Alison Hughes founded Cream Cornwall in 2012 after discovering a shared passion for creating homeware products evocative of Cornwall that were tasteful, high quality and made in Britain.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.intouchrugby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/mm-615x345.png\")
<\/p>\n
After 14 years in Australia, Rebecca had returned to her native Cornwall. She knew that she wanted to create a brand that epitomised the beauty and diversity of the county and had begun to explore colours and designs for a paint and textile range. Allison had been working for many years as a trend forecaster for a well known design studio in London. It was after a visit to Cornwall to see family that she realised how fed up she was of her daily commute down the Old Kent Road and decided that she\u2019d much rather be driving through Cornish lanes. \u202fThis lead to a return to the Cornish coast a year later.<\/p>\n
With a shared vision agreed upon, the next challenge would be what to call their new venture. The pair went back and forth on a list of Cornish place names and associated words before one leapt off the page; Cream! It wasn\u2019t just a reference to the colour, the food they both love or being the \u201cbest of \u201c, but it\u2019s safe to say the infamous nightclub in Liverpool and Rebecca\u2019s crush on Eric Clapton in her teens also had a bearing on the choice of name!<\/p>\n
The pair were so excited when they got their first samples of mugs that they put them in Allison’s front window. When people started knocking on the door wanting to buy them, they knew they had created something people wanted. This led them to starting their initial online business, wholesaling to shops throughout the UK and overseas, before opening the business\u2019 first shop in Falmouth 2016. This was followed up in July 2018, when they opened in St Ives.<\/p>\n
In each beautiful product you\u2019ll find Cream Cornwall\u2019s distinct coastal identity – inspiration for which Rebecca and Allison find everywhere- and their shared background in textiles, design and trend forecasting affords the entire range a level of quality and attention to detail that keeps customers returning time and time again<\/p>\n

BOING and Myocarditis UK tie the knot ahead of Valentine\u2019s Day with a new partnership designed to raise awareness<\/p>\n
(Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom) Wednesday, 9th February 2022: Myocarditis UK and BOING have geared-up for one of the busiest days of the year, Valentine\u2019s Day, with a brand new partnership announcement. Importantly, the heart disease charity Myocarditis UK and British jewellery brand, BOING, have partnered to help raise awareness and drive fundraising efforts for the rare heart condition, myocarditis, which can cause the sudden death of young and fit people, if left untreated.
\nSince 2013, the Myocarditis UK charity has worked hard to create awareness for myocarditis both in the public eye and amongst medical professionals as, in many cases, the disease is treatable if diagnosed. Unfortunately, however, if left undiagnosed it can cause fatal heart attacks, especially in people who are particularly active. Myocarditis is responsible for the sudden of death one young adult per week in the UK. In adults, it affects 50% more men than woman and is the 32nd leading cause of Sudden Death worldwide.
\nAs a leading gift brand, BOING is constantly innovating to provide its audiences with unique gifts for every holiday \u2013 big or small. Valentine\u2019s Day is no exception as the brand taps into one of the top ways to show people you care with its high quality, unique and vibrant rope and leather bracelets and key fobs with silver and steel clasps, made using genuine climbing and sailing ropes. And BOING will be offering 10% off a selection of its bracelets and key fobs, while also donating 10% of these sales to the charity.2<\/p>\n
Head of Myocarditis UK Development and Fundraising, Sarah Baker, said: \u201cIt\u2019s so great to be launching this partnership with BOING, as much of the work we do with Myocarditis UK revolves around raising awareness for this little-known disease. Our goal is for both the public and the medical community to be informed about the symptoms and what questions to ask of their healthcare professionals.
