Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 33, 2021 i Woman's Day Magazine NZ

It’s another bumper royal issue of Woman’s Day, with Prince George starting his training to be king, his uncle Harry still spilling his guts and their cousin Lady Kitty getting married to a man twice her age – plus there’s a royal puzzle special starting on page 45! And for my fellow reality TV addicts, we’ve also got 10 pages with all the goss from The Block NZ, MasterChef and the upcoming series of Celebrity Treasure Island. Despite a severe storm and a COVID lockdown making things tricky, I joined the Treasure Island stars in the Far North for filming, so stay tuned for all the juiciest stories. Meanwhile, on page 32, we talk to Kiwi karate queen Andrea Anacan, who will be going for gold in Tokyo this week.…

‘He already displays qualities of a natural-born leader’ Dressed in a crisp suit with a perfectly knotted tie as he cheered on the English soccer team, young Prince George carried himself with remarkable maturity and dignity at the recent Euro Cup final – aside from an adorable flash of unbridled jubilation when his team scored a goal. Despite his tender years, it was a sign of things to come for the little prince, who is destined to rule the Commonwealth as king. A week after the football match, Kensington Palace shared a photo of George – snapped by his mother, the Duchess of Cambridge – to mark his eighth birthday. This time, he was dressed in a casual polo shirt and flashed a toothy grin reminiscent of his dad Prince…

With his big smile and can-do attitude, boilermaker Brent Draper quickly became a fan favourite on MasterChef Australia. But although he was nailing the challenges in the kitchen, behind closed doors, the 31-year-old was struggling with his mental health. “The homesickness was massive,” Brent tells Woman’s Day. “With my wife Shonleigh and our two-year-old Alfie, I didn’t know how much I’d miss them until I went away for a long period. And then with the pressure of cooking and TV, it was just multiplying everything.” With anxiety not far below the surface, Brent started having sleepless nights and panic attacks. “Shon was my support,” he says. “It got so bad, I couldn’t go to sleep without talking to her. When I’d fall asleep, she’d hang up.” Thankfully, with his wife’s…

Tiger Lily Hutchence is officially in wedding-planning mode after going public with the news that she’s engaged to her rocker partner Nicholas Allbrook. Woman’s Day can exclusively confirm the happy news just after unearthing pictures of the late Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates’ daughter displaying a stunning diamond on her ring finger as she poses with her friend and fellow musician Scarlett Stevens at a recent party. Tiger, who turned 25 on July 22, is believed to have become engaged to Nick in Perth last year, but only told close friends and family, including her dad’s US-based sister Tina Hutchence. SPIRITUAL CONNECTION She moved to Fremantle to be with Perth-born and raised Nick, 33 – frontman of psychedelic rock band Pond and former member of Tame Impala – after they…

When Jimmy Barnes spied dark-haired stunner Jane Mahoney at an event in Canberra in November 1979, the Aussie rock legend knew she was The One. All that stood between them was the fact that she wasn’t quite as interested – and that he was dating not one, but two other women at the time! Despite the Cold Chisel frontman’s somewhat awkward prior commitments – and the fact Jane put him in a taxi and ended their first night separately – he must have made an impression because she agreed to spend the following day with him – and married him two years later. In his biography Working Class, Man, Jimmy wrote, “I’d met a lot of girls in my life, but no one had ever stopped me in my tracks…

Q My two sons passed away just 16 months of each other. We miss them terribly. Birds have been around a lot. Are they sending them to us? They seem quite cheeky. Barbara MITCHELL SAYS Your wonderful sons Peter and Jony are coming through from Spirit together and sending their love to everyone. Peter says he was there to collect his brother Jony when he passed. Your sons are so pleased you’ve been noticing the cheeky birds. They have been sending them to you as a special sign. QI put my sick little dog to sleep. Should I get him cremated? If I moved, would he still be around me? Deeply distressed MITCHELL SAYS I can see your little dog running through a beautiful open field in Heaven. He is…

With endless entertainment, food and even dating options at our fingertips thanks to smartphones, it’s seldom we find ourselves without something to occupy us. As a result, our experiences with boredom are fleeting. We might feel the panic begin to build when episodes of our latest Netflix binge run out, or friends go quiet in the group chat, but it’s rarely more than a few moments. Modern society has led us to believe boredom is something to avoid at all costs, but science suggests the contrary is true. EXTRA CREATIVITY At its core, boredom is the result of a lack of stimulation, says Dr Amy Silver, psychologist and author of The Loudest Guest. “It can occur when we’re not stretched by what is required of us or not stimulated enough…

‘I can see myself having children at some point’ It wasn’t a royal wedding, but Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer’s nuptials were just as grand, if not more so! The 30-year-old daughter of the Earl Spencer wore five custom-made Dolce & Gabbana gowns, each more breathtaking than the last, throughout the celebration of her marriage to millionaire fashion mogul Michael Lewis, 62, which took place at an historic palazzo in Frascati, Italy. Kitty’s cousins Princes William and Harry weren’t in attendance, and neither was her father Charles, leaving her to be walked down the aisle by her brother Louis and half-brother Samuel Aiken. Insiders say the bride’s relationship with the earl has “cooled noticeably” since he married his third wife Karen. Dubbed the “naughty niece” and “queen of party…

