Welcome to Issue 105 ~ February 2024: Clown World

Let’s begin by inviting you to enter this month’s Dream Factory ~ Clown World.

If you’re of a certain age, you’re probably in a state of shock at how the world is progressing and are longing for the carefree days of your youth.

We now live in a world:

•  That demands people dance the ‘wokey cokey’
• Where feelings trump facts, no pun intended...
• Where our minds are manipulated and bombarded with propaganda

We now live in a clown world where:

• MY truth matters MORE than THE truth
• Mob culture rules - coordinating pile ons and take-downs; but who is the current dominant mob and who are they disagreeing with now?
• We are being forced to take sides as the clowns proceed to divide and conquer

It’s not so much the lunatics taking over the asylum. If we let them, it’s the clowns who will take over, turning our world into a circus, hard to escape from. Alas, there are far too many vying for that ring master’s job.

Do you want to join the circus? Or do you wish the circus would pack up and leave town?

The Ladies With Attitude ~ our panel of straight-talking ladies are discussing: “Before the world became a circus.”

The Zodiac Zingers are here to guide your month ahead ~ failure to comply with this essential and life-changing advice may result in us calling the celestial police to arrest you for a sense of humour failure.

Pull up a pew to read fabulously decadent & divine ‘Lady P’s musings on the clowns which abound in the dating world and beyond. They’re not just confined to the circus, so stay on your guard with her handy guide on how to spot them!.

Brace yourselves for: The Good, The Bad & The Dragly, in Life's A Drag, Come join the party as we enter the fabulously riotous and the (not so) glamorous world of Drag ~ complete with over the top tears, possible diva tantrums, laughter and downright naughty behaviour! What could possibly go wrong?!

This month’s inspirational features:

Extra-celestial Angie Barnett, with her extraordinary psychic powers. Are you a believer? #CosmicWhisper

‘Menopausal Hotties’ returns with the ‘Hotties Menopause Manual’, where we share our insights on the challenges and joys, capturing the accompanying highs, lows and undulations of the many symptoms of the menopause. Or as one of our Hotties likes to call it: something to save us from the cycle of “Eat, sleep, rage/rave, repeat”!

Making finance fun and a little less daunting…we have our resident financial expert ~ Danni Watts-Jones ~ she is on hand to help you look after the health of your wealth and money matters, to give you the confidence to navigate life’s financial highs and lows.

Welcome to Issue 106 ~ March 2024: War Paint

Let’s begin by inviting you to enter this month’s Dream Factory ~ War Paint.

Your journey through life can be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, littered with tough times, emotional upsets and problems that need solving. In my opinion it’s always best to tackle and face them head-on whilst looking and feeling fabulous! 

When preparing for confrontation, a little war paint and/or a killer outfit will most certainly give you an edge. You look the part and feel powerful which most definitely fuels the confidence needed to take on any battle, on any given day that may come your way.

Nobody quite does elaborate or excessive war paint like a Drag Queen, so let’s bring on our Drag Soldiers as they get ready to kick a little ass and take on the world!

The Ladies With Attitude ~ our panel of straight-talking ladies are discussing: “War paint is my armour.”

The Zodiac Zingers are here to guide your month ahead ~ failure to comply with this essential and life-changing advice may result in us calling the celestial police to arrest you for a sense of humour failure.

Welcome to Issue 107 ~ April 2024: Batshit Crazy

I decided to do an internet search into the meaning behind the phrase ~ Batshit Crazy ~ and this is just a small selection of the colourful definitions I found:

• Certifiably nuts!
• Extremely irrational
• Insane
• Foolish
• Uncontrollably wild
• Strange
• Extreme madness

Does this sound like anyone you know?

In an ever changing volatile world, life is becoming more bonkers & bizarre by the day.

Are you sick and tired of chaos and all the bullshit that comes with it?

Are we being sucked into the madness of a world that is spinning out of control?

Do we embrace the madness or do we say ‘enough is enough’ and reject it?

We invite you to enter the Dream Factory where you can immerse yourself in our artistic and ingenious photo shoot, complete with a unique ‘behind the scenes’ video.

Enjoy the madness, mischief and mayhem as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity.

Sit back and watch the magic unfold as we’re about to go Batshit Crazy!

Welcome to Issue 108 ~ May 2024: Zesty

When life gives you lemons, what sort of person are you?

