  • Everyones heard of a capsulewardrobe that elusive chic and stylish holiday attire that fits in yourhandbag if you get it just right. Youknow the kind colourful kaftans; littleblack dresses that are beach wraps byday and smouldering man-magnetsby night: versatile thongs (were talking feet) and a push-up bikini thatdoubles as a peek-a-boo bra overevening drinks.

    If youre not careful the capsulewardrobe can prove just as elusive asthat perfectb e a c h - b a b ebody (tell me you didnt embark onthe cabbage andlentil detox dietpre-hols. However,there is somethingto be said forpacking creative-ly, and eliminatingpost-vacation ironing piles, to saynothing of hefty excess luggage fines.A few hints, therefore wouldnt goamiss...

    The first thing to do is to lay out everything you think you need. Get ridof half. You dont need it. Honest. Thenthink about what youre going to bedoing. Chilling on the beach, shopping, sightseeing, cafe lunches,romantic dinners... Start to think aboutwhat youll wear for each occasion.This is where capsule comes in keyitems that work in lots of settings.Choose a core colour that will teamup with neutral basics blacks, whitesand beiges (great with a tan), andkeep fabrics plain, so you can jazz

    them up with chunky jewellery, a widebelt or a colourful scarf.

    Here are some summertime basicsthat will stand you in good stead.

    Elegant white linen trousers. Lightand cool in hot sunshine, but easilydressed up with a bit of bling andheels. Go for a wide-legged style.

    Summer dress. Great for both daytime and evening wear, and easilydressed up or down with accessories.Choose a cotton jersey or crinkly viscose so you can wear it straight

    from your case.Versatile skirt.

    Can be teemedwith t-shirts or slinkycamisoles, and ismore stylish thanshorts.

    Crop trousers. Afashion essential

    Cotton t-shirts.Two or three plain

    t-shirts in your core colours will team upwith all your basics. If you like, swapone with a camisole or floaty top.

    Summer cardigan. A slinky wrap-around or v-neck cardie looksgreat over a dress or vest top when the temperature starts to drop.

    Swimsuit and sarong. Go for a classicone-piece and a bikini. Theyre smallenough to pack two!

    Embellished strappy sandals. Youcan get away with these on thebeach, and on nights out. Throw in apair of wedge sandals for added chic.

    Oops... better stop now. Weremeant to be thinking capsule!

    When you put exercise and nutrition togetherthen you are likely to seethe best results from your

    body. If youre just eating the healthythings for your body, then yes you willlose some weight but that wont be theto help you look better.

    If your goal is losing weight, find themost realistic way for you and yourlifestyle and make sure you combineexercise with it. The foodyou eat depends on theamount of weight loss youwill achieve, but theamount of exercise youdo will be what makesyou look and feel good.The exercise must suit you,your lifestyle and whatyoure eating. Yourbehaviour and the wayyou look at life will be the real turningpoint for whether you achieve yourchosen goal, or not.

    For the nutrition side of things, thinkabout trying to do a food dairy. Thismeans you will become accountablefor everything you eat and are less likely to eat as much of the bad stuff!Its a very useful method for helping youcut back on the things our body actually doesnt need. It will make youaware of what you are eating duringthe day, and if it is at the right times ofthe day. Timing is important, the earlyyou eat, and the early your body willstart working. The later you eat, the lesslikely it is your body is able to do anything with the food. This is becauseour bodies will be tired and just store

    food instead, as it needs its rest! You might find looking at your food

    dairy after a few days, that all you arelacking is a few vital things, like dairies;white meat and vegetables. In which inthe long run, this makes you crave otherfoods, which could be high in fat orsugar. The average person should behaving about 4-5 servings of vegetablesa day, and 3-4 servings of meat and fisha day. People usually are not eatingenough vegetables and they are a very

    important sources nutrientsand vitamins.

    While sorting out yournutrition you must take intoaccount factors like yourlifestyle, age, occupationand amount of exerciseyou are getting. This all hasin impact on what we eatand how much we needof it. Your body will get

    used to your new eating patterns andwill cope with the changes well.

    On to exercise. You must try to introduce both cardiovascular exercisesand some sort of resistance-based|exercise, or weight training like aweighted deadlift or weighted squat. Ifyou include some resistance training everyday, it will help to tighten and firmthe muscles of your body, and maintainweight loss. This will of course, increaseyour over all fitness. This will help yourbody internally and externally. Exerciseis one of the best ways to remain asyoung as you can and feel good at thesame time.

    CALL 07564525351 for personal trainingand nutrition guidance.

