SUMMER ISN’T OVER YET – YOUR GUIDE TO SEPTEMBER SIZZLERS WITH NOVASOL
Whilst August signals the beginning of the end of summer for many, we think it’s time to start packing your bags, rather than packing it in. In Europe we are blessed with a number of destinations that deliver on toasty temperatures and blue skies long after summer has officially shut up shop. Here we give you three of our favourite Indian summer locations that don’t actually require you to sit on a flight for 10 hours. We’ve also teamed up with NOVASOL Holiday Homes to give you the best suggestions of where to stay from as little as £20 per person per night. Don’t believe us? Just watch.
SICILY – AVERAGE SEPTEMBER TEMPERATURES: 17-24°C
Sicily by no means gets sleepy when summer draws to a close, erupting (see what we did there?) with events ranging from food festivals to Jazz concerts and authentic village fairs. With slightly less scorchio temperatures, it’s even a better time to climb the eponymous Mount Etna. If your boots weren’t made for walking, however, there are plenty of lower altitude delights to sample. Head to the Sicily Food Festival in Cefalù on the 7th-10th for everything from soft-centred arancini to scoops of gelato in a brioche bun. Oh and don’t even get us started on the beaches.

ALGARVE – AVERAGE SEPTEMBER TEMPERATURES: 17-29°C
Just across the pond from Africa, it’s no wonder that southern Portugal radiates warmth well into September. With gorgeous stretches of powdery sand and effortlessly casual towns like Faro and Olhão thrown into the mix, a post-summer holiday is a cunning way to beat the crowds and capitalise on all that this popular region has to offer. Join the culinary celebrations at the Fisherman’s Festival in Albufeira (whatever you do, don’t miss specialties like razor clam rice and grilled sardines) or go island hopping around the Ria Formosa without needing to be too liberal with the sun cream.

DALMATIA – AVERAGE SEPTEMBER TEMPERATURES: 19-26°C
If you haven’t been to Croatia’s dazzling Dalmatian coast yet, you are missing out big time. It’s the stuff dreams are made of. Endless beguiling bays, rugged cliffs plunging into clear waters and deep pine forests make up just part of this hugely appealing destination. Dalmatia is not just for active adventurers and beach bunnies – culture vultures have been circling the region for decades now. Head to Dubrovnik in September for sword fighting displays in traditional costume, classical music performances, or feel jammy at the official festival of marmalades and preserves!

Now that the weather has started to cool down, the Autumn Glotime fashion police are hotting up and discovering that the new season is lurking just around the corner.
We know that the Royal Wedding has given the British fashion industry quite a boost as the World looked on and studied the look of legends as they stepped through the Palace doors to celebrate as Harry and Meghan tied the knot.
It could also be that Prince Charles now supports the British Fashion Council, that we are now seeing a return of both Tartan the Balmoral headscarf on our catwalk.

As well as the scarf, the headdress is also back – and we wonder if it is a kickback in recent controversy regarding the Burkha! But the balaclava and also the beret are both contenders this Autumn/Winter and if you are not a fan of the traditional headscarf you can’t go wrong with the multi-coloured wraps that are appearing in Accessorise.

If you want to be safer and follow a more classical line, then Everlane The Cashmere Scarf in Navy is a great investment.

If you have a secret Bet Lynch squirrelled away, then why don’t you bring her out for the colder climes and invest in one of these sumptuous animal print coats. You may shock the more feint hearted, but their loss is your gain, and you could win some great brownie points as you sweep into the board room a la Joan Collins or just appear in your local pub without going behind the bar to pull pints!

Many years ago when I was attending a spiritual healing retreat, a guru told me that if I had ‘plastic surgery’ the Goddess would not be happy.I have always remembered those words, and have watched carefully as more and more people have gone under the knife to look good. I have to admit that I have also considered this myself in spite of the warning as the years have progressed, but am fortunate to have inherited a very good skin and bone structure, but nonetheless felt it was time for a bit of enhancement.
I had also been contemplating a few areas of improvement, and so a few months ago began to investigate less invasive ways of doing so. So I started checking out my options and stumbled on the Deluxe Clinic. The Deluxe Clinic resides in the affluent area of Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire, often referred to as the ‘Hollywood of England’, mainly due to its celebrity inhabitants and easy proximity to Pinewood Studios.
My family moved to Gerrards Cross as their their film career was taking off in the seventies, and they had moved their ‘empire’ to Pinewood. So I am familiar with the fabulous energy of the village and the well-known faces, even though it has undergone changes over the years. So it was a delight to discover the Clinic with its expertise in Hifu which is a brilliant non-invasive laser face lift. Not only is it administered by well trained staff, but the clinic works with trained nurses and even the NHS with many of its techniques.
The tariffs of this revolutionary cosmetic surgery are also extremely competitive and are well below the prices of most London salons.I decided to check it out, and was warmly greeted by the owner, Simona Goci, who took the time and trouble to introduce me to the other members of her staff and spend time explaining the various treatments.The premises themselves are pristine and the treatment rooms tranquil and geared for the greater good of the client.
In spite of my reservations, Simona was completely reassuring but honest, and told me in great detail the areas of my face that she would recommend could be improved. She also gave me a number of options, but not once did I feel she was ‘selling’ to me.
After a lot of questions and considerations, I signed up to try the Hifu facelift. HIFU Face and Neck Lift (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) also known as Non-surgical Facelift has become one of the most sought after lifting treatments for face and neck. 3D SkinMed is a one-off treatment which will help you achieve tighter, firmer, lifted skin! It all sounds so easy, but believe me it was a major decision, especially for someone like me who had been warned not to interfere with nature’s bigger plan.
The procedure takes a couple of hours, and is virtually pain free. Simona herself is in charge of the Hifu and is an expert. She explains what she is doing at every stage, and I felt nurtured and in good hands.The effects take three months to reach their optimum level, as the skin has to readjust and tighten gradually over time. I was told I may not see an immediate difference but I did and friends and colleagues have remarked on how well and young I look, even after a few weeks.
I would certainly recommend anyone who has been considering having ‘work’ done to check out the Deluxe Clinic as their methods won’t make such a dent on your skin or your bank account. I would also recommend that wherever you live, this is a great place to check out, and is well worth the journey, even to make a special trip.
If unlike me you want to keep the treatment a secret, their staff are discreet and confidential. I am quite happy to recommend this to others who are in need but don’t want to go the invasive route, as it really does give a boost to both your skin and your confidence. I have also consulted my oracle, and feel that in spite of the advice of the guru, the Goddess is pleased with my decision, as it enhances her work in the first place, rather than reinventing it.
If you would like a free consultation call Deluxe Clinic on 01753 885777.