\n\u201cWe are also passionate about raising the importance of heart screening and heart care amongst young athletes \u2013 especially those at semi -pro and pro level as implementing regular screening after athletes have taken time off for illnesses, especially viral illnesses, can help prevent as many tragic, fatal cases as possible. Partnerships like this are such a useful way to achieve this level of awareness.\u201d
\nFounder of BOING Jewellery, Kerry Harvey-Woodhead added: \u201cWe honoured to be partnering with Myocarditis UK to help amplify the charity and to bolster its fundraising efforts. It\u2019s such an important cause to be working towards, and as much of our customer base live highly active lifestyles, it\u2019s a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness with young, active people.\u201d
\nNot only will the partnership aim to help fundraise money for the vital research into the disease, but crucially, raise awareness among the public. This awareness is an essential part of Myocarditis UK\u2019s work, as the rare disease often presents as prolonged flu-like symptoms and will go undiagnosed and untreated in many cases.
\nThe difficulty in diagnoses lies in the way myocarditis often presents as something else, and the symptoms mimic other illnesses. Especially in young people, it presents as ongoing flu-like symptoms, fatigue, or even as anxiety. This makes it difficult for doctors to diagnose as in many cases, individuals are healthy, fit and regularly active.

VALEN-STAIN\u2019S DAY<\/p>\n
THE MOST ROMANTIC DAY OF THE YEAR IS FILTHIER THAN YOU\u2019D EXPECT<\/p>\n
As Valentine\u2019s Day fast approaches, Brits will be getting ready to celebrate the most romantic day of the year with their loved ones.<\/p>\n
Whether that\u2019s feeding each other chocolates, having breakfast in bed, or sharing a bottle of wine over a candlelit meal, love will truly be in the air.<\/p>\n
However, as people get lost in each other\u2019s eyes, their attention may be compromised, so accidental spills and stains in the home are often inevitable.<\/p>\n
So, to help the hopeless romantics out there, cleaning and laundry experts, Dr. Beckmann have identified the stains that are bound to occur this Valentine\u2019s Day weekend and how to ensure they don\u2019t turn a night of romance into an everlasting messy affair!<\/p>\n
TOP 10 VALEN-STAINS<\/p>\n
1. Body paint<\/p>\n
Valentine\u2019s Day may see couples\u2019 experiment with items such as body paint and massage oils. Whilst these products may be fun to use, the cleaning aftermath can often be a nightmare. If you end up with paint or oil on your carpet using a specific product, such as Dr. Beckmann\u2019s Carpet Stain Remover is the easiest way to eradicate the stain quickly.<\/p>\n
2. Lipstick<\/p>\n
Valentine\u2019s Day is the perfect day to pucker up and share a kiss with your loved one, so lipstick stains are inevitable. A make-up stain can be stubborn to remove, so act quickly and remove as much excess lipstick off the fabric as possible without smearing it further. Dab the stain with a warm, damp cloth and once this has been done apply a stain remover and this should do just the trick.<\/p>\n
3. Chocolate<\/p>\n
Chocolate is the go-to gift on Valentine\u2019s Day, however this sweet treat can soon turn sour when its smeared into the carpet or spilt on the sofa. Make sure to scrape any excess chocolate off the stain before treating and then blot the mark with a damp cloth. Finally apply a stain remover or detergent to the stain and scrub, scrub, scrub!<\/p>\n
4. Strawberries<\/p>\n
One of the most romantic fruits, but also one of the most troublesome if spilt! If it\u2019s dipped in chocolate or on its own, those pesky red stains are sure to make a bold appearance on your clothing. However, don\u2019t panic, make sure to flush the stain with cold water and apply Dr. Beckmann\u2019s Stain Devils \u2013 Fruit and Drink, allow to soak for around 15 minutes and then rinse.<\/p>\n
5. Coffee<\/p>\n
Having breakfast brought to you in bed is a lovely treat but be careful of coffee spills on your bed sheets. Tackle the stain as fast as possible by rinsing with cold water and then dab with a stain remover. Make sure to act quickly, as the longer you leave it the more difficult to remove.<\/p>\n
6. Fake tan<\/p>\n
We all want to look and feel our best, whether that\u2019s getting a new haircut or topping up on the fake tan. However, the bronzed look often comes with a cost – pesky orange stains on clothes and bedsheets. If you realise that your white fabrics are looking quite dull and discoloured, then Dr. Beckmann\u2019s Glowhite ULTRA is the perfect laundry whitener to get them gleaming again. Simply pop your items in the wash with the product and wait and see for the sparkling results.<\/p>\n
