My sister was recently scammed through one of those 'ANZ Bank' callers who claimed her account had been compromised. She lost about $4k. She is a smart woman, and very good with money, so I was quite surprised. What she did say though, which Cowles also said a number of times during the interview, was that she voiced her suspicion to the caller(s), about whether the call was legit a number of times. To me, that should be enough to cease the call and make a phone call to check the legitimacy. If your gut is telling you it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.  

I really liked the blue suit at Monet's Gardens, tbh. Gorgeous. But everything else has been a bit 'meh' for me otherwise. I hope Part II steps it up!

Look, I'm as far as you can get from being a fashion expert, but it's pretty much common sense to not spend so much money on any shoe, but especially one that will only enjoy this season's place in the sun. I just bought a mesh red shoe and got it from Kmart. For $12. I guarantee I'll probably only wear them this season, but for that price, who cares? 

1. I think it's rude when the host invites you to dinner, but doesn't disclose they are inviting others. My husband and I had a friendship with another couple who would do this to us ALL the time. We'd turn up, thinking it was just a dinner for the 4 of us, and two other couples would be there. Sometimes people we'd never met. I need to get in to a different mindset for that - and it also might influence my oufit choice!

2. As a host, I will ask beforehand if our guests have any allergies/dietary requirements. That does NOT mean if I ask you if you eat lamb that you should then tell me you only eat certain cuts of lamb (ie backstrap - the expensive cut). Seriously. 

My take is that Anisha didn't make it because she a) had an injury; b) she's in her 30s; and c) she has a demanding day job. The fact of the matter is that the older you get, the more prone to injury you are, and the longer it takes to recover. They were on a limited time constraint to be ready for the first game (they mentioned a few times having less time than usual), and it would have been absolutely questionable as to whether Anisha would be ready in time. Your experience watching it is your experience, but I really don't think this was about race. 

I think if I was single, I would avoid a blended family situation myself. Unless the kids weren’t ‘kids’ anymore. Too hard! 

That is just awful what happened, and I'm so sorry you went through that. I'm glad you made the decision to leave the marriage. Sadly, I'm sure there are many women who would not, and suffer accordingly. Wishing you and your children a wonderful future. I hope that with more time things will be brighter for you. xox

I would say, at your age, I don't think you'd get much benefit from a treatment like this, because you don't have the kind of issues going on with skin sagging, wrinkles etc, like someone in their 50s would (eg. me). For your concerns at your age, I think skin needling would be perfect. I did some skin needling a few years ago, and really noticed a difference with my skin's appearance, especially the redness I naturally have. I wish I'd kept it up tbh.

I've been considering this treatment for a while now as I have quite noticeable crows feet and my skin is sagging around my mouth and jawline. I'm not anti Botox, but I just don't feel comfortable with the idea of injections. I think the price is what's putting me off, and yet I wouldn't want to go with someone who is cheap either. I think I'll go have a consultation about it and go from there. You look great before and after!

This is probably the single, most dumbest thing I've heard that people can do. I can't believe people are stupid enough to get this done. Who in their right mind would risk their eyesight for vanity reasons? Blown away. 

Andrea 100% got 'the ick' when Richard talked so explicitly about their sex life. Honestly, I would have too. Ew. 

The problem with lying is that you can't possibly keep track of lies. Telling the truth comes easy, because it's the truth, so it can be remembered. Facts are facts. Anyone who lies will eventually be caught out, because it's hard to keep that info consistent and remember what was 'supposed to' have happened.     

3. My first BF (age 18), a guy I dated for a few months at age 22, then my husband who I met not long after the second guy. I’m now in my 50s. I don’t regret anything, and don’t feel I’ve missed out. Each to their own! 

@gu3st Agree. I despise all the radio show type stuff that puts people (celebs and non celebs) in uncomfortable situations, so can understand Elordi's frustration, but it doesn't condone what Elordi allegedly did. Would I press charges? Probably not. Just being out in the news I think is enough to hopefully teach him a lesson on how to handle such situations.  

I had a conversation about this with my 19yo yesterday. We both admitted her instant fame is fascinating, but also uncomfortable in a lot of ways and kind of weird. It's most certainly not a black & white situation though considering her upbringing. I haven't read anything else about her really, so I don't know how the murder came about. My husband asked the question last night: Why didn't she just report her mum to the police rather than have her murdered? I'm guessing that will be answered for me through the doco. 

I had no idea the show was even on! Haha... 

I went on one date with a guy in the early 90s, and we kissed at the end of the night, and he thought we were instantly a couple. He called me from a family holiday the following week and was all like, 'I really miss you, and can't wait to see you ...' and it was WAY too much for me. I called things off. He insisted we remain friends, and I was fine with that, but then we were hanging out as friends one night and he tried to kiss me again, then got upset when I stopped him.

Then he sent me flowers 'anonymously' for Valentine's Day a couple of weeks later, and called me up and seemed to be hopeful that would somehow change my mind? It didn't. He never pursued me after that, but I did see him at a party a few months later with a new GF. I was very nice and friendly to him, greeted his GF etc, but oh man ... the daggers he shot me every time I glanced his way or walked past him! 

Dodged a bullet there. Intense guys like that are scary.  

I ordered a matching casual tracksuit during Sydney's 2021 lockdown in July that year from a company in Melbourne. I kept waiting for my order to arrive, and I had to keep following them up. The company took aaages to reply each time (if at all), and even tried to change the order on me at one point in order to fill it (I said no to the other option because it wasn't what I wanted).

Because of Covid, I was more patient about it, but I was still annoyed it didn't arrive until November. WAY past the time to wear a fleecy tracksuit! I love the tracksuit, but I'd never order from them again, because no one should have to wait 4 months for an order to be filled.

@meccafan Had she not gone to great lengths to become famous with one reality show after another, I might have found her more believable and have empathy for her. Her intention was always to gain attention and money. They may well have had an affair, but I question her motivation. Still, why people feel the need to get nasty, I’ll never understand.  

In 2021, showing support for getting the Covid vaccine etc on Instagram, some anti-vaxxers started leaving comments etc, so I changed my settings to limit who could comment on my posts. I've kept that setting in place ever since, because I like that random strangers can't comment, and it stops spam comments. Maybe that's something you could do too? It's a layer of protection I like to have.  

@ican'tthinkofone OR, they’ve worked really hard to get themselves in to a position of having money to spend, through study, work, etc. 

For some cheaper options for casual sneakers, try Cotton On. I’ve picked up some great shoes from there that give me the look I’m going for, but without paying a small fortune.