  • If you are making your Will and have children you should be thinking aboutwho you would want to look after themand at what age you would want them tobe able to spend their inheritance withoutanyone making decisions for them. Executors

    Your Executors are responsible for carryingout the terms of your Will and will collect inyour assets, discharge any liabilities and taxand pay any legacies. What is left will beheld by them as Trustees for your children(or other beneficiaries). The Trustees areusually the same people as your Executors,although they do not need to be. GuardiansThese are the people who will make decisions concerning your children who areunder 18. You can choose as manyGuardians as you wish, although you shouldconsider the practicalities of more than twoGuardians.

    It is a good idea to have differentExecutors to Guardians as the Guardianswill be looking after the children on a day today basis and will be aware of their needswhilst the Executors can make moredetached decisions concerning the application of the funds that they are hold-ing on their behalf. Inheritance Tax (IHT) on their InheritanceWhether there is additional IHT to pay willdepend on the age that you choose foryour children to inherit. Up until the age thatyou choose your Trustees will decide how touse the funds for them.

    If you choose 18 years there will be noadditional IHT charges other than the usualcharges which occur upon death.

    If you choose an age between 18 and 25,when payment is made and when the children inherit absolutely there can be exitcharges up to a maximum of 4.2% of thevalue above the nil rate band (currently325,000) at that time. If funds are left in

    trust for children beyond the age of 25 therecan be additional IHT charges such as 10-year anniversary charges and exit chargesup to a maximum of 6% of the excess.

    However, there are ways in which youcan mitigate ongoing charges to IHT on achildrens fund, which will also protect thefund should your child become bankrupt,divorce or die.

    If you think that 18 is too young to inherit alarge amount of money then you shouldconsider the tax implications of inheriting ata later age or providing for your estate tobe held on a more flexible trust, which maysave ongoing IHT charges on your childrensinheritance.

    FULLY INSURED

  • Building upon the success of the disabled people who became fit-ness instructors last year, the multiaward winning InstructAbility programme returns to Guildford, to offerdisabled people a FREE opportunity tobecome qualified fitness instructors, witha course starting in July at Surrey SportsPark.

    Since InstructAbility launched in 2011,one hundred people, with a wide rangeof impairments, including wheelchairusers, have qualified as gym instructors.

    Many of the instructors are part waythrough the programme, progressing tothe Level 3 Exercise and Disability qualification and undertaking industrywork placements. Those who havegraduated have contributed to morethan 10,000 hours of voluntary service inover forty different leisure facilitiesacross London and the South East. Notonly are they supporting other disabledpeople to get active but as much asfifty percent of graduates have alsogained employment.

    Sam James, 34 years old fromSwindon, joined the Surrey basedInstructAbility programme last year andhas been in demand as a fitness profes-sional ever since. Sam, who has cerebral palsy has been employed bySwindon and Wiltshire Borough Councilsto deliver exercise sessions and assist thehealth improvement team. After goingon to qualify as a Zumba and Boxerciseinstructor Sam is also now employed asa school physical disabilities outreachworker.

    Sam said, I wanted to help otherpeople to use the gym and show themthat it can help them to manage theirconditions and prevent them from getting worse. I love teaching disabledpeople Zumba as the fun music alwaysgets everyone moving. It is amazing todo something I love as a career.

    Another success story of theInstructAbility programme is that offather of four, Richard Claridge, who isregistered blind. Despite being an international goalball player, Richardstruggled to gain employment but hasnow been offered work at the ArenaLeisure Centre in Surrey.

    Arena Operation Manager, JonnyGosnell, said,

    Richard is clearly an excellent fitnessinstructor and really has great knowledge. Richard has worked veryclosely with the sales team with community outreach to encourageparticipation of those that wouldn't usually use the gym. Richards knowledge and caring approach hashelped members of the local community feel comfortable with coming to use the facilities at the ArenaLeisure Centre.

    The FREE programme, funded by SportEngland is open to unemployed, disabled people who are over sixteenyears old and have some gym userexperience. You can apply online atwww.aspire.org.uk. Call: 07917 822977or Email: [email protected] forfurther information.

    As we start to think about our summer holidays we should alsobe thinking about making sureour systems are backed up before wego away in the event of any issues onour return. While we are thinking ofbacking up we could take the opportunity to perform a clean up too.

    Your system creates logs, backupsand other data dumps in the background continually. These temporary files should be automaticallydeleted, but sometimes events conspireto cause them to hang around. If the pccrashes mid operation for e.g. each filehas to be read and catalogued so overtime as they accumulate they willdegrade a computers performance, aclean up gets rid of them. A routinecalled disc cleanup is a useful tool touse and this can be obtained from the

    start menu,Computer, rightclick, select properties andclick disc cleanup.You also have theability to defragment yourdisc This rewrites allyour files, which might have becomescattered across many different sectorson the disk and group them together bytype to improve performance.