7. Red wine<\/p>\n
Sharing a bottle of red wine with a partner is an intimate occasion, however after a few glasses the night can quickly turn into a messy one and red wine stains can be difficult to get out of your carpets and upholstery furniture. If you have an unfortunate spillage, make sure you blot the alcohol with a cloth until the liquid is absorbed, then sponge with cold water. Dr. Beckmann\u2019s brand-new Upholstery Stain Remover is great to have in the cupboard ready and waiting to tackle those unfortunate spillages.<\/p>\n
8. Candle Wax<\/p>\n
Candles ooze romance and sets the mood for a picturesque evening, a candlelit dinner is the epitome of romance. If there is a spillage, allow the dripped wax to harden, then delicately scrape off excess wax with a blunt knife. Rub white vinegar using a damp cloth into the stain then leave to soak and keep your fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
9. Flowers<\/p>\n
The statement Valentine\u2019s item can leave a permanent stain on your clothes if not treated quickly. Blot the stained fabric with a damp cloth then prepare to wash the garment. Use a stain remover to help break apart the stain.<\/p>\n
10. Takeaway<\/p>\n
Eating in is the new going out, so if you\u2019re spending Valentines at home with a takeaway in front of the television, then a stain on your sofa is bound to occur. Greasy finger marks on fabrics can be an eyesore and a nightmare to remove, if you have any on your sofa cushions, work some detergent into the area and allow it to soak, then pop it into the washing machine and follow the material\u2019s washing care instructions.<\/p>\n
On the top tips to help tackle Valen-stains, Dr. Beckmann spokesperson, Susan Fermor said: \u201cRomance is truly in the air over Valentine\u2019s weekend, so no one wants to spoil their evening (or morning after) scrubbing stubborn stains, so we wanted to offer top tips to treat the spills quickly and efficiently, without any fuss. Follow our top tips to ensure your Valentine\u2019s Day stains are quickly forgotten about and your day goes from cleaning to beaming!\u201d<\/p>\n

MALE MENOPAUSE
\nTHE UNSPOKEN TABOO SUBJECT IN MEN\u2019S HEALTH<\/p>\n
HEALTH & WELL-BEING ENTREPRENEUR LAUNCHES
\nALPHAGENIX TO HELP IMPROVE AWARENESS AND TREATMENT FOR MEN\u2019S HORMONAL HEALTH<\/p>\n
One of the UK\u2019s leading health and well-being entrepreneurs is on a mission to educate British men about a taboo and unspoken subject in men\u2019s health, the \u2018andropause\u2019 also known as the male menopause.<\/p>\n
Ross Tomkins, Author, Investor, Entrepreneur and qualified Physiotherapist decided to set up Alphagenix to raise awareness and educate men about the andropause and how they could improve their hormonal health.<\/p>\n
Pop star Robbie Williams is probably the best-known celebrity case of low testosterone, after his wife, Ayda Field, revealed last year that when the singer had depression in his 30s, doctors found he had the testosterone levels of an 80-year-old man. TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), apparently, made an instant difference to his energy levels, giving him a \u201cnew lease of life\u201d.<\/p>\n
The andropause is the male equivalent of the female menopause, which we are much more familiar with. Testosterone is a vital component within the body that is often associated with libido and plays a vital role in sperm production. The production of testosterone starts in puberty and then peaks at around 30 in men and then begins to dip and decline. Left unchecked, low testosterone levels can weaken bones causing osteoporosis, reduce muscle mass, low mood, poor mental clarity, even the way men store fat in their body and red blood cell production can be adversely affected. Even more alarmingly, an article published in the Journal Of Endocrinology and Metabolism has linked low testosterone to an increased risk of death and another in The Journal of the American Medical Association linked low levels to an increased disease severity of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
For many years, this has been a taboo subject because of men\u2019s fear of being emasculated. At the core of the diagnosis is a low testosterone count, which leads to a wide range of symptoms, including low energy, reduced muscle mass or muscle weakness, poor focus, depression, obesity, insomnia, lack of libido, a lack of motivation and lowered self-confidence. Whilst the changing hormonal levels in women during the menopause are much more widely understood, accepted and treated, the andropause has become a subject that men don\u2019t understand or talk about, let alone seek treatment for. Alphagenix want to make the andropause as acceptable and talked about as men\u2019s mental health has now become.<\/p>\n
