Serious de-stressing

26/03/13
In times of crisis, head for the spa says ALIX NORMAN with a bubble massage in her sights For most of the last week I’ve been glued to the television, wondering what the future holds. Saturday was spent in shock. Sunday in disbelief. Monday in tense anticipation. Honestly, by Tuesday I’d had enough of the drama and in my own inimitable way, I decided to do something about it. No, I didn’t rush to the ATM and withdraw what little cash I had. I did what I always do in times of crisis... I went to the spa... Read on

Unravelling the secrets of your home

26/03/13
 Does your home serve and support you? EMILY MILLETT speaks to House Whisperer Christian Kyriacou about uncovering what your home is trying to say to you According to Christian Kyriacou, my living room “needs work”. But it’s not the bring-someone-in-to-give-it-a-lick-of-paint kind of work he’s referring too, because Cypriot born, UK-based Christian from his cosy looking home in suburban London is looking over my shoulder and into my chilly little living room in Engomi during a Skype conversation. Using the intuitive gifts of energy reading that he first remembers noticing as a four-year-old, he is reading the space behind me, and it seems that what he is seeing is not so good. ... Read on

A minute with Nina Sumarac Jablonsky Artist

20/03/13
Where do you live?I am Serbian-born painter living and working in Limassol for the past 14 years. I live with my husband.  Best childhood memory? Like a lot children, every summer holidays we went to the village. Every day my grandmother would pour water into a 1.5m metal pan making for us a small swimming pool. I used to sit in that pan so long my fingers and lips turned blue, imagining that I was at the sea. 20years later my wish came true. Most frequented restaurant and absolute favourite dish?I adore sushi. I love light and healthy food. For me it is important to try new restaurants. ... Read on

Eating well

20/03/13
A service in Nicosia will plan your meals and bring them to your door each day. ALIX NORMAN breaks with tradition and tries a week of healthy eating I have a distinctly unhealthy relationship with food. I know what I should be eating; I know a lot about nutrition. But I don’t have the time or, really, the inclination to cook myself healthy and balanced meals each day. I even chose my car on the premise that it had five cupholders: enough for a bottle of water, a mocha latte and three places to stash odds and ends. So when I heard about EatingWell I thought I just might have found the answer to my nutritional nightmares... Read on

The Dating Diaries part 3

By Maximillian 13/03/13
 The tell tale signs of fraudOn average about 100 ladies per month attempted one way or another to get in touch through the dating site. My ‘partner in crime’ John, much younger than I, was interested in it mainly because he saw solid potential for erotic adventure. I had got into it to see if real and unselfish love and companionship was possible. So we divided the task of selecting, choosing and contacting the ladies involved. It may sound like the average man’s dream, but it isn’t. It becomes routine, even boring very quickly. Occasionally certain developments lighten up the whole procedure. ... Read on
