MAKE
YOUR BED
Fluffed pillows
are more than pretty the
sheer act of making the
bed can set you up for
success. You start your
day with a tiny, but real,
accomplishment, says
Gretchen Rubin, author
of Happier At Home
(Hodder & Stoughton).
And in a huge survey, 71%
of bedmakers described
themselves as happy
compared with 62%
of non-bedmakers.
MOISTURISE
This is how
you get people
to say, Youre too
young to have kids that
grown-up! A study found
that someone with wellhydrated skin will develop
wrinkles as she ages, of
course, but with dry skin,
shell develop almost
twice as many. Apply
moisturiser morning
and night.
GIVE A COMPLIMENT
Like your baristas earrings?
Tell her youll both have a
better day. Being altruistic boosts
your mood, says Shana Cole, who
studies the effects of compliments
at New York University in the US. It
works best if youre sincere. Make
sure compliments have legitimately
been earned, Cole says.

DRINK H2O
Any dehydration can affect mood,
energy level and ability to think
clearly, according to two studies from
the University of Connecticut in the US.
Women who were slightly dehydrated
also reported tasks to be harder and
found it more difficult to concentrate, says
Lawrence Armstrong, one of the studies
lead authors. Keep a bottle of water nearby.

women everywhere with their promise to flush out toxins, jumpstart weight loss, clear skin and tap new energy. But these extreme
programmes can be unhealthy and angry-making. (Just try being

We do accumulate toxins, says nutrition expert Dr Melina Jampolis.
But our body is built to cleanse itself constantly. The way you live
has a more profound impact than any fast fix. Follow this advice

Powder Foundation
What it is: There are two kinds: baked and
pressed. Baked ones tend to be lighter and
have a slightly glowy nish. Pressed ones
make your skin matt.
Why youll like it: It will give you a shinefree, poreless effect. Anyone can use it,
but its extra-smart for women with oily
skin who want to avoid looking shiny.
And, of course, it wont leak in your bag.

Why youll like it: Creams are a quick and easy alternative to
liquids, and go on sheer but can be layered where extra coverage
is needed. Theyre particularly great for dry skin, since they wont
settle into akes or dry patches.
How to apply: You can smooth these formulas on with the sponge that
comes in the compact or use a foundation brush, but Bass suggests just
using your ngers to melt the formula into the skin around your nose
and jawline.

Tinted
Moisturiser
What it is: Exactly what it says
a moisturiser with a bit of colour to
the formula, which will subtly tone
down minor redness or unevenness.
Why youll like it: Tinted moisturiser
is like a baby step into full-face
makeup. Its sheerer than
even a BB cream, it really
moisturises and it doesnt
feel like you have anything
on. If you want to start
small, heres your product.
How to apply: Smooth it on

Theres one for every issue under the sun (and around your eyes). If puffiness
is your problem, try a cream with caffeine or vitamin K these help to
ush out uids. To combat circles, a cream with caffeine (again!) constricts
the blood vessels that make them are up. A formula with vitamin C
or arbutin can help fade brown spots. To soften crows-feet, look for
retinol to boost collagen and antioxidants to prevent further damage.

HOW-TO
Start out by prepping your skin with Claudia Stevens Facial Prep Foundation Base and Palladio
Herbal Eyeshadow Primer to create the perfect base for your foundation and eye shadow. Apply
BioNike Defence Color Moisturising Foundation Natural Effect SPF15 to even out your skin
tone. Pair the Palladio Baked Bronzer in Caribbean Tan and Palladio Baked Blush in Choc-aulait to brighten the cheeks, and blend the two products with a Palladio Bronzer Brush. At this
age, you can have fun with deeper hues on the eyes and lips, but stick to accentuating only one
feature with each look. Make lips pop with Palladio Herbal Lipstick in Just Red and keep eyes
natural with Palladio Silk FX All-in-One Herbal Eyeshadow in Debutante. Neaten eyebrows with
Palladio Brow Pencil in Black, and nish by lining eyes with Palladio Herbal Precision Eyeliner in
Black Onyx and adding volume to lashes with BioNike Defence Color Volume Mascara.
Before
40s
HOW-TO
A creamy medium foundation like BioNike Defence Color Lifting Foundation Luminous Effect SPF15
covers aws and gives skin a natural radiance. Prep lips and eyes with Claudia Stevens Lid and Lip
Primer Base for the makeup to stay longer and to prevent the eye shadow from creasing and bleeding.
For understated, glamorous smoky eyes, apply Palladio Silk FX All-in-One Herbal Eyeshadow in Femme
Fatale with the Palladio Smudge Brush and nish off with BioNike Defence Color Volume Mascara.
Neaten and shape the eyebrows with Palladio Brow Pencil in Taupe. Shape and ll lips with your lipliner,
as this will help your lipstick adhere better and last longer. Choose one thats either the exact colour as
your lips or a shade lighter, like the Palladio Herbal Precision Lipliner in Cranberry, then complete the
look with Palladio Herbal Lipstick in Wine Berry. Give cheeks a light dusting of Palladio Herbal Baked
Blush in Wish.