Co-founder Ross Tomkins was first diagnosed at the age of 32, after having encountered a number of symptoms that included aching joints, a complete lack of focus and brain-fog. His GP at the time suggested that perhaps his symptoms were \u2018all in his head\u2019, prompting Ross to search for a private physician with an interest in men\u2019s health. After a 60-minute consultation, Ross was diagnosed with low testosterone and an iodine deficiency. The diagnosis was confirmed by tests and Ross began his first Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and an iodine supplement. In a matter of days, Ross felt the huge benefits of his treatment, while the private physician made further lifestyle recommendations and changes, including a specific diet. Since his diagnosis 11 years ago, Ross has led a full and active life with a beautiful family \u2013 and is a highly successful entrepreneur, having started six companies, selling four of them and acquiring a further six companies.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Ross realised that he rarely shared his hormonal journey, which led him to think about how many other men were out there, not sharing their stories \u2013 or worse: not receiving the help they needed. He decided to set up Alphagenix with business partner Ben Paglia, who is the MD of AKEA Life, the UK\u2019s first five-star, fully private concierge doctor service.<\/p>\n
The core aim of Alphagenix is to raise awareness of the andropause; to educate men about what the male menopause is and its associated symptoms, and to debunk the myths around low testosterone levels in men. The ultimate aim is to help men get investigated, diagnosed and treated.<\/p>\n
Conscious of his own experiences with doctors and treatment, Ross wanted to create a unique, personalised and quality-led service with Alphagenix that not only provides education, investigation, diagnosis and treatment, but then ensures continual monitoring, with periodic blood tests and consultations. As someone with a 20-year career in the healthcare and well-being sector and who has been on the andropause\u2019 journey himself, he built the core foundations of Alphagenix on first-hand knowledge and personal experience.<\/p>\n
Alphagenix Co-Founder, Ross Tomkins, said:<\/p>\n
\u2018As someone who has experienced the andropause and been on this journey since I was first diagnosed, I felt it was really important for me to share my own experiences of my hormonal journey with other men and to raise awareness of this taboo subject. Much like mental health, men often don\u2019t discuss these topics, or they have a fear that by discussing the subject it will in some way emasculate them.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s really important that men educate themselves about the andropause and get themselves tested to check their hormone levels. The andropause can affect men in many different ways and impact on their performance at work, relationships and their general ability to function on a daily basis. Other factors can also contribute, such as a lack of exercise, poor diet, lack of sleep and drinking too much alcohol. As men, we need to take much greater care of our hormonal health and our general well-being.\u2019<\/p>\n
Meg Mathews, ex-wife of Oasis Star Noel Gallagher, has been one of the UK\u2019s foremost menopause campaigners and is a regular columnist for Stella Magazine. Meg was recently quoted on the subject as saying:<\/p>\n
\u2018The male menopause is no myth. I\u2019ve found men really struggle to open up about anything personal \u2013 there is a lot of embarrassment and denial about it. They may pluck up the courage to go and see the doctor, skirt around the subject and then leave without a diagnosis. By the time they feel ready to open up, the appointment time is over. Doctors can be quick to prescribe anti-depressants or Viagra without solving the emotional or physical symptoms. If more men opened up and talked about the andropause, the NHS would take it more seriously.\u2019<\/p>\n
Alphagenix has a team of private doctors provided by BMP Medical Ltd who are all UK-trained and registered with the General Medical Council (GMC). They continue to work in the NHS and private consulting. Alphagenix\u2019s services are registered and regulated by the Care Quality Commission in the UK.<\/p>\n
Clinical lead for Alphagenix is Dr Usman Sajjad, a GP with a special interest in sports exercise medicine, as well as the andropause. Having qualified as a doctor in 2014 from the University of Leeds and as a GP in 2020, Dr Sajjad has worked in top-level sports such as premier league football, rugby and professional boxing. He is currently employed as the personal doctor for several high-profile professional boxers, some of whom are current world champions.
