API TO CHANGE ITS CONSTITUTIONAPI leisure&lifestyle, or the Australian Post-Tel Institute (South Australia and Northern Territory) Incorporated as it is officially known, is holding its Annual General Meeting of members at 5:30pm on Tuesday 28th October to consider the accounts and associated reports on the organisation’s activities for the year 2007/08.

You may also be interested to learn that API convened a Special General Meeting on 12th August to consider a revised Constitution. More than 60 members attended and supported the proposed changes. Hence the upcoming Annual General Meeting will be conducted under the Rules of the new Constitution; and elections for Member Representatives will be deferred until 2009 to align with the new requirement that Member Representatives retire by rotation with only half the Board up for election at any one time.

As is custom and a requirement of the Constitution, the President will present his report on your organisation’s activities for the year; and will also provide a further update on efforts to forge a closer working relationship with API Ltd. which is headquartered in Sydney and covers the states of NSW, VIC and TAS.

It was very pleasing to see so many members attend the recent Special General Meeting so we hope to also see you at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in API’s Boardroom on Level 1, 12 Pirie Street.

Refreshments and supper will be provided following the meeting. To assist with catering, please advise your attendance by email to [email protected] or by phoning Member Services on 08 8403 2010.

We look forward to seeing you.

For many people, beauty services are no longer a luxury but have become a necessity, an Essential part of life.

Beauty services are just Essential

10 | lifeSMART®

MeMbeR Tip API members receive 5-10% off treatments and 10% off products at Essential Beauty salons Australia-wide.

The Australian beauty industry has undergone significant changes since the 1960’s and 1970’s. We were amazed that American women would go to a beauty ‘parlours’. Today, there is an increasing demand from both men and women who want to achieve the right

‘look’, be confident and feel good about themselves.

For many people, beauty services are no longer a luxury but have become a necessity, an Essential part of life. The range of beauty products and services has also grown to suit this trend.

An Essential Beauty salon combines traditional beauty treatments with the latest products and services. The latest beauty therapy equipment, fittings and a complete range of beauty products ensures a visit to Essential Beauty is an enjoyable experience.

Some of the most Essential services include:

Nails ›

Skin Care ›

Waxing ›

Massage ›

Natural Looking Organic ›Spray on tan

Crystal and Crystal-less ›Microdermabrasion

Cosmetic services ›

Permanent hair reduction ›

Permanent makeup ›

As a full-service beauty and hair removal salon, Essential Beauty is dedicated to consistently providing high customer satisfaction. Taking the “exclusive” and “clinical” nature out of beauty services, Essential Beauty has also given the beauty market a fresh new look.

Essential Beauty’s secrets to success include:

Locations - busy CBD and ›shopping centre sites

Environment – professional ›service in a friendly, relaxing atmosphere

Convenience – a full ›range of treatments with extended salon business hours

Reputation – experienced ›staff and the home of XXX waxing and piercing

Find your nearest salon at www.essentialbeauty.com.au

Essential Beauty has come a long way since its first outlet in Regent Arcade, Adelaide. Pioneered by Melissa Gav, the family owned business has developed into a national brand with outlets across Adelaide as well in Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne.

There is good coffee and absolutely abysmal coffee. Both may start with the same elements, but one cup can taste completely different to another. Freshness is the key to great tasting coffee.

How to make a great cup of coffee

retaillife:

Author: kate Simpson Source: freearticlehq.com

Here are some other tips:

•Usegoodbeansandbuyonly enough coffee beans to last you a week. Buying fresh beans is one key to good taste. When you buy beans make sure the beans are all relatively the same size and same color for even grinding and flavor.

18 | lifeSMART®

•Usefilteredwater.Evenif your coffee maker has a charcoal filter it is best to start off with filtered water to ensure there are no impurities to alter the taste.

•Forthebesttastingcoffeeensure you have a coffee maker which can brew up to 95 to 98 degrees Celsius, just off the boil. This temperature is the optimal temperature to get the best flavor out of the bean.

•Onlygrindasmuchcoffeeas you are going to need for that moment. The finer you grind, the more flavors you will receive. The grind has to be even to ensure even taste. Grind to your machine’s recommendations.

•Usetwoleveltablespoonsof coffee per cup.

•Ensureyourfilterisfreefrom all coffee sludge. When it comes to coffee, cleanliness is next to godliness.

•Neverreusecoffeegrinds.

•Nevergrindbeansjusttaken out of the freezer. Let them thaw first.

•Alwaysstorecoffeeinair-tight containers away from direct sunlight.

•Alwayswarmyourcupandnever reheat coffee.
