In the July issue of FAIRLADY I mentioned American designer Emily McDowell. When she was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma 14 years ago, Emily couldn’t believe the daft things people said to her about it. So what she did was start a thriving business designing cards with real messages that real people going through real cancer might want to hear. I love her designs (see emilymcdowell.com ), but most of all I love her point, which I understand as: can we all please just grow up and get real about this? Some of Emily’s cards go like this: ‘I promise never to refer to your illness as a “journey” unless someone takes you on a cruise’; ‘Please let me be the first to punch the next…

motivated by his ambition to offer only the finest jewellery at affordable prices, NWJ founder Hylton Rabinowitz bought one of KZN’s oldest jewellery manufacturers (founded in 1928) and incorporated it into the NWJ we know today. Controlling their sourcing, manufacturing, supply and distribution channels means NWJ cuts out the middleman and the attendant markups to ensure customers get the best for less. Doing things their own way also allows the company to be at the forefront of international trends, and state-of-the-art computing and laser technology affords them a whopping 12 000 lines of manufacturing. What’s more, gemologists personally select the stones for every piece, and each stone is individually set and polished by hand. With such attention to detail, it’s no wonder NWJ continues to impress! QUESTION: How many lines…

drew Barrymore wears many hats. Actress, director, producer, businesswoman, author, photographer, wife, mother… But whatever the role, she is always utterly honest in it – wholly herself, sans airs and graces. She trusts her gut. Makes people feel at ease. She’s relatable. She’s not perfect – and doesn’t want to be. Drew today is still the edgy, ballsy and bolshy A-lister we’ve always known and loved, but she’s quietly slipped into a role that suits her perfectly. She’s been married to Will Kopelman, an art consultant, since June 2012. ‘I try to be a good shiksa wife,’she said in an interview last year.‘I go to Central Synagogue in New York.’ Drew and Will were casual friends for years, but reconnected in 2011. For Will, falling in love with Drew was…

We know that diet and lifestyle play a key role in our health and can increase or decrease our risk of cancer. But it’s difficult to make informed choices because the advice on nutrition is often conflicting – with the vested interests of the food industry further confounding things. But the ketogenic diet is increasingly being viewed as a promising option. The link between diet and cancer The antitumorigenic (that is, counteracting the formation of tumours) and life-prolonging effects of caloric restriction on cancer were first confirmed in the early 20th century. Science has also proven links between obesity and cancer risk. But when certain cancerous tissues didn’t respond to dietary restriction while others did, researchers were left asking, ‘Could something else be playing a role?’– for instance, the source…

We meet in a manor house turned boutique hotel in The Glen in Camps Bay. It’s a typically cold Cape winter’s day, a bleak sun making the odd appearance. Ruda enters the lounge, elegantly casual in black slacks with a grey, black and red pashmina draped around her shoulders. A roaring fire warms the room. She remarks with a twinkle that apparently the owner’s only instruction to the architect was that he wanted a house ‘people would envy’. Ruda is in Cape Town to launch her new TV programme for kykNET, called VeranderDinge (Change things). She is one of South Africa’s best-known and admired television personalities, and has earned every bit of her reputation as a journalist with integrity, particularly through her 19 years as co-anchor on Carte Blanche, the…

SOME GREAT PRODUCTS FOR YOUR SKIN DURING TREATMENT: Nimue Makeup Remover, R369 Esse Body Oil, R350 Placecol Vitamin E Silk, R350 Africa Organics Kalahari Melon Body Lotion, R39 Placecol Optimum Hydro Mask, R250 Coverderm Maxydrat Visage, R406 Plain Ordinary Skincare Moisturising Balm, R310 Lipidol Cleansing Body Oil, R79,95 ‘The drugs thin the skin, making it more prone to severe sun damage with lasting consequences.’ You can expect dry, itchy, sensitive and peeling skin. Being diagnosed with cancer and going through chemo and radiotherapy are two of the most intensely emotional roller-coasters that life can take you on. And women in particular are often faced with another struggle at the same time – many report feeling as though they’re being stripped of their femininity. While chemo and radiation are necessary, they…

