A KIND WORD I was having brunch recently with a friend. She was observing a young, in-love couple behind me. She commented that he was rubbing her back and showing such tender affection. As they left and walked past her, she said to them, “What an amazing couple you are! So loving towards each other.” They smiled and left. Then a bit later, an old lady walked towards us and my friend commented how fit she looked for her age. When the old lady walked past she complimented her on her fine figure. The lady said she was 72 and seemed so chuffed. She walked on with her miniature yorkie and a strut in her step. A while later a woman walked past in a lovely soft flowing dress. My…

‘CHARLES HAS EARNED RESPECT AND IS GENERALLY VIEWED AS A HARD-WORKING INDIVIDUAL WHO’LL DO HIS MOTHER PROUD’ A TWEEDY radical. A fussy intellectual. A red-cheeked landowner who looks as if he’s stepped out of an 18th-century painting. These are just some of the words that have been used to describe the man who’s now the king of the United Kingdom after a seven-decade apprenticeship. These descriptions might seem harsh but let’s not forget that over the years there was speculation about Charles ever becoming king. The collapse of his marriage to Princess Diana made him deeply unpopular – who could support a man who’d betrayed the People’s Princess, carrying on with his mistress while Diana grew increasingly fragile and unhappy? Charles was also viewed as a bit of an eccentric,…

THERE are many myths about trusts that can make them sound complicated. But trusts are a practical way to ensure children are taken care of if both parents die, or if one parent wants protect their kids’ inheritance. It’s worth setting up even if only for the proceeds from a life-insurance policy. Here are five things you need to know. 1 WHO NEEDS IT? People with underage children (not yet 18) who want to ensure their children’s inheritance is spent on their care. Underage children can’t inherit directly from your estate, even if you name your underage child as an heir. ● Should both parents…

NOT many of us would say no to a freezer filled with food or kitchen cupboards groaning with goodies. But then again not many of us would consider lining our shelves with food we’ve preserved at home and keeping them for months before feeding our families. Yet, this is what Kelsey Shaw is doing and her kitchen is packed with tightly sealed jars containing vegetables, fruits, jams – and even beef stew. The 30-year-old has spent nearly five years mastering the art of food preservation. She joins the growing trend of homesteaders, who are people who want to live a life of self-sufficiency. She’s managed to stockpile 426 prepared and preserved meals that can feed her family of five for eight months. “I can’t tell you how many people think…

THERE are many things that a person could feel lucky about – and finding out you have cancer definitely isn’t one of them. Yet this is exactly how Jane Fonda feels about her recent diagnosis. “This is a very treatable cancer, 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky,” the Grace and Frankie star wrote in an Instagram post. She shared she’d been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer that begins in the lymphatic system, a part of the body’s immune system dedicated to fighting germs. The two-time Oscar winner revealed she’s already started chemo and so far has been “handling the treatments quite well”. It’s not the first time Jane (84) has battled cancer. In 2019 she told Vogue magazine her struggle with the disease is…

1 ZAC SHUTS DOWN PLASTIC SURGERY RUMOURS In 2021 ZAC EFRON sparked speculation that he’d undergone plastic surgery after appearing in an Earth Day promo video with a swollen jaw. The Baywatch actor has now addressed the rumours, explaining that he shattered his jaw after slipping in his house. The reconstructive surgery, he says, caused the muscles in his face and jaw to grow. The 34-year-old said his mother brought his attention to the rumours as he generally avoids social media. “If I valued what other people thought of me to the extent that they may think I do, I definitely wouldn’t be able to do this work.” 2 KANYE ENDS GAPPARTNERSHIP KANYE WEST and retail brand Gap have announced an end to their partnership, with the artist now…

HER addiction took her to rock bottom. In her memoir Smacked, Melinda Ferguson gave a harrowing account of how her craving for heroin and crack cocaine cost her almost everything as she landed up destitute on the streets of Hillbrow, Johannesburg. This was followed by two sequels, Hooked and Crashed, which told how the mother of two managed to put her life together again and stay sober. Why, after the hell she went through trying to beat her addiction, would she consider touching drugs again? In Bamboozled, which continues Ferguson’s story after about 16 years of sobriety, she’s a successful publisher and in a fulfilling relationship, yet despite everything she still feels a gaping “hole in the soul” because while she’s beaten her physical addiction, the psychological pain that drove…

