COLOUR ME HAPPY Style embraces bright colours for fashion over summer
I
t’s finally summer — yay! This means that stores will be full of beautiful, floaty, boho clothes and you can revel in your gorgeous gypsy, Woodstock-inspired self, or sprinkle yourself in palm tree print — whatever your heart desires. However, at Style, we have one thing in mind this summer, and it’s colour — whether bold or subtle. We’re talking hair, sunglasses, nails, clothing, shoes — wherever you can get your hands on it, add a little brightness to your outfit. If the sun is shining and you’re out enjoying the beautiful Australian summer we’re renowned for, why not do so in an outfit that reflects our climate. The fun part of summer is that there are so many patterns and prints available in the fashion world, so take to the shopping centres, markets, op-shops, and even material stores and come up with something fresh to start the New Year. Don’t be afraid to add some more colour in your jewellery as well and embrace this fun and bright time of year.

SURVIVING THE SILLY SEASON I
KEEP CHRISTMAS FOOD FOR CHRISTMAS AND NOT FOR THE WHOLE OF SUMMER
This means all the extra chocolates, nuts, ice cream and mince pies shouldn’t come out until Christmas day and should go away straight after. You’ll enjoy them more if you wait!
ALWAYS CHOOSE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Commit to enjoying one or two of your favourite, good quality things rather than a little of everything. Don’t waste calories on poor quality party snacks, chocolates and lollies.
Show17Ball
Always eat a snack before you go to reduce the temptation to try and fill up on high calorie, poor nutrient foods.
SET SOME LIMITS
For example, use the five canape rule — five canapes equates to a meal’s worth of calories, so make sure you are counting. An alcohol limit is also a must — it may be just on weekends or for very special Christmas parties, but create your own rule and stick to it.
PLAN SOME EXTRA EXERCISE AROUND SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
If time permits you should be doing extra exercise to compensate for the extra calories. Commit to an extra walk or even plan a social function based around a sport rather than a meal time. Most of all, enjoy yourself and the time you spend with friends and family.

t may seem a little early, but the reality is that many of us will kick off the festive season very soon. This time of year is notorious for social functions, catch-ups with relatives and a little too much self-indulgence — it’s easy to gain an unwanted kilogram or two. Here are some tips to help you keep your weight under control and enjoy the holiday season.

How have you changed as a person over the last three years? One highlight is my growth as a leader. I feel I have grown considerably from when I first took on this role. Our organisation has certainly seen growth and of this I am extremely proud. The awards myself and the company have received in the past 12 months have been a magnificent affirmation for the team. It’s been a challenging but wonderful three years. Which women in your life have mentored/ inspired you? My grandmother was a teacher, business owner and loved politics. She was a strong woman with a great business mind and strong values. I’ve always looked up to my mother also who is resilient woman who has always been there for our family. She is a woman of great compassion, sensitivity and beneficial advice. There have also been some incredible women in our industry. Do women have a responsibility to help other women coming up through the ranks? Yes, it is important to mentor and offer a hand up. But I believe it’s not just women we need to help out. Gender diversity is the responsibility of both genders. It’s not until the value of all roles, including the stay-at-home work, is given its true value will we ever see true equity and diversity. What three qualities do you need to make it in the business world? Passion, tenacity and drive. How do you maintain work/life balance? This is a tough one. I really don’t subscribe to work/life balance. I have always thought, if you love what you do, then work is another part of your life. Someone asked me just recently, ‘do There also you ever switch off from work?’ One of our core needs to be an values is ‘it’s personal’. Being fourth generation of acceptance this remarkable legacy is that we aren’t really important to me. My work is such a part of me, superwomen that my work/life balance is one. and can’t do it Tell us about your all, perfectly, home, ‘chill out’ and unwinding time. all of the Home is my sanctuary — a place I relax, sometimes time. with a glass of wine or bubbles with Nivard, while he cooks dinner. We both love to spend time with our family and friends so we love it when the house is full of love, joy and laughter! We try to entertain as much as we can, whether it be a relaxed barbecue under our beautiful trees, or a dinner party or a picnic in the backyard with our nieces and nephews. Is there still stigma about being a ‘career woman’? No, but I do believe there needs to be more acceptance of the decisions made by both men and women when it comes to who stays at home and who joins the workforce. And until the honest value is placed on the work done in the home, then that acceptance will not transpire. We aren’t superwomen and can’t do it all, perfectly, all of the time. We need to be kinder to ourselves.
THAT MELISSA TAYLOR TENACITY ‘ Downs Women In Business Awards winner Melissa Taylor of Taylor’s Removals
What keeps you going through the hard times? I really do have a great network around me. I am blessed to be supported by my wonderful partner Nivard and beautiful family and friends. My retired parents, who own the business, are an enormous encouragement and assistance. And we are also fortunate to have a great team at work who are very supportive. I have also truly valued the role mentors have played in my career. Their guidance and direction have certainly assisted through some of those harder times. What advice can you give for starting your own business? I would say, believe in yourself and back yourself. Ensure you have a great network around you, and plan well. One thing I have learnt, is I don’t and never will know everything, so I have learnt to surround myself with people who have the knowledge and skill base that I need to succeed. What have you learnt about yourself on this journey? To believe in myself and trust my instinct more. www.dalbyherald.com.au

