IT’S a curious thing. If you ask people if they’d like to be confident, happy and at peace with themselves, they’re unlikely to answer no. Yet so many of us have a negative soundtrack playing in our heads that prevents us from doing just that. I include myself in this, which is why the story on page 98 – an extract from the book How to Be a Badass – really resonated with me. I consider myself incredibly lucky. I have a great job and a wonderful family, I’m in good health and I have a roof over my head. Yet when I read what author Jen Sincero writes about being kind to yourself and doing the things you love, I realised perhaps I could do some work on that…

Cellphone addiction is a silent monster (YOU, 6 September) and victims don’t acknowledge their problem. Spending so much time on your phone kills fresh ideas. Our obsession with social media weakens the bond we share with our loved ones because they find it difficult to reach out to us when we’re busy on the phone. You live with your family but you may as well have moved abroad. If used responsibly, cellphones could be important in our lives but, in truth, many people today are slaves to these devices. Let’s try to win our lives back. DC MOLOKOMME, EMAIL • Phones should be put on silent when people are in company. They create a distance between people and scupper any stimulating discussions because of the constant checking or texting by…

GET THE LOOK • You can easily create this quintessentially Moroccan feel by adding furnishings with intricate patterns or geometric shapes. • Stick to one colour palette when decorating with detailed patterns, as we did with blue. It pulls the look together without being too busy. • Complement the patterns with muted tones such as white, brown and copper and offset the cool blues with accent hues – as we did with a peach throw and an orange and blue scatter cushion.

It’s You – Dreaming is your new track out, but everyone knows you from Collide. What’s it about? “It’s about not knowing if the person you love is going to be there for you and [if they’ll] catch you if you fall. I wrote the song in 2014 when I was going through a lot of turmoil. I likened it to driving on a dangerous highway and you don’t know if you’re going to get to your destination. So Collide is really about the whole journey and whether we’re ever going to make it to the other side.” You won this year’s best dance album Sama for King Zamar, your debut. What did that mean to you? “After a good 12 or 13 years of no woman having won in…

M-NET THE SINNER SEASON 2 Starts Thursday 27 September at 21:00. This show was originally planned as a miniseries but because of its success it was renewed for a second season. As the story concluded at the end of season 1, season 2 focuses on a new case, with Bill Pullman the only actor returning. After solving the mystery of why a troubled mom killed an apparent stranger, detective Harry Ambrose (Pullman) returns to his hometown after a 13-year-old boy (Elisha Henig) confesses to poisoning his parents. Season 1 was an engrossing “whydunit” rather than whodunit, and it seems season 2 will also take this route. Expect more shocking revelations and clever twists.

SHE went from being basically broke with few lucrative prospects to becoming a multimillionaire life coach and author. So when Jen Sincero dishes advice, people tend to listen. The bestselling author recently went on a book tour to promote her second book, You Are a Badass at Making Money. But her first offering, You Are a Badass, is still her most popular book and often features on bestseller lists. It’s the book that changed the 53-year-old’s life when it was published in 2013 – and the lives of the hundreds of thousands around the world who’ve read it. While she was doing an interview with The Guardian at a restaurant earlier this year a former client came over to her table. “Because of you my business has been extraordinarily rewarding…

Pretoria child psychologist Lizette Erasmus has this advice. • It’s never a good idea to directly approach the bully’s parents on your own. “There needs to be a facilitator so the parents can all sit around a table. If the principal isn’t good at this, a psychologist needs to be called in to play this role.” • If the school doesn’t act and the situation doesn’t improve, move your child to another school. • The best advice you can give your child is: “Ignore the bully and make sure you’re never alone somewhere the bully can get to you.” • Show empathy with your child. If she says she’s ugly, don’t simply answer that it’s not true. Say something like, “Why do you think that?” • Therapy is recommended for…

