What do the following have in common? 

• Eleven long years
• Copthorne Sports & Community Association
• The Copthorne Jubilee Pavilion
• Fridays 
• Big
• Market
• Spa retreat pamper days
• Health & Wellbeing
• Helen Reeves Nutrimetics

Eleven long years is the time taken by the Copthorne Sports & Community Association to achieve the urgent of aim of replacing the old, condemned pavilion that had been built over  50 years ago.

The Copthorne Sports & Community Association has been formed by gradual changes to the original Copthorne Sports Club, which became the Copthorne Sports Executive before merging into the Association a few years ago.   The CSCA is now a non-profit making company limited by guarantee with charity status.

The Copthorne Jubilee Pavilion is the beautiful new facility leased from Worth Parish Council by the CSCA.  With separate changing rooms, a fabulous hall, well equipped kitchen, separate entrance and guest toilet facilities, big car park, and the most beautiful views over the playing fields,  and Surrey countryside towards the North Downs and Gatwick Airport.

Now let’s talk about the next three items in one go:

Fridays?  Big?  Market, Spa Retreats, Health & Wellbeing?   Things to do in the community, with the ability to walk to them have been requested over the years.  Creating open-to-all events offering these seemed a sensible way to start.

The idea of the ‘Big Friday’ is offer a selection of themed stalls under one roof.  For example,

 the Spa Retreat pamper day offers treatments such as facials, manicures, pedicures, reflexology, Indian head massage, massage, jewellery, sports massage, hypnotherapy, coaching, colour analysis, skin care, make-up, reiki, shellac nails, feet treatments and more. Prices vary from £5 for shorter ‘taster’ treatments, or more for longer sessions.

The Market Day is a shopping day offering a variety of stalls such as plants, seedlings, garden ornaments, jewelry, planted pots + containers, cosmetics, scarves, book sale, and more.  veg & flower plants & plant containers, bird tables, boxes & bug boxes, garden ornaments, cupcakes, hand-made cards, cosmetics, jewellery, book sale, and more

On the Health & Wellbeing Day you can bring your back ache, shoulder pain, stress, general aches & pains, restricted movement, or wish to stay healthy as we have sports massage therapy, coaching, chiropractor, aromatherapy, reflexology, indian head massage, back & neck massage, overcoming fears coaching, nutrition,the WOW series, skin care problem solving and more ……

Each BIG Friday offers refreshments with a place to sit and chill out, so do pop in for half an hour, or stay for the day!  Free entrance, some free consultations or advice.   Stalls or therapies may change on the day.

Helen Reeves  of Nutrimetics organises the BIG Fridays to raise funds for The Copthorne Sports & Community Association to run the pavilion.

• Or would your skin just like a Spring Clean?

Refreshingly Beautiful has been designed to help you lift and throw away all of the concerns.  It is full of ideas so you can quickly combat all of your concerns and get on and enjoy life to the full again!  I aim to save you time and money with my hints and tips using this Nutrimetics brochure – Refreshingly Beautiful.  By clicking on this link you will get to the Ipaper quickly: http://tupperware.ipapercms.dk/Tupperware/NMI/UK/2012Specials/MarchSpecials/UKMarchSpecials/

The quickest antidote to greyness is a new lip colour,

• Do go to page 14 where the lipsticks are £10 each. 
• To intensify the colour as well as keep a good lip line use the lip pencil.
• To help the lipstick stay on longer, colour in lips with the pencil.  The wax in the lip pencil does this trick.

Easy and Effective Hand Care

• Repair dry or cracked cuticles, or split skin quickly with Nutri Rich Oil – great value at £24.50 for the 60mls pot – it lasts for ages!  Apply a small amount and massage in twice a day.
• Too expensive?  The use the superb Hand and Nail Treatment Crème on page 9 and massage into cuticles, hands and arms up and including your elbows.
• Did you know that your elbows show your true age?  However, by moisturising them regularly you may be able to disguise this!

Body TLC includes more hand care too

• Have you used the Hand & Body Polish yet?  WOW, it is so easy to use and instantly effective and in  a nice big pot giving you a lot of usage.  See page 8
• Spray with the Body Satin oil for intense moisturisation all over your body.
• The Vitamined Oil on page 9 is a fabulous multi-use product.  Use for an intense hair & scalp hot oil treatment, or just brush through before swimming to protect the hair.

Make up Eye contact on pages 10 + 11

• Easy trios = lots of colour combinations = easy application.
• TIP: Use one shade on its own in the morning, or perhaps you’d like two.  Then add the third for impact in the evening.
• Try the new brush, especially the foundation brush, and shaped eye brush + do ask me for my special tips for easy impact with these!
• Add lashes of new Waterproof mascara in black or stick with the regular Lash Impact in black or brown.

