suming. A new recipe book rom SlimmingWorld that claims to help slimmers save timeand lose pounds shows just how quick andeasy healthy eating can be.

its easy to let something slip, and or lotso people thats cooking healthy mealsbecause they think its easier to pop a ready meal inthe microwave or order a takeaway.

In act, cooking healthily doesnt have to be a la-borious task and Slimming Worlds latest cookbookExtra Easy Meals in Minutes proves just that. Itsull o really simple and delicious recipes that youcan have on the table in 30 minutes or less, so evenater a really busy day youll still have time to whipup something tasty. And best o all theyre all super-slimming and wont cost the earth either.

Te brand new book contains more than 50 time-saving recipes that are also kind to the waistline.From amily suppers to speedy snacks and evendinner party dishes, the collection caters or all oc-casions so slimmers can too.

Powerul weight loss package

Julie says: Te recipes are really easy to ollow.Tey include dishes such as linguine with creamypesto, sticky 5-spice gammon and chick pea and

chilli cakes, and theyve all beencreated especially or Slimming Worlds amousFood Optimising eating plan, a healthy eatingprogramme or healthy appetites. Food Optimisingencourages slimmers to cook delicious dishes orthe whole amily based around everyday satisyingoods like ruit and vegetables, rice, pasta, potatoes,

sh and lean meat, so that they enjoy plenty o realood, never go hungry and still lose weight beauti-ully.

Tese delicious meals go rom ridge to east injust 30 minutes, showing just how fexible andsuccessul Food Optimising can be. When youcombine this with the inspiration, motivation andriendly support that members get at a SlimmingWorld group, thats a powerul weight loss packagethats hard to beat, says Julie.

Q. I want to start using a night cream, but I dont know what to look forin a product. Can you help?

A. You dont say how old you are and what your skin condition islike which is important in selecting the correct product, so I wouldrecommend you get a thorough skin analysis to ensure that you areselecting the correct product.

Night creams are no longer the thick, sticky heavy products that theyused to be and are more correctly labelled as treatment creams. Takea look at the right night cream for you on www.angelabartlett.co.ukon the newsletter page for selecting the appropriate product for yourskin type and condition.

The best night creams are light and easily absorbed andcontain a variety of active ingredients that can get to workon your skin while you sleep. Sleep plays an important partin your beauty regime, so dont just apply night cream butensure that you get a good nights sleep too as this is thetime that the body regenerates itself. Adding a few drops

of lavender oil to your pillow and sipping a chamomile teabefore bed can give you a relaxing nights sleep which willrepay you with

Q. I am getting married this month. Can you give me sometips on wedding makeup?

A. Congratulations! I would always recommend havinga professional makeup application for your weddingday as it will always look better and last longer than oneyou apply yourself. Be sure to have a trial run before theWedding day to be sure you get the effect you want.

If you want to do your own makeup, as most makeupartists will tell you, a waterproof mascara is a must.If you dont normally wear waterproof mascara testout several, well in advance, of your Big Day to ndone that you really like. Translucent powder is also amust have cosmetic to stop your skin looking greasyin photographs when a ash is used be sure to savesome for the Groom too!

A delicate blusher sparingly applied on the apple ofthe cheek will give a healthy glow and neutral, naturalshades are the best choice for eye shadow, no matter

what the colour scheme of your wedding. For furthertips on wedding make up application take a look at thenewsletter page at www.angelabartlett.co.uk
