I DON’T know about you but I think there’s something lovely about that special time when one season morphs into another. There’s a sense of anticipation, of something new around the corner and knowing that everything will change in the coming weeks. Even though there’s a distinct chill in the air, I can see it’s lighter in the morning and the sun sets just a bit later than a week ago. The birds seem chirpier, the neighbours friendlier and the air fresher. Of course this is also a time when you start to lighten and brighten your home and your life. And importantly, it’s a great time to quiet your mind and get rid of all the mental clutter that’s dragging you down. Turn to page 44 for excellent practical…

To Confused (YOU Say, 18 August): at 46 you can still start fresh. Stop being a doormat. Once a cheat always a cheat. I’ve been there. Get a private investigator and catch him in the act. That way you don’t walk away with nothing. Be smart. JEAN, FISH HOEK Can somebody tell me why I can’t find dishcloths and facecloths with loops any more? We all have hooks in bathrooms and kitchens. OHNA McLACHLAN, SMS To all those despondent about the SABC, try reading more. Books are far more enriching than mindless TV! BOOKWORM, SMS I’ve just been watching Divas Of Jozi. What can I say? What a load! Do we really have to put up with this? SWITCHED OFF, SMS I’m getting like DStv – I keep repeating myself.…

SHE was researching a school science project online when a banner popped up on her screen. Intrigued, the 16-year-old clicked on the link and was taken to the Google Science Fair site which called on the brightest young minds from around the world to answer one important question: how can you make the world better through science, maths and engineering? That single click changed Kiara Nirghin’s life. The Grade 11 learner at St Martin’s High School in Rosettenville, Johannesburg, entered the contest – her first science fair entry – and not only won the Community Impact Award in the Africa and Middle East region but made it to the global final 16. Next step: a trip to Google headquarters in California for the final awards celebration. Her winning idea –…

‘Maturity is when your world opens up and you realise you’re not the centre of it’ – AUTHOR MJ CROAN HOW DO I COPE WITH THIS SHOCK? Q Last night my wife told me she’s discovered she’s gay and can no longer tolerate living with me. She asked me to understand her point of view and not to be angry. But I feel betrayed and as if my whole life has been a lie. I can’t stop thinking that she never really loved me and just used me. I tried to give her a wonderful life and worked hard to accomplish this. Now that I’m a successful businessman and can enjoy the fruits of my labour, I’m left stranded and must face a future without the woman I love. I…

FREE STATE 2016. 98 min. 13LPV. Local romantic drama. R129* In this striking film a chance encounter between two attractive young people leads to forbidden love. On her way home for Christmas, Afrikaans student Jeannette (Nicola Breytenbach) is stranded on a dirt road near Memel when her car breaks down and Ravi (Andrew Govender) gives her a lift home where her reverend father (Deon Lotz) is anxiously waiting for her. But Ravi must be in Newcastle, Natal, before sundown – because this is 1979 and Indians aren’t allowed in the Orange Free State after dark. Jeannette and Ravi’s relationship is depicted with tenderness and compassion against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery. Leleti Khumalo (as Maria, the nanny who raised Jeanette) delivers an excellent performance, as does Lotz, despite the fact…

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS LEISURE AND WELLBEING: VIRGO . . . Gets consumed by worry. Always strives for perfection. Is happy when everything is organised and in order. Has a hypochondriac tendency.

ONE-LINER An actor had been out of work for years because he always forgets his lines. One day he gets a call from a director who wants him for a part in a play. All the actor has to say is, “Hark! I hear the cannon roar!” Opening night arrives and while he waits in the wings the actor mutters to himself, “Hark! I hear the cannon roar! Hark! I hear the cannon roar!” Finally it’s time for his entrance. As the actor makes his appearance onstage he hears a loud boom. “What the heck was that?” he says. NOT SO BRIGHT An American, a Russian and an Irishman are bragging about the achievements of their respective countries. “We were the first in space” the Russian says. “Well, we were…

