Innholdsfortegnelse for February 2018 i The Australian Women's Weekly

You wouldn’t know it from looking at my photo here, but I’m tall. Really tall. The kind of tall that provokes strangers to pass comment. Sometimes it comes in the form of an overheard whisper: “Gosh, look how big that girl is!”. Other times it is the more direct “Oh wow, how tall are you?” (186cm, if you must know), or my personal favourite: “Your husband must be a giant” (actually, he’s a petite, not-quite 180cm). As strange as I find it that people feel the need to comment on my physical appearance in this way, I can honestly say it doesn’t bother me. It could be that I’ve simply grown used it, or the fact that with age comes self-acceptance. However, at 13 and already 182cm tall, it was…

It’s the day after the Golden Globe Awards and Dame Helen Mirren is on a high. “It was a great night. I don’t think it will ever be quite repeated in that way, ever again. It was a moment in time,” she says, adrenalin still coursing from an evening when, even though the beloved Brit didn’t win the Best Actress award she was nominated for, history was being made. “The Golden Globes is a heady experience,” Helen tells The Weekly. “The room is so small and even the stars’ top agents can’t get in. It’s really only those who are nominated and their very close associates who are there. It’s like a concentrated Hollywood. So for that to happen that night in that context, it was quite a powerful thing.”…

Holed up in her Cape Town holiday home, Ruby Wax is putting the finishing touches to a new show, featuring a Buddhist monk who hasn’t had sex for 25 years and an eminent neuroscientist who wants to explain the function of your prefrontal cortex. Are we laughing yet? During her comedy heyday, Ruby cut an arresting figure – small, sassy, spiky-haired and powered by what appeared to be prodigious reserves of self-confidence. No-one, including Donald Trump, who threw her off his plane in a fit of pique, was too big to escape the Ruby treatment. What few of her fans realised was that behind the wise-cracking repartee, Ruby was a wreck. Her shows served as an escape from the depression that had plagued her since childhood, and when, in the…

Virginia Gay bounces into a Melbourne cafe at what would be considered an ungodly hour of the morning for many actors. A quick skim latte knocks the cobwebs off a late night treading the boards and she chats enthusiastically, albeit through the side of her mouth, as her lips grip pins she uses to casually whip her long blonde curls up into a bun. From the moment she sits down, the statuesque actor, who rose to fame in the Seven Network’s All Saints then cemented her star status in Winners & Losers, barely draws breath, effortlessly criss-crossing conversations ranging from the jubilation of the marriage equality legislation passing parliament to the darkness of her beloved industry rocked by the Harvey Weinstein-led scandal. The worldwide wave of the #metoo movement has…

Berries grow in woodland groves. They also grow in pots or baskets on your balcony. STRAWBERRIES Look for tiered strawberry planters. Choose varieties that bear fruit through spring, summer and autumn, or all year round in warm areas or on sunny patios. BLUEBERRIES These like rich, moist soil – choose self-watering pots or a dripper system if you may not remember to water them. Choose a variety suited to your climate. GOJI BERRIES These super, anti-oxidant fruits love sunlight, and hate competition from other bushes. In other words, they’re excellent in pots, are low-growing and extremely attractive. CAPER BERRIES These love sun, well-drained soil and a hot, dry climate – the perfect balcony berry, though do water them till they’re established. The tight buds are the bit you pick and…

The Only Story by Julian Barnes, Jonathan Cape. “Would you rather love the more, and suffer the more; or love the less and suffer the less?” That is, I think, finally, the only real question.” This is the opening to a quietly searching, at times comic and ultimately raw and honest investigation into how love – and quite possibly one love in particular – will inevitably dictate your life’s journey. It’s familiar territory for Julian Barnes, one of England’s most perceptive fiction writers in the realm of human emotion, relationships and the shortcomings therein, and while his observational structure is as ingenious as ever, it is the aching tenderness of his tone that really pulls at your heartstrings. Our hero, who slips pretty quickly into anti-hero status, begins the tale…