IT’S IN THE STARS Sagittarius
Pisces
Gemini
Virgo
NOV 23-DEC 21
FEB 20-MAR 20
MAY 22-JUNE 22
AUG 24-SEPT 24
Sagittarius does not like predictable gifts — they are up for adventure, willing to try anything once. Skydiving or deep sea scuba diving, they love to explore new areas. Sagittarians also have a softer side too.
Pisces are dreamers so any gift connected with their soul will be most welcome. They are often seen browsing the latest releases. They also have a fond love of gardening so buy them something they can nurture.
Gemini’s can be difficult to buy for unless you know them well. They love nothing more than to curl up with a spine tingling mystery or get swept up with the latest movies. A gift certificate for the movies will rate highly.
Mother of the Earth, they love precious items that remind them of solid foundations, so think of precious gems, plants and interior gardens. They are also explorers so perhaps a special passport for that trip of a lifetime.
Capricorn
Aries
Cancer
Libra
DEC 22-JAN 20
MAR 21-APR 20
JUNE 23-JULY 23
SEPT 24-OCT 23
Think practicality: if it is not of any viable use then Capricorn will think of the gift as a waste of time. They appreciate thoughtful gifts such as electronic gadgets they can link up to their computers or iPhones.
Aries people love to be surprised. Whether it is that all important proposal or for an exciting spending spree, there is no better way to win your way into their heart than with money or any way they can spoil themselves.
Cancerians love the presentation sometimes more than the gift itself. If you spend up big make sure the packaging is full of surprises. They are also family-loving so perhaps a nice photo of someone.
When buying for the Libran in your life think lots of little gifts as they love to open presents and show off to the world. Music plays a big part in their life so the latest releases or an old favourite will always be appreciated.
Aquarius
Taurus
Leo
Scorpio
JAN 21-FEB 19
APR 21-MAY 21
JULY 24-AUG 23
OCT 24-NOV 22
Aquarians love to laugh: they enjoy prank gifts or something that indulges their wicked sense of humour. Good card games or board games, as long as there is an element of fun, will go down a treat.
Taurus is a sensual beast; they love to be pampered so gift giving is easy for Taurus. Their first great love is luxury, so spend a little extra on their gift and they will love you for it. Food hampers or a bottle of red will win their hearts.
Leo the lion loves to play. They enjoy whimsical gifts for the garden, zany artwork or perhaps a book on photos so they can look through the lens. However, they do love to stockpile perfume, jewellery or books.
Scorpio loves to receive gifts with hidden meanings. They love solving puzzle gifts: sometimes a treasure hunt with little gifts with clues along the way will get their heart racing. You will win them if you give with love.