Look how much she’s grown! TV presenter MINKI VAN DER WESTHUIZEN and former rugby player ERNST JOUBERT’s youngest daughter, ELISE, turned two recently and the family celebrated the special day at Eaglevlei Wine Estate near Stellenbosch, Western Cape. “When I asked Elise what kind of cake she wanted she said a baby cake,” Minki (32) says with a laugh. “She’s at that stage where all she wants to do is wrap her dolls in blankets and give them dummies to suck. She’s also mad about pink.” Big sister KATERIEN (3) enjoyed the party too and was especially excited about all Elise’s presents. “She just wanted to go home and open the presents!” Minki adds. The former model says being a mom is “the most satisfying and challenging job ever. I…

Congratulations, Caster Semenya. I can’t be the only one who cried when the anthem came on, right? My sis must be thinking I’m crazy! JODY JENEKER, YOU FACEBOOK I have no words for Caster Semenya. I just get so emotional, she’s a rock. Rise upon all the haters my dear and do what you enjoy doing most: run. Run and make South Africa proud. SHEILA MGIDLANA, YOU FACEBOOK Even though Wayde van Niekerk did us proud in winning a gold medal my proudest moment was when Usain Bolt ran up the stadium to congratulate Wayde. Well done, Wayde! DAWN, YOU FACEBOOK Waydes win is so wonderful to watch. I keep playing it over and over. Wayde, you’re the pride and joy of SA. Fantastic. ENID JACKSON, YOU FACEBOOK Well done,…

1 Use a wine rack to store shampoo bottles, conditioners, hairsprays and hot styling tools. 2 Use a clear hanging shoe holder to store nail polishes. Keep different shades of the same colour – greens, yellows or reds – together so they’re easy to find. 3 A kitchen utensil tray can work well for storing make-up brushes – use one compartment for them and the rest for other items. 4 Clear hanging shoe holders are versatile and can be used to store your make-up too. Fill each compartment with items that fulfil the same purpose – eye shadows in one pouch, eyeliners in another, lipsticks in the next and so on. 5 Use an old jam jar, a beer mug or a small vase to store your make-up brushes. Half-fill…

Zone out for a bit Give your mind a break from processing information. This means doing nothing at all – so no reading, no browsing the internet, no TV, no conversation. Just find a quiet place, preferably outside, and look at the clouds (or the stars). Get creative Whether it’s drawing, painting, dancing, singing, doing puzzles or colouring in, getting lost in a creative activity does wonders for your mind. Work up a sweat When you’re getting your heart rate up with exercise there’s no time to worry about anything but the present moment. Getting those endorphins pumping also help you to sleep better, focus better and feel better. Get more ZZZs You may be feeling off balance because you’re not getting enough sleep. Change your sleeping patterns – it…

INSPIRED BY THE BIG APPLE “It’s definitely the best music I’ve ever done,” Alicia says of her as-yet-untitled upcoming album, due out next month. But despite her long break from the music scene – the new single, In Common, is her first release in four years – she says inspiration from her native city came thick and fast. “The album is very much about New York. It’s about how it has made me who I am, how it’s made me see the world and made me the woman I am,” she says. “It was the fastest I’ve ever created music. It was raining down every night, like storms of music just coming out. We did probably 30 songs in like, 10 days.” CLASSICAL TRAINING She credits Chopin, Beethoven and Mozart…

FROM the day they were first released you’ve wanted an iPhone, but it’s always been out of reach. So you settled for another kind of operating system running on another brand of phone. It’s a smartphone – just not smart enough.

A All ages D Drugs H Horror L Language N Nudity P Prejudice S Sex V Violence LISTEN TO THIS! SUICIDE SQUAD THE ALBUM VARIOUS ARTISTS This superhero movie got a lukewarm reception from critics but fans loved it and it ruled the box office worldwide in its opening week. Just like the film, the soundtrack – which topped the US’ Billboard 200 – is a dark, almost tongue-in-cheek affair that combines diverse styles, such as Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Fortunate Son next to Eminem’s Without Me. The 14 tracks cover genres from pop and hip-hop to indie rock. Skrillex and Rick Ross’ new hit, Purple Lamborghini, sets the tone but things get even better when Grace and G-Eazy give their spin on Lesley Gore’s 1963 hit You Don’t Own Me.…