\nHaving suffered personally from severe hypogonadism for a lot of 2020, Dr Sajjad understood how a low testosterone impacted physical and mental health. He also competed as a superheavyweight amateur boxer from 2010 to 2014.<\/p>\n
His personal experience and recovery motivated him to join Alphagenix to help other men who are suffering with similar issues. He is an academic member of the European Academy of Andrology and also runs his own \u2018The Doctor Uz Podcast\u2019, in which he touches on a wide variety of subjects and interviews notable guests.<\/p>\n

CONTEMPORARY WILLOW BEDROOM
\nBespoke bedroom furniture is also an attractive option for smaller rooms. Small spaces can be transformed into beautiful, open spaces with made-to-measure furniture. For instance, built-in overbed storage takes up minimal space and enables you to store your possessions in a practical and stylish way.<\/p>\n
An air of luxury can be easily added to the bedroom by incorporating headboard lighting, which adds a special, cosy feel to the room. The leading bespoke fitted furniture brand, Neville Johnson, can transform your bedroom into a luxury space designed to meet your needs, regardless of the room size.<\/p>\n
Contemporary Willow Bedroom<\/p>\n
Jamie Godfrey, Senior Design Consultant at Neville Johnson said: \u201cThe primary benefit of opting for built-in storage is that it is designed around your exact requirements and needs. If you go for a fitted wardrobe, for example, you can dictate the amount of hanging space, drawers, etc, as well as deciding where you would like it to be built in your home.\u201d<\/p>\n
With over 35 years\u2019 experience in creating bespoke bedrooms, Neville Johnson is a market-leader in the luxury fitted furniture industry. Offering free design visits and free design brochures, the brand\u2019s furniture renovations combine the flair of the UK\u2019s top designers with the time-honoured skills of traditional craftsmen, all brought together with your personal selection of materials, colours, and finishes.<\/p>\n

Combine Your Valentine Gifts with Your Dinner Selections<\/p>\n
If you are a woman that plans to prepare a Valentine\u2019s Day dinner for a spouse, fianc\u00e9 or boyfriend, then you might want to sneak some gifts into that same dinner. For more than 10 years, research has confirmed the data obtained from some preclinical studies.<\/p>\n
That data has shed light on the ideal foods for men that want to limit their chances for getting prostate cancer. It has revealed what foods do the best job of slowing the rate at which prostate cancer cells manage to produce the tell-tale protein known as PSA.<\/p>\n
One of those foods is actually a beverage, pomegranate juice. Men that get in the habit of drinking 8 ounces of that same juice every day can slow the progress of any localized prostate cancer cells, those that have not spread to some other part of the body.<\/p>\n
While the presence of pomegranate juice at a Valentine\u2019s Day dinner would not guarantee formation of the recommended juice-consuming habit, it could encourage the purchase of at least one bottle. Ideally that would be a bottle that happened to contain a deep purple beverage.<\/p>\n
Even certain appetizers have the ability to diminish the chances that the eater of such an appetizer might die from prostate cancer. Nuts belong on a list of such appetizers. Smart women do not hesitate to provide a spouse, fianc\u00e9 or boyfriend with tree nuts. A list of tree nuts would include almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts and pistachios.<\/p>\n
What about the main course? Is there a recommended food or the main course? Yes, researchers have produced data that showcases the benefits of fish and other seafood. Those could be served in combination with fresh fruit or fresh vegetables. That would be a great way for sneaking some extra gifts into the dinner menu.<\/p>\n
