Woman's Own January 28, 2013

Is yours amazing or non-existent? Do your friends tell the truth about theirs, and how much do you reveal? Yes, I am talking about our sex lives. Recent reports state we’re either having the best sex ever, or none at all. So here at Woman’s Own we thought we’d ask you what really goes on, in our Love & Sex Survey. Complete it online and we’ll enter you into a prize draw to win a £1,100 weekend break. Log on now at womansown.co.uk/loveandsexsurvey or see more info on p23.

On the spot with... Kate Garraway 1 Early bird or lie-in? I like getting up early, doing jobs and then feeling like I have the rest of the day. If I work at night I feel like Cinderella! 2 Spend or save? I never seem to save anything. I get very nervous about spending large amounts of cash. 3 Night in or night out? Night in, I’m afraid. I now tend to go big or go home. I have one spectacular blowout a month and the rest is curling up with a DVD. 4 Book or Kindle? Book. There’s something delicious about a physical book. 5 Skiing or sunbathing? I haven’t been skiing for years. I like diving and snorkelling – it’s lovely to be warm. 6 Ant or Dec?…

Monday Back from holiday in the US where she was earning her flight wings, Carol Vorderman has started the year on her usual contagiously sparkling form. She couldn’t wait to get going on her flying lessons Stateside in December. I reckon it’s only a matter of time before she has a 747 parked in her driveway, which would suit me down to the ground. As a dedicated trolley dolly on Carol Air I’d be set up with a job for life. ‘Chicken or beef, madam?’ Tuesday Filming the BBC drama Death In Paradise has been rather tough for its star Ben Miller. After all, having to spend six months of the year in the Caribbean can really take it out of a boy, as he told me when we caught…

Don’t overdo the bronzer Wow! We almost didn’t recognise Strictly presenter Claudia Winkleman, 41, without her trademark bronzer, intense, kohl-rimmed eyes and Pepto-pink lipstick. We’ve decided she looks better baring her natural English-rose complexion. Let your skin shine Kylie Minogue, 44, reveals a naturally luminous complexion that doesn’t need a hint of foundation (jealous, us?!). We reckon she looks even better here without the layers of base, which can often look matte, dull and ageing if you apply it too thickly. Add a nice, healthy glow With just a hint of a warming tan (we’re hoping it’s fake!), Helen Mirren, 67, has swapped rosy cheeks for bare-faced chic. She might only be a few years away from 70, but she’s never looked better. Make the most of your own colouring…

JAYNIE ‘I think Davina McCall looks so much younger without any make-up on. Her skin is flawless, so she doesn’t need to wear it at all. She looks really healthy.’ JESSICA ‘I just can’t believe that Helen Mirren looks this amazing at 67. I hope I do when I’m her age! She hardly has any wrinkles and has a natural glow. She’s a great advert for make-up-free skin.’ CAROLE ‘Claudia Winkleman looks like a different person! I don’t think I’d be brave enough to go out without a bit of blusher – unless I looked like Kylie.’…
