HARD YAKKA HAS YOU READY FOR A DIY SPRING
With DIY home renovations on the rise across Australia, more homeowners are diving into projects that showcase their personal style and boost their property’s value. Shows like ‘The Block’ offer plenty of inspiration, but behind every successful renovation is more than just creativity and skill – it’s having the right gear to get the job done.
This year, ‘The Block’ teams up with Australia’s leading workwear brand, Hard Yakka, to ensure contestants are equipped with the toughest gear for every challenge. Known for rugged durability and iconic designs, Hard Yakka is supplying its latest ranges, including ToughMaxx, Winter Heritage, and X-Range. These styles blend resilience and comfort, built to work as hard as
the Aussies who wear them.
“Whether it’s refreshing a tired kitchen, modernising a bathroom, or revamping the backyard, Hard Yakka gear is built with advanced technology and safety in mind,” said Kathryn Dawson-Lee, Brand and Content Manager at Hard Yakka.
“We put our products through the wringer with tradies to make sure they can handle the demands of real-world renovation work. Every piece is made to be tough, fit for purpose, from the worksite to your weekend.”
Just as ‘The Block’ contestants wouldn’t start a renovation without their trusted tools, homeowners shouldn’t tackle a DIY project without the right workwear. Hard Yakka’s gear isn’t just clothing – it’s your first line of defence on the worksite, keeping
you safe and comfortable so you can focus on getting the job done. From durable jackets and shackets to dependable hoodies, tops, and safety boots, Hard Yakka’s gear has got you covered, head to

can handle the hard yards, their gear is designed to be as reliable and hardworking as you are, offering comfort and protection through every task.
Hard Yakka’s DIY tips for home renovators:
1. Start small and build confidence – Begin with smaller projects like painting or installing fixtures to build skills and confidence before tackling more complex renovations.
2. Research before you start – Understand the tools, materials, and steps involved by watching tutorials, reading guides, and consulting experts to avoid costly mistakes.
3. Budget wisely – Plan your budget carefully, including a contingency for unexpected expenses, and always prioritise quality over cheaper alternatives.
4. Invest in quality tools and workwear – High-quality tools and workwear can make a significant difference in the ease and outcome of your project.
5. Focus on safety – Always prioritise safety by following instructions, using protective gear, and keeping your workspace clean and organised.
6. Know when to call a professional – Recognise your limits and don’t hesitate to call in experts for tasks like electrical work or structural changes.
7. Plan for the future – Choose materials and designs that will stand the test of time, considering how your project will impact your home’s longterm value.

MEL’S MAKING AN IMPACT
Melissa Jerzyna from LJ Hooker Penrith has been recognised for excellence at the prestigious LJ Hooker Group’s Night of the Stars awards event.
This annual celebration highlights outstanding achievements across the LJ Hooker Group’s network, honouring those who have demonstrated exceptional performance and dedication in the real estate industry.
Jerzyna received the award for Top Property Manager in NSW/ACT, a testament to her hard work, commitment, and excellence in delivering superior service and results for customers. This recognition is a significant milestone in her career, showcasing her leadership and impact within the industry.
Chris Keating, LJ Hooker Group’s Head of Network Australia, commended Jerzyna on this remarkable achievement.
“We are incredibly proud of Melissa for her exceptional performance and dedication,” he said.
“This award is a well-deserved recognition of her outstanding contributions to our network and the real estate industry.
“We look forward to seeing Melissa’s continued success and the positive impact she will make in the future.”
RETAIL DELIGHT AT AIRPORT
Aworld-class shopping precinct for Western Sydney International Airport (WSI) is a step closer, with the release of a tender for a duty-free retail partner to set up shop at Sydney’s new 24-hour global gateway.
WSI CEO Simon Hickey said retailers who completed an extensive registration of interest process have now been invited to tender to become WSI’s duty-free retail partner.
“We are well on the way to delivering a top-tier shopping experience for our future passengers, visitors and staff,” Hickey said.
“We’re excited to be building an airport in Sydney’s cultural heartland that can be a destination in its own right and we want to collaborate with retailers that champion customer engagement and provide a distinctive experience that reflects the region in which we’ll be operating.
“While construction of the airport has been forging
ahead, today’s announcement also shows we are building up momentum in important commercial offerings as we move closer to opening our doors from late 2026.”
WSI’s General Manager for Retail Glyn Williams is
leading the planning and design of what will soon become a premier shopping and dining experience for western Sydney.
“The tender announced today is a rare opportunity for a duty-free retailer to join a spectacular new shopping destination that will put
western Sydney on the map,” Williams said.
WSI will have around 7,000 square metres of leasable retail space for customers to enjoy. This includes 40+ retail stores, and more than 2,200 square metres of duty-free space within the international terminal.