HOW-TO
A liquid foundation that contains anti-ageing ingredients and has a creamy texture,
such as BioNike Defence Color Filler Foundation SPF 15, will give dull and dry
complexions a moisture boost. Apply it lightly with a Palladio Foundation Brush. To
smooth out ne lines, apply Claudia Stevens Eye Prep Lid Primer on your eyelids
for an even canvas. Palladio Herbal Eyeshadow Quad in Copper n Chic gives eyes
a more natural nish for a younger look. Apply Palladio Herbal Precision Eyeliner in
Dark Chocolate and BioNike Defence Color Volume Mascara to complete the look.
Sweep Palladio Herbal Baked Blush in Blushin on the apples of your cheeks. Avoid
dark lipstick, as it emphasises thinning lips. If you love a splash of colour, try a bright
shade like Palladio Herbal Lipstick in Coral Punch. A light dusting of Palladio Rice
Powder on the T-zone will help get rid of shine and help makeup last longer. Q

I worry that you might be too
spoilt, for which I accept blame,
but how difficult it is not to give
generously to those we cherish!
I pray for a long life, in which Im
blessed with many, many years
of your friendship and company.
Stefano, stay as erce and
focused on your goals as you are
now, and success will be yours.
Luca, keep singing and smiling;
your wit and charm will always
melt hearts. Above all, my boys,
strive to remain humble, generous
and gracious, like your mother.

DEAR DEWAN,
Always be kind. Be responsible.
Smell the rain. Read a lot. Question
everything its not bad manners, it
is essential to learn. Sing and dance
often. Laugh at yourself. Be honest.
Learn to make good coffee. Visit
obscure places. Talk to people. Walk
barefoot. Pay compliments. Wait
patiently. Show empathy. Be amazed.
Check your spelling. Play. Learn to live
with your shortcomings. Find love and
cherish it. Be spontaneous. Save a bit
of money. Keep your promises. Take
risks. Admit when youre wrong. Buy
and use the right tools. Never be too
hard on yourself. Know that I love you.

Now that my little girls are grown women and mothers with kids of their
own, I know that being a father is not just having children to love and care
for; it is the most meaningful and rewarding journey through my life that never stops
evolving. It was not just being your dad, but giving you space to be yourself; respect and
support for all your hopes, dreams and achievements; and always being close if you
needed me and knowing that you would call on me when all else failed, just to speak to
your daddy and get up and face your challenges. The greatest moments have been those
silent ones when you just look at me and I know what is in your heart and mind before
you speak more so when you look at me and cry tears of love. That, to me, is being your
father, and the reward in having love in a family.
Thank you for being my daughters.

easier ironing, so get the largest one you can comfortably accommodate, without it being too
heavy and cumbersome
We tested nine ironing boards and assessed them for height, weight, sturdiness, convenience and ease of use.

BIG AND STABLE
Retractaline la Premier board (R700, Game). Testers loved using this. Its a long, wide board
(123cm x 38cm), making it really easy to iron on. Its also fairly heavy (5,6kg) and has
an impressive 10 different height settings between 51cm and 92cm. You adjust the
height by pushing on the metal lever, which is a simple operation. The legs are metal
with rubber stoppers on the end, making it nonslip on different oor surfaces. It has
a useful integrated clothes rack for storing laundry and comes with a separate
sleeve and collar board, which is very handy. There is also a cord minder
for keeping the cord out of the way. The board is metal mesh,
which allows the steam to penetrate and then escape
underneath. The iron sits comfortably in the iron rest.
The fabric cover is removable for washing. It has
a thin foam layer underneath for padding.

Quality metal mesh ironing board (R250, Checkers Hyper stores). This comes with a useful sleeve board and a built-in wire rack
that sits under the board, which is very handy for storing unironed or ironed laundry. The sleeve board doesnt have a clip to hold
the legs upright, so testers were concerned about its stability. The board is big 121cm x 38cm so ironing is easy, especially
bulky items like sheets and duvet covers. There are seven height settings from 67cm to 91cm. Testers found the iron sits very
comfortably and securely in the iron rest. The top of the board is metal mesh, so the steam passes all the way through the board.
The board was rather unsteady on all the different surfaces, and it appeared to have one leg slightly shorter than the others.
For its size, this board is really light: 4,4kg.

SALAD SCISSORS | R69,90 | Verimark
THE PITCH: For fast-track preparation of chopped salads.
THE TRUTH: Our testers chopped salad staples like lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber, and
although they said the blades were sharp, they struggled to chop the tomato and
cucumber into small pieces. They said the scissors were easy to hold and use.
BOTTOM LINE: The salad scissors are better suited to chopping herbs and
leafy greens. Q

Cheer up your
BATHROOM!
The average woman spends one and a half years in the bathroom
over her lifetime. (Seriously, google it!) So shouldnt you give this
space some love? Bathrooms are the easiest place to be fearless
and have fun, says design expert Susanna Salk. You can do
a lot without spending a lot. Weve got 13 contractor-free ways
to make your room a bright and blissful refuge. By Emily Hsieh

Go wild with wallpaper Since bathrooms are small, you dont have to
buy that much paper. Also, you wont be in there 24/7, so you can get
a little kooky with your pattern. If you paper a room that gets steamy,
add extra paste at the seams, and always run your fan while showering.
Or try vinyl decals (we love the My Wall Tattoos range) theyll hold up
to moisture, and you can just peel them off when you want a new look.

In our Good Housekeeping test kitchens, we create recipes that are family-friendly,
healthy and easy to make. We test each recipe at least three times and often
several more times after that to ensure that every recipe works on any stove and
with any brand of cookware and ingredients. Here is our system:
CREATE
A recipe developer
prepares the dish and
presents it to the food
team. We decide whether
it meets our high standards
of deliciousness but thats
just the beginning. For
example, weeknight meals
should take 30 minutes or
less to prepare. The same
person tests the recipe
several more times to
ne-tune its avour and
user-friendliness, using the
same equipment. Then the
recipe is edited for clarity.
