Life is a beautiful thing when it’s all going along swimmingly. The problem is, the actual living of it very rarely goes to plan. There are moments you think will be “nothing special” that can become your greatest triumphs, presenting opportunity, excitement and new paths. On the flipside, there are the curveballs. For some, these are more like cannonballs that can blow up life. They’re the things we never planned, asked for, factored in or wished for on our journey. In those times, life is more ugly than beautiful! They say that life is 10 per cent what happens to you and 90 per cent how you react to it – and it’s a lesson broadcaster Duncan Garner is learning every day. It hasn’t been easy. Behind his confident and…

When I was younger and I pictured what my life would be like, I imagined myself living a pleasant, quiet sort of existence, working as a kindergarten teacher, which is what I was doing when I went to Bali for a holiday that would change everything. The year was 1977 when my mother and I set off. We arrived in Ubud and went to our accommodation at the Puri Saraswati Bungalows, which was a beautiful and tranquil hotel on royal palace land. The luscious gardens shimmered with a million shades of green and the Balinese architecture took my breath away. The property was owned by one of the two wives of Prince Tjokorda Agung Suyasa. One of his wives lived with him in the palace, and the other lived in…

The red lip “In the early 1900s, red lipstick was a way to show power without saying a word,” says Sarah Laidlaw. “And in the 1940s, it signified optimism.” A century later, it has become the Little Black Dress of beauty – atimeless classic that signifies confidence. The modern way to carry off a bold hue is to slightly overdraw the lip line at the centre top and bottom to create fullness, but to slightly underdraw on the outer edges to “lift” the lips. “I like using a long-wearing formula applied with a lip brush to create a precise shape that stays put,” says Sarah. 1.

from the Test Kitchen This one-pot pasta technique is easy, but requires a bit of attention to move and turn the pasta to ensure it doesn’t clump together. We used a pasta shape called Fusilli Lunghi Bucati, but you can use any dried long pasta. If short on prep time use frozen peas. from the Test Kitchen You can cook and shape the rice a day ahead.

Kerry Packer was not amused. He’d ordered a batch of pink-iced finger buns, his favourites, and eagerly awaited their delivery straight to his office. But when the treats with their soft white yeast dough, sultanas and shaved coconut arrived, they were missing a crucial ingredient – the large slathering of butter he craved. “He was on a very strict diet due to his heart condition,” Pamela Clark, who joined The Australian Women’s Weekly’s Test Kitchen in 1969, recalls from her home in Fiji today. “I said to him, ‘We can make your finger buns, Mr P, but you can’t have butter’. He wasn’t interested after that.” It was testament to the might of The Weekly’s Test Kitchen that “Mr P” didn’t sack her on the spot. For the kitchen was…

Find me a woman who doesn’t want to be judged as younger than the candles on her birthday cake. I will openly admit, I’m tickled pink if someone shaves a few years (any number will do at this point) off my chronological age. But now, stripped of the visual trickery of make-up or the well-intentioned flattery of a friend, I’m about to learn my “real” age: My biological age. Heart racing, I’m acutely aware that science might tell me that my candle is burning faster than the actual years I’ve walked the earth. Because those two things do not necessarily match up. “Our biological age takes into account our chronological age, but then adds factors that influence the ageing process, such as healthy or harmful habits, and genetic predisposition,” says…

World CUP Heart of gold When the Matildas huddled in a heart-shaped embrace after their loss to England, their own hearts would have been broken, but they had achieved something momentous.

It was May 30, 1936, when Princess Elizabeth first appeared on The Weekly’s cover. She was 10 years old and one of three royal children sharing the spotlight with a rather stern-looking, recently widowed Queen Mary, whose 69th birthday was being celebrated. Elizabeth and her sister Margaret Rose stand either side of their granny, who has their cousin Edward – now the Duke of Kent, son of their uncle George – on her knee. The baby looks as if he’s about to burst into tears, while Lilibet seems a tad nervous and Margaret is clearly loving the limelight. The editorial declares that the image “is a coloured reproduction of a photo taken by London ‘Times’ and reproduced by The Australian Women’s Weekly by special arrangement. The baby prince, now six…

At 15 you don’t leave school and become a novelist. It was all I wanted to do since Dorothea Mackellar told me at age seven to put the stories I made up into a book one day. I left school at 15 as so many of us did back then. I floundered around doing a bit of modelling and acting till my uncle Jim Revitt, an ABC foreign correspondent, told me I should tackle journalism. So, I started as a copy girl on The Australian Women’s Weekly. It changed my life in that it gave me skills that have served me well all my life. My first day I walked along Martin Place, up charming Rowe Street (what a loss), dawdled past the posh shops of Cornelius Furs, Steiner’s Jewellery…

When you hear the word ‘betrayal’, is infidelity the first thought that comes to mind? That punch-in-the-gut emotional blow when life as you know it changes forever. It’s no wonder – affairs are a lot more common than most of us would like to think. On this side of the world it is estimated that around 70 per cent of all marriages will experience a physical or emotional affair at some point. Yet these feelings of betrayal aren’t always caused by one catastrophically painful event or a romantic partner – sometimes the disloyalty and broken trust can be inflicted by a number of small hurts that build up over time, from where you least expect it. This could be the confusion that might have been felt as a child when…
