beauty Have you ever imagined what it's like being thisclose to vaginas  all day – no, not like that sadly – you know, for work? The life of a Brazilian waxer is never dull; in fact, sometimes it's downright disgusting. Let's just say I've had more than a few projectiles fly at my face during my 9-to-5.

travel In fact, staff are so conscious of not wanting to upset those on-board, that some airlines reportedly use a code word when referring to deceased passenger.

health Last February, I went for a routine mammogram that changed my world – and then my body beyond all recognition. What followed was a whirlwind of 12 biopsies, a breast cancer diagnosis , consultations, surgeons and an overwhelming mountain of information. I was diagnosed with Stage 2B breast cancer, which had already spread to my lymph nodes. A six-month course of chemotherapy — 16 cycles — was to begin as soon as Gold Coast Hospital (which is amazing) could book me in. I shaved my head before I started chemo because, in the intense dust-storm that my diagnosis kicked up, it felt like one way I could take back a tiny little speck of control.

beauty Ask anyone who has switched hairstylists before and they'll agree that breaking up with your hairdresser is legitimately the HARDEST thing to do, ever. It is! It really is.  It's awkward. Uncomfy. Feels like you're cheating.  Because the fact is, when you've built a solid relationship and loyalty to someone over a long period of time, it can be super  difficult to know how to tell them when things aren't really... working. So, what are the ground rules, here? What should you do when you want to break up with your hairstylist? And what should you absolutely not  do? Watch: Hairdresser talk, translated.