“Perhaps it’s this flexibility ... that makes small tours popular.” Fifteen of us are standing together on a rocky outcrop over a Welsh river in full flood. Our normally chatty group is quiet, mesmerised by the torrent and the deafening roar of the water. It thunders down in white sheets, soaring up wildly when it hits the rocks below. There are signs in Welsh and English warning against climbing over the fence onto the damp, slippery rocks. The English sign says, with predictable calmness, DANGER – DO NOT CLIMB OVER THE FENCE! The Welsh sign fairly explodes with feeling. “PERYGL PEIDIWCH A DRINGO DROS Y FFENS!” it shouts. It could be a warning about the rocks, a declaration of war or your council rates. Everything sounds more exciting in Welsh.…

There was never any doubt that Ralph Heimans would be a painter. He was raised on Sydney’s lower North Shore, the son of documentary filmmaker Frank Heimans, from whom he says he inherited “a very creative streak”, and the way he tells it, was practically born with a brush in his hand. “I’ve always painted, even at school,” says Ralph. “I was the class artist and from a very young age I knew this was what I would do. It’s part of who I am. It’s inseparable.” What Ralph, now 48, couldn’t have imagined back then, was that his passion would take him inside Buckingham Palace, into the private corridors of Windsor Castle and the historic rooms of Fredensborg Palace in Denmark, to meet and paint the most famous subjects…

1. COMPASSION Sit quietly and closely examine a photo of yourself, especially the eyes and the area around the mouth. There you might detect some vulnerability, or some childlike, innocent qualities, and you can start to feel compassion for this person who is doing their best. 2. SOCIAL MEDIA Use Facebook and social media as a practice of generosity rather than a search for validation. Often, we post our experiences on social media to see if other people like them before we even allow ourselves to like those things. We can end up needing others to validate our experiences. 3. FOOD ADDICTION Sit down with a large plate of food in front of you. Take a few breaths through your nose, smelling the food. Now be aware of picking up…

“February is a hard month to love.” It was early February when I first arrived in Australia, more than 40 years ago. I flew from winter in Canada to summer in Brisbane. “Here we are folks,” announced the pilot. “Welcome to Brisbane. Out of the freezer, into the frying pan!” The airport, then called Eagle Farm, didn’t have air-conditioning. Sweat trickled between my shoulder blades and down my back. I decided it was safe to take off my woolly scarf. When another drip ran straight down my nose, I pulled off the heavy coat with the fleecy lining my mother made me bring. Still uncomfortably warm I finally raced to the women’s toilets and took off everything else I decently could. Fortunately the NYMOTH (Not Yet Man of the House)…

Your nails are an important part of your presentation to the world. Fingernails are also important for fine touch and handwork. Toenails have a protective role, especially your big toenail. As a GP, I am often asked about splitting, cracking, ridging, discolouration or white spots on fingernails or toenails. While the main concern is often about the appearance of the nails, the state of your nails can also say a lot about your general health. Here are just a few of the most common problems that can affect your nails, and some advice on how to look after them. Nail injury Toenails, especially, are prone to repeated injury over the years from footwear, sporting injuries and changes due to arthritis. Anyone who has ever hiked or skied in boots that…

TUMMY TROUBLES Iberogast ($44.95 for 100ml from Priceline Pharmacy) can help relieve digestive symptoms including pain, diarrhoea and constipation. ALL SORTS Leukoplast tape (from $5.95 on eBay.com.au) is a must to cover blisters and to retract skin away from ingrown nails or for strapping sprained ankles and plantar CUTS AND SCRAPES Clean, then apply an antiseptic cream to the wound two to three times daily. (Crystaderm, $11.49 for a 15g tube, from Chemist Warehouse.) NAUSEA “Mylanta ($10.50 for 500ml from Priceline Pharmacy) is good for stomach upsets after a hangover,” says Dr David Leaf, from Myhealth Barangaroo Medical Centre.