If SLICK WOODS wasn’t a household name before New York Fashion Week, she definitely is now. The 22-year-old was the star of RIHANNA’s Savage x Fenty show, where she proudly showed off her bulging baby bump in bondage-inspired lingerie that left little to the imagination. Not long afterwards – 14 hours to be exact – Slick gave birth to a baby boy named Saphir. The model has since confirmed she was in the early stages of labour while on the runway. The birth was first confirmed by the dad, model Adonis Bosso, who posted an Instagram snap of himself with the caption “Fatherhood”. A few hours later Slick posted her own Instagram picture of herself from the Fenty show and an empowering caption.…

SOUTH AFRICA’S KILLING FIELDS The latest murder statistics published by the South African Police Service are a reason for shame and sorrow – more than 20 000 people murdered in 2017-2018, a grotesque figure surpassed only by the brutal drug murders in Mexico. This mindless menace of violence in our country stains our land and each of our lives. Living in our rainbow nation has become a frightening nightmare. We seem to be oblivious to the anarchy. We seemingly tolerate a rising level of insane violence that ignores our common humanity and our claim to civilisation alike. Brutal killers cut across every stratum of society and instil fear into the populace. Our country needs to implement the Old Testament which demands eye-for-an-eye justice to protect its people.

ONE moment they’re chubby-cheeked cherubs cooing in your arms, the next they’re shrugging on their backpacksandheading off to school. Blink and you’ll miss it, any mom will tell you – and Her Serene Highness of Monaco can no doubt relate. Princess Charlene was bursting with bittersweet pride as she watched her three-year-old twins, Gabriella and Jacques, set off on their first day of preschool. “It was a proud day for myself and my husband,” the 40-year-old royal told YOU a few days after the big day. “We were all very excited. The twins couldn’t wait to go to school.” Prince Albert’s wife took to Instagram to share some adorable snapshots of the special day.

LIBRA 23 SEPTEMBER – 22 OCTOBER It’s time to be brave and assert yourself As a Libra, you’re generally a peace-loving soul who’d go to great lengths to avoid conflict. But it’s a week in which clashes and disagreements may be difficult to avoid, especially since it seems to be on the home front that storms are brewing. It may not be pleasant, but it could be a test for your ability to assert yourself – a skill that may need some development. Walking away may not be in your best interest. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 33, 21, 24, 1, 31, 10 SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV Strength, particularly emotional and psychological, is a characteristic that is attributed to your sign. This week it seems that it’s your mind power…

IT’S AS IF MY EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED Q One morning I woke up and simply fell out of love with my wife. I look at her and wonder why on earth I married her eight years ago. Everything she does now irritates me. She’s become fat and sloppy and doesn’t groom herself well. She has bad eating habits and is selfish and egocentric – everything is always about her. Why didn’t I see all of this earlier? My family warned me when we started dating that she’s not the right woman for me. I’m sporty and adventurous and love the outdoors. She hates sports and being outdoors and just wants to stay at home and be a couch potato. Luckily we don’t have kids. But I feel like a…

HEAVY ROLE He first made a name for himself playing American football star Ricky Jerret in the comedy series Ballers. Now the eldest child of Hollywood veteran Denzel Washington (63) and his actress wife, Pauletta (67), is attracting attention with his performance in Spike Lee’s biographical comedy drama BlacKkKlansman. The 34-year-old actor plays Ron Stallworth, a black police detective who managed to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan in the ’70s with the help of a white colleague (played by Adam Driver). The critically acclaimed film has a 95% “fresh” rating on movie review site Rotten Tomatoes. ACTING ROOTS He’s avoided the limelight for most of his professional life as he doesn’t want to live in the shadow of his Oscar-winning dad. But John David got into showbiz early, making his…

THE DATE By LOUISE JENSEN Little, Brown Alison Taylor is in trouble. She recently separated from her husband and her friends convince her to go on a blind date – but things don’t turn out quite as she would’ve liked. She wakes up the next morning and can remember nothing about the night before although she knows something is seriously wrong. Firstly, she’s in terrible pain. Her bag, shoes and gloves are gone. Then there’s the fact she doesn’t recognise herself in the mirror when she finally drags herself to the bathroom . . . The annoying bits: Alison could ask for help a bit more than she does so you have to bear with that a bit. It also took a while for the momentum to build up but…

