Focus on self care over the winter months

By Jill O'Donoghue from Killarney Toning and Beauty Studio
Self-care is always important but even more so in the winter months.
Self-care allows you to tend to your physical and emotional needs so that you can be present and positive in your day-to-day life. This will help make you better, more motivated at work, more balanced and present in your everyday interactions with your family, children and friends. Small things like applying hand cream or having a bath can really help make you feel more grounded and balanced. A warm bath can help open the lungs and blood vessels, making it easier to breathe.
The winter months call for better care for your face and body. The dry cold air in the winter means that our skin can become more dehydrated, flaky and itchy. What better way to practice self-care than to take care of your skin. Take time each day to gently exfoliate or dry body brush which stimulates blood flow helping to warm up the body, keep the circulation flowing. Follow with a good moisturiser and serum.
It's a good idea to apply a face mask once a week to hydrate and build up the strength of our skin, especially after the age of 40.
It's a great idea to treat yourself to a salon treatment like a facial, massage or reflexology. Reflexology is covered by all health insurances, it's a really great treatment for balance, deep relaxation and grounding. For more information call Jill on 064 6632966.

A private developer has been given planning permission to build 249 new residential units at Upper Park Road.
The development, which will be built on a recently cleared site near An Post’s sorting office, will include a variety of properties from five-bed houses to single apartments, along with a crèche and over 500 car spaces and over 300 bike spaces.
The development has been welcomed by local councillor Martin Grady.
“Killarney has a massive housing shortage so this is very positive. It will retain young families in the area, stimulating economic growth,” he said. “After 17 years of different planning applications it’s finally coming to fruition.”

Residents in the Ballydribeen are living in fear as a result of increased anti-social behaviour in the estate.
Several serious incidents in the estate have resulted in several Garda visits in the last week.
Local councillor Martin Grady told the Killarney Advertiser that residents are “living in fear” as a result of very serious incidents in the last week alone.
One house in the estate was badly damaged when fire crackers were placed inside a letter box.
Another house had its windows smashed in over the weekend.
“It’s a major problem,” added Grady after meeting residents there earlier this week.
One of the most serious incidents occurred on Tuesday night.
A passing motorists had rocks thrown at his car while driving along the bypass whch is adjacent to the estate.
Taking to social media, local primary-school teacher Pádraig O’Sullivan posted:
“Travelling home tonight, at 11.05pm on the Killarney side of the bypass our car was hit by a rock – not a pebble – from the Ballydribben side , which hit the passenger door.
“It was centimetres away from hitting the window where my father, who is visually impaired, was sitting.
“This could have caused catastrophic permanent injury to him.
“The Killarney Garda were on the scene within three minutes.
“They can’t be patrolling the bypass all night.
“It comes down to parenting. You should know where your children are at this hour and be able to teach them what’s funny and what ruin a person’s life or cause a fatal crash.“
