Innholdsfortegnelse for 1733 i Woman's Day

In this job I can’t deny I occasionally come in handy for pub trivia teams. But the truth is, my area of expertise is targeted squarely in my beloved early ’90s. If you recall hypercolour undies, the “Jen” haircut or ever attending a Melrose Place party (or, if you were cool enough, all those things at once), then you’ll be very happy with this copy of Woman’s Day you hold in your hands! Firstly, an update on ’90s goddess Celine Dion (p24), a super fun Seinfeld quiz (p32 – we know you watched that show on loop!) and an update on the Solo Man from the soft drink ads (p35). Safe to say, you’ll be fully stoked !…

‘Patti thinks the baby will be the making of Matt’ Patti Newton couldn’t be happier as son Matthew counts down the days until he becomes a dad for the first time ever – in what she thinks will be his best role yet. And Patti will help raise her newest grandchild just as she has done with daughter Lauren’s gorgeous kids. “Having another grandchild would be heaven for Patti,” confides one of her closest friends. “She just adores her grandkids – they really are her world, apart from Bert, of course. She can’t wait to meet Matt’s baby.” Matthew, who has made a new life for himself in New York, marked his 40th birthday earlier this year with a quiet celebration with fiancee Catherine Schneiderman, 24, who last week proudly…

‘Amanda told me she was leaving me for Adro’ Mikele Sarnelli was over the moon when, after years of being estranged from his brother, The Biggest Loser winner Adro Sarnelli, the pair reconciled on a family holiday last October and finally got their relationship back on track. But the fairytale family reunion didn’t last long, and just months later Adro committed the ultimate betrayal – running off with his brother’s wife, Amanda. Now Mikele, from Newcastle in NSW, says he’s done with his fitness fanatic brother from the Gold Coast and hopes he’ll never see him again. Recounting the heartbreaking tale to Woman’s Day, betrayed Mikele can barely contain his emotions. “Adro and I had a falling out years ago, but when Amanda and I decided to take the girls…

‘She makes you feel welcome, like you belong to the family’ Earlier this year, Celine Dion insisted it was “definitely too soon” for her to find love again following the death of her husband Rene Angelil. But 18 months after his tragic passing, it seems the singer has found a man who is helping to heal her heart. The pop icon, 49, has been spending increasing amounts of time with her back-up dancer Pepe Munoz, a handsome Spaniard 17 years her junior, leading many to believe they are now officially a couple. Woman’s Day spotted the pair enjoying an intimate dinner in Paris late last month, and onlookers in France say it seems Pepe is very much Celine’s new squeeze, after they were spotted arm-in-arm outside the Ritz Hotel in…

There aren’t many women who’d be understanding enough to let their husband go on a TV show when they’re seven months pregnant. But Sticks, whose real name is Mark, says his wife Terri was just glad to be rid of him! “I think she was stoked to have me out of her hair,” says the 31-year-old carpenter with a cheeky laugh. “She was really supportive and could see the bigger picture – that it would be good for our family. She just said jump on it. If you can get on it, do it!” Thankfully, the couple, who already have 15-month old son Kanoa, were lucky enough to have the support of family living close by their home on the NSW South Coast. “My parents live five minutes away and…

Queen of the hun She may be the Duchess of Cambridge, but when it comes to the hun, Kate is the reigning queen. This is the kind of hairstyle that looks elegant on every occasion. 4 reasons why you’ll love it 1 GROWING OUT A FRINGE? Turn the bun into a topknot to help blend those pesky short hairs you want to hide into your hairstyle. 2 LACK VOLUME? Even those with fine hair can give this style a go. Tease a little volume into the crown of your hair before you pin it back. 3 GOT DIRTY LOCKS? It’s the perfect way to counter a flat and greasy ’do. First prep it with dry shampoo, then position the bun into place. 4 BOB CUT? As long as you’ve got…

What is Rolfing? “It’s the manipulation of soft tissue that directly affects the posture and body structure over a 10-week treatment period,” explains Savanna Rose, a massage therapist from Blys Mobile Massage. “Where massage focuses on relaxation and relief of targeted muscle pain, Rolfing’s goal is to improve overall body alignment. This also helps with pain relief.” When the body becomes more aligned, chronic pain is alleviated. How is it different from other massages? “Rolfing is an interactive treatment,” says Savanna. “It’s not something you have done to your body, like a massage. You’ll actively be doing stretches or movements while the Rolfer does specific manipulations.” How many sessions will I need? “While you can receive a single treatment, Rolfing was designed as a series of 10 sessions that work…