Sheer Tint is back on promotion see page 13

• With more offers there too.

And finally, the Ultimate and long lasting Anti Grey recipe

• On pages 2 and 3, the Facial Peel is a gently cream and easy to use while the Complexion Powder actively works on creating an even skin tone.  I am getting great results from it with comments on how healthy I am looking. 
• Back up these treatments with your daily ‘wash & go’ Botanicals, or ‘Clean & Fresh’ from the Heritage range.
• Clear and Hydrafinity feature on pages 6 + 7

Oooooops …. PS

• I love the all purpose Nutri Clean and the home fragrance oils on page 15.  So versatile!

As always, I am here if you want help or more ideas for skin care, or make up, do just contact me here or email me.  Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

A new product is being launched in the UK & Ireland by Nutrimetics to help refine the complexion.

There are many complexion complaints such as skin pigmentation which may come from a family tendency; being prone to freckles; congenital or sun abuse. 

Nowadays the scientific knowledge and high technology involved in skin care products means that can you treat it yourself and make it cosmetically acceptable.

However, always, check skin concerns with your Doctor first, particularly if the area is getting larger, darker, flakier or not healing.

Right, first let’s talk about the technical bit of how these things happen

Most of the pigment in the human skin is contained in keratinocytes in the basal layer (having been manufactured in melanocytes and transferred in melanosomes).  Constant exposure to UV rays stimulate the melanin production and over time the cells clump together creating larger, darker patches on the skin.   Seborrheic keratinosis, known as a senile wart, although it is not a wart, is where protein has clumped together; they can be burnt off, scratched off or just left to get bigger.

Now for the practical bit: using the Nutrimetics products

Complexion Refiner* cleanses, exfoliates and brightens the skin.  It is so easy to use, just sprinkle the powder into your palm and add water to make a paste which you massage gently into your face and throat before rinsing off.  Tone and moisturise as normal.  For gentle exfoliation just add more water, for intense exfoliation use less water.  Suitable for both males and females and all skin types.

How does it work and why is it so effective?

• It cleanses, exfoliates and brightens.
• Oat kernel meal, cleanses whilst respecting the skin’s delicacy
• Rice powder, exfoliates the skin gently or intensively as required
• Lotusine**, boosts skin radiance and protects against skin radicals.

This product works well with our ‘Pigmentation Pack’

This is a three month treatment using the Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Serum + Bright & Beautiful Serum + SPF 18 Day Lotion to protect against the UV rays.  This treatment exfoliates the upper cells, works on the cross fibres in lower cells and strengthens the epidermis thus rebuilding the foundations of a younger looking, healthy skin.

  Snow, wind and rain take their toll on British and Irish skins.

Is there a quick fix?  Yes, switch to an oil based moisturiser.

BUT check they do not contain mineral or petroleum oils as these tend to lie on the skin, are not absorbed, can draw the moisture out of the skin as well as clogging it.

Aromatherapy research shows that there is evidence that carrier oils rich in bonded essential fatty acids to bring benefits where the skin is dry, however

• Further research continues to show that oils interact with the skin very well. 
• The skin produces its own oil (sebum), so it recognises and responds well to other oils, making them very effective at rebalancing the skin and treating dryness, lines, dehydration or even oiliness. 
• Every oil has its own unique properties.
• Plant oils are light and easily absorbed by the skin, therefore not leaving it feeling greasy and clogged. 
• Oils are packed full of vitamins, fatty acids and minerals.  Each oil has different properties and helps a multitude of skin problems from oiliness, acne, redness , eczema, dehydration and dryness.

For superb results, I suggest that you include oil based products throughout your entire routine.  Why?   When cleansing because oil attracts oil, therefore oil-based cleansers dissolve makeup and grime without drying the skin.  Toners can contain oils but must be alcohol free and able to pH balance the skin.

There are several good oil based products on the market at varying prices, but if you want  tried and trusted quality products at very reasonable prices then I suggest you contact me

   My Nutrimetics recommendations are:

NutriRich Oil EL – smooth, light and creamy.  Suitable for all skins including oily.

Nutri Rich Oil with 45% apricot oil, vitamin E, sesame, rice bran and cotton seed oils, for a really rich treat.

or for simplicity use the Vitamined Oil, a concentrated blend of soybean, safflower, wheat germ and avocado.

Bookings are the lifeblood of the beauty industry, whether they are 1-1 consultations or treatments, or workshops or parties.  Life is great when a continual flow of bookings happens, but what do you do when they slow down?  Or even dry up?