Char-grilled beef tacos with spring onions & guacamole There is an avenue in Oaxaca with stalls displaying sheets of thin, lightly salted beef. At other stalls you buy the corn tortillas, guacamole, spring onions, coriander and salsa, and sit at long Formica-topped tables with a pile of tortillas to make combinations of the beef. This recipe is based on that experience. SERVES 8 900g rump of beef, very thinly sliced by your butcher into about 12 slices salt 30 whole spring onions olive or corn oil, for brushing 16-24 x 15cm corn tortillas guacamole (see recipe, right) roasted red tomato and chilli salsa (see recipe, far right) lime wedges, to serve 1 Lightly sprinkle beef with ¼ teaspoon of salt and set aside for about 10 minutes. 2 Heat a…

Remember, oil is not like wine – it doesn’t get better with age. The fresher it is, the healthier it is. It’s important to buy Australian extra virgin olive oil as it’s 100 per cent natural. It’s produced by crushing fresh olives and mechanically extracting the pure olive oil from the juice. Beware of products labelled as “light”, “pure olive oil”, or “pomace”. These oils are all refined and subject to chemical processing, which means they have lost much of the healthy properties such as antioxidants, phytosterols and polyphenols present in fresh Australian extra virgin oil, making it the healthiest oil to cook with every day. It’s a myth that cooking with extra virgin olive oil destroys the health benefits. Extra virgin olive oil is very heat stable and has…

Jennifer Byrne REVIEWS ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL, by Sarah Vaughan, Simon & Schuster. Tom and James were the princes of their Oxford college: champions at sport, study and late-night drinking games. Their charisma and connections guaranteed a path to Westminster, where a serious sexual scandal now threatens to overturn James’ political career. Prime Minister Tom does what he can to help his buddy, but what makes this suspense novel so bang up to date is its focus on the women who are used and exploited by these men. The betrayed mistress who takes James to court. The hard-eyed barrister who knew him in his Oxford days, and is determined to make him pay. And the wife who’ll suffer to protect her marriage. Writer Vaughan juggles timelines and characters like a…

It was a dramatic end to an otherwise uneventful day. “I’d been for a run that morning, I’d gone to work and picked up my two youngest kids,” Dr Magdoline Awad recalls. “We had a normal family evening at home. Then my husband and I went to sleep and sometime during the night I had a major seizure. It came out of the blue. I’d always been very healthy.” The 46-year-old vet was rushed to hospital, given a CT scan and diagnosed with a large brain tumour. “It was about six-and-a-half centimetres in diameter,” she explains. “A few days later, I was in hospital having brain surgery.” It was, Magdoline says, an immense physical and emotional upheaval. “In that week before the surgery, I looked at my life and thought,…

An enchanted moment The romance between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has enchanted the whole world, and with the release of three stunning engagement photos, excitement about the wedding has reached fever pitch. The American beauty who stole the heart of the fifth in line to the throne is not only glamorous, but she is a smart and altruistically minded woman who has used fame for the benefit of others. TWICE THE BIRTHDAY EXCITEMENT Crown Princess Mary’s twins celebrated their seventh birthday this month. The youngest Danish royals, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine, were born in Copenhagen on January 8, 2011, with Vincent arriving slightly earlier than his sister. Serena’s new role Serena Williams is not only one of the world’s tennis greats, she’s now the mother of Vogue’s youngest…

Jessica Smith is a dynamo. “I’m currently in early labour and have just opened my emails as a distraction,” the Paralympic swimmer and author responded when The Weekly approached her for an interview. “Why don’t I touch base with you next week?” Answering emails while in labour and making appointments for the first week home with a newborn – who does that? Someone who’s overcome greater obstacles than sleep deprivation and contractions. Jessica was born, 32 years ago, without a left forearm or hand. At 18-months-old, still unused to a new prosthetic limb, she reached across the kitchen counter and knocked over a kettle of boiling water. She suffered third-degree burns to 15 per cent of her body and spent two and a half years in and out of hospital.…

Summer light streams into Monica Hingston’s Victorian home, illuminating the single teardrop travelling down her cheek. Monica, 77, is recalling the greatest love of her life – her partner Peg, who died from cancer in 2011. The depth and quality of their relationship is writ large in Monica’s face. “We connected on every level possible,” Monica says of Peg. “Our temperaments perfectly complemented each other – I miss her beauty. But most of all I miss the sense of touch. We hugged five, six times a day, or just gave each other a flick of the hair. Touch communicates so much without words; her touch would lift my spirit and nourish my soul, flesh to flesh. I still get lots of hugs today. It’s not the same.” A second tear…