Go Set a Watchman By Harper Lee (HarperCollins) When we first met Scout Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM), she was just a child, growing up in Alabama. Lee chose to set the story in the 1950s because she wanted to write a book about race. Narrated by the young, innocent Scout, it was an optimistic story. Now, in Watchman, Scout is all grown up and goes by her birth name, Jean Louise. In this sequel, though, we learn that not everything was as it seemed... My heart broke with Jean Louise’s as she realises that her father, as well as Henry, who’s courted her since her childhood, are not the men she thought they were. That Calpurnia, who raised her and who is now old and frail, is…

If you’re having trouble with baking, keep these tips in mind to help you get perfect results every time. • If you haven’t baked in a while, check that your baking agents (baking powder, bicarb and self-raising flour) are still fresh and active by placing a heaped teaspoon into a cup of boiling water. If it’s fresh, it will immediately fizz and bubble. If it doesn’t, buy a fresh batch. • Preparation is key. Before you bake, carefully read the recipe and method, gather and measure all your ingredients, and preheat the oven. Remember to reduce the temperature by 20ºC if you have a fan-assisted oven; it heats up more than a conventional oven. • Don’t be tempted to open the oven unless at least 75% of the cooking time…

Q & A WITH Katrine Robenhagen ART DIRECTOR FOR ROBIN SPRONG WALLPAPER Any tips on choosing the right wallpaper for your space? ‘Be sensitive to the atmosphere and history of the space. Excite with contrasts or keep it subtle with similar tones. Also consider the colour and pattern scale, and especially let your choice be led by the amount and type of light source. For a small, dark space, go for wallpaper with pale colours that reflect light. Small-scale patterns can also add a sense of spaciousness. The current supersized wallpaper trend works well in large, empty spaces, creating intimacy. Lots of natural light allows you to bring in vibrant colours.’ What would you suggest for anyone a bit wary of taking the plunge? ‘Dress up your space with an…

LIBRA 23 SEPT – 22 OCT Making your presence felt is what success is about for you now. And while you’re at it, be sure to align yourself with those whose ethics complement your own. Just as important though, is to promise only what you can deliver – especially before the 9th, when hardly anything is possible. As you know, if you over-commit, your hard-earned reputation could take a serious knock. Remember though, you have herds of wonderful friends. Ask them to help you. Your strength returns by the 10th. SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV More to get your mind off a temporarily ghastly home life than anything else, you find yourself wanting to study something completely different. Don’t fight the urge. It’s actually part of a planetary ruse…

winning letter ‘We need to be positive role models and look out for our children.’ I want to say thank you for ‘People we admire: Jacqui Thomas’ (August 2015). I am a teacher by profession and what stood out for me is the last section: ‘You cannot always be a friend to your child.’ We often find that parents do not know what is happening in their children’s lives and who their friends are. In many sad instances, parents don’t even know who their children’s teachers are. This is a reality we deal with daily, and that’s why each one of us is called to be a ‘parent’: to play a role in the lives of the children within our communities, our religious groups, our schools, etc. We need to…

Q: What do you eat each day, as part of your ketogenic diet? A: I don’t really worry too much about what I eat. If I’m not hungry, I keep breakfast light and wait until later in the day to ‘break my fast’. If I do have breakfast, I tend to have an omelette with some meat and vegetables, a handful of nuts (generally macadamia and cashews), a cup of tea and a half a glass of full cream (not milk, actual cream). That really fills me up and generally keeps me going through the day. As a snack, I eat some mixed nuts and/or cheese. I don’t tend to eat lunch as I am on the move all day. Dinner is generally meat, sometimes fish, and lots of…

Best books? Canadian novelist/playwright Robertson Davies: He takes you on a journey. André P Brink’s Chain of Voices was a spur to my awakening process. And good crime fiction. Does JP cook? He makes the fire and braais the meat. I try to dream up different and appetising bykos (side dishes). What makes you laugh? My husband’s dry sense of humour. An ironic comment from him early in the morning can have me in stitches. What stimulates you? Engaging with something or someone; the respect one owes to the preparation of, for instance, a forthcoming interview. Anything that particularly riles you? People who run down this country. But especially racism. How do you relax? With a good book or around a table with good wine and a small group of…