Nutrimetics run booking days which are a lot of fun!  They are based around contact – so phone in, text in or email, for every new booking the consultant will receive a prize draw ticket, so the more bookings she gets,  the more tickets she also gets.  The prize draw is always the next day, and of course a full diary means meeting new customers, new account holders and new consultants. 

We have one today, Monday 6th February!  And it’s definitely available in West Sussex, Surrey, Leicester and Ireland.  If you live outside these areas, still contact me.

So, throw off the winter blues and get together with a few friends and book one of our pampering workshops in February to gain the best value of everything.  Would you like a Skin Fit Facial, or perhaps a special Valentine or Leap Year make-over, or a Complete Body Workout?

Are you wondering what happens at a pampering workshop party?  You and your friends can relax and try the latest in skin care products, or try the classic make-up colours without any obligation.  The workshops are free.

Will you gain anything?

• Yes, the new Nutrimetics hostess thank you programme gives you a choice of beauty products free.

What do your friends get?

• A chance to socialise and relax with their own special pampering using naturally enriched products.  There is lots of information and special deals too.

How do you join in the booking day?  It is so easy!  Just contact your Nutrimetics consultant today and get a date from her.  If you do not have a consultant then contact me, or leave a comment below.

Be beautiful naturally

• Botox uses botulin toxin to relax muscle contraction by blocking nerve impulses
• What goes in must come out!  Toxins exit the body via the liver
• When muscles are not used they become slack – long term effect = face sags more
• However, read on and see how you can have beauty without surgery

Work with what you have:

• Your own face, your own muscles, your own skin care routine
• You can boost this with just 3 extra ultra-care skin products to get you through the winter months, or try one of the products for one month – you will still see and feel a difference.

My Top Tip for a mini face lift:  go OOH-AAH  3x slowly, then 3x quickly,  all 3x daily

This is so easy and quick to do!

Using the current Nutrimetics ‘Skin Fit’ brochure, I have designed one and two month programmes for you, using + explaining the specialised products on page 5, so do contact me for a free, no obligation consultation to discover the best programme for you.

Do you think this will be a treat, a necessity or a luxury?    

This depends on your circumstances, but just a thought on a comparison basis all 3 products will cost £64.40 giving a good 2 month treatment.  This is potentially cheaper than one specialised product of other brands or one non-surgical facial.

Special offer for January + February:

• FREE ‘Skin Fit Facial Workout’ parties* include Facial Exercises – fun, effective + easy to do!
• Or book your FREE 1-1 Nutrimetics consultation with me

2011 finished on a high

with the best sales in November and December.  2012 has a powerful start with three great people promotions, namely, Frances McLoughlin achieving Group Sales Leader and producing Linda Feaney as Sales Leader, with Caroline Walsh automatically reaching Executive Sales Leader.  So, huge congratulations go to the Irish Team.

Nutrimetics UK & Ireland launched the 2013 seminar location

which will be in Sorrento, Italy.  There is a slight change in the qualification period this year, it is running from January 1^st to December 31^st 2012 so Group Sales Leaders and above are in a good position to get there.  Having had a fabulous week in Sorrento last October with my husband, I know that this is a super setting for a Nutrimetics seminar and well worth getting on.

By focussing on and consistently working the business model of 2+2+2, a solid business with Nutrimetics is easily built.  The formula stands for holding 2 workshop / parties a week, booking 2 more from each, and bringing in 2 working consultants per month.

My training system is Seven Steps to a Successful Nutrimetics business

and is very easy to follow.  The training is free for consultants and to get the best results I recommend weekly coaching & training for the first 6 weeks to get the skills in place.  My proven Tool kits back up each of the seven steps, and you will find them incredibly easy to teach on to your new consultants.

How to get started?  It’s easy, just contact me via my website or leave a comment below.  The start-up costs are incredibly low – £95 will open your account and give you the Beauty Kit (over £250 of skin care products).  This is all you need to start your Skin Care Workshops and see your earnings coming in.

Helen Reeves prides herself on providing a flexible and fun atmosphere in which to work.  The flexibility can fit around your family, a full or part time job, or just your own lifestyle.

Are you interested or know someone who would love all of this?

The Party Season is with us, so have you worn your new dress yet, or is your big event (s) still to come?

Are you a lucky person who has hours to get ready, or have you got to rush from work, sort the family and then try and find 5 minutes to get yourself ready?  I have written some tried and trusted tips especially for you, for both before and after the parties.