On the morning of June 17, 1980, as she prepared scrambled eggs for her boys’ breakfast, Maria James made a strange request. “If something ever happens to me,” she told her 13-year-old son Mark, “I want you to promise me you’ll look after your younger brother.” It was for all intents and purposes a routine morning in the James home. Maria packed the school lunches for Mark and 11-year-old Adam then walked the boys to the school bus. Yet within hours of returning home, the church-going 38-year-old was dead. Maria’s ex-husband John, with whom she’d remained friends, made the grisly discovery of her body lying in a thick pool of blood in her home at the back of her popular Thornbury bookstore in suburban Melbourne. The young mum’s hands were…

“Wearing these pants makes you feel so much worse about yourself.” I’ve developed a compression-tight obsession, which may seem a little odd, considering I’ve long rallied against inactive wearers of activewear, those women with soy decaf latte in one hand, mobile in the other and not a sweat bead on their perfectly made up faces. Generally seen alighting from 4WD vehicles, the only time these women get an increase in heart rate is when they’re notified of a Lululemon 40 per cent off sale. But no, I’m not like them. I’m active in my activewear. Well, as active as you can be when you feel like you’re about to experience total organ failure because you’re so bloody “compressed”. My daughter says they look terrible and that I should take them…

“ It is essential that you get enough beneficial fats in your diet.” Blame it on advancing years, poor diet and lifestyle or overzealous skin care habits, but sensitive skin can strike us well into our forties and beyond. And it’s not just a winter problem – many of us experience summer skin flare ups, thanks to high temperatures and the constant barrage of UV rays. “It comes down to epidermal barrier function,” says dermatologist, Dr Natasha Cook. “A compromised barrier not only allows natural moisturising factors (NMF) within the skin to escape, but also readily permits irritants from the environment to penetrate. “Imagine your skin is a wood panel house and its epidermal barrier, the UV paint, protecting it. When the paint is fresh, it shields the wood, but…

Q My 54-year-old partner has had difficulties with having an erection and reaching orgasm for a few years now. Although Viagra has worked at helping with both of these, the problem is still there so that he needs to take Viagra every time to ensure success. Is there anything more that can be done to fix these difficulties? Or is the only solution taking Viagra? F.A., Tas. Erectile dysfunction is a common problem in men as they get older. There are many physical, psychological and medical causes. Some things he can do to help are to maintain a healthy weight, not smoke, not drink alcohol, exercise regularly, and check if any medications he is taking affect sexual performance. A thorough medical check-up and lifestyle assessment is essential. If there is…

The days of three square meals are long gone. A thoughtfully-chosen snack can tide you over between meals and keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders. However, where many of us come unstuck is our snack selection. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, more than a third of our average energy intake comes from “discretionary foods”, in other words biscuits, chips and confectionery. In order to snack smarter, dietitian Jessica Spendlove says our perception of snacks as “guilty treats” needs a readjustment. “When done well, snacks can add much nutritional value and boost energy levels,” Jessica says. “But when done poorly they offer minimal nutritional value and excess kilojoule intake, leading to a drop in energy levels.” Before your next snack attack hits, consider these nutritionist-recommended criteria. Powered by…

Loss is a powerful thing, devastating and all-consuming, but it can also be an inspiring force for renewal and adventure. At least that is what Wendy Whiteley discovered when, following the death of her soul mate, iconic Australian artist Brett Whiteley, she threw her emotion into transforming an overgrown valley of scrubland, lantana and mounting rubbish into a magical secret garden. That was back in 1992 and more than 25 years later the garden, which sits on public land stretching out below Wendy’s home in North Sydney’s Lavender Bay and rolls down to the harbour, is a cherished haven for locals seeking tranquillity amid nature, and a new tourist destination for art and flora and fauna aficionados. Indeed, on the day of our photo shoot, a tour group on bicycles…

SIZZLING SHOW Courtney Act, the first openly queer and gender diverse contestant on Australia Idol, is set to dazzle with her show, Under the Covers. Taking songs from artists such as Dolly Parton, the Spice Girls and Queen, she’ll strip them and flip them to show just how gender and genre fluid they are.

AT THE MOVIES FINDING YOUR FEET Imelda Staunton (above) stars as “Lady” Sandra Abbott, who, after discovering her husband’s affair, seeks refuge with her estranged older sister, Bif (Celia Imrie).
