Innholdsfortegnelse for 2033 i Woman's Day

I never thought I’d say this… but thank goodness for reality TV! It’s been a pretty tough time, to say the least, but if there’s one thing that’s giving the Woman’s Day team some much-needed light relief, it’s watching everyday Aussies battle it out on national TV. Whether it’s our farmers looking for love on Farmer Wants A Wife (my personal favourite, on p20), or those incredible Ninja Warriors making us all think we need to train a little harder (p30). And it won’t be long before it gets even juicier with new Bachelor Locky Gilbert on the hunt for his lucky lady (p26). As always, we’ve got all the behind-the-scenes goss for you to enjoy.…

While Farmer Neil has made no secret of the fact he shares his three children with his ex-wife Sally, Woman’s Day has learned that the Crookwell local’s former flame could be about to spell trouble for his time on the show! Despite Neil, 43, and his ex having an amicable relationship following their divorce, one on-set insider reveals Sally’s upcoming appearance on the show caused a series of tense moments for the farmer and his contending ladies. THE EX POPS UP According to the source, Neil’s close bond with his ex-wife became a point of contention for the women, who struggled with the idea of the NSW sheep farmer having a life separate of them. ‘The girls had no idea they’d be meeting his former lover so soon!’ “First of…

Trading in his tattered trunks for a shiny tuxedo in the Bachelor mansion was a lot harder than you’d expect, insists new suitor and Survivor favourite Locky Gilbert. The Perth-based TV regular tells Woman’s Day that coming into The Bachelor, he had to learn to trust. It was a big ask for the 31-year-old, given he spent two seasons competing on a show that leaves contenders marooned and plotting against each other! “With Survivor, it’s all about lying to each other and deceiving the other people on the show, and so coming into this I didn’t want any of that!” explains Locky. “In the beginning, I found it quite hard to switch out of that mindset. I was constantly wondering to myself, ‘Is she lying?’, ‘Is she being honest?’, ‘What’s…

Celebrity news By his own admission, embattled actor Johnny Depp “tortured” a young Leonardo DiCaprio during the filming of their 1993 drama What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. And despite almost three decades passing since, sources exclusively tell Woman’s Day that the famous film stars have taken their bitter feud well and truly to the next level! “They haven’t liked each other since… Johnny recognised Leo’s talent and he just felt threatened. It only made matters worse when Leo was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar and Johnny didn’t even get a look in,” an insider explains. Years later, the Hollywood heartthrobs’ feud has once again become headline news in the midst of Johnny’s explosive trial against The Sun newspaper, which has accused him of being a “wife beater” during his…

Teenagers Elaine Johnson and Kerry Joel vanished from a caravan park in Sydney’s south in February 1980, leaving their heartbroken families desperate for answers, and wondering if a series of police bungles are to blame for denying them closure. “We’re at a standstill. I don’t believe myself that they left the Shire. There’s nothing to prove they went anywhere else,” says Helen Cooper, who was just 12 when her blonde-haired, blue-eyed sister Elaine went missing. Dismissed as teenage runaways, by the time police began investigations into the case the trail had gone cold. With little information filed by police, and apparently lost, it’s been an uphill battle in the search for answers, with Elaine only placed on a missing persons poster in 2018, 38 years after she disappeared.

Leo JUL 24 – AUG 23 The full moon has a message for you. It’s triggering your love zone, so there are some climaxes and conclusions coming in at least one of your most important relationships. Don’t panic. Good relationships can go to the next level but toxic ones may crumble. After all, who needs toxic relationships, really? You deserve better. Virgo AUG 24 – SEP 23 The wonderful thing about you is that you love to be of service. However, the problem is that sometimes you help so much, you’re left with no time at all for yourself, and then you end up getting ratty and undo all the good karma you created. Avoid that this week. Libra SEP 24 – OCT 23 Remember you catch more flies with…

It’s a term that every pharmacist will be familiar with, but “bioavailability” is something us regular folk may only read of on product packaging, thinking “what does that mean?”. Well, wonder no more! Professor Harrison “Dr Harry” Weisinger, medical director for Truth Origins, explains what you need to know about this buzzword. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? “Put simply, the term ‘bioavailability’ refers to how much of a given substance reaches the bloodstream after it’s been taken,” Dr Harry says. A substance taken intravenously (injected into a vein) is 100 per cent bioavailable because all of it will reach circulation. “The bioavailability of substances taken via other routes, say topically, by ingestion or by inhalation, are generally lower,” he adds. This isn’t the same as absorption, though. “Absorption refers to the…

‘WASHING IS BAD FOR YOUR HAIR’ – TRUE AND FALSE “We need to cleanse, but I do think people can overdo the shampoo,” says Simone. “Use a cleansing treatment that doesn’t foam up or strips oils but does remove impurities and replenish moisture. For most people, washing three times per week strikes the right balance.” ‘A COLD RINSE ADDS SHINE’ – TRUE Simone agrees with the theory that cold water “closes” the outer cuticle so they sit flat and reflect light. If you can’t do cold, warm showers are kinder to hair than hot showers, which can strip natural oils and the goodness left by hair masks. ‘BRUSHING IS BAD FOR YOUR HAIR’ – FALSE “Brushing correctly stimulates blood circulation in the scalp and spreads oil from the roots, creating…

Why the need to write this memoir now? I’ve never contemplated writing a memoir at all and as I was writing it I got bored and was like, “What’s so interesting about my life?” [laughs] but here we are – and now I’m really hoping it succeeds as it’s my only source of income right now, given the state of the world. It’s such a great title! I actually stole it from a friend – I half got his permission to use it [laughs], but it’s perfectly true to me and my career. I really don’t think I got much beyond the middle – and I’m getting a bit old to go any further [laughs]. I think you’re being a bit hard on yourself. Why do you think you’ve only…

If anyone knows a thing or two about a battle, it’s Manu Feildel. For more than 10 years, the 46-year-old has helmed TV’s toughest cooking competition and moulded home cooks into stars on My Kitchen Rules. But this year, Manu is battling something a lot more personal.

