs,there are few adults they can talk to. As soon as they are present during a discussion of a lost friend or relative the conversation 'dries up'.

WomanFrog180 120There is an old saying, attributed to Mark Twain, that if the first thing you do in the morning is to eat a live frog, you can be sure that it is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day.

Roadblock180 120Sometimes in life we get “stuck”. Either in our careers, relationships, or even just with an apparently simple task that we’ve been meaning to do for ages. Of course nothing stimulates like a deadline and for some people, this is just the way they like to work.

However, when the choices are more complex and consequences more serious and the delays are just compounding the issue, that’s when outside help can be the kick-start or motivation needed to get going again or even see things in a slightly different way and clear a slightly different path to move forward.

BodyImage180 120Just how far should we go?  With the increase of reality shows on our TV.  Young girls are  obsessed with how they look.

If you have a daughter and she appeared on Towie , Geordie Shores , Desperate Scousewives and All about Amy or Big fat Gipsys Wedding to name but a few how would you feel. Dont get me wrong how you present yourself is important but come on have you managed to watch a whole episode of one of these programmes without screaming at the TV screen!

The Importance of Wellbeing

TereziaEsztergomiBackgroundWellbeing: exactly what does it mean to you?

After a stressful working day it is easy to forget your own wellbeing, especially when you are taking care of your family or your children. The festive season can add an extra level of stress, for many people, with Christmas and extended family and friends to think about. Will we manage to surprise the kids and spread the magic of Christmas? Are we able to radiate love so that it fills up everyone's heart?

25WaysScarfI love scarves on other people but very rarely wear them myself.  When I try to wear one I always seem to end up with it draped ineffectually around my neck, and they never look as good on me as they do on other people. 

But I came across this video recently which I just had to share.
   

Get Fitter & Feel Good Inside & Out

Tape400_267 I would like to challenge you to take a moment to decide how you would like to look and feel in 6 months time ….got it?  Now, have the courage to write down what you want to look and feel like, & how you are going to achieve this - step by step.  Then tell two people who will help support you achieve this, because when you write things down, and tell people you are much more likely to reach your goals and you get the support of others – so I dare you to do it and allow yourself to shine!
   

Black Swan – Inside Out

BSwan400_267 Black Swan is a dark, provocative, complex and compelling. It is a film that explores the life of a successful ballerina – Nina (Natalie Portman), with the pressures of audition and gaining a lead role in production of Black Swan. It has the nerve to take the viewer to uncomfortable places, often left unspoken in reality – touching on eating disorders and self harming. Highlighting the modern pressures and media influence within society, combined with the ideal to be ‘perfect’.
   

Accessorise, Accessorise, Accessorise!

NicoleDavis148Accessories can make or break an outfit.  Generally, the plainer the clothes, the more fun you can have with accessories. The right accessories can not only instantly update an outfit but also add a “pop” of colour. If you’ve already had a Colour Analysis, you will know what colours suit you best but you will probably have found that there are items in your wardrobe which are the “wrong” colours but which you would still like to be able to wear. Adding a scarf or necklace in one of your best colours, makes these clothes instantly more flattering.

 

   

Finding Your Perfect Jeans

NicoleDavis148Most of us have a favourite pair of jeans that we wear time and again, but if we’re honest we probably also have quite a number of other pairs which we never wear because they’re just not quite right. Shopping for new jeans can be time-consuming, frustrating and sometimes demoralising but is certainly worth the effort. Very much a wardrobe staple, jeans can be worn for all sorts of occasions and never go out of style. The right pair of jeans can do wonders for your bottom and legs but the wrong ones can make you look dumpy and shapeless.
