It’s been a tradition for several generations. Each Christmas, the royals release cards featuring personal photos taken throughout the year, and 2018 is no exception. But while there has been praise for posed shots of Prince Charles (70) and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (71), and Prince William (36) and his family, the jury seems to be out in regard to the snap featured on the card sent out by Prince Harry (34) and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (37). A never-before-seen black-and -white shot, it shows the couple from behind watching a fireworks display on their wedding night. While some have described it as arty and tender, others have slammed it for being impersonal because their faces aren’t seen. Meghan’s estranged half-sister Samantha Markle (53) hit out at the…

Actress Keira Knightley sure has come a long way since playing a football-obsessed teenager in Bend It Like Beckham. The Love Actually star and two-time Oscar nominee was awarded an OBE by Prince Charles (70) for her contributions in drama and charity work, notably with organisations such as Oxfam and WaterAid. The actress (33) was dressed for the occasion in a stunning Chanel suit and supported by her rock star husband, James Righton (35), and her parents Will Knightley (72) and Sharman Macdonald (67) at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the honour. While Keira’s outfit was just what the occasion called for, James’ outfit was more controversial – he ignored royal protocol by going tie-free to the event.…

The Great Kiwi Bake Off winner Annabel Coulter and her mum Kate are absolutely delighted that after months of secrecy, they can now celebrate her success. Since last week’s final, where Annabel (19) took out the title after wowing judges Sue Fleischl and Dean Brettschneider with a sensational fish ‘n’ chip illusion cake, she has been able to pull the glass plate she won out of hiding, and she no longer needs to fudge her answers to curious family and friends. “We’ve had to keep her win under our hats since July, which has probably affected our ability to celebrate,” admits Kate (51). “In weeks one and three, when Annabel got star baker, we got lots of questions – ‘She must win! Does she win?’ – Then she sat about…

“I joke that I’m married to the Navy. Frankly, people who balance families blow my mind – I don’t know how they do it. Still, I feel like I am a super-mum in a way. I have to worry about 178 people. When one of the ship’s company doesn’t get back to the ship on time when we’re in a foreign port, I think the worst. That doesn’t happen often, and they might just have fallen asleep or be running late or their phone’s gone flat, but it always gives me a heart attack. We’re just back from Malaysia, taking part in an exercise we do every year. It’s a rehearsal at sea, if you like – of some of the activities we would need to deliver if we were…

This week’s model Helene shares her beauty secrets with us… Beauty-wise, what’s surprised you the most about getting older? It shouldn’t really have surprised me, but how dry my skin has got – and so quickly! It’s like it happened overnight. I’ve always fought against oily skin and now it’s the opposite; I am lathering on oils and balms and sometimes it’s not enough. What’s your latest favourite beauty find? Well, I knew about this one, but I’ve only just invested in it and I can’t get enough of RMS Beauty “Un-cover Up” from Mecca. You can use it as a foundation or a light concealer as it visibly melts into the skin while covering imperfections and redness (a bonus for my rosacea). It’s also chemical and preservative-free, and comes…

Use sunshine to get rid of stains, give your dog a rosemary wash and make a natural body scrub. Rosemary is a very old treatment for hair and is very antiseptic, as is lavender. People used to strew these herbs over their floors to deter fleas and vermin, so there’s a high chance this shampoo will keep fleas away, but I’m not claiming it will get rid of them altogether! It also contains glycerine, another wonderful old-fashioned moisturiser that I use a lot in my recipes. Fresh rosemary stalks (enough to stuff an old Agee jar). Water (I used rainwater) 30ml liquid detergent 1 tsp glycerine (at pharmacies and some supermarkets) 1/4 tsp lavender essential oil Pack the jar tight with the rosemary and fill with boiling water. Seal, then…