She used to have a little, now she has a whole lot! Jennifer Lopez was living her best life as she and on-again boyfriend Ben Affl eck celebrated her 52nd birthday in the South of France. It appeared to be 2002 all over again aboard a luxury $130 million mega-yacht as Ben, 48, got to grips with the singer’s curves in a scene reminiscent of her Jenny From The Block music video, which the pair filmed when they were first together. “They sailed around from Monaco and went to St Tropez,” reports an onlooker. “Ben and J.Lo spent time laying on the top deck and making out. They couldn’t get enough of each other.” The singer was having a blast on her special day, giving fans a glimpse of the…

Talented cook Hayley Bilton has always wanted to make a difference, but it took a reality show, a pandemic and having a baby to point the Papamoa local towards the path she was destined for. Fans of MasterChef New Zealand might remember her as the favourite to win the sixth series, before she was dramatically cut from the show’s penultimate episode after undercooking her lamb. It left her and viewers shocked. Fast-forward six years and Hayley, 37, now runs a thriving family food business alongside her fiancé Shane Snaddon. She laughs, “I still feel like my last dish on MasterChef was the best. When I had to leave the show, I was devastated, but I’ve worked harder for the success I have now than if it had been handed to…

Three years ago, Olympic hopeful Andrea Anacan’s parents worried that their daughter was too focused on the sport she loved to look for love in a different form. From the age of four, she had been totally committed to karate and was now competing at international competitions, but mum Mary Ann and dad Ellya wondered if it might be time for their daughter to find a partner, settle down and have some children. “In my mid-twenties, if I wasn’t going hard with karate, I’d be at work or at church,” the petite 30-year-old from Auckland tells Woman’s Day. “I hadn’t had a boyfriend since I was 21, so my parents were getting worried. My mum would say, ‘I want grandkids,’ and Dad sat me down for a serious talk, saying…

A bit of personality AMANDA SAYS Spud comes through and shows me a bit of an attitude. I then see he’s in quite a bit of pain at times with arthritis. Spud shows me he has a strong personality but would never hurt anyone. He tells me he absolutely adores his human brother (his mum’s son) and they are the best of mates. Spud apologises for getting a bit cranky at times, and tells his mum that all the herbs, oils and natural products are certainly helping him a lot.

However, Spud has no intention of meeting other dogs and tells Cheree he…

Are you a serial dry shampoo user, can’t leave the house without a spritz of hairspray or love a hair balm to keep things sleek? If that’s you, then you might want to reconsider your hair-cleansing routine as that stuff doesn’t just wash out with your normal shampoo and conditioner. Product build-up needs a little extra help – and that’s where a scalp product comes into play. Luckily, we’ve rounded up the best of the bunch to get your strands back on track. HOW DO SCALP SCRUBS WORK? As with any other area of skin, exfoliation is essential for keeping the scalp in optimal condition as it sheds dead skin and produces sebum in the same manner.

Smashing it! BALDWIN KIDS It was game, set, match (literally!) when Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s kids – Carmen, seven, Rafael, six, Leonardo, four, and Romeo, three – took to the court.

At the age of 95, it was hoped by courtiers that the Queen could enjoy the twilight of her magnificent 69-year reign. After all, no one could ever have predicted that her grandson Prince Harry – rumoured to be her favourite – would seemingly make it his mission to make the end of her era as sovereign a living hell. Harry’s vendetta against the royal family took a nasty turn when it was recently revealed the 36-year-old had signed a four-book publishing deal, with part two of his memoir marked for release once his grandmother has passed away. “The Queen has put up with a lot,” a palace insider tells Woman’s Day. “She has stoically sat by as Harry and his wife aired their one-sided story on Hollywood shows and…

The TV heart-throb of the ’90s, Home And Away hunk Dieter Brummer’s face appeared on countless magazine covers and on bedroom walls across Australia, New Zealand and the UK. In his role as Shane Parrish, alongside Melissa George’s Angel, the actor became one half of soap’s most iconic couples. While mourning the loss of the charismatic 45-year-old actor, whose body was found at his parents’ home in Glenhaven in Sydney’s north-west on July 24, his friends are keen for people to remember the cheeky, generous, sensitive man they knew and loved. “I’m still in shock. I only spoke to him a short time ago,” Tina Thomsen, who played Finlay Roberts on the TVNZ 2 soap, tells Woman’s Day. “How could I not have known how lonely he was... how much…

Foundation & concealer Once foundation or concealer starts to separate or dry up, throw it! To extend its life, be sure to keep your fingers out of the bottle and opt for one with a nozzle or pump so you can squeeze it onto the back of your hand before applying with a brush.

Cooking is a great way for kids to lay the foundation for healthy eating habits. It is also an excellent way for younger children to practise basic maths and science concepts, and develop language skills while building their self-confidence. MasterChef Australia winner Callum Hann explains why getting kids confident in the kitchen is essential. Wellbeing There’s a strong link between children who learn to cook at a young age, and their overall health and enjoyment of food later in life. Kids who spend time in the kitchen are more likely to try new foods and have a balanced and varied diet. This decreases the risk of obesity, heart disease and type two diabetes, to name a few advantages! Adventurous eaters If kids learn to enjoy the whole process – from…