Start by removing all the weeds, along with any old or dead shrubs that are taking up too much room and then prune back anything else that’s become unruly. Don’t be scared to prune quite hard – as a rule of thumb, the majority of plants can be reduced by a third without any harm being done. By pruning now you’ll give space for and promote fresh new growth. It’s also a good time to fill any bare spots with perennials (see ‘Did you know’, above right). Enrich your soil with well rotted manure if you can get it, or a simple soil conditioner such as compost will also work a treat. Turn this through the soil to aid in de-compacting and aerating the ground ready for planting out in…

Leo JUL 24– AUG 23  Your enthusiasm is impressive, but speed isn’t everything. Differing viewpoints need to be discussed, not just at work, but with family too, so make time to talk. Towards the weekend, an exciting coincidence could draw a special person back into your life, while couples might embark on a magical trip down memory lane. Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23 Looking after yourself? With so much going on, the answer is probably “no”. Eclipses can stir things up, so ease your foot off the accelerator before an underlying health problem forces a slow-down. If your romantic streak surfaces, catch a melodrama or enjoy a candlelit dinner with someone special. Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23 “They did WHAT?” Surprising news might get everyone talking, but with…

Debra Lawrance famously played Pippa #2 on Home And Away, and won her first TV Week Logie this year for her role on Please Like Me, at 60. Now the TV veteran is tackling celeb reality TV! What made you apply for Hell’s Kitchen? Three words – Marco Pierre White! If you ask any woman of a certain age, they’ll admit to swooning over him [Marco is 55].

‘If you can embrace change in life, you’ll be more content’ With her dazzling smile and a halo of blonde hair, it’s hard to believe TV legend Kerri-Anne Kennerley will celebrate her 64th birthday next month. While some age gracefully, KAK just seems to get better with age – despite a series of setbacks and personal tragedies, including her husband and soulmate John’s horror fall in March last year, which left him a quadriplegic. And this month she’s celebrated in a Fabulous At Every Age special edition of Harper’s Bazaar, saying John remains a “huge source of inspiration” after the freak accident that almost cost him his life. “If you can embrace change in life, you’ll be better at life, more content, and you’ll achieve more in life,” she tells…

‘I never wanted the money... Liberating after the shock’ With his purple rinse, pointy glasses and “hello, possums” catchcry, flamboyant Barry Humphries – aka Dame Edna Everage – has made a career out of making people laugh, but his art-dealer son Oscar doesn’t seem to be smiling, claiming the comedian cut him out of his will! Insiders say the relationship between Barry, 83, and Oscar, 36, a former drug addict, has deteriorated in recent years. However, few realised things had become so bad that the Aussie entertainer might block Oscar – one of his four children – from his $14.9 million fortune. Oscar revealed on social media last week that he’s dropped his illustrious surname in favour of his middle name Valentine. “Changing my name. F*** you for disinheriting me…

‘I showed Jocelyn the ring and she was in heaven’ The world’s most famous divorcee is set to say “I do” for a second time, just months after she was arrested after a violent bust-up with her now-fiance Lloyd Klein in their New York apartment. Famed US socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, who made headlines when she landed a record settlement of $2.5 billion after divorcing her first husband Alec Wildenstein in 1999, was reportedly thrilled when Lloyd presented her with a 32-carat diamond ring worth millions at the Versace Mansion in Miami last month. While it’s not known how much the ring cost, it’s so expensive that Jocelyn, 71, has only worn it on a few special occasions. She also has two armed bodyguards to take the sparkler – which Lloyd…

‘The doctors didn’t know if she’d have brain damage’ Snapping selfies with her goddaughter as she geared up to see her idol Adele in concert, Megan Nicholson was the picture of health. With her 47th birthday a week away, her adoring husband Andrew had splurged on a VIP ticket so his wife could get up close and personal with the singing sensation, who she refers to as her “girl crush”. But the generous gift would almost be the mother-of-two’s last, after she went into cardiac arrest just over an hour into the sold-out show at ANZ Stadium in March. “I feel like I’ve been kissed by the angels,” Megan tells Woman’s Day exclusively from her home in Sydney. “I was dead. My family almost lost me. I am their universe.”…

The biggest buzz in skincare right now is superfoods! With potent antioxidants to combat ageing, they can help heal, hydrate, clarify and impart untold radiance when applied to your skin. “They pack more punch than a single vitamin or mineral alone,” explains Zoe Devine, skincare expert at Skinstitut. “You’re receiving the benefit of an entire range of nutrients that work in synergy within the food to maximise its benefits. “For example, vitamin C is the perfect anti-ageing skincare ingredient but, by itself, it’s tricky to keep stable, which can affect its efficacy. If we use a vitamin C-rich superfood, other nutrients in that food will ensure you get the most stable and effective form of vitamin C from the ingredient.” Green tea With strong antioxidant and anti-ageing benefits, green tea…