WHY I’M A BIG FAN OF THIS ONLINE SHOPPING GIANT
When I needed a few hundred magnifying glasses for a marketing campaign, I found Temu offering them at about 20 per cent off the cost of other online outlets.
Despite my initial scepticism due to the significantly lower price, I decided to give it a try.
To my surprise, the quality of the product I received was exactly as described.
Temu (temu.com) operates similarly to other well-known Chinese e-commerce giants like Shein and AliExpress. It offers a wide range of products at remarkably low prices, from electronics and fashion to home goods and beauty products.
The secret behind Temu’s low prices lies in its business model. By connecting customers directly to suppliers, Temu eliminates many costs associated with traditional retail. Additionally, the platform leverages low factory costs in China and often bypasses tariffs, further reducing expenses. This allows Temu to
offer products at prices that are hard to beat.
Upon completing my order on Temu, I received a confirmation email. Over the two-week delivery period, I was kept informed with a couple of additional updates on expected delivery dates. To my surprise, the items arrived a few
than the proposed date. The overall experience was professional and reliable.
The downside of using Temu comes after the delivery. They have a very aggressive marketing arm. The phone app bombards you with notifications of special offers and discount codes. They can also send you multiple emails a day encouraging you to
purchase additional items. You can easily be convinced to buy something you do not need based on how low the price is. Believe me, I have been tempted to buy some of the items based on price, not whether I need them or not.
Like most online marketplaces, there are things to watch out for.
• Make sure you understand what you’re buying. Detailed descriptions can help you avoid surprises.
• Feedback from other buyers can provide valuable insights into a seller’s reliability.
One critical aspect of any online shopping experience is the return policy. Temu offers a full refund if items are not delivered, not as described or arrive damaged. This policy provides some peace of mind, ensuring that customers are not left out of pocket if something goes wrong.
Except for their aggressive marketing campaigns, the platform was easy to use. I got what I ordered at a significant discount and would use them again.
UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING ACHILLES PAIN The Experts
ESTER ISKANDAR
One Point Health 4732 5188
Achilles tendon pain is a prevalent issue that many individuals, especially athletes, encounter.
As podiatrists, we often see patients suffering from conditions related to the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is vital for movement. Understanding and managing this pain is crucial for maintaining mobility and quality of life.
Causes and symptoms
Achilles-related pain commonly results from conditions like Achilles tendinitis and tendinosis. Tendinitis is usually an acute condition caused by overuse or sudden increases in activity. Tendinosis, on the other hand, is a more chronic condition characterised by degenerative changes in the tendon due to repetitive stress or aging.
Patients often report symptoms such as pain and stiffness in the heel or lower calf, which can worsen with activity or
after prolonged periods of rest. In severe cases, there might be swelling or a palpable lump in the tendon area.
Diagnosis and treatment
A thorough physical examination and detailed patient history are essential for diagnosing Achilles-related pain. In some cases, imaging studies like ultrasound or MRI may be necessary to evaluate the extent of the damage.
Initial treatment typically involves the R.I.C.E method – Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation – to manage inflammation. Over-the-counter pain relievers can also provide temporary relief. Stretching and strengthening exercises, tailored to the Achilles tendon, are vital for recovery and preventing future injuries.
For persistent or severe cases, professional intervention is key. Custom orthotics can alleviate strain on the tendon, while physical therapy can enhance
flexibility and strength. In rare instances, more invasive treatments like corticosteroid injections or surgery might be required.
Preventive measures
Preventing Achilles pain involves gradual increases in physical activity, proper footwear, and incorporating effective warm-up and stretching routines. Paying attention to body mechanics and avoiding excessive strain on the tendon are also essential. By understanding the causes and implementing appropriate management strategies, individuals can effectively address Achilles-related pain and reduce the risk of recurrence. If you’re experiencing persistent pain, consulting a podiatrist here at OnePointHealth can provide you with a personalised treatment plan and support for a quicker recovery.
IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce
Why YouTube and TikTok are the leaders in handy makeup tutorials
Ilike to think I know a decent amount about makeup. But, you have to learn your skills from somewhere, and for me, that was social media.
Over the last decade in particular, social media platforms like YouTube and, more recently, TikTok, have been home to makeup artists and enthusiasts alike, sharing their hacks and skills to young girls like me, who’ve watched on eagerly from home.
Here are my favourite tips that I’ve picked up along the way – and a few that I still use to this day.
Red Blush
One of the more recent techniques I’ve adopted is using a red blush instead of pink or
peach. This started with Rose-Marie Swift, founder of natural beauty brand RMS Beauty, who went on TikTok last year to talk about how rather than using a pink blush in her days as a makeup artist for Victoria’s Secret, she opted for a redder tone. This, she said, more closely replicated the look of a natural flush. Whilst this colour may look intimidating in the pan, when sheered out on the face it can be really beautiful. My favourite is the Mecca Max Off Duty Liquid Blush in the shade ‘Tango’.