Your largest organ – your skin – is always renewing and can get clogged up with old skin cells. So once a week it’s a good idea to give it a good scrub with a loofah or this fantastic body scrub. You’ll love using it and it will leave your skin breathing free, while the lemon juice will act as a bleach for your fingernails and toenails. Fill a small jar or bowl with 200g good coarse sea salt. Pour 4 tbsp olive oil and the juice of a lemon over top. Mix together and rub all over your body vigorously before rinsing off.…

You will need Yourchoiceofmuffiningredients Baking paper Small, round paper doilies Assorted fabrics Pinking shears Pearl-headed pins Ribbons Gift tags, optional 1 Prepare muffin mixture using your recipe. Lightly grease a muffin tin, but instead of using paper muffin cases, cut baking paper into 15cm squares. Use pinking shears to create a zig-zag edging. Push paper squares into the muffin holes and drop some muffin mixture into the cases. Bake muffins as per the recipe. 2 Cut the fabric into 16cm squares. Again, use pinking shears for a zig-zag edge. 3 Place a paper doily in the centre of the fabric square (this will stop moisture marking the fabric). Position the muffins on the doily, fold up the points of the fabric, then secure with pins. 4…

Talk tough times out My heart goes out to those who experience grief rather than joy at this time of year. If you are in this situation, I urge you to take your courage in both hands and talk! Talk to a friend, talk to a counsellor - just talk. Once I heard some very wise advice: “Say to yourself, ‘I’ve suffered a hideous loss. It has hurt me so deeply. But that grief has had enough of my life! I refuse to let it steal any more of my joy!’” You can get yourself out of that black hole, but you have to choose to take the first step. How do I know? I’ve been there. And I can promise there is joy and love to experience, and friends…

CAPRICORN Dec 23 – Jan 20 You are perfectly capable of doing anything on your own, but when there are two of you with the same vision and outlook, then the energy is so much stronger. Someone wants to be involved, so let them in. He or she has a lot to add to the mix. On your own you will be successful, but with a little bit of support and help you can achieve something above and beyond your expectations. AQUARIUS Jan 21 – Feb 19 Slow down! Everything will happen in its own good time, whether you go at top speed or take your time and smell the roses. You might need a little emotional support because a partner or lover is being difficult. It doesn’t mean a…

We’re under invasion! Check your house right now! If it’s anything like ours, you will be disturbed to find a dangerously large population of unicorns. In our case, they cleverly used a November birthday and a December Christmas to dupe our children, cajole their way into our home, bolster numbers and assert their dominance over our day-to-day lives. I was recently prevented from entering our daughters’ bedroom by a large scrum of them pushing up against the door. Not that it would have made a difference if I had been able to gain access, because locating my actual human daughters in their beds is nigh on impossible thanks to the numerous assorted, spiral-horned beasts in there with them. Usually I give up and plant a goodnight kiss on whatever toy…

THE FAVOURITE RATING: R13 Golden Globe winner Olivia Colman puts on a stunning performance as the troubled Queen Anne in this new period film. Debilitated by illness, Anne’s close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) rules England in her stead. But when Sarah’s cousin Abigail (Emma Stone) comes to court and threatens her favour with Anne, a battle of wits and intrigue begins. Emma and Rachel are outstanding, with Emma pulling off a near-perfect English accent, but Olivia remains the true star of the film. A great taste of British history with a bunch of laughs and a touch of sentimentality.…

She lives in Oxford, England, and used to be an academic and teacher. Her debut novel, The Thirteenth Tale, was a massive international bestseller. This novel was inspired by... ”A discovery I made as a child. When I was four, my little sister was diagnosed with a serious heart defect. During this anxious time, I read in my grandmother’s newspaper a story about a boy who drowned in a lake but came back to life an hour later. Oh, the relief! All we had to do was tell my sister that if she died, she should turn round and come straight back to life. ‘No,’ said my grandmother, ‘that’s not how it works.’ By the time I found another article about a drowned child returning from the dead, my sister…