DEHYDRATION Megan McDuffie and Michael van Vliet swear by dehydrated food. The pair ditched their office jobs to travel around North America and along the way became pros at dehydrating food. It’s much quicker to cook, they say on their website, freshoffthegrid.com. “Through low heat and steady airflow, dehydrating removes enough moisture from food through evaporation to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeast and mould.” Rehydrating food to eat generally requires equal parts water to food and about 15-25 minutes to reconstitute. While fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, low-fat meats, seafood and herbs are among the foods that can be preserved in this way, some foods should never be dehydrated. “Proper dehydration relies on the evaporation of moisture and, unfortunately, fats do not evaporate. This will leave moisture in the food,…

SHE insists she was with her family when their alleged hotel tryst was supposed to have taken place. He maintains he didn’t cheat on his wife but admits he “didn’t do the Springbok jersey proud”. Meanwhile, his wife finds it only too easy to believe he’d taken this “family friend” to his guesthouse room for something other than professional conversation. Accusations, allegations and recriminations have flowed thick and fast since a Sunday newspaper reported rugby star Elton Jantjies had a steamy affair with Springbok team dietician Zeenat Simjee. We take a closer look at the ongoing drama the former Springbok is caught up in. THE GUESTHOUSE BASH Elton’s latest problems started after he recently booked a luxurious guesthouse and left without paying the R26 000 bill. The owners then complained…

THERE was no big announcement. Instead actress BLAKE LIVELY chose to reveal to the world that she’s expecting baby No 4 with husband RYAN REYNOLDS by displaying her bump loud and proud on the red carpet. The Age of Adaline star stepped out to the 10th Annual Forbes Power Women’s Summit, in a form-fitting Valentino Resort dress paired with Valentino Garavani shoes. During a conversation at the event the 35-year-old businesswoman talked about creativity. “I just like to create. Whether that’s baking or storytelling or businesses or humans, I just really like creating,” she joked. The actress – who’s already mom to daughters JAMES (7), INEZ (5) and BETTY (3) – said that it’s important for her kids to “see that you don’t have to choose one or the other”.…

CHRISSY TEIGEN is hitting back at vicious trolls slamming her for sharing that she previously had a life-saving abortion. The cookbook author recently revealed that the loss of her unborn son Jack in September 2020, with husband John Legend (43), had ended in an abortion; although she previously described it as a miscarriage. “It became very clear around halfway through that he wouldn’t survive, and that I wouldn’t either without any medical intervention,” Chrissy (36) said during a summit earlier this month. “Let’s just call it what it was: it was an abortion,” she continued. “An abortion to save my life for a baby that had absolutely no chance. And to be honest, I never ever put that together until, actually, a few months ago.” After discussing the experience, Chrissy…

1 TREND GLAZED SKIN Time to ditch your mattifying powders – the skin finish we’ll all be aiming for this spring/summer season is glazed, a tasty term used to describe ultra-hydrated, plump and dewy skin. A hydrating daily regime and skincare-infused makeup forms the backbone of this look. GET THE LOOK Start by gently exfoliating to remove any flakes and get the smoothest base possible. Drench skin with a hydrating essence or mask, followed by a hydrating serum. While your skin is absorbing your serum, mix a few drops of face oil with your moisturiser, using the heat from your palms to help combine them. Layering this on top of your other products helps to lock in the moisture and create that glowing-from-the-inside look. Apply a hydrating tinted moisturiser to…

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT I’M AN ALCOHOLIC? Q My wife has told me that she thinks I’m an alcoholic but I don’t think that’s true. I do not have a craving for alcohol all the time. What happens is that once every two or three months I have a beer (I don’t drink spirits) and it’s like I am unable to stop. I then become argumentative and once I’m in an argument I can’t let it go. While I don’t think I’m an alcoholic, I know that alcohol definitely has a bad effect on me sometimes. But it only happens occasionally. When I drink on these occasions it’s usually because it helps me relax. Most of the time I feel very tense, and I also have ADHD. Derek, email A…

SPARE a thought for tennis fans right now. First Serena Williams, now one of the greatest male players to grace the court is also saying farewell. Roger Federer announced he’s retiring from tennis, a sport he’s dominated for two decades. Having been dogged by injuries in recent years, Federer’s retirement wasn’t unexpected but was sad for fans nonetheless. “I’m 41 years old,” he said. “I’ve played more than 1 500 matches over 24 years. Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would’ve dreamt. And now I must recognise when it’s time to end my competitive career.” FROM BALL BOY TO CHAMPION STAND-OUT SWISS Like many young kids, Federer was a fan of many sports, but tennis stole his heart. “When my love of tennis started, I was a…
