FIRST LOVE YOURSELF I’M SORRY but this isn’t working. It’s not you, it’s me.” How many times have these words broken young girls’ hearts? They certainly left me crying myself to sleep countless nights. I remember wondering what was wrong with me. Why couldn’t anyone love me? Why didn’t anyone stay? These thoughts tormented me throughout my teens and early twenties. Then one day I decided: enough is enough. I’m done searching for love. I’d rather die alone than be hurt again. And so I stopped looking. I focused on myself. I stopped wondering what was wrong with me and started noticing all the beautiful parts of myself. I discovered I have a lovely smile. I’m funny. Pretty. Special. Slowly I started enjoying my own company. A week ago I…

HOW THEY COMPARE AGE Kate: 34 Sophie: 41 HEIGHT Kate: 1,75 m Sophie: 1,8 m YEARS MARRIED Kate: Five Sophie: Eleven SHE hogs the limelight wherever she goes, ever stylish and bestowing smiles on everyone who crosses her path – and all eyes are on the Duchess of Cambridge, as she, her husband and children embark on their first official overseas tour as a family of four. But Kate has some serious competition in the glamour stakes when she’s on Canadian soil as she goes head-to-head with one of the most vivacious first ladies in the world. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, wife of Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, is an attractive blonde with a love of fashion and the ability to rock practically anything she wears. Just like Kate. The two…

‘I’ve stopped hanging out in stupid places, I spend more time with my family now. When you’re facing jail time you realise what’s important’ – MANDOZA HE WAS kwaito’s original Mr Cool. The top dog. The man who gave us Nkalakatha, the ghetto song that broke the boundaries of pop music and brought black and white South Africans together on the dance floor like no one else had done before. But Mandoza was more than just a talented musician. He was a man who’d reached the heights of fame only to come crashing down as a fallen hero. And instead of staying down he got back up and triumphed over his many trials and tribulations, giving hope to those who were themselves seeking redemption. Tributes poured in from far and…

WAGGING tails and panting tongues greet us when Peanut the Yorkshire terrier and Maggie the dachshund accompany their owner, Marie Duvenhage, to the front door. She pretends to scold them. We pet them then take a closer look at the dogs – they are, after all, the reason why another more notorious visitor found her way to Marie’s door. “She was so pleasant and friendly and loved to chat,” Marie (77) says of the woman who used to come to her home to groom her pooches. But the groomer now finds herself behind bars awaiting trial. Police suspect the dogs were merely a decoy – and that Angelique Prinsloo (28) used her mobile doggie parlour to steal gold and diamond jewellery worth more than R1 million from women in Virginia…

TRICKS AND TIPS ALL ABOUT THAT BASE You might think applying petroleum jelly or lip balm under long-wearing or matte lipstick interferes with the lipsticks’ consistency but that’s not the case. Apply only a thin layer. TEXTURE If you have dry skin, consider using glossy textures that add a bit of sheen to your look. If your skin is oily, opt for velvet and matte textures to minimise shine.

TRICKS AND TIPS TAKE CARE If you have sensitive skin, use products that don’t contain alcohol – especially after shaving. Products with alcohol can cause skin to flare up. WHEN SHAVING Don’t use regular soap to shave as it can cause dryness, which could irritate the skin and cause bumps. Use a shaving soap or shaving cream instead.

POTTERING in the garden sounds like a pleasant way to spend your time. But it’s so much more than that. The benefits of gardening are seemingly endless. Not only does all that digging, pruning and weeding improve your physical health by increasing your activity level, it has wonderful mental health benefits too. A study done in the Netherlands even found that gardening can fight stress better than other relaxing leisure activities such as reading. But there’s another potential benefit – it can provide you with fresh, healthy, organic produce. What could be more satisfying than picking crunchy lettuce, juicy tomatoes or fragrant rosemary right outside your back door? You don’t even need that much space. You can plant a decent vegetable garden in a space the size of a kitchen…