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden knows a magnificent dress when she sees one! The royal turned heads at the Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm recently, wearing a vintage Nina Ricci ball gown that her mother Queen Silvia (75) wore to the event in 1995. The princess (41) obviously admired her mother’s elegant choice at the time - a photo from the ’90s event shows the then 19-year-old following her mother into the venue in a simple red dress. This time around, Victoria accessorised the gorgeous gown with a dazzling tiara and ceremonial sash. Her mother looked every bit as radiant when she wore it 23 years ago, sporting the same sash and a show-stopping tiara of her own. Victoria attended the ceremony with other senior royals, including Queen Silvia, and…

She’s one of Hollywood’s most beautiful actresses and increasingly one of the most lauded. But Margot Robbie is finding her greatest success when she shuns her good looks – and her latest role, as Queen Elizabeth I in Mary Queen of Scots, is her most dramatic transformation yet, into the 16th-century monarch whose visage was marred by smallpox scars. Australian-born Margot, who last year earned an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, spent almost four hours in the make-up chair every morning to become Elizabeth. “They’d start with a head wrap,” says Margot, “gelling and pinning my hair down. Then we’d do a bald cap. “Surprisingly, the quick part was the white make-up, and the heavily drawn-on blush, eyebrows and lips.” Margot says the idea…

When Julia Roberts is asked to list three turning points in her life, she doesn’t include her 1990 role in Pretty Woman, which catapulted her to overnight stardom. She also ignores her Oscar-winning role in the 2000 drama Erin Brockovich or other films including Notting Hill, My Best Friend’s Wedding and Eat Pray Love. “You might be disappointed with my list as it’s not very sexy,” she teases, “but my greatest hits list is being born, getting married and having kids.” The 51-year-old has carefully arranged her career for the past two decades to fall in line behind personal priorities, including her husband of 16 years, film director of photography Danny Moder (49), and children – twins Hazel and Phinnaeus (13), and Henry (11). “Isn’t it incredible?” she jokes when…

“BOBBY?” The elderly gentleman looked up from the photo album they were both perusing. “Yes, Granddad.” “Have I ever told you how your great-grandmother Carmen got her nickname?” “No.” The 12-year-old waited patiently for his grandfather to continue. He knew from experience this wasn’t going to be a quick tale. “That’s her there,” his granddad said, pointing at an old, shabby black and white photo of an elderly, austere-looking lady. She was wearing a knee-length printed dress, with a crocheted shawl around her shoulders. Her hair was tied up in a bun at the back of her head, and she wore solid, dark-rimmed spectacles. “What was her nickname?” he asked, hoping to coax his grandfather into an abridged version of the story, instead of the usual elongated version with all…

1 TRENDS TO LOVE A whole new set of trends – some we have seen before and some we wish we hadn’t –will come in 2019. Here are three trends that are ideal to add to your wardrobe and won’t disappear fast, and that you’ll also be able to integrate into your day-to-day outfits: • To counterbalance the barely-there fashion trend embraced by so many, the other end of the spectrum is the modesty trend. Think long sleeves, higher necklines, and midi and maxi-length dresses in floral prints reminiscent of yesteryear, like this option from EziBuy’s curvy line Sara. • Embrace snakeskin, the hottest animal-print trend to dominate stores over the coming months. This Witchery wrap dress is the ideal place to start. • Finally, opt for coordinated dressing. Take…

Sun protection isn’t just for those long days at the beach or around the pool. We need to be mindful of protecting our skin as we go about our daily activities too. New research has shown that we Kiwis are pretty good at slip, slop slapping for occasions such as a day at the beach. But we let our guard down when it comes to protecting our skin on a day-to-day basis. “Incidental sun exposure is the type of exposure that we probably think about the least; for example, walking to work, dining outdoors or taking children to the park,” says consultant dermatologist for Nivea, Dr Victoria Scott-Lang. “But we know that this type of chronic, low-level sun exposure can lead to damage in the form of actinic keratosis -…