SUMMER LOVIN W
e are truly spoilt here in Australia, both in swimwear and beaches, but these Aussie trailblazers have earnt an honourable mention. Zimmerman: This Sydney label is the brainchild of sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann and has set the bar in Australian design. Known for their swimwear, resort wear and ready-to-wear collections, with a signature of delicate prints, strong silhouettes and an effortless yet sophisticated look, Zimmermann has won a loyal legion of fans.
Style salutes four iconic Australian labels
Gorman: Fun, bright and peppered with great prints, this is the perfect clothing and swimwear label to embrace for summer. Lisa Gorman began in Australia’s creative hub, Melbourne, in 1999 with a small boutique. The philosophy of Gorman is also great, with a focus on ethical fashion and the recent addition of Gorman Organic. Think vintage-tribal with a modern kick.
Spell & The Gypsy Collective: This gorgeous clothing and swimwear label (with photo shoots to die for) started in Byron Bay by sister duo Isabella (whose childhood nickname was Spell) and Elizabeth. With swathes of prints, lace, tassels and embroidery, this label will steal the roving gypsy heart you didn’t know you had. Jets: Stylish, sophisticated and sexy, this swimwear label prides itself on creating gorgeous silhouettes. Sydney creator Jessika Allen uses stretch fabrics to complement the natural curves of the female form. The styles, patterns and prints of this label offer truly glamorous, classic and modern options.
POOLSIDE PREPPED IN AUSSIE DESIGNS 1) Oleander Lattice Flutter one-piece, in bronze shiny lycra. Zimmerman, $395 2) Flamingo Blossom bandeau in pink. Spell Designs, $79 3) Spliced Swimsuit Luxe bandeau one-piece. Jets, $139 4) Le Grande placement printed one-piece. Gorman, $189

TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS MULLED WINE INGREDIENTS
10 cloves 2 cinnamon sticks 1 ⁄4 cup caster sugar 1 nutmeg, roughly grated 2 cups water 1 orange, rind roughly grated 1 apple, roughly chopping with skin on 750ml fruity red wine, such as merlot
METHOD
1. In a large saucepan, heat cloves, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, water, orange rind and apple over medium heat. 2. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. 3. Add red wine and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Strain and pour into serving glasses. Serve immediately.
THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS HAM What’s Christmas without a juicy and flavoursome Australian ham on the table?
Glazing your ham
Prepare your favourite glaze recipe. Visit www.pork.com.au for some ideas. Remove rind and use a sharp knife to score ham in a diamond pattern, then place ham scored side up in a large www.dalbyherald.com.au
baking pan and brush over glaze. Put in a pre-heated oven or hooded BBQ at 180°C for 20 minutes per kilogram, basting occasionally, until ham is brown and warmed through.
Cutting a leg of ham
1. Place ham skin side up, then run a small, sharp knife under the rind around
the bottom (opposite end to hock) and each side of the ham to about halfway up. Peel the rind back. 2. Run the tip of the knife around the bone on the underside of the ham. Begin to slice on a slight angle down to the bone. 3. Run your knife lengthways along the bone to remove slices. Continue to slice towards the hock. 4. Continue slicing down to the bone, working your way around the ham. When you’ve reached about a third of the way up, you can remove the bone by making a few short cuts at the joint.
Storing your ham
To keep your ham fresh, fold rind back over exposed surface. Prepare a ham bag, cotton pillowcase or tea towel by soaking it in four cups of water and two tablespoons of vinegar and then wringing it out. Place the ham in the bag or pillowcase or cover it with the tea towel and store in coolest part of fridge. Re-soak the cloth in solution every few days or when it dries out and enjoy your delicious ham. December 2016
