Bobbi Kristina gets engaged to her brother, Alana begs … and a brie tartlet recipe

OK, HouseGoesHollywood is officially on its own from Monday. No more daily updates on HouseGoesHome. Well, maybe one at the end of The Mag I Bought This Week.

Reliving the horror – The Night I Dyed

A year ago, I dyed my hair. In my bathroom. With a $17 box of DIY crap from the supermarket. I looked like this (above). I wasn't entirely happy with it. Husband said I looked like Brunhilda. He didn't mean it as a compliment. So I started paying $140 to have my hair dyed by... Continue Reading →

She sighed and said it was so beautiful, she just couldn't resist. I gave a heavy sigh of my own and said: "I want... Continue Reading →

Who was your first love?

I'm talking "will you go with me?" love, not the unrequited or poster-on-the-wall kind ... It's funny how little I remember about my first love. You'd think the details would be permanently etched in my mind. I was sixteen when we met, we dated for six years, we even moved in together. Shouldn't more have... Continue Reading →

The Mag of The Week Award goes to …

Crawling out of bed and heading to the newsagent at 6.30am this morning was a struggle with the reality of daylight savings kicking in. Especially knowing how tough WHO's 20th anniversary edition would be to beat. So how did the other weeklies stack up? Click over to Village Voices for my verdict ... http://blogs.kidspot.com.au/villagevoices/magland-5/ And... Continue Reading →