Dr Victoria Scott-Lang’s top five sun protection tips: 1 Apply one teaspoon of sunscreen per body part: one teaspoon for the face, ears and neck; one teaspoon for each arm and leg (including the hands and feet); one teaspoon for the front of the body; and one teaspoon for the back of the body. Adults need about seven teaspoons from head to toe. 2 Make sure you apply your sunscreen 20 minutes before going into the sun. 3 Combine sunscreen with sun-protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat that protects the face, head, neck and ears, and wear sunglasses. 4 Reapply sun care products at least every two hours to maintain the sun protection level, especially after swimming, during which the protection period is shortened as the sunscreen film can be partially…

It makes me feel old when a trend from the 1970s or ’80s comes around again, so I was less than delighted to read in The New York Times that masses of indoor plants are the Next Big Thing. Haven’t we been there, done that? Anyone who was alive in the 1970s will remember variegated spider plants in macramé hangers. Well, they’re back, perhaps not in macramé hangers but certainly in living rooms all across the United States and who knows where else – living proof that indoor gardening is the trend for 2019. The US gardening PR company Garden Media Group, which is in the business of predicting trends, says it’s because we’re moving away from the me generation towards the she generation, which is focused on Mother Nature.…

She’s a tonic! Kerre McIvor is lovely, articulate and straight-talking! She is a true tonic for me, and a breath of fresh air when at times the world news is so very unsettling. I really do enjoy reading about her grandchildren. Kerre and her husband are very lucky grandparents, and very fortunate to be blessed with the means to travel and visit their family on the other side of the world. I am thrilled for all of them. Lorra Rose, Whanganui The writer of our winning letter r eceives $100. Our letter wins a copy of Of Blood and Bone (Hachette, RRP $34.99). Thirteen years ago, a pandemic known as The Doom killed billions. For those left behind, there’s a chance to build a new world. But The Doom was…

CAPRICORN Dec 23 – Jan 20 Visiting a colleague or friend gives you a better understanding of who they are and why they do the things they do. This is especially enlightening for you if they are from another culture. Not only will you enjoy the food, entertainment, discussion and dynamics, but you’ll be intrigued by some of the customs. You’ll have a better friendship as a result, and will be uplifted by the warmth and hospitality. AQUARIUS Jan 21 – Feb 19 Don’t spend too much time considering other people’s feelings. There is a line in the sand and this is the week you don’t allow others to cross it. You will not be intimidated. If you’re involved in politics or some kind of charitable organisation, you’ll find yourself…

If you’ve never read this author’s first novel, The Thirteenth Tale, you’ve missed a treat and should definitely get your hands on a copy – it’s one of my all-time favourites. Her latest book, Once Upon a River, is perhaps less of an obvious reader-pleaser. Curious and atmospheric, it’s a story that pulls you in gently, mystifies and, very soon, enthrals. It is set along a stretch of the River Thames in Oxfordshire. On a midwinter night in the 1800s the locals are gathered at the Swan Inn as usual, telling stories and drinking. The door swings open and on the threshold is an injured man, soaking wet and clutching the body of a drowned child he has plucked from the river. As local nurse Rita Sunday says a prayer…

Ahhhhh. Here we are, we made it! I hope as you are reading this you have your feet up, a cool drink in hand, with the SPF on getting a bit of sun (or relaxing on the sofa if we’re having one of those unpredictable Kiwi summer days). It’s time to relax and unwind, reflect on the year that was and enjoy the hope and promise of a new year . There’s plenty to get stuck into in this bumper issue – you will see on the cover it’s a double issue, which means we’ve added extra content in to get you through to our next issue, which will be out on January 7! We’re chock-a-block with stories – fr om local faces and news (including the incredible tale of…

