Joan Robson – Fighting Fires Her Way
Joan Robson would tell you that she is just an ordinary woman and mother. “There is nothing very special about me” she says. She is wrong. Joan is the daughter of a farmer and a true country woman. She is a mother of 5, four sons and a daughter. She is grandmother to 12. She is a motherly sort of person that kids are always drawn to. She is a great cook and gardener. You would be very wrong if you thought that is not all there is to her. In her youth Joan was a light opera singer who was heard on ...
I’ll Have Fun When I’m Dead?
I’ll have fun when I’m dead? They say laughter is the best medicine … and it is! It has an amazing impact on the body, releasing all kinds of feel good hormones and building the immune system and what not. But why wait till we’re sick? How come we can’t have fun and do lots of laughing and prevent getting sick? Or is it only until we’re sick that we realise the benefits of FUN. Course, being adults and all growed up (allegedly) mucking about and having some childish fun is just not the done thing. You have to be serious and responsible ...
Work Your Curves
Dita Von Teese is a woman to envy. The American star exudes glamour, with her glossy, dark locks, vampy red lips, milky complexion, and racy curves. The pint-sized performer is the epitome of her passion – burlesque (a provocative performance art, featuring striptease and satire). Want a bit of the same glitz and glam in your life? Well, now you can with casual burlesque classes popping around the nation, often at dance studios. Sydney burlesque performer Holly J’aDoll, pictured, explains her attraction to the performance art: “I love the good, old-fashioned, ‘vaudevillian’ entertainment aspect of it all and the fact that it's about being ...
Unleash Your Inner Party Girl
How do you feel when a special envelope arrives in the mail? Handwritten. Pretty colour. Not a bill. Do you go “Yay! Party! Wedding! Ball!” or do you shudder, thinking “What am I going to wear?” or “I’m going to be the fattest person there.” For many women social events are not the fun occasions many assume them to be. They’re filled with dread and more often than not, this anxiety is centred on them feeling not attractive or good enough. We shouldn’t be surprised that many women feel this way. We live in a society that places an incredible amount of emphasis ...

Let me ask you a question – if you won a million dollars, what would you do with it? You’ll probably tell me that you’ll buy a house (if you don’t already have one) or perhaps you’ll pay off your mortgage and you’ll possibly be able to clear all your debt. Of course, you’ll have to have a party to celebrate, and you might give a share... [Read more of this review]

Do you ever have those days where you wonder what ever happened to the body that you used to have? How long is it since you did something that was just for your fun, health and fitness? Something where you didn’t have to take anyone else into account? Does this sound familiar? The last time I remember my body being truly my own was as a child.... [Read more of this review]