Brown Mascara I love a dramatic lash as much as the next person. But, as someone with very light features,
I’ve found that without a full face of makeup on, black mascara can look incredibly overwhelming. As a teen, Shannon from @ shaaanxo put me onto the Benefit Cosmetics
They’re Real! Tinted Eyelash Primer and to this day, probably a decade later, it’s still one of my favourite products. Though it’s intended for use before mascara, I think the product is really pretty on its own to add colour and definition to fair eyelashes. I also like to use it just on my bottom lashes sometimes with a fuller lash on top, to prevent the doll-
like look.
Undereye Powder
I have oily skin, so using powder under my eyes, as well as all over my face, is a no brainer. But, I still used to have issues with mascaras smudging underneath my eyes. Rachel from @ rachhloves once recommended a hack where at the very end of her makeup routine, she puts an additional swipe of setting powder directly below her lower lash line with a small brush to diminish any dampness which could create smudging. Since
then, I’ve done this every day, and haven’t had mascara smudge under my eyes once – I even have a dedicated brush just for this purpose.
Underpainting
Scott Barnes was one of the first celebrity makeup artists whose videos I would watch on YouTube, especially via Tati Westbrook. Though I don’t believe it’s his technique, he’s the first person I ever saw using underpainting in his routines. Underpainting works by applying contour and blush to a bare face, creating a natural and blended look once foundation is applied on top.
This isn’t something I’d do for every day, just because it’s definitely a lengthier process than my current routine, however it’s clearly now trending on TikTok for a reason!

PROTECTING YOUR FURRY FRIENDS FROM NASTY FLEAS
Do you struggle with keeping your pet fleafree? Don’t be alarmed, you’re not the only one. During the warmer months fleas are particularly common. They make our pets’ lives itchy and uncomfortable. The answer to keeping fleas off your pet is simple – prevention.
What are fleas?
Fleas are tiny, dark brown parasitic insects that infest the coat and skin of pets. They can jump up to 150 times their own length, making the transfer of fleas between your pets difficult to prevent. Their remarkable jumping skills also allow them to transit easily from surrounding environments to your pet.
How do I know if my pet has fleas?
One of the first signs of a flea infestation in your pet is itching. On inspection of your pet’s coat, you will likely see one or more fleas moving around on
the surface of your pet’s skin. You may also notice tiny black particles that look like dirt; these could be flea droppings. An adult female flea lays an average of 20 to 30 eggs each day.
How do pets get fleas?
Fleas form cocoons which can remain dormant for astonishingly long periods of time. They inhabit the garden, carpet, and furniture until they are able to hitch a ride on your pet. They jump great distances to find a host and bite both pets and humans.
Why is it important to treat and prevent fleas?
Fleas are the number one cause of skin disease in pets and can cause problems ranging from simple itchiness to weeping sores, scaly skin and infection. Some animals are allergic to flea bites (a condition known as Flea Allergy Dermatitis), where one bite sets off an auto-immune reaction. All skin conditions require veterinary treatment. Fleas breed at
an enormous rate. The fleas you see on your dog represent only 5-10 per cent of the fleas within their environment. The rest of the population is represented in the egg and larval stages found in your carpets, furniture, bedding and garden.
The lifecycle explained
Only 5 per cent of fleas live in the environment as an adult and 95 per cent of fleas live as eggs, larvae, or pupae. For effective flea control, it is essential to break the lifecycle in the environment.
• Adult fleas – jump onto your dog or cat, feed on their blood and then start laying eggs.
• Eggs – one female lays an average of 30 eggs per day, which drop off into carpets and bedding before hatching.
• Larvae – the hatched eggs release larvae which move away from light, deeper into carpets and under furniture before developing into pupae. The larvae feed on organic debris and at this stage can
consume tapeworm eggs, allowing them to become an intermediate host for the development of tapeworms. This lifecycle can take as little as two to three weeks and as long as 12 months. To rid your pet and household from fleas, you must break this cycle.
How do I protect my pet from fleas?
Prevention is the key to flea control. There are many different flea products available to purchase, so choosing the right one for your pet type and age is essential. Preventatives come as ‘spot on’ applications are easy to use and last three to four weeks or oral tablets that work as an effective ‘birth control’ for fleas, interrupting the lifecycle. It is sometimes necessary to treat the pet and the environment.
If your pet is scratching or has skin damage, it is best to have them checked by a vet. Our team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital can help!

AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
You love being independent. But this week’s stars favour nurturing partnerships, establishing joint ventures and stabilising your support network, as the planets stimulate your relationship zones. If you’re single, sparks could fly with someone from another country or culture. But avoid making an impulsive financial move that could lead to over-spending. Getting into more debt is a recipe for trouble – by all means have fun, but don’t break the bank.