They are the sort of couple you see every day at the school gates. She’s blonde, friendly and a committed charity fundraiser. He’s thin on top, smiley, and enthusiastic about sport and art. In fact, if you lived near the Earl and Countess of Wessex, you actually might meet them dropping off their children or cheering them on at a sports day. For most of us, this is business as usual. For Prince Edward (54) and his wife Sophie (53), being normal is a triumph. “They’ve both experienced the rough side of being royal, the unwanted attention and inability to get on with life,” says a long-term friend. “They are determined their children won’t have to put up with that, so they have slipped as far under the radar as…

At the age of 55, Niloufer Sultana is putting herself first for once. She has to, because the former childcare educator has suffered a stroke and three heart attacks and been diagnosed pre-diabetic, all within the past 15 years. Her friend Gay Watson (60) is taking similar action, after putting on weight thanks to lifestyle changes and stress. It’s a story that women across New Zealand know all too well – whether mothers, partners or caregivers, they put themselves at the back of the queue as they rush to care for everyone else first. But at what expense? As medical professionals are warning, the consequences of this self-neglect reveal themselves in our health. “I was quite healthy, but working full-time for really long hours took its toll on me,” Niloufer…

THE SOUND CRASHED into her consciousness, startling her. The insistent, persistent knock set her teeth on edge. Struggling, she tried to open her heavy, unwilling eyes. If she didn’t know better, she would have thought this wasn’t her own bedroom. Her very own oasis of calm and serenity, decorated, of course, in the many hues of her favourite colour. It’s funny how some people don’t think of red as a restful colour. She did. Ruby reds, poppy reds, soft petal reds, the whole palette; she loved them. Nothing made her feel better than relaxing in a personal sea of glorious red. The colour of sunsets, roses and lipstick. Surely, also, the colour of love, and all that is good. She squinted and peered, finally making out the long, hovering shadow…

I’ve always liked the idea of a retreat – but the reality? I wasn’t sure I was ready. I thought retreats meant silence, dawn rises and deprivation, and though I know it’s good to have a little bit of silence and early rising and lentil-eating in one’s life from time to time, I didn’t think I’d enjoy it for five days. However, the yoga, fitness and adventure retreat in Niue run by Melissa Carroll looked to be the perfect blend of healthy living and fun times. Yoga, fitness training, wellbeing seminars, and hikes and swims around the beautiful island sounded like a lovely way to relax and recharge. It helped that I knew two of the facilitators who help Mel run the retreats and they are the best in their…

CHASING THE TRUTH My son told me one day he had learned at school that potatoes come from the sky and wreck houses. A tad concerned we were wasting our hard-earned money on a private school, I delved a bit deeper. He told me that these “potatoes” can also lift cars and people off the ground. Finally, I clicked. He meant tornados! Misunderstood, via email LEAVE A MESSAGE It was bath and hair-wash time for my three youngest children when the phone rang. Balancing the receiver under my chin as I went about my task, I said, “I’m sorry, I can’t answer the phone right now, but if you leave your number....” On the other end my friend exploded with, “I hate these answer machines!” and then hung up. Carol,…

If I’m lucky enough to live to my 80s, I hope that I inherit the same sense of adventure and derring-do that my mother exhibits. I’ve admired her for years. She was widowed far too young – just as her own mother was – but forged a wonderful life for herself. She is physically fit, mentally alert and her fabulous sense of humour means that she has a broad and extensive network of friends. There is a lot to admire about my little mother. Even so, I was a little concerned when she said she wanted to come to England with me as I helped out my daughter with the new baby. Having been, for all intents and purposes, a live-in nanny when baby Bart was born last year, I…

My favourite book ever is… Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling. By this point, Harry is experiencing the thrills of adolescence without fully realising the horrendous tasks that await him. Blissful ignorance. My book of the moment is… Atomic Habits: Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear. I’m a sucker for self-help books, but only ones that are based on proper psychology. This book gives you the tools to change your behaviour and get more control over your life. Who wouldn't want that?…