The Australian Federal Police has gone back to an old-school campaign used decades ago in Australia and launched a new missing persons campaign running the faces and details of missing people on sides of milk bottles to generate new leads. Laura Haworth, 23, vanished after leaving a friend’s house in Queanbeyan, NSW, in January 2008. The mum-of-two left in her red Mazda 121, and was never seen again.

After months of lockdown-induced tension between Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, the couple’s return to Australia in July was supposed to mark a new chapter for the famous pair. But sadly, well-placed insiders tell Woman’s Day that the parents, who share daughters Sunday, 12 and Faith, nine, are once against butting heads, and it’s all down to Keith’s plan to leave Australia, and his family, for the US! Last week, it was announced that a massive virtual mega-concert for the 10th anniversary of the legendary iHeartRadio Music Festival would take place in September in Nashville, Tennessee, with the Somebody Like You singer, 52, among the top acts performing. However, our insider says the news of Keith’s sudden plans to skip town just shortly after they arrived in Australia has left…

NICOLE, 26, NSW DANCE TEACHER Nicole has many talents, including dance and assembling flatpack furniture, but don’t let her colourful costumes fool you, she can be rather shy! “I can be quiet and reserved at first,” she says. “But once I’m comfortable, I’m a confident, fun-loving, energetic person and always up for a good time.” With only one date in the past year, she’s ready to settle down.

When Julia Roberts laid eyes on the script for the blockbuster drama Leave The World Behind, she instantly knew she’d need the ultimate leading man – and only her close friend Denzel Washington would do. “Julia and Denzel share a long and very interesting past,” says an industry insider. “She can’t wait to team up with him again, and she’ll tell anyone it’s been 27 long years since they did The Pelican Brief together, so they absolutely can’t wait to get started.” One person who’s rapidly losing patience with Julia’s constant chatter about how “talented, funny and handsome” Denzel is even after all these years is her husband of 18 years, Danny Moder, 51. “It was recently their wedding anniversary [July 4] and Julia spent it talking about this new…

It was the happy ending she was meant to receive after appearing on The Bachelorette in 2017 – a loving and successful boyfriend, a stellar career in entertainment and a supportive family rallying behind her. However, tensions within her once tight-knit clan are threatening to derail everything Sophie Monk has worked hard for. It’s been revealed that Sophie, 40, has fallen out with her family after sensationally blocking both her mother Sandi and sister Lucy on social media over tensions between them and Sophie’s boyfriend Joshua Gross. According to a source, her family believe the Love Island star may be moving too quickly with her medical supply executive beau. “He has become a very big presence in Sophie’s life and I think there was some concern that things all happened…

With gritty determination, and her trademark smile, champion Queensland jockey Kristy Banks is taking small steps towards a miraculous recovery. The 39-year-old has always had a fierce, courageous streak. Just 10 months after her accident, wheelchair-bound Kristy was back in the saddle – strapped to it – and competing in barrel racing at rodeos in between her rehab sessions. Now, she is teaching herself how to walk again. Her bravery comes after doctors warned her that she would never walk again or fulfil her dream of motherhood after fracturing her spine in a horror race fall at Clifford Park racetrack in Toowoomba on New Year’s Eve, 2011. Then along came her precious little boy Nash. “Nash started school this year, and seeing the other mums and dads, I’m determined to…

She inspires me every day with her determination,” says mum Jessica Rothwell, 35, who admits MJ’s uncertain future has been tough for her and MJ’s stepdad Joe, 50. “This has been her entire world – the tears and the pain – but she lives her best life. You’d never know she’s been through all of this.” MJ was just three days old when she suffered a cardiac arrest, sustaining brain damage so severe the family, from Adamstown, NSW,…

It’s a full moon week, so hang on to your hormones. If you’re feeling tense, now you know why! Tuesday brings the full moon in the sign of Aquarius. There’s more about that in your weekly horoscopes (if it’s strongly affecting you). Overall, remember that full moons are turning points. They’re a time to release and let go. If you made your wishes at new moon (as I suggested!) then you should start to see how they’re going. Do they have legs? Are they coming true? Do you need to work a little harder on manifesting them? The full moon is the time to surrender all to the divine. In other words, release attachment to them. This might sound like a hard thing to do, but it really makes magic.…

DIGITAL EYE STRAIN “Long-term screen work introduces significant strain on the eyes leaving you with visual fatigue and headaches, especially at the end of a long day,” says Heba. “I recommend taking frequent breaks from devices and adopt a 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look 20 feet (six metres) away.” DRY EYES “When the eyes are dry, the tear production goes into overdrive to compensate for the lack of lubrication on the ocular surface, leading to runny, watery eyes. Other symptoms of dry eye include itchiness, burning sensation, sore eyes, fatigued eyes, redness, light sensitivity and blurry vision.” TROUBLE FOCUSING “Your eye’s focusing system naturally deteriorates from the age of 40 and continues to decline with age. Pushing your reading material away from you signifies…
