Follow a weight loss programme that really works

Thu, Mar 29, 2012

We all know dieting just does not work. In fact dieting causes our bodies to go into starvation mode and work to store fat, not burn it. So not only are you hungry, fatigued, and irritated but your body is working harder to hang on to and store those pounds.

Replacement meals and diet shakes are not the solution either. When it comes to weight loss there are so many experts telling us about the next big thing, but the only way to lose weight is to take a healthy, consistent, approach, to start to get your metabolism back on track, get your body working properly and burning unwanted and unneeded fat. This is where SureSlim at Therapie Clinic comes in.

Lose two stone in ten weeks with diet, exercise, and metabolism correction

Thu, Mar 29, 2012

There are three keys to a genuine weight loss (real fat loss) plan — diet, exercise and metabolism correction. All three keys interconnect; one will not work without the other.

Let’s keep it casual…

Thu, Mar 22, 2012

Despite our internal craving for all things glam, there comes a time when we just want to keep it casual. Our style that is. But there is equilibrium where sparkly meets tracksuit and I call it “smart”. Typically at the weekends, we like to brush off the week, send the suit to the dry cleaners and don our Saturday finest, the most popular being jeans and a top. The definition of casual clothes has evolved over the last number of years as Ireland is now the home to some of the most renowned retailers, both indigenous and international. We can, without fail, style ourselves comfortably and affordably. I had the pleasure of interviewing British fashion legend, Gok Wan last week and we talked of Irish style in general and he thinks we got it sorted. So if Gok thinks we have style, how do we balance the chic with the comfy?

Combining comfort and style

Thu, Mar 22, 2012

Shoes are our guilty pleasure. They can finish off an outfit and flatter your shape. The rights shoes are as important as the right outfit. But above all they have to be comfortable. I have never met a woman that didn’t have a dilemma with her shoes at some point — sometimes you can’t walk in them, they hurt your feet, you don’t know what to wear them with, or they are not stylish enough. I spend a lot of my time on my feet, and after experimenting and looking around I was pleased to find shoes that suit me, are comfortable, and look great with my clothes. This week I want to focus on day shoes that combine style and comfort.
