Innholdsfortegnelse for 1826 i Woman's Day

As the world’s coldest person (yes, I do keep a blanket at my desk and yes, I have been known to use it in summer), I’ve ashamedly become a hermit as the winter chill sets in. But this week, thanks to the Woman’s Day lifestyle team’s amazing new soup recipes, I’ve got plenty to keep me busy and warm as I enjoy a few welcome nights in front of the telly (p42). And my 10-month-old puppy Raf – who like me can’t seem to drag herself away from the heater – is in for a treat, too. That’s right, we’ve even got some delicious recipes and diet tips for your furry friends (p68)!…

‘Carrie is sitting back wondering why Lisa is paid so much’ Carrie Bickmore was furious when it was revealed Ten had secured Today’s Lisa Wilkinson for $2 million to “save” The Project, and insiders fear the show isn’t big enough for the two stars. “There’s a lot of tension behind the scenes,” says one producer, who reveals Carrie feels humiliated as more details of Lisa’s massive deal emerge. “Lisa is getting paid all that money for just two nights a week on camera, and she wants all the best stories here and overseas. Now she wants her air dates changed. Where does that leave Carrie?” Ten has gone to great lengths to hose down rumours of a feud between the two women, and both Carrie, 37, and Lisa, 58, have…

Woman’s Day can reveal the talented singer shared a top-secret hook-up with her ex in Los Angeles earlier this year, sparking hopes they would reunite after their split in 2012.

The bitter divorce battle between Angelina Jolie and her estranged husband Brad Pitt has taken a dramatic turn, with a judge ordering the actress to share custody of their six children with Brad temporarily. According to leaked court documents, the Superior Court of Los Angeles County determined “not having a relationship with their father would be harmful” to their kids. “It’s critical each child has a healthy and strong relationship with both parents.” In light of this new development, Brad – who’s only seen his kids under the watchful eye of a therapist since the couple’s nasty split in September 2016 – can enjoy more alone time with Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine. The judge deemed their eldest son Maddox, 16, old enough…

Raise your hand if you’ve ever doubted yourself or got in the way of reaching a goal. Lots of arms are waving around in the air, right? Self-sabotage is an issue that affects so many people and can really hinder us from reaching our full potential. “Self-sabotage is a type of self-defeating behaviour that interferes with our ability to move forward,” says master certified coach Tracy Tresidder. “We often don’t recognise it’s happening,” she adds. Pinpointing the origin While the causes for people to self-sabotage can be unique, according to certified life coach Jennie Hill, the habit usually stems from one of two stages of life. “It can arise from childhood,” Jennie says. “It may be the youngest child was always cared for by older siblings, and so they developed…

Turmeric This superfood-like spice has amazing anti-inflammatory agents and can soothe digestion issues in your pooch. It’s great for their joints, too – especially in the older dogs. Ginger Ginger helps with bloating and arthritis. It can also assist with your dog’s upset tummy and, perhaps most surprisingly, nausea. If your dog doesn’t travel well and gets a little car sick, then a bit of fresh ginger powder before the trip could really assist with its nausea. Coconut This can help fight viruses, boost its immune system, support metabolic function and benefit bone health. Wholemeal flour This ingredient is triple-sifted unbleached flour made from the entire grain, so it’s much higher in fibre and is easier digested by our furry friends than white flour, which has higher gluten content. Cinnamon…

For years they’ve been plagued by rumours of infidelity and a sham marriage. But the situation reached fever pitch last week when allegations surfaced David was having an affair with his six-year-old daughter Harper’s school teacher and had even gotten her pregnant! The shock accusations emerged online and it wasn’t long before Twitter exploded. One of the earliest tweets was from Lee Mara: “Right apparently... David Beckham has got his daughter’s teacher pregnant and they are getting a divorce.” When someone asked how he knew this, he added, “Can’t say how I know... but I know.” While no one could be sure where the gossip originated from, fans revealed their shock and heartbreak over David’s alleged actions. Several people called the footballer “trash” and others admitted they weren’t surprised. The…