Are you the optimistic type who always strives to make lemonade?

Are you a pessimist who likes to throw a pity party, leaving you looking as though you are constantly sucking on a sherbet lemon?

Or…are you self-destructive? The type who asks for the salt and tequila before swiftly moving onto the gin. And then the vodka, before slowly and completely losing the plot.

We invite you to enter the Dream Factory where you can immerse yourself in our artistic and ingenious photo shoot, complete with a unique ‘behind the scenes’ video.

Enjoy the madness, mischief and mayhem as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity.

Sit back and watch the magic unfold ~ it’s time to become more zesty…to be bold, energetic and live your best life.

Welcome to Issue 109 ~ June 2024: Twaddletosh

Twaddletosh ~ the amalgamation of two of my favourite words: TWADDLE ~ trivial, foolish, gibberish, nonsensical speech or writing, and TOSH ~ pretentious silly talk/writing.

We invite you to enter the Dream Factory where you can immerse yourself in our artistic and ingenious photo shoot, complete with a unique ‘behind the scenes’ video.

The photo shoot is inspired by my love of Alice in Wonderland ~ a colourful story of a bonkers world, full of bonkers people, doing and saying the most bizarre and bonkers things! What’s not to love?!

My character creation is a mashup of Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat! The silly and playful antics of Dee & Dum, merge with the eccentric, loud and insane Mad Hatter, topped off with the troublemaking, all-knowing Cheshire Cat with the annoying permanent grin.

I imagine my new character to be an interfering busybody, a grinning buffoon who loves the sound of their own voice, full of self-importance having completely mastered the act of talking crap and turning it into an art form. They think they know it all and constantly talk Twaddletosh.

Sounds much better and politer than bull$hit, doesn’t it? And let’s be honest, we all know someone like this!

I guess Alice isn’t the only one with an overactive, wacky imagination, creating over-the-top, peculiar characters.

Enjoy the madness, mischief and mayhem as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity.

Welcome to Issue 110 ~ July 2024: Exotic

What do people mean by exotic? ‘Strange’ or ‘different’, in a striking, unusual or fascinating way.

Sometimes it feels as though we’re living in a boring, bland world, drowning in a sea of beige where people are afraid to be different or to stand out, for fear of being ridiculed or attacked.

What’s so wrong with bright colours, sparkle and a little razzle-dazzle, celebrating our kinks & quirks, our passions, our creativity and our uniqueness?

Are you ready to show off your plumage and ruffle some feathers? Step into the daylight, bask in the glorious colours of nature, strut your stuff and embrace the Exotic as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity.

The Ladies With Attitude ~ our panel of straight-talking ladies are discussing: “What we find exotic.”

The Zodiac Zingers are here to guide your month ahead ~ failure to comply with this essential and life-changing advice may result in us calling the celestial police to arrest you for a sense of humour failure.

Welcome to Issue 111 ~ August 2024: Tin Hatter

This issue is called Tin Hatter and it’s ALL about conspiracy theories.

Who doesn’t love a good conspiracy theory ~ they really get the grey matter going ~ igniting our inquisitive minds?!

Conspiracy theories lurk everywhere and cover a dizzying array of utterly bonkers topics.

Realistically, not all are plausible ~ a lot are sinister and some are completely bat shit crazy ~ but that’s what makes them so enticing and fascinating.

Are you loyal to the tin foil? Or do you think it’s all a load of old Twaddletosh?

• Do you believe the earth is flat?
• Is Elvis still alive?
• Did Lee Harvey Oswald really kill JFK with a magic bullet?
• Did man really land on the moon?
• What actually happened to flight MH370?
• Is the pharmaceutical industry suppressing a cure for cancer?
• What does go on at Area 51?
• Was Princess Diana’s death an accident?
• Where is Lord Lucan?
• Is there a Deep State or a New World Order?

The list of conspiracy theories is endless, and grows daily making it all too easy to dismiss them as unhinged beliefs held by paranoid idiots, but that would be to seriously underestimate them.

Assume nothing and as Albert Einstein once said ~ “question everything”.

Enter the Dream Factory and watch the magic unfold as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity. Meanwhile, can someone tell me where did I put my tin hat?!

This month’s issue is called: Emotion Potions. But what is an emotion?

An emotion is a strong feeling deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.

Emotions are subjective and can be short-lived responses or a long-lasting effect caused by an underlying mood ~ and in an era of rising tensions and negativity, the quality of our emotional health is essential to our health and wellbeing.