EDDIE THE EAGLE 2016. 102 min. 7-9PG D. Biopic. R129* Michael “Eddie the Eagle” Edwards is one of those characters it would be hard to make up. In 1988 he competed for Britain at the Calgary Winter Olympics in the ski-jump – a death-defying event he was entirely useless at and came last in. Yet Eddie was an instant hit with the public who saw in him the embodiment of the Olympic spirit and celebrated him for his sheer determination to compete – and for managing not to kill himself. As a child Eddie had his heart set on competing in the Olympics one day but because of a dodgy leg his chances were slim. Later he became an accomplished snow skier but couldn’t make the Olympic team. Then he…

BRILLIANT EXCELLENT WORTHWHILE SO-SO IF YOU MUST A All ages D Drugs H Horror L Language N Nudity P Prejudice PG Parental guidance S Sex V Violence LISTEN TO THIS! ENCORE DJ SNAKE R165 This French DJ is definitely one to watch! He was Grammy-nominated for his production work on Lady Gaga’s 2011 album Born This Way and hit the spotlight as a solo artist in 2013 with his Alesia-assisted single Bird Machine. Since then the talented muso has been turning out hits such as Turn Down For What and Lean On. This 14-track debut album features Snake’s recent smash Talk (featuring George Maple) and the Justin Bieber-driven Let Me Love You, but despite some stellar dance tracks and A-list collabs it doesn’t break new ground.

THE BULL AND THE WORD A blonde and a redhead who own a cattle farm are distraught when their only bull dies. They immediately need to buy another one but they have only R5 000. “I don’t know if we have enough money to buy a bull but I’ll go to the stock auction and see if I can find one we can afford,” the redhead tells the blonde. “If I can I’ll send you a telegram to come and fetch the bull.” So the redhead goes to the stock auction and, lo…

RAPPER JACK PAROW (34) I wish I’d known that hangovers just get worse and worse with age – and that “hassle-free” drinking should be enjoyed while it lasts! That it would be a good idea to create apps for a taxi service and one to rent out property. That I shouldn’t eat so much f***ing fast food – because once your metabolism slows down you’re gonna k*k! ACTRESS DINEO RANAKA (32) I wish I’d known what my purpose was, namely a passion for people and an interest in wellness. I only discovered this recently. That I’d eventually end up studying psychology. It’s turned out to be a personal journey for me. And I wish I’d known how developing a stronger bond with my mother would cause a rift between my…

‘When you’re young, it’s hard not to get together with your co-star’ – AMANDA SEYFRIED A ring on it Amanda Seyfried & Thomas Sadoski Given their romance has been under the radar, it seems only fitting that Amanda’s engagement ring is low-key too. Instead of the giant sparklers so often favoured by her celebrity peers, the Love The Coopers actress chose a subtle gold band to announce her engagement to her co-star in the upcoming film The Last Word. The couple met when they starred in an Off-Broadway play last year. At the time Amanda (30) was dating actor Justin Long (38) while Thomas (40) was married to casting director Kimberly Hope. But he filed for divorce in October last year. Engaged? Corey Gamble & Kris Jenner Kris and Corey,…

We have new respect for KATY PERRY (31). The Rise singer recently tweeted how she helped to deliver her sister’s baby at 2 pm and was in a recording studio by 8 pm! “Get a girl that can do both!” Katy gleefully tweeted. And this isn’t the first time. Two years ago she helped her sister, Angela Hudson (33), to give birth to her first child. “Finally you can add, ‘Helps deliver babies in living rooms’ to my résumé!’ ” she posted at the time. You don’t say! Turns out Zayn Malik (23) is one hot cook! His girlfriend, US model GIGI HADID (21), says the British singer makes a “brilliant curry. Butter chicken is his signature dish.” But what she likes best about the former One Directioner isn’t his…

Congrats to HILARIA (32) and ALEC BALDWIN (58) on the birth of their second son, LEONARDO, who made his Instagram debut not long after he made his way into the big, wide world! His proud mama – looking as perfect as ever, may we just add – was quick to share snaps of her newborn as she lay in hospital with him and later meeting his actor dad and siblings, sister CARMEN (3) and brother RAFAEL (14 months). REAL BODY Just 24 hours after giving birth, the Spanish yoga instructor posted a picture of her bare belly in a bid to “normalise a real body and promote healthy self-esteem”. @hilariabaldwin We are so pleased to introduce you to our new baby, Leonardo Ãngel Charles Baldwin. It was such a special…