It’s a picture-perfect pairing even by Hollywood standards. Six years after they last dated, Charlize Theron and Alexander Skarsgard have rekindled their romance – and sources say they’re crazy about each other! “This is a very passionate romance. It has huge potential, because neither Charlize nor Alexander wants to hold back this time around,” tells a source close to the genetically blessed duo, who are filming the upcoming comedy Flarsky. “They’re two very similar people who share the same laid-back yet focused outlook on life. Of course, the physical attraction between them is off the charts, but they’ve also bonded on everything from pop culture and entertainment, to sports and travel,” the source adds. News of the power couple pairing emerged when American magazine Life & Style revealed the actor…

She’s the self-confessed “bogan” Bachelorette who was left heartbroken earlier this year while he’s the cheeky Sydney-based tradie who failed to find love on Married At First Sight.

And he’s always there for her, especially since she’s been feeling pretty homesick while filming all the way over in Europe. “As for Ryan, he’s really opened up to her about stuff he’d never usually share. He also loves the fact…

When Farrah Fawcett was dying of cancer in 2009, her only child Redmond O’Neal visited her on a jail pass and promised he would overcome his demons to become the man she so desperately wanted him to be. The beautiful Charlie’s Angels superstar died just days later, aged 62, shocking family and friends after it was revealed she had left her troubled son the bulk of her estate, an incredible inheritance estimated at almost $6 million. “I have all this money but it’s not worth anything, it does me no good,” Redmond told Woman’s Day last week in a world exclusive interview from Los Angeles Men’s Central Jail, where he is being held after his latest arrest for armed robbery and, now, attempted murder. “The only thing I want to…

BILL SPEDDING ‘I had no involvement’ Washing machine repairman William “Bill” Spedding – who was due to carry out repairs at the house when the toddler vanished – had his home raided and gave a 10-page statement and a DNA swab to the police in 2015. No charges were laid. TONY JONES ‘I wasn’t in Kendall that day’ Police questioned Tony Jones numerous times and his car was seized for forensic examination.

Solution 1 Zap spots Reaching menopause can mean battling unwanted blemishes and spots. But spot-zapping products aimed at teenage acne and pimples may be too harsh for more mature, delicate skin. If in doubt, look for face washes, toners and moisturisers that contain glycolic acid, salicylic acid or niacinamide to destroy the bacteria causing spots. TRY Mary Kay Clear Proof Blemish Control Toner $35 Solution 2 Rehydrate skin Postmenopause is the time our skin starts to lose the ability to hold water, which can leave it feeling tight. TRY Jurlique Replenishing Cleansing Lotion $42, which is enriched with botanical extracts to help soften and restore moisture.

It affects one in 10 Australian woman, but endometriosis still remains such a mystery. Here, Lyn shares her daily battles with the disorder including her struggles to overcome it. THE SYMPTOMS I was only 11 when I got my first period, and by my early teens I was suffering severe pain. I felt the pain not only during my menstrual cycle but often in between, to the point where I was so incapacitated I missed a lot of school. DELAYED DIAGNOSIS I was constantly misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. At 15, I found out I had PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome). But I wasn’t diagnosed with endometriosis until I had my first exploratory surgery at 17. THE DAILY STRUGGLE During my time on The Voice last year, I was in agony.…

Q I’ve started a new job, where on some days I feel capable and on others I feel like it’s too much stress. I often find myself wondering whether I should quit.