Western Cape education department spokesman Bronagh Hammond says the department has gone to great lengths to address the situation. She points out that it was arranged for the alleged victim to see an educational psychologist as well as a remedial specialist twice a week for extra lessons. Hammond says Nellie was observed during class and breaks, and sessions with an occupational therapist and trauma therapist were provided at a discounted rate. She says the alleged bully was punished according to the school’s code of conduct. Hammond adds the parents did the right thing in contacting the department when they felt the school wasn’t taking action. “I’m quite proud of the actions the department took in this regard,” she says. The department’s procedure in case of complaints is: • The parents…

Comedian NICHOLAS GOLIATH (33) isn’t just hilarious – he’s got a pretty big heart too.

Fresh from hitting headlines for her skirmish with fellow rapper Cardi B (25), NICKI MINAJ (35) is once again sending the rumour mill into overdrive, this time for her cosy New York Fashion Week date with Formula 1 driver LEWIS HAMILTON (33). The Trinidadian rapper and the British race-car driver showed up at the TommyXLewis launch party together and looked loved up, according to witnesses. It remains to be seen whether they’re an item or just good friends, but the Chun-Li hitmaker did hint at a possible new man in her life during a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Well, there was a boy but he and I kind of fell back a little bit. And then . . .” Nicki said with a laugh. “And then there’s…

The role earned her a best actress Oscar nomination but VIOLA DAVIS has revealed she regrets taking the role of Aibileen in the 2011 film The Help. The 53-year-old – who went on to win an Oscar for Fences in 2017 – made the comment in an interview with the New York Times. “I just felt at the end of the day it wasn’t the voices of the maids that were heard,” she said. “I know Aibileen. I know Minny. They’re my grandma. They’re my mom. And I know if you do a movie where the whole premise is, ‘I want to know what it feels like to work for white people and bring up children in 1963. I want to hear how you really feel about it,’ I never…

IT PAYS TO BE HONEST I WAS a housewife for 15 years and loved every minute of it! I scrubbed floors, polished furniture, washed windows and cooked scrumptious meals. My kids’ nappies sparkled on the wash line. When we were transferred from Durban to Mokopane, my husband asked if I’d mind getting a job, just for a while, as the bond repayment on the new house was higher than we’d anticipated. So I applied for a half-day position at a motor dealership. During the interview I made it clear I was compelled to seek employment, that my children were asthmatic and that when they were sick, which was frequently, they shouldn’t expect me at work. No, I couldn’t operate a fax machine, never mind a computer, and my work experience…

• Possible exploitation by your employer. Go to your department of labour office or speak to your union if you suspect this is taking place. Insist on an employment contract and speak to your employer or HR department if you believe your workload exceeds what was agreed on in the contract.

MARRIED friends and couples on social media agree – some of their wedding expenses weren’t worth the cost. We spoke to wedding and event planners Aleit Swanepoel from The Aleit Group and Minda Maritz from Blush Society about how to avoid money mistakes surrounding the big day. 1 BAD PLANNING Have a budget – the most you can spend – then break it down and don’t leave anything off the list because it will come back to bite you. Include optional items if you have money left over when the must-haves are paid for. Sites such as hitched.co.za and weddingflair.co.za offer budget planners.

PETER RABBIT Comedy. Beatrix Potter’s charming children’s tales get a modern makeover in this family-friendly CGI/ live-action adventure. A family of rabbits living off the garden of Farmer McGregor (Sam Neill) go to war with his nephew (Domhnall Glee-son) when he inherits his uncle’s farm. Peter Rabbit (voiced by James Corden) has a surprisingly sadistic streak, making his supposed enemy rather more sympathetic than perhaps intended. Viewers under 10 will enjoy the relentless slapstick silliness a bit more than grown-ups, but Potter purists will almost certainly be offended at the liberties taken with their beloved characters. – DENNIS CAVERNELIS 2018. 91 MIN. 10V.

