Innholdsfortegnelse for 1814 i Woman's Day

Iwouldn’t say stingy, but the Easter Bunny wasn’t overly generous when I was growing up. I recall maybe an egg with some Smarties inside at the end of a seemingly infinite calendar of church services. And while I’ve made up for it in recent years (hundreds of little eggs hidden around the house, cake baking, Easter bonnets – the whole shebang), this year, I’m calling the Easter Bunny to request he return to the 1970s school of giving! Whatever your speed this Easter, we’ve got you covered – from a yummy Good Friday shepherdless pie to a hot cross bun pull-apart made in minutes! From me, the budget bunny, and the Woman’s Day team, have a safe, happy Easter break.…

‘George is telling them they should be singing it from the rooftops’ After weeks of tiptoeing around, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are no longer keeping their rekindled romance a secret – and it’s all because their old friend George Clooney has encouraged them to come out of hiding! “George has been their biggest supporter all along and loves that they’ve been seeing each other. He keeps telling them they should be singing it from the rooftops,” a source reveals. “He also knows the Hollywood scene better than anyone, and wants to see this happy news come out on their terms.” KEEPING IT PRIVATE As Woman’s Day has previously reported, Brad, 54, and Jen, 49, first reconnected after his split from Angelina Jolie in late 2016, with the exes slowly…

‘He’s changed passwords on her phone, stolen her diary’ It was January when neighbours of Steve and Rosie Jacobs in Vanuatu’s exclusive Dream Cove gated community realised just how horrible the once celebrated marriage of the famous weatherman and his wife had become. And it was the charred remains of the mattress Steve, 51, had shared with Rosie, 39, left on the lawn of their beautiful beachfront house that acted as a constant reminder of a marriage ruined by his allegedly aggressive behaviour. “I don’t know if Steve burnt it, but I do know Rosie didn’t,” explains one friend, who says the “toxic” breakdown of the marriage has been the talk of the ex-pat community on the honeymoon island in the South Pacific for weeks. Explosive court documents obtained by…

Right about now Karl Stefanovic may be living to regret baiting Georgie Gardner to “step up” because according to trusted sources at Nine, the mother-of-two has done much more than “sit on the fence” in the wake of the Today anchor’s scandalous Uber-gate comments. Left publicly humiliated after the extent of Karl and his brother Peter’s backstabbing was revealed in a shocking 45-minute phone call that was sold by an Uber driver to the highest bidder, fiercely proud Georgie has told friends she’s determined not to take Karl and Peter’s humiliating slurs lying down. And while Karl, 43, is reportedly still walking around set like he’s Nine’s untouchable golden boy, our insider tells us the highest paid man on Australian TV might have had his last laugh. BIG PROBLEM “The…

NO MORE HARSH SCRUBS Are rough exfoliating mitts causing skin irritation and worsening other skin conditions? Swap them for oil-infused scrubs like Salt By Hendrix Body Buff Coffee & Marula Oil $22.95 to smooth and moisturise skin pre and post-tanning. NO MORE DRYING FORMULAS Tanning mousses and sprays generally don’t have as many moisturising properties in their formulas.

Never forget self-reflection is key Taking time to reflect on how you interact with your nearest and dearest is the best way to ensure you’re being the best friend you can be. “I think we’re often thinking about how people treat us and sometimes we forget what we’re putting into the friendship and how we’re treating others,” relationship coach Jacqui Manning tells. “I’ve gone through times in my life where I’ve neglected my friends a little, maybe because family or work was demanding more of my time, so I do think it’s important for all of us to reflect [on what kind of friend we’re being] from time to time.” Touch base when you can The beauty of securing close friends is picking up right where you left off –…

I admit it! I’m a self-confessed hoarder – I’ve still got jeans and outfits I bought in New York in the ’70s! – and I’ve been through a decluttering phase. There was no intervention, but I had the urge to clear out and clean out. It started after my husband John’s accident with bathroom cabinets, then kitchen cabinets, living room and bedroom ornaments and then finally just stuff. I just needed to tidy up my environment when all else was spinning out of control. My mind can cope better without lots of clutter wherever I look, and the change was refreshing. I decided not to buy anything new unless I really needed it, and instead recycled and moved things about in order to declutter. I’m still figuring out what serves…

