While I was in Los Angeles recently, I was having lunch with a couple of girlfriends when one of them told a story that had us sitting on the edge of our seats, incredulous and enthralled. It was a love story. A story of great passion and romance that many dream of but few experience. A story of two people …

I’ve been blessed in my life. I learned at an early age that the real secret to beauty comes from how you treat others. If you are willing to be kind and generous with your heart, to share a smile, and to appreciate other people’s beliefs you will become a special person. Your gratitude will show in your bones, in …

In the wise words of my beloved grandmother (who lived to the ripe old age of 98), “Everything in moderation….including moderation”. It’s a mantra that has sat comfortably with me most of my life. I like to be light on my feet and have found a dairy-free, vegetarian diet a clean and beneficial path to follow, but it’s oh-so much easier …

My grandmother whose name was None Such Can Be Beat was a beautiful woman and the older she got the more beautiful she became. When we went out together, she smiled and greeted everyone she passed. One day I asked her why she said hello to everybody. She told me that she spoke to everyone to give them some of …

The essence of my life is living with appreciation and enjoying every moment. Having family and friends close by to share my life with.

I inherited good genes from my family (we’re all thin and tall). We were all abstemious in the war and didn’t eat a lot which I think is quite a good thing. We were very disciplined with food and even now I’m very careful. No food is ever wasted. I eat sensibly and I eat a lot, but little and …
Gillian Julius (jewellery designer)
If only I’d known then what I know now…I would have put away the baby oil, folded the silver reflector, stayed out of the sun and stashed the chocolates , but as we all know hindsight is 20/20 vision! As an International jewelry designer I find myself constantly on the move , on and off planes, and in situations which …

Beauty to me is when your soul shines through your being. It’s your true essence radiating like the sun, making those who are near you feel warm and good. When we are connected to our authentic self, people sense it, and it connects them to something inside them that feels real. Everyone has the Divine in them. It’s like a …