The Living Room's Amanda Keller ‘WE’VE HAD A HARD YEAR’ A nomination for a Gold Logie is exactly what Amanda Keller and her team at The Living Room needed after a rollercoaster year. Late last year, the TV host announced her co-star Barry Du Bois’ cancer had returned – much to the devastation of viewers and the rest of The Living Room clan. But thankfully, Barry is now on the mend – and he, Amanda, Miguel Maestre and Dr Chris Brown have a reason to celebrate! How does it feel to be nominated? I didn’t expect it. I spoke to Tracey [Grimshaw] and she said the exact same thing. It never occurred to me I’d be in this category! You have so much support… Part of it’s just the longevity…

VINCE VAUGHN’S WIFE DEMANDS: SOBER UP OR WE’RE DONE! It’s not just the police Vince Vaughn is in trouble with after being charged with DUI and resisting arrest when he was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint. Sources tell Woman’s Day his wife Kyla Weber – who was seen picking him up from the police station, with Vince then hiding in the back seat of her car as they drove off – is furious, and it’s making her rethink their marriage. “Kyla will be fuming over this,” an insider says. “They have two young kids and he needs to act like a grown-up, not a frat boy. There’s no doubt she’ll make it clear this kind of thing can’t happen again. She might not stand by him next time.” The 48-year-old…

They may be third and fourth in line to the throne, but you’d be forgiven for thinking Prince George and Princess Charlotte are just like any other kids, after heartwarming photos of them playing games at their father’s polo match surfaced last week. As George, four, learned Slinky tricks and enjoyed his own game of polo, adorable Charlotte, three, did somersaults in cute pink sunglasses – all while mum Kate watched on. Onlookers were quick to remark they appeared more like a regular happy family than British royalty. The duchess– who gave birth to her third child Prince Louis eight weeks ago – appeared to be in her element. “Kate was born to be a mum. It comes so naturally to her,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “Prince William is…

Sam & Tara’s wedding – coming to TV screens soon! Lovebirds Sam Cochrane and Tara Pavlovic could be tying the knot sooner than we thought! According to partygoers, Sam confirmed the newly engaged pair have been approached by Ten to screen their nuptials in a three-part TV series. The wedding will air ahead of the new season of Bachelor In Paradise next February, which means they’d need to film in November. And Fiji could definitely be on the cards! Keira & Jarrod under fire! Keira Maguire and Jarrod Woodgate were noticeably absent from the celebrations. And it’s safe to say organiser Jake Ellis – who arranged the party to raise funds for cancer research – wasn’t impressed. Insiders say the hunk and his partner Megan Marx, who left the event…

Their relationship has been marred by split rumours right from the get-go. But last week, strolling in Venice hand-in-hand, Kate Winslet and husband Ned Rocknroll couldn’t have looked happier. “They’re mad about each other and it’s adorable to watch,” an insider close to the pair tells Woman’s Day, confirming the marriage has never been stronger. Kissing and cuddling their way through the romantic Italian city, Kate, 42, and Ned, 40, were a far cry from the troubled couple they’ve been portrayed as in recent years. With Ned living a quiet life in England while Kate jets around the world for movie roles, the distance between the pair, who share four-year-old son Bear, hasn’t been easy. Friends say there’s no denying it’s put a strain on their romance. “Kate has so…

When it comes to chasing snowy hijinks in New Zealand, Queenstown rests comfortably with its crown. But a road trip through another New Zealand daredevil scene has thrown Queenstown’s whole “adventure capital” title into a tailspin for me. How can we overlook the North Island? Setting off from Auckland Airport, I’m on a scavenger hunt through the region, a total slice of paradise with volcanoes and pristine national parks that stretches from Auckland down to the tip of Wellington. Looking for pulse-accelerating fun, I stop just over two hours away in Waitomo, famed for its caves speckled by glowworms. Three hours of climbing, tubing and leaping through ice-cold Ruakuri Cave waters throws me right in the deep end – literally, about three terrifying plunges. The Legendary Black Water Rafting Co.’s…

Peace is Sarah Ferguson’s message. I see she’s looking for semblance at this time, particularly with her children off living their own lives and with her daughter, Princess Eugenie’s impending wedding. Sarah’s far from the woman perceived by many. She’ll never leave Prince Andrew’s side – a very British front for Eugenie’s wedding – which will garner more interest than we think! Some changes have been made to the third season of the historical TV drama The Crown, and more royal family members will be involved.…