It’s raining but that won’t stop my fellow passengers and me seeing what we came for – a run of magical castles lining the banks of the Rhine River. Standing on the sundeck of the River Empress, rugged up against the elements, we take photos of the historic, centuries-old buildings perched high on hills overlooking the river. They’re magical, and our wonderful cruise director Jessi tells us their stories so we get a real glimpse into each one’s history. This is the fifth day of our eight-day Castles Along The Rhine cruise – and it’s the most “castle-congested” part of the river. Not that we’ve been slack on the sightseeing – not at all! Starting in Switzerland’s Basel, with its classic medieval old town and impressive red Rathaus (town hall),…

Santorini dream! I had the best time soaking up the Aegean sun and seeing all the archaeological sites on breathtaking Santorini, Greece, with my mum Madeleine, brother Jack and sister Rebecca. Lavinia Mangos , Double Bay NSW Modern family The question has to be asked, should we have a plebiscite or a referendum on marriage equality? As a progressive Irish-Australian baby boomer who has been married for 24 years, with two children, I realise how times have changed, so what gives me the right to decide on something I know nothing about? This country is built on fairness, equality, camaraderie and community spirit, so it’s time to embrace change. My parents in Ireland are 94 years old and have seen a lot of changes since 1921. They say, “Well, it…

‘They still like a bit of rough and tumble’ He will one day be king, but Prince William is adamant he wants his children to have as normal a childhood as possible. So behind the walls of their home in Norfolk, he and the Duchess of Cambridge are ensuring Prince George and Princess Charlotte have plenty of relaxed family time and play.

‘Leah is a great storyteller... She forgets sometimes what she’s saying’ She’s ruffled feathers for all the wrong reasons and hasn’t been shy about saying what she really thinks of the other girls vying for Matty’s affection. But there’s one subject Melbourne-based Leah refuses to elaborate on – her past wedding proposals. “I’ve been proposed to by three guys,” Leah, 25, told Woman’s Day at a pre-show photoshoot. “I was 20, 21 and 22 years old at the time, and sort of accepted one of them.” Since the show went to air last month, though, she’s refused to answer further questions about how the proposals went down, snapping, “Can we not talk about it?” And according to a source close to the former topless waitress and new Bachelor villain, she’s…

When neighbours Anson and Nieve walk to school together each morning with their mums, they’re accompanied by their dogs Luna and Paco – who are inseparable. So close are the pair of pups, the children, both 11, decided they should officially be married. Three-year-old Luna, a puggle, and shih tzu Paco, two, barked their “I dos” in a touching backyard ceremony earlier this year. While the dogs’ big day didn’t come cheap, Anson’s mum Hayley Windsor from Ipswich in England says it was incredibly touching. “It was so gorgeous. Paco and Luna couldn’t stop kissing and licking each other,” she says, adding the cost of a bespoke wedding dress, jewelled collars, food and entertainment quickly added up – to $8000! “We figured if we were going to do it, we…

Do AVOID DARKNESS Unlike contouring, strobing seeks to enhance features using only light – not light and dark. So, it uses highlighters to bring features forward. Using bronzer or darker colours can leave a muddy result.

A study has shown 65 per cent of Australians haven’t visited the dentist in more than two years, and 25 per cent of adults only brush their teeth once a day. But looking after your chompers shouldn’t be a luxury. It takes just five minutes a day to include these tips in your routine. 1 To remove plaque build-up from the front and back of your teeth, brush morning and night, for two minutes. 2 Limit your intake of sugars in both foods and beverages. Its regular consumption is the number-one cause of tooth decay. 3 Floss at least once a day. Brushing doesn’t get between the teeth, where bacteria that cause decay, gum disease and bad breath can harbour. 4 Drink plenty of water, to help wash away food.…

What can we expect from the challenges? The contestants give it their all, with some of the closest battles we’ve ever seen. What do you enjoy most about filming? The unpredictability. With every new cast a totally different game evolves. Any downsides? Being away from my family for three months. Like with any child, things are changing rapidly with my daughter [Tilly] and I really want to be around as much as possible to be part of that magic. Were there any touch-and-go moments on set? A tropical storm came through and we had to stop filming for five hours because the lightning was so close. That was hairy! Do you feel differently going into series two? Yes. Older and more tired. Could you ever take part? I like to…