Enter the Dream Factory to watch the magic unfold as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity as they conjure up a magical and emotional photo shoot.

We have also created our very own range of Emotion Potions designed to spark positivity and stimulate your senses with scents which have the power to evoke vivid memories and modulate your mood. Look out for a very special announcement as they will be available very soon!

Choose optimism and positivity ~ it feels better!

Be part of something special…and be part of the magic…

Welcome to Issue 113 ~ October 2024: Treasure

This month’s issue is called: Treasure.

What do you see as treasure? Money, jewels, precious metals and gems?

Or are you more like me?

The greatest treasures in my life are love, family and good health. 

These things are far more valuable than any trinkets and totally irreplaceable, but just like hidden treasure, first they need to be discovered before they can be cared for and appreciated.

There is a beautiful Welsh hymn ~ Calon Lȃn ~ which is a treasure all of its own!.

Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus, Aur y byd na'i berlau mân:
Gofyn wyf am galon hapus, calon onest, calon lân.
Calon lân yn llawn daioni, tecach yw na'r lili dlos:
Dim ond calon lân all ganu  canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.
Pe dymunwn olud bydol, hedyn buan ganddo sydd;
Golud calon lân, rinweddol, yn dwyn bythol elw fydd.
Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad gwyd i'r nef ar edyn cân
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad, roddi i mi galon lân.

Translated into English:

I don't ask for a luxurious life the world's gold or its fine pearls,
I ask for a happy heart, an honest heart, a pure heart.
A pure heart full of goodness is fairer than the pretty lily,
None but a pure heart can sing, sing in the day and sing in the night.
If I wished for worldly wealth, it would swiftly go to seed;
The riches of a virtuous, pure heart will bear eternal profit.
Evening and morning, my wish rising to heaven on the wing of song for God, for the sake of my saviour to give me a pure heart.

My advice would be to stop obsessing over material wealth, and to embrace ~ the beauty of nature ~ the joy of friends ~ the love of family ~ the thrill of learning. 

All the money in the world cannot buy us love, happiness or health.

So let us be grateful for what we do have and treasure it!

Enter the Dream Factory to watch the magic unfold as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity and search for hidden treasure, the old-fashioned way ~ pirate style!

Welcome to Issue 114 ~ November 2024: Welsh Rare-Bits

This month’s issue is called: Welsh Rare-Bits.

But what exactly is Welsh Rare-Bit? 

Well besides a ’rarebit’ being the tastiest, cheesiest, toastiest, most scrumptious, suppertime snack of all time, Welsh Rare-Bits are all the wonderful things that make our glorious country Wales, so special and unique, and makes us oh so proud to be Welsh!

Let’s start with its spectacularly beautiful scenery: The majestic Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) mountain, the dramatic Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons), the stunning coastlines and our outstanding natural beauty spots.

Wales is the land of: 

• creatively-talented legends: Sir Tom Jones, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Dame Shirley Bassey, Michael Sheen, Richard Burton and Dylan Thomas.
• castles and dragons - even our national flag is emblazoned with one!
• song - from the amazing Sir Tom to the Manic Street Preachers, Charlotte Church, aka the voice of an Angel, and the absolutely mesmerising male voice choirs!
• culinary gems and delicacies such as Welsh cakes (fresh off the griddle - accept nothing less!), cockles, laverbread (not a bread but a seaweed), bara brith, cawl and Glamorgan sausage.

And putting Wales on the international stage we can give thanks to the popular and oh so funny TV sitcom, Gavin & Stacey, co-written by Welsh talent Ruth Jones (with James Corden). Hollywood’s A-lister actors  Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) and Rob McElhenny who jointly bought Wrexham Football Club to elevate it from a lowly National league position to EFL’s League 1, and not forgetting Swansea’s very own Catherine Zeta-Jones who nailed the big screen - and Hollywood acting legend - Michael Douglas…

And last but by no means least we have the sheep! Or maybe that’s a conversation for a later day, and a later hour, after the watershed…! 

Enter the Dream Factory to watch the magic unfold as #TeamHeaven indulge their creativity and bring to life, the famous Welsh Dragon.

Featuring this month:

The Ladies With Attitude ~ our panel of straight-talking ladies are discussing: “The Rare-Bits that make Wales’ Best Bits.”