CHART TOPPER Drake, who was born Aubrey Drake Graham, was an actor for seven years before he began rapping. His latest album, Views, has been a runaway success and topped the Billboard Top 200 album chart for 12 weeks. IN THE FAMILY His dad, Dennis Graham, played drums with rock ’n roll star Jerry Lee Lewis, while his uncle, Larry Graham, is a legendary bassist. Talk about a talented musical clan! GIMME THE CASH He’s said he wants to have $250 million (R3,3 billion) in the bank by the time he’s 29, but $60 million (R810 million) isn’t too shabby! The 29-year-old revealed in 2010 that rapper Nicki Minaj (33) was the inspiration behind Alicia Keys’ hit song Un-Thinkable, which he co-wrote. “I always really liked her but she saw…

DO YOU enjoy seafood? What about snorkelling or surfing? An estimated 70 percent of our planet’s surface is covered by water, and people all over the world depend on the oceans for food, medicines, oil and other resources. We also use them for leisure activities. South Africans are crazy about seafood – think of a delicious snoek on the braai, pickled fish at Easter or much-loved prawns – while for our fishermen these resources are their bread and butter. But unsound fishing practices have a damaging effect – they harm the oceans’ various ecosystems and deplete valuable resources. Unsustainable fishing methods place immense pressure on our seas. FISHING PRACTICES THAT MUST STOP The amount of seafood taken from the sea has increased dramatically over the past few years. Each year…

ATV advert changed everything for a young woman now regarded as one of the finest opera singers the world has ever seen. Until that moment she had her heart set on being an accountant – but all aspirations of a career behind a desk were abandoned in a heartbeat. And her legions of fans can thank their lucky stars for that. The ad was for British Airways and it featured the Flower Duet from Delibes’ opera Lakmé. Pretty Yende, then 16 years old and watching TV in her hometown of Piet Retief in Mpumalanga, was transfixed. “I was drawn to the music,” she says, chatting to YOU from Milan, Italy, where she’s now based. “Id never heard anything like it before – it sounded supernatural to me”. The next day…

HIS father always hoped his son would one day play “at the highest possible level”. It wasn’t about money – it was about playing in the best leagues in the world, with and against players who could match his youngest son’s immense talent. The fact that Paul Pogba is now the world’s most expensive soccer player, after being signed by Manchester United for a record-breaking £89 million (R1,5 billion), is just a bonus. The 23-year-old is being called the club’s prodigal son after leaving in 2012 for Italian club Juventus for £1,5 million (then R20 million). Pogba had joined Manchester United’s youth academy in 2009 and when he left after three years the then manager, Alex Ferguson, accused him of disrespecting the club. “It’s disappointing,” Ferguson said at the time.…

LITTLE GREEN FINGERS HOW I wish all parents would go green and plant a herb and vegetable garden. Not only is it something the kids can get involved with, it’s also good to know where your food comes from. Children get such joy from eating their own tomatoes or carrots. You can have so much fun gardening with your child and, while digging, planting and watering together, they learn lots of life lessons. Don’t make excuses that you don’t have a garden. Buy a pot and plant seeds in that! Just as a plant flowers and bears fruit with daily care, a child flourishes on love, attention and doing things together. These are experiences no money can buy. Each child has the potential to grow and bear fruit. The little…

‘They tightened the stranglehold on my neck until I couldn’t breathe’ THE ringing of her cellphone woke her early in the morning – and as soon as she saw it was her brother Michael calling she knew something was wrong. Hed never call her at that hour unless something had happened. She was right. “Tam” he said. “I’m going to give you a few seconds to wake up.” She had already started screaming into the phone as he said, “Tam, Mom’s been kidnapped, robbed, beaten and raped” Tamara Dey felt the bottom fall out of her world. Her mom, Susan Dey, had always been her pillar of strength and mother and daughter shared a special bond – Tamara confided in her about almost everything and turned to her in times…