Comedy has come a long way from the classic stand-up format: one guy under a spotlight with a microphone, delivering punchlines. Over the past few years, comics have shifted gears and have taken on new roles: undercover activist, social commentator and even educator. And they are getting real-life results. OLIVER’S TWIST News parody shows such as The Colbert Report, The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight seem to be more interested in making sense of the world than in making their viewers laugh, although they do that too. Take Brit comedian John Oliver. After working on The Daily Show under his mentor Jon Stewart for more than seven years – first as a correspondent, then as an Emmy-winning writer and briefly as a stand-in host, he went solo in April…

Take action Write down the areas of your life that feel out of control, where things are piling up and need to get done – work, finances, home, health, friends, family and hobbies. You don’t have to tackle all these areas and their tasks now. Just get them all out of your head and onto a piece of paper; this action alone will make you feel lighter, less overwhelmed, and free. Now take a look at your list. What are the essentials? Be practical. What actions do you need to take sooner rather than later? What definitely needs to get done and what can wait? Who can help? When change comes, time seems to disappear. You get so busy that you don’t have a second to focus on “all the…

BRONZE AGE WHY WE LOVE IT: Bronze eyeshadow is what this summer’s all about. We love the mix of shades a bronze eye palette contains, from gorgeous golds to rich metallic coppers. It works for every eye colour, making your colour pop, no matter what it is. A lot softer than a traditional smokey eye (which can age you if you overdo it), bronze eye makeup is so easy to blend that you can build up or downplay your look without mess or fuss. IT’S TIMELESS BECAUSE… it’s incredibly flattering. Stick to a cream shadow instead of a powder, as a cream formulation accentuates the eyes and gives them a brighter, wider-eyed look. They stay on longer and don’t crease on mature, dry skin as much as powder does. Don’t…

Kees Beyers, founder and CEO of Beyers Chocolates is a master chocolatier with a passion for quality chocolate. He offers us some tips on how to distinguish quality chocolate from the mediocre variety: ‘Use your senses. Quality chocolate should look smooth and uniform in colour, with no bubbles or imperfections; it should break with a clear “snap” and have a rich, chocolate scent – little or no scent indicates that the chocolate is stale or of inferior quality. When eaten, it should melt immediately and have a silky mouthfeel with a lingering flavour. ‘Other signs to look out for are the price – good quality chocolates are handcrafted with superior ingredients and care, so expect to pay a bit more. Quality chocolate should be high in cacao, cocoa solids and…

East London-born Masande has signed international deals in both the US (Two Dollar Radio) and Germany (Verlag das Wunderhorn) for his novel, The Reactive, which is set in Cape Town and follows a young man with HIV. Masande’s earlier short story, Space, was shortlisted for the Caine Prize. We caught up with this bright star in SA’s literary constellation. I feel excited. It’s a dream of South African authors to reach a market beyond our borders. I published my first story in high school. At varsity I published two more. But I wanted to write full-time, so in 2011 I enrolled for a Master’s in Creative Writing at UCT, under Imraan Coovadia. The Reactive was my thesis in 2013. But before that I’d written a short story called Space. [Space…

FALAFEL Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Place in a blender and add ½ chopped red onion, 3 garlic cloves, 3 tbsp flatleaf parsley, 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves, 1 tbsp ground cumin and 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but not too smooth. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add 3 tbsp self-raising flour and seasoning, and stir until well combined. Roll into teaspoon-size balls and deep-fry in canola oil for about 5 min or until golden. Serve with lemon wedges. ROASTED CHICKPEAS Drain, rinse and dry the chickpeas. Place on a baking tray and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp each garlic powder, paprika, cumin and ground coriander, ¼ tsp chilli powder and a big pinch of salt. Bake…

Business: Pichulik Owner: Katherine-Mary Pichulik START-UP COSTS: ‘I didn’t start with seed capital. My mom lent me some money that I paid back, but our startup costs were very low.’ PROFIT: ‘We started making money really quickly. Profits are good.’ ‘It’s not just about making jewellery,’ explains Katherine-Mary Pichulik. ‘It’s about how jewellery can be used to honour someone, and that it can hold sacred qualities if you craft it with that intention.’ After studying Fine Art, Katherine-Mary decided to travel through India and Spain. After which – three years ago now – she came home ‘really broke’, she says. To make ends meet, she took on multiple jobs and used her evenings to design and make jewellery. A photographer friend, her ex-boyfriend’s little sister and the Company’s Garden in…

