After two of my car tyres were randomly slashed outside my house last week ($340 total), the repair company then literally crushed my car while jacking it up for repair ($1500 damage). Things were looking up when the kind smash repairer drove me to the train station, but then I accidentally fare evaded (long story) and copped a $200 fine! There was only one thing to do then – buy a lottery ticket (which given my luck was, of course, “not a winning ticket”), sit at my desk and fill this week’s issue with joy! You’ll love our photoshoot with Grant Denyer and his gorgeous new baby girl Scout (p6), and you’ll be blown away by the incredible 60kg weight loss Daniel MacPherson helped his sister achieve (p24). Plus, we…

SASHA MIELCZAREK Age 30 Weight 94kg I keep fit by exercising every day. I go to the gym before and after work. I also like to box, play touch footy and surf. My favourite body feature is probably my rocky boulders – aka my shoulders! My least favourite body part is my nose. I was quite concerned when I heard it’s one of the few body parts that continue to grow as you age… devo! My favourite food is a big bowl of vanilla ice-cream and strawberries, or Arnott’s Teddy Bear biscuits. The guy with the best body in the group is Dave! He’s a regular Aussie bloke who doesn’t revolve his life around fitness, yet still maintains a good rig! RICHIE STRAHAN Age 30…

Like all mothers, Colleen Costante will forever remember the life-changing moments when she welcomed each of her three children into the world. But when the Melbourne mum went into labour with her youngest son Lucas, it was in truly unforgettable style. Home alone, a terrified Colleen found herself giving birth to her tiny son on the bathroom floor at just over 25 weeks, more than three months before his due date. Suddenly gasping for air after feeling a little out of sorts on a busy Saturday morning, Colleen was overcome by one strong contraction that saw Lucas pop out without warning. “I just thought, ‘Oh no!’” recalls Colleen, 35. “Thankfully, Lucas was crying.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have done little to dispel rumours they’re pregnant with their fourth child.

As the first rays of sunshine fall over Brisbane’s Wickham Park, a long line of people stretches away from a bright orange van, each carrying their belongings in a small plastic bag. The line is made up of homeless men and women of all ages, some holding the hands of small children, as they wait to have their clothes cleaned by Orange Sky Laundry – a revolutionary mobile service giving the homeless the chance to wear clean clothes.

THE 3-1-2-1 DIET WHAT IS IT? Tried 5:2? This is its new, more structured sibling. You eat a calorie controlled diet for three days, have one cheat day, another two diet days and then one final cheat day, before starting the week again. If you started on Monday, then your cheat days would be Thursday and Sunday. WHAT CAN I EAT? Watching what you eat is vital since there’s a strict energy allowance for 3-1-2-1 dieters – 6250kJ on clean days and 7100kJ on cheat days. Think high-protein, low-carb meals, such as fish or chicken with a big green salad on your diet days. WHAT’S OUT? Nothing, as long as it’s a cheat day and you don’t consume more than 7100kJ. HOW MUCH WEIGHT COULD I LOSE? Up to 4kg…

When it comes to travel, spontaneity has never been my strong point. I’m the planner in our family. I’ll research restaurants, attractions and hotels for months before a big trip.

Staying at a hotel in my home city has always seemed overrated to me. But after my husband treated me to a surprise night at the QT Sydney (only a few blocks from where I go to work every day), I’m now a card-carrying staycation convert. And I’m not alone. A recent study by lastminute.com reveals 40 per cent of Aussies have taken a…

Sam tells us walking is her favourite form of exercise. “I walk everywhere,” she says. “A lot of people think walking doesn’t do anything, but if you do it every day, it really makes a difference.” She also recommends lunges, planks, sit-ups and push-ups when you’re bored at home. “I have a little mat in my room and whenever I can, I’ll get it out and do a few of each.” Here she shares her best tips to stay motivated. 1 Morning workouts “Even though it’s hard to get up, just do it.

She’s renowned for bringing a host of famous faces onto the stage during her shows, but Taylor Swift seemed particularly taken by her most recent on-stage guest. The pop princess, 25, ushered her country idol Keith Urban up to the microphone during a concert in Toronto, Canada, last week, and something tells us Keith’s wife Nicole Kidman might not have liked just how complimentary she was! “He’s been so wonderful to me. He’s one of the most talented people who’s ever been born… Keith Urban is here to see you,” Taylor told the crowd. The pair’s chemistry was undeniable as they belted out a tune, perhaps due to the fact they go a long way back. Not only was the Shake it Off singer Keith’s supporting act some 10 years…

Take care You use specialised creams and serums for other sensitive areas of your body, such as your face, décolletage and under your eyes. Similarly, your delicate intimate skin can also benefit from special care, too. Although the internal area of the vagina is self-cleansing, the external vulva area is not. Additionally, your intimate skin can be quite sensitive and needs gentle yet effective products that are specifically designed for the unique qualities of this sensitive zone. Intimate Health Facts • Lack of hydration affects the skin all over your body, including your sensitive intimate skin, which needs the right balance of moisture. • There are more sweat glands in your vaginal area than your underarms. Common culprits of odour are exercise, intimacy or your period. • The vaginal area…

Aussie actor Rodger Corser has had his fair share of small-screen hits. But, despite his extensive experience on camera, Rodger struggled getting his kit off for intimate scenes in his new TV show, The Beautiful Lie. “Filming sex scenes is more confronting than doing the emotional stuff,” Rodger, 42, tells Woman’s Day. “It’s like, ‘Hello. How are you? Nice to meet you. We’ll be jumping into bed together today!’ “I would look across the room and 15 crew members would be sitting there studying what you’re doing in dead silence. You feel like asking them, ‘What was my score there?’ and them holding up score cards!” Even so, Rodger, who plays retired tennis player Xander, says he enjoyed filming The Beautiful Lie – especially getting to star alongside his good…