DO YOU know the five indications of mental health problems? Show you care by recognising the symptoms in family members and colleagues – or yourself – and make sure mental illnesses get as much, and as immediate, attention as we give to physical illnesses. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) depression is the third-biggest global illness. A South African study found that on average people with depression took 18 days’ sick leave as a result of their illness. But the sooner you recognise the symptoms and seek help the sooner you can manage the disease with the help of therapy and medication. October is National Mental Health Awareness Month. To show you care, get walking and start talking! Join YOU, Huisgenoot, Drum, Cipla and the Ithemba Foundation for the…

BLACK WATER LILIES By MICHEL BUSSI, Orion Three women live in Giverny, the French town made famous by Claude Monet’s water lilies. Overrun by resented tourists by day, the town harbours dark secrets, betrayals and tragedy. For the trio Giverny is a prison of sorts. The first is an elderly widow, bitter and cunning, who watches the comings and goings in the town from the mill by the stream. The second is a schoolteacher, an exquisite beauty who dreams of escape, and the third a precocious young girl with more artistic talent in her little finger than the whole town put together. There are also rumours that hidden somewhere in the village is Monet’s priceless final painting, Black Water Lilies, a dark canvas representing his state of mind before his…

She’s had a hugely successful Las Vegas residency and now the pop icon has returned to the studio to come up with a brand-new album, Glory. Here’s a catch-up on Brit and her first release in three years. 1 Her previous album was 2013’s Britney Jean. Glory takes a different turn, says her long-time manager, Larry Rudolph. “The past few albums have been pretty straightforward pop. This is almost like if you can imagine Britney meets The Weeknd. It’s got a really interesting vibe, it’s a lot of really cool stuff” 2 The 34-year-old singer released the first single, Make Me – featuring rapper G-Eazy – after a video she’d made for the song was leaked on the internet. Britney reportedly rejected this video because it was “too sexy” and…

How long have you been in the radio industry? In 2012 I started with MFM campus radio during my second year of studies (she studied international relations at Stellenbosch University). I then moved to commercial radio in 2014 and I’m still at KFM to this day! How did you get into television presenting? I fell in love with the idea of it through MFM but I only pursued it last year. I guess timing was in my favour, as I won one of the spots on SABC3’s Presenter Search On 3 competition. That’s how I ended up on Expresso. What does a typical day look like for you? Every morning I wake up at about 3.40 am to be at the studio by 4.30 am. I then have my hair…

THERE are two kinds of people in this world, says Donald Trump: winners and losers. And the eccentric billionaire has never had any doubt about which camp he falls into. But now, with his campaign for America’s top job seemingly in tatters and opinion polls showing that come November he’s likely to suffer a crushing election defeat, the cocky tycoon doesn’t sound nearly so sure of himself. At a loss for answers, hes gone into excuse mode – criticising the media for their “biased” coverage of his presidential bid and firing his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. But then came the thing nobody expected: an apology. “Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing,”…

BY RIGHTS we should hate Chrissy Teigen. Her face is flawless, she has hair that could make Cindy Crawford envious, her man is a dreamboat and she can wear a pair of teeny tiny shorts just weeks after giving birth without looking like toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube. Instead everyone loves the 30-year-old because she’s just so cool and funny and, you know, normal – and not normal in a “Look at me, I’m so normal” kind of way. Normal in a nice way. Here are 10 reasons why everyone loves the model mom. Even the internet. Most of the time. 1 SHE LOVES FOOD. Chrissy (30) is a mean cook and her first cookbook, Cravings, was published earlier this year. The best part: it’s filled with food…

Looks like TYGA’s financial problems just got worse. First he was taken to court by his former landlord, who claimed the rapper owed him $485 000 (R6,5 million) in damages and unpaid rent for a property he apparently trashed. Now a Los Angeles jeweller is also after him, saying the 26-year-old owes him $200 000 (R2,7 million). Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend apparently never paid for a diamond-encrusted watch and chain back in 2013. Wouldn’t want to be in his designer shoes right now. Colombian actress SOFÍA VERGARA reckons age is starting to take its toll on her. The Modern Family star, who recently turned 44, says her knees “are starting to look weird” so she has to “work out more”. She also jokingly added that the main reason she exercises is…

STAR LOOK Actress EVA LONGORIA was white hot in a Misha Collection halterneck top and skirt with eyelet detail at the El Sueño de Esperanza charity bash in Las Vegas.