TRICKS AND TIPS RIGHTWAYWhen washing your hair, don’t rub your scalp vigorously. Move your fingers in a circular motion while gently applying pressure. STYLING IT Use a straightener with ceramic instead of metal plates for frizz-free hair. CURLS Instead of a towel use an old T-shirt to dry your hair straight after washing. It helps to retain more moisture in your hair and to keep your curls in place.

TRICKS AND TIPS CARE FOR YOUR CUTICLES If you regularly go to the salon to have your nails done, invest in cuticle oil. After each treatment your cuticles might become dry due to the chemicals and products the salon uses and cuticle oil helps to keep cuticles hydrated. GIVE THEM A BREAK Give your nails a break in-between salon visits so they can breathe. Nails that are always covered in acrylic or gel tend to become weak over time.

BREAKFAST is the most important meal of the day. Starting your day with Jungle Oats gives your body sustained energy to keep you feeling fuller for longer, and it’s high in dietary fibre to keep your digestive system regular. Oats contain beta-glucan, a soluble fibre that has been known to help reduce cholesterol by binding to the “bad” cholesterol in your blood. Soluble fibre from foods such as oats, when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A 40 g serving of Jungle Oats gives you 1,5 g of the recommended 3 g of soluble fibre you need a day to help keep your heart healthy. Jungle Oats is also low in sodium (salt).

I’m on medication but it doesn’t work. I can’t talk to my parents about it as my real dad abandoned me when I was a baby, my stepdad told me he hates me and my mother just isn’t a good person to talk to. I recently broke up with my boyfriend and my mother didn’t even comfort me. All she said was, “Thank God – that boy was messing with your life.” But he wasn’t. I know I’m young to have a boyfriend but he made me feel happy for the…

THE GREATEST – SIA FT KENDRICK LAMAR This uplifting new tune from the Aussie singer is another great chart contender, taken to a new level by Kendrick Lamar’s contribution. The video is also a must-see – it features Sia’s long-time collaborator, dancer Maddie Ziegler (13), who leads a troupe of 49 child dancers in a touching tribute to the 49 members of the LGBT community killed in a Florida nightclub earlier this year. PERFECT ILLUSION – LADY GAGA Does Gaga’s comeback tune live up to the hype? Critics seem divided but fans love it – the first single off Mother Monster’s upcoming fifth album topped the iTunes charts in more than 60 countries. It showcases Gaga’s pipes and is part rock, part pop with a good dose of dance music.…

DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL She started singing when she was seven and pursued it as a career at 16 after dropping out of school to attend a theatre school. “I wanted to go somewhere where I could be myself.” FAMILY BACKING Louisa’s dad, David Johnson, split from her mom, Lisa Hawkyard, when she was three years old, but they remain close. “They’ve helped me out so much; every little thing they’ve ever done has been towards helping me achieve my goals. Now it’s time to repay them,” Louisa (18) says. BOO FOR BODY-SHAMING “I grew up with really low self-esteem,” she says, adding that social media adds pressure to look good all the time. “I’ve always had a slim frame, but my weight is up and down.”…

WE DON’T eat only because we’re hungry and need to stay alive – eating is one of the great pleasures of life. Meals are part of our family life and we use food to celebrate – just think of birthday parties. We eat a wide variety of food so that our meals stay interesting and also to ensure we get various vitamins and minerals. Our bodies need healthy food to be able to grow and for our general wellbeing. REMEMBER TO DRINK WATER Drinking enough water is as necessary for staying healthy as taking in enough vitamins, minerals and energy. We lose water through our kidneys, digestive system, skin and lungs. Most of this happens without us even knowing it. Some experts say you should drink six to eight glasses…