His parents are willing to risk everything to get him out of Syria to a better life in Europe – but to do so will entail a perilous sea crossing at sunrise in an overcrowded boat. As his father cradles him in his arms on the beach waiting for dawn to break he speaks to him of his hopes and dreams for him. This new offering from the author of The Kite Runner was inspired by the story of Alan Kurdi, a three-year-old Syrian refugee who drowned in…

When most people think of fynbos flowers they think of proteas, of which there are many types. Because proteas occur in such a wide variety they were named after the Greek god Proteus, who could change his form at will. South Africans are so proud of these beautiful flowers that we named our national cricket team after them. The team’s emblem contains a picture of a king protea – SA's national flower. Proteas belong to the family Proteaceae, which is found mainly in the southern hemisphere. SA is home to about half of all the species in this family. But we’re not the only country to name a sports team after this colourful family of flowers. The Waratahs, an Australian rugby team from Sydney in New South Wales, were named…

T BREAKS her heart to see her little I girl like this. How is it possible, she wonders, that in less than a year her carefree, loving six-year-old could have turned into this sad and anxious child? The adorable, spontaneous flame-haired girl who loved dancing and made friends easily has become reserved, isolated and lonely. Alarm bells started going off when Nellie*, a Grade 1 learner at a respected government school in Cape Town, repeatedly came home in tears. She started exhibiting all kinds of strange behaviour and even started ill-treating the family dog. It didn’t take her parents, Bianca* and Ryno*, long to join the dots and figure out what the problem was: their only child was being bullied. In this letter to YOU, Bianca (38) opens up about…

IT WAS a moment that took his breath away, watching his bride walking down the aisle to meet him. When Proteas batsman Reeza Hendricks laid eyes on Lee-Ann Barlow sashaying towards him in her breathtaking gown, he fell in love with her all over again. “It was an indescribable feeling,” he tells YOU. “She looked so beautiful and I felt emotions I’ve never felt before. It was such a special moment.” Reeza and interior decorator Lee-Ann recently said their “I do’s” on the first day of spring at the four-star Monte Bello wedding and conference venue on a farm near Bloemfontein in the Free State. Lee-Ann, in an elegant gown by Hanrie Lues Bridal, was escorted down the aisle by her father, Hubert Barlow. The custom-made wedding gown featured an…

Model and businesswoman SHASHI NAIDOO (37) has been soaking up the sun in Mauritius and her Instagram pics have had us doing many a double-take! The brunette beauty shared that her favourite holiday read is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. “I could read it a hundred times over and never tire of it,” she said. MINNIE DLAMINI-JONES (28) probably had a few déjà vu moments during her recent trip to France, as it was a year ago that she was in Paris for her bachelorette. The TV presenter travelled to Reims as a guest of GH Mumm Champagne for their #NextVictory campaign and met Olympic champion USAIN BOLT. “A true gentleman,” she said on Instagram. “Did I mention we drank champagne in zero gravity?” It’s not easy being away from…

When it came time to pen her recently released memoir, In Pieces, actress SALLY FIELD (71) was an open book. The Hello, My Name Is Doris star makes several personal revelations in the autobiography, including the sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of her stepfather. Sally writes that JOCK MAHONEY – who was married to her mother, actress MARGARET FIELD – often summoned her to his bedroom and the abuse continued until she was 14. “It would’ve been so much easier if I’d only felt one thing, if Jocko had been nothing but cruel and frightening. But he wasn’t. He could be magical,” she writes of the actor, who died in 1989 aged 70. It wasn’t until decades later that she told her mother – who at the time…

MEL B has been in the limelight for all the wrong reasons these past few months. She and ex-husband Stephen Belafonte’s messy divorce and custody battle for daughters Angel (11) and Madison (7) have been dominating headlines since they filed for divorce last year. And earlier this month they set tongues wagging when sources alleged she was entering rehab to battle booze and sex addictions. Now it appears another aspect of Mel’s life has been exposed – her taste for much younger men, Us Weekly reports. Mel (43) and High School Musical star ZAC EFRON (30) met on a dating app and began to exchange flirty messages, according to a source. “He ended up driving over to her pad. They hit it off and spent a few enjoyable hours together,”…
