Australian Women's Weekly NZ

In Brief

Around The World

‘Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway!’ • Her career has hit a winning formula but the Sky Sport star admits success comes with a heartbreaking trade-off. Here she opens up about ambition, marriage, motherhood and learning to silence the critics.

The Trials Of A Prodigal Prince • As the Sussexes settle back into life in the UK, The Weekly’s royal correspondent, Paola Totaro, investigates what the future might hold for Harry and Meghan. Can the Royal Family or the British public forgive their perceived sins and welcome them home?

Dame Judi Dench At 91 • In an exclusive extract from her new memoir written with friend Brendan O’Hea, Dame Judi Dench reveals the highs and lows of ageing, along with what brings her joy.

Anthony LaPaglia • In a searingly honest memoir, Anthony LaPaglia traces his unlikely path from the suburbs of Adelaide, where he dreamt of being a soccer player, to leading man status in the US.

Wrap It Up For Christmas • Stylish presents for a chic wish list!

Beauty News

Patch up • Refresh, de-puff and even reduce the appearance of fine lines with beauty patches. While no product offers the results of advanced treatments, these sticky wonders can boost hydration, soothe and refresh skin.

Wellness For The Ages • From what we eat to how we move, the ancient wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine offers a different way to think about staying well.