We all know that you can’t force two people to like, or even tolerate, each other. But according to research by Arthur Aron, a social psychologist at the State University of New York, with a little bit of self-disclosure and interpersonal responsiveness, it is possible to manufacture closeness. In the study, which was originally published 20 years ago, pairs of strangers were placed in a lab and had to go through 36 specific questions together, taking turns to listen and answer. This ‘Closeness-Generating Procedure’ is ‘explicitly structured to create maximum felt closeness in a short period’, and the results were so successful that one pair ended up getting married, inviting the whole lab to their wedding. This year, nearly 20 years after the study was published, New York Times writer…

How do I know I’m ‘there’? You’ll see a change in the pattern of periods (lighter or heavier, every two or three weeks or only every few months), hot flushes (the most common symptom, seen in three of every four women), night sweats, loss of libido, vaginal pain and dryness, itching or discomfort during sex, palpitations, headaches, depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, tiredness, lack of energy, insomnia. Besides that, you’re probably at a crossroads. You have an empty nest – your kids are leaving home; perhaps you haven’t reached your goals – you ask, I’m 50-odd, what have I achieved? Women who don’t have hot flushes or any other symptoms have no idea why anyone would want to use hormone therapy. They are the ones who are celebrating the rite…

When should I start with pocket money? As soon as your child can count! When your child is very young, you can give them a few coins to buy a treat. Children love the sense of independence of paying themselves and they learn that money has a value. The bonus is that it encourages maths skills – they learn to calculate and count change. Should I link chores to pocket money? Each family has different views on this, but I want my children to learn the relationship between work and money, so our children have certain chores that they need to complete each week. Basic duties like making their beds, keeping their room tidy or hanging up their towels do not earn them pocket money – those are expected as…

Exotic mushrooms Exotic mushrooms are known for their versatility and gentle flavours. You can add them to soups, stir-fries or even raw, in salads. They boast health benefits too: the small shimeji mushrooms and king oyster mushrooms are believed to help lower cholesterol and aid weight loss, and shiitake mushrooms are known to have antiviral and anti-tumour properties. Flaxseed Flaxseed, also known as linseed, has a low carb content and provides a delicious crunch in muesli and granola. In ground form, flaxseed is a great substitute for high-carb wheat flours (in cakes and sauces) if you’re aiming to reduce your carb intake. Flaxseed should always be bought whole and stored in the fridge or freezer, as it goes rancid fairly quickly – especially in ground form.…

Ask Linda van der Poel DipCABT (NOCN UK) CertCABT animal behaviourist and positive reinforcement trainer Q My cat constantly grooms himself, to the point that he is hurting himself. We live in a flat, and we spoil our cat with toys and decadent fishy food. Please help! Linda: You need to isolate which of the many variables may be causing the problem. Here are some suggestions: • Keep a photographic diary of your cat’s injuries, as well as a history of his diet, flea products and details like visits from friends. • Stress can cause over-grooming. Do visits from your friends cause more ‘grooming’? Do you have a new partner, housekeeper or garden service? Do you have a ‘visiting cat’ who may be hanging around at your window or…

HOW WE TESTED All the lights were placed in a garden so they would receive a similar amount of sunlight. They were monitored for the length of time they were on after sunny and cloudy days. They were also assessed for how well they withstood the elements. HOW THEY WORK Photovoltaic cells absorb sunlight during the day and the energy is stored in rechargeable batteries. Each light comes with a photosensor, and when the sunlight fades the light emitting diodes (LEDs) turn on automatically. The lights have to be placed in an area that ideally receives eight or more hours of sunlight per day. If your solar lights are not working, first check that the solar panel is getting enough direct sunlight. They all have rechargeable batteries that last about…

The problem with articles that have annoying titles such as Five Things Really Successful People Do Before Going To Bed is that I am almost guaranteed to click on them and read them, which is probably why I’m not getting enough sleep. I read another one yesterday, which said that these paragons of industry and virtue all turn their phones and computers off long before they go to sleep. Well, so do I, I thought, pleased to see we had that much in common. I turn my phone and laptop off at about two o’clock in the morning and find I’m so wired from the glowing screens that I can’t actually get to sleep for another couple of hours at least. And then when I still really can’t sleep, I…