Luck and opportunity can be created, or arrive out of the blue for some. There’s an order, a spiritual perfect moment. Even though Orange Is The New Black star Yael Stone is seeing more notable fame, soon her most precious role – to become a mother – will arrive. And she’ll go straight back into work after giving birth. I don’t know why, but Some Like It Hot starring Marilyn Monroe is being spoken to me. If she keeps her eyes open, Yael will surprise herself and have an acting hit on her hands. I see a remake with a team of girls.…

CARLY & TROY: WE’RE HAVING A BABY! They’ve kept their love story under wraps for months, so it’s little wonder Troy Delmege and Carly Bowyer have put their relationship on fast-forward now they’re finally able to go public! As well as revealing that Troy, 34, has already moved into Carly’s pad in Melbourne, the lovebirds insist they’re in tune when it comes to taking their fast-moving relationship to the next level. “We’re going to see how it goes living together but we’re definitely on the same page,” says 32-year-old Carly. And given the pair can barely keep their hands off each other, it wouldn’t be at all surprising if a big baby announcement comes sooner rather than later. “We’re both affectionate people and on our first date we couldn’t get…

They say it’s the little things in life that truly count. So when former Big Brother winner Reggie Sorensen woke up on her 44th birthday last week, the breakfast in bed lovingly prepared by her two kids Mia, 10, and Lucas, eight, was the best present she could have hoped for. “After the hugs and kisses, little Mia said, ‘Mummy, I have something for you – please don’t cry when you read it.’ I was finished after the first line – I couldn’t believe her beautiful words,” Reggie tells Woman’s Day from her home on the Gold Coast. “By the end, I must’ve used an entire box of tissues!” she admits. In the letter Mia writes, “Mummy, I love you so much, I can’t tell you how much,” and, “If…

Stock up on salmon Fish such as salmon and mackerel are high in omega-3s fatty acids, which have an anti-inflammatory effect in the body. Consuming this fish regularly will help you keep your gums healthy. Remember, wild salmon is better than farmed.

Also, oranges are high in vitamin C, which strengthens the collagen within your gums. They also keep your…

With his cheeky smile and tearful declarations of love for Sarah Roza, it was hard not to love Telv Williams on Married At First Sight. But it was all a con, according to a friend of Sarah’s who is angry at how Telv’s TV wife has been left shaken and hurt after the marriage experiment turned sour. “Telv is an affable, nice fellow, but he has an explosive and cruel temper,” says the friend, pointing to Valentine’s Day as the day the pair finally called it off, when an argument led to Sarah almost calling the police. “Most of their rows were over Telv not being around. He was absent all of the time, often on drunken benders with mates that would last several days. “One time, he posted to…

It’s no secret our hands are the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing. Pigmentation, dryness and wrinkles are all common concerns, but these often get overlooked – leading to hands looking a lot older than you do! When you’re next applying skin soothing serums, moisturisers and masks to your face, don’t neglect your all-important paws… BANISH BROWN SPOTS Years of unprotected exposure to UV rays can result in small brown marks or age spots on the skin.

Last year the Lake District became the first national park in the UK to be named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s thanks to Beatrix that so much of this beautiful land was saved.

Time to do the MAFS I just loved Married at First Sight. We would have an earlier dinner then you would see me in my wheelchair in front of the TV waiting for it to come on. So after buying my weekly Woman’s Day I was so disappointed to read that many of the husbands were not true to their wives. I had hopes for many of them. Glennys Galvin, Wynnum, Qld Reeling them in John said he was going to rustproof the car with fishoilene. “Is that made from fish?” I asked. “I guess so,” he replied, “after all, fish live in salt water and you never see a rusty fish!” Barbara Jameson , Normanhurst, NSW My community spirit I am known as the unofficial trolley collector for…