DOCTORS said it was unlikely she’d live beyond the age of 14. She was born with a weak heart and stumps instead of arms and legs so the odds were stacked against her from the start. But Bessie George has proved everyone wrong. Not only has she just turned 90, she’s outlived most of her family. The nonagenarian recently celebrated her big day at Huis Lückhoff retirement home in Rosebank, Cape Town, where she’s lived for the past 26 years. Her only surviving nephew, Bill George (71), whom she helped to raise, organised the bash. When YOU last wrote about Bessie she stood 89 cm tall and wore a child’s size 11 shoe (YOU, 4 February 1993). Since then she’s shrunk by 7 cm, and after two strokes is now…

A challenging role as an actress and a hosting job that sees her interviewing Africa’s most popular celebs – what more could a girl want? Gorgeous AYANDATHABETHE, new co-host of BET Africa A-List, says she loves that the show “celebrates black excellence and what makes us truly remarkable as a continent”. Other than her new gig, the 30-year-old has been kept busy filming Mzanzi Magic soapie Rockville, in which she plays exotic dancer Aliyah. Although she was hesitant at first because she’d never taken on such a big role before, Ayanda threw herself into it with gusto – even taking pole-dancing classes to make sure she had all the right moves. We caught up with the go-getter, who’s also the founder and MD of marketing agency Buzzworthy. Q & A…

Dyambeu Investments, a company owning a 26 percent stake in VBS Mutual Bank, is co-owned by VaVenda King Toni Mphephu Ramabulana. His right to the throne has been a matter of dispute since 2012 when his 24-year-old niece, Princess Masindi Mphephu, filed court papers arguing she’s the rightful heir to throne but had been overlooked because she’s a woman. Before this application Zuma had announced Ramabulana as king and earlier this year announced there would be a coronation ceremony for him. Masindi, the only child of late chief Tshimangadzo Mphephu, was granted an urgent interdict to stop the ceremony. VBS’s decision to grant Zuma the R7,8 million loan came two weeks after the interdict and Mbulaheni Mphephu, a member of the royal family and Masindi’s uncle, says the timing is…

TRICKS AND TIPS CLEANSING If you have oily skin that’s prone to breakouts, use a cleanser that has salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin and remove impurities. Then use a moisturiser with hyaluronic acid to minimise shine. TAKE CARE Stay out of the sun between 10 am and 3 pm as this is when it does the most damage. If you have to be out and about, use sunscreen and cool your skin afterwards with an after-sun spray or lotion.

Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it won’t replace you as the driver – AYN RAND, RUSSIAN-AMERICAN NOVELIST WHAT IS IT? Debt consolidation is when you take out a new loan and use the money to pay off all your old debts. The advantage is that the amount you pay every month is smaller because the loan can be paid off over a longer period, which makes it a more affordable plan if you’re struggling. It also means you now have just one debit order on which you pay one service fee. It might be better for your credit record to consolidate your debts instead of falling behind on payments. IT WORKS LIKE THIS Many banks and other lenders offer loans specifically…

THE adventurous Piet Marais and Frik Oosthuizen, founders of Santa Anna’s organic tortillas and corn chips, invited us to a Mexican feast in their new pop-up bar, The Hanger in Gordon’s Bay near Cape Town. Here are some of the delicious dishes we enjoyed. NACHOS WITH BEER AND CHEESE SAUCE Nachos originated in the city of Piedras Negras in Mexico when restaurant manager Ignacio “Nacho” Anaya served leftovers to tourists who’d arrived after his kitchen had closed. He whipped up a meal of tortillas, cheese and jalapeño chillies.

‘GIDEON Tau fights demons. But he’s no good guy. He has a wand. But don’t dare call him Harry Potter. He has a talking dog for a spirit guide. But he’s a mean drunk and he sure as hell ain’t nobody’s best friend.” This is the plot of Poison City, part one of a dark fantasy crime series that recently hit the shelves. Intrigued, we tracked down its author, Paul Crilley – a Scotsman who now lives in Hillcrest in the greater Durban area – to find out what inspired him to write it. If you had to give a one-minute elevator pitch for this novel, what would you say? Short answer: a supernatural crime thriller with gods, magic, a bad-tempered, alcoholic talking dog and a man searching for his…
