No Lippy Boot Camp (as featured in Vogue magazine) is a ladies only health and fitness outdoor programme. As a personal trainer and athlete for 15 years I decided to set up No Lippy Boot Camp to offer women the chance to train outdoors and receive the amazing benefits that come with training in a group and outdoor environment.

Specialising in women’s training we ensure all participants receive great results; inch loss, weight loss, tone up, get fit, strong and gain confidence. We design and deliver sessions to burn as much fat as possible while having so much fun. We do obstacle courses, races, games, tyre running, circuits, weights, boxing, hill training, core training and more. We also offer a very healthy diet which gives great results.

“My aim is to give all women in the North East of England the opportunity to participate in a fun and rewarding programme that is flexible and affordable. Flexible sessions are available; early morning before work, morning after dropping the children off at school, evening after work and weekends. I have ensured that no matter what their family or work commitments are, they can participate.  I am a mother of two so I know how busy life can be! I also receive referrals from domestic abuse organisations as one of our goals is to help women become strong, confident and improve their self esteem”
Participants can buy 4 (£30), 8 (£60) or 12 (£79) session cards to use at any venue within a 5 week period. Alternatively participants can join the No Lippy Boot Camp 6 month membership; this card gives you unlimited access to any session, any venue, any time for only £55 per month (saving £24 per month).

“Everyday participants tell me that they have been going to the gym for years but never change shape, after 2 weeks at No Lippy Boot Camp they can already see a physical and mental change. With all female participants and instructors, women can feel at ease immediately.” Some women are losing as much as 20inches in 6 weeks!!

No Lippy Boot Camp is available at the following venues; Jarrow, Gateshead, Roker Beach, Chester le Street Riverside complex and Rickleton. Newcastle, Whickham, Wallsend, Tynemouth, Gosforth, Newburn, Blyth ,Ashington, Seaham, Peterlee and Durham opening in 2 months.

Decorating your wedding cake table is a matter of personal choice. Whilst many go for a traditional white cloth and cutting knife laid out for the cake, others may choose more extravagant ideas for example, laying rose petals around the cake.

You may want to consider the theme of your wedding when thinking about the cake table, so if you have a purple theme, you could use a purple cloth for underneath to match the other wedding decorations. (more…)

Traditionally,  most people choose to get married on a Saturday. It  is still the most popular day,  but more recently there has been an increasing trend to get married on a Friday, because the costs can be lower. You might be able to afford the venue of your dreams, upgrade from Cava to Champagne or afford some little luxuries,  just by careful consideration of  the day you choose.

These are the statistics for UK weddings in 2006:

It is worth considering some of the differences you will  find if you book a weekday or a Sunday.

Venues may offer reduced rates for midweek ceremonies if you are also booking accommodation.

Monday to Thursday, your guests may find it difficult to get time off work, and they will probably want to have a day to recover, especially if they have travelled a significant distance so you need to consider whether they will need overnight accommodation.

Churches have evening services on Wednesdays, so you may only have half the day available or time restrictions.

Your guests could come straight from work if you book the big day for a Friday, but they may need somewhere to change before the reception.

A Sunday wedding means that some of your guests may have work the next day and need to leave the reception early. You may need to fit your wedding service around the other service times on that day or other church functions.

Whatever day you choose there will be things to consider, but by weighing the pros and cons carefully you can choose and plan the perfect day for you and your partner.