Top Make-up tips to look your best in seconds:

• Stay with your tried and trusted basic make-up, but you can make adaptions! 
• Do not experiment for a big occasion ie do not change your foundation or it may change on you!
• But DO add, a little more eye pencil – just make sure you blend it well in.
• You can add more colour to your eye make-up and another coat of mascara.
• A deeper coloured lipstick, or add a neutral lipgloss over your regular lipstick for added sheen.
• Make sure your blusher tones with your lipstick eg pink to pink, bronze or coral to browns and creams.
• Emphasize your cheek bones with blusher, then apply a light dusting of powder to blend in any sharp lines.
• Add a bit of sparkle or sheen to your eye shadow, or along the top of your cheeks.
• And dust some of this sparkle through your hair and across your décolletage.

 Nutrimetics has Marbleyes eyeshadows on offer at £12.95 in black, green and blue.  Easy to apply and give the perfect sparkle.   Try the Ultra Glam lightening lip gloss in berry, bronze, bare or blush.  They come with an eternal light and slim line mirror, so you can always apply the perfect pout.  £13.50

The Eye Definer Contouring Powders have shimmering pearl particles and soft, silky texture and the special applicator lets you contour, line and colour your eye lids with ease.  £12.50  Mascaras in blue, brown or charcoal are £11.50 each.

 Top Make-up Tips for a Quick Repair!

So the night was brilliant, but the morning after not quite so good!

• Concealer in either a stick or wand brush is the magic you need – apply lightly on the dark lines, blend and apply foundation to cover it.
• If your cheeks are still too red, use a green colour corrector to neutrify the redness.
• (See page 6 of the above brochure for these magic items!)
• Definitely apply powder to reduce any shine from your foundation – a matt look signals calmness.
• Apply a good coat or 2 of mascara, but not black – it is too harsh and will make the eyes look tired.
• Use a lighter colour lipstick, but not too pale.
• Eat a good breakfast and drink plenty of water so that your energy and hydration levels do not drop during the day after. 

 I wish you ….happy partying with best wishes from Helen and do contact me for information about Nutrimetics products or building a business of your own.       www.helen-reeves.co.uk/Contact

In Chinese medicine Ginger is used in any ailment where the body is not coping with moisture, or for example, caused by the UK damp winters.   Excess catarrh, diarrhoea, arthritis, rheumatism are all aggravated by damp conditions and the fiery properties of Ginger can help combat these.

For colds, ‘flu and stomach cramps drink a homemade infusion of hot water and sliced root ginger. 

For muscular cramps or fatigue, arthritis use a hot compress or massage with a diluted solution of ginger oil.

Ginger oil blends well with many other essential oils, in particular citrus oils such as lemon or orange.  Lemon and Orange oils are known amongst Aromatherapists as the ‘Sunshine’ Oils.  Break open an orange, and smell it!  The aroma is fresh and warming and can be the best anti-depressant or winter warmer that nature can provide.  The smell of lemon can focus the consciousness and clear the mind, it has a tonic effect on the circulatory system and blends well in massage oils …. with ginger.

Nutrimetics launched their exotic spice range this autumn, and it is available until the end of December.  ‘Ginger Fresh’ is enriched with energising ginger extract and a cocktail of citrus and spicy essential oils.  There are four products on sale either individually or in the Spice Set which gives a greater saving, each giving you a specialised body treatment whilst uplifting your mind.

• You can use the energising Shower Gel every day
• Have incredibly smooth skin with the energising, exfoliating Body Scrub 2 or 3 times a week
• Then either energise and nourish with the Body Oil spray (this is highly recommended as it soaks in so quickly)
• Or energise and hydrate with the Body Lotion.
• You can book a free ‘Winter Warmer’ workshop party to test and try these products (location permitting).

Eyebrows give expression and balance to your face. 

An angular (glamour) shape can define a round face, whilst the classic arched shape is very flattering for most people.  Faces with large eyes or a wide forehead will a rounded or soft template is best, and the low arched (subtle) works when the forehead is low or small. 

Mother Nature will already have laid the ground work to sculpt the brows with the face shape, so they may require grooming and definition but try not to alter their basic shape.   Only pluck stray hairs from under the brow, never above it and do not over pluck – you are likely to regret this at a later stage as the brow hair rarely seems to grow back to its original state.

You can use an eye pencil to emphasize your brows, just brush a soft pencil across the hair taking care not to create harsh pencil lines on the skin.

However, I really recommend the new WOW BROWS DIY eyebrow kit (see page 13)  from Nutrimetics to shape and define them.  It is so really simple and quick to use.   Just choose one of the 4 templates for the shaping, then add the wax, add the powder, apply the highlighter under the brow, it is this easy!

At recent events including my Nutrimetics cosmetic workshop parties I have demonstrated it on just one eye brow … and the result is always the same – “WOW”,  now do the other one please!  It’s a super product for all of you, and will also make a fabulous present for all age groups!   

If you would like to know how you can have a Wow Brow shaping lesson, or how you join my team of Nutrimetics consultants just contact me or leave a comment below
