Eileen Joyce - International star
Have you heard of Eileen Joyce? Any bells ringing for you? I can guarantee that most Australians have never heard the name or one of this country’s most famous pianists of all times. How can her memory just have faded away? She only died in 1991 yet her passing went almost unnoticed in Australia. Eileen Joyce was born in a tent in the mining town of Zeehan, Tasmania in 1912. Her family were poor as her father struggled to find labouring work. They moved to Western Australia when Eileen was only 2. She began piano lessons at the local convent and ...

My feet are delicate, you know! Here is my lazy girls guide to surviving the long, cold winter. 1. Slippers. Slippers are a must-have. They should be warm to wear and warm to look at.

If you are the kind of person for whom no shopping trip is complete without a new lippy / face powder or eye shadow you could not have failed to notice the complexity of claims being made by your average colour cosmetic. No longer does your face powder just even your skin tone, ...
Winter-Proofing Your Skin
Brrrrr! Hibernation sounds like a pretty good idea since many of us have recently been thrust at the mercy of winter’s cruel winds and chilling rain. Taking a “mud bath” is no longer just a form of luxurious pampering but is instead a common hazard as you slip and slide, running for your daily bus to work. Once you’ve figured out how to stave off hypothermia (mulled wine can solve just about everything) and prevent tiny icicles from forming off the tip off your nose, you may want to take a look at your seasonal skincare routine. Perhaps your skin ...