TAURUS
Diplomatic Venus (your power planet) and Jupiter increase optimism and help you reform a close relationship that’s been experiencing problems. Setting positive new patterns of behaviour sees the union move to a more enjoyable and satisfying level. This week, nurture loved ones in practical ways. Perhaps you can help with shopping, errands, cooking, housework or homework? Sunday is wonderful for financial matters and socialising with friends.
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
This week the Sun (your ruling planet) is visiting earthy Virgo. So clear, careful, logical communication will help improve relations with other people, as you get your message out loud and clear. Venus and Jupiter also encourage you to reach out and help others, both within your immediate circle of family and friends and within your local neighbourhood. The close community connections you foster now will prove beneficial in the future.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
Powerful Pluto – your boss planet –has moved back into your education, communication and community zone (until November 19). So it’s a good time to revisit any unfinished business involving study, social media, siblings, neighbours, and projects in your local neighbourhood. Courtesy of the terrific Venus/Jupiter trine, it’s also a suitable week to draw up exciting plans, set ambitious goals, and dream big dreams. If you can dream it, you can do it!
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
With the Sun and Mercury in your relationship zone, being creative about solving problems is the key to positive partnerships. Stop procrastinating and instead, start communicating about what you really require. Don’t expect other people to magically read your mind. Be articulate and ask plenty of questions. Mars is moving through your self-expression zone. So it’s time for artistic pursuits like photography, art, dance, singing, writing and music.
GEMINI
It’s one of your luckiest weeks of the year so prepare to pounce. Jupiter (in your sign) and Venus boost confidence and self-esteem as you power through projects with renewed confidence and plenty of chutzpah. You’re also keen to make connections with others, as the planets highlight your family and friendship zones. So it’s a terrific time to initiate ideas and make waves within your circle of influence. Positive collaborations are the secret to future success.
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
On Thursday there’s a lovely Mercury/ Mars link, which boosts individuality, confidence levels and communication skills. With the Sun and Mercury (your patron planet) both moving through your sign, it’s your time to shine! Be inspired by Virgo superstar Freddie Mercury, “Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter; someone will always be younger. But they will never be you.” Lady Luck is on your side on Sunday.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
Sunday’s lucky Venus-Jupiter link encourages you to broaden your horizons – physically, mentally and spiritually. It’s time to expand your circle of influence and make positive connections, within your peer group and further afield. Be more generous with loved ones, more adventurous in your choices, and more ambitious with your dreams. Draw inspiration from birthday great D. H. Lawrence, “I want to live my life so that my nights are not full of regrets.”
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
Peacemaker Venus encourages you to repair a rickety relationship, in a generous and philosophical way. Family celebrations and work functions are favoured, as Mars (in your domestic zone) connects with Mercury (in your job zone). So it’s a terrific time to connect with creative, proactive people and share your dreams for the future with family members and work colleagues. Others are looking for you to come up with the goods so don’t disappoint!
Calling all Crabs – mighty Mars is visiting your sign until November 4. So strive to be bold and brave as you initiate ideas, launch passion projects and zoom ahead in progressive directions. Prosperous Venus and Jupiter help you turn dreams into gold. If you devise a creative plan, then financial luck is waiting in the wings via a new colleague, client or customer, who may be linked to a family member. Some volunteer work also looks rewarding.
Venus (your ruling planet) is visiting your sign until September 23, so your charismatic and diplomatic sides will be shining brightly for all to see. There is also a terrific Venus/Jupiter trine, which blesses personal projects and encourages international travel and interstate adventures. Don’t be a Libran wallflower. Get out there and enjoy yourself to the max! Your motto is from birthday great, writer D. H. Lawrence, “Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.”
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
The Sun and Mercury are moving through fellow earth sign Virgo, so you’ll be extra bold and brainy this week as you dazzle others with your methodical mind, broad general knowledge and close attention to details. So it’s the perfect time to analyse, research and problem-solve in proactive ways. With the power of positive thinking on your side, you can climb any mountain and sail any stormy sea. But proceed cautiously with a colleague or client.
Relax & Unwind TRAVEL
THE APPEAL OF VIETNAM
We are certainly travelling again. We’re spending big and we’re going overseas, despite some expensive airfares. Where are we going? We seem to be travelling closer to home, especially to the South Pacific and Southeast Asia more so than Europe or the Americas.
Japan is the big buzz right now, but we are also returning to favourites like Thailand and increasingly, Vietnam.
I’ve made two trips to Vietnam post-pandemic and I can vouch for the recovering tourism sector of this once pariah communist state. Bygones are certainly bygones and there is no doubt the socialist republic is one of the most resilient countries on the planet.
At around 1.5 million tourism arrivals per month, Vietnam is running at about half the volume of its near-neighbour, Thailand.
Australians still require a visa to enter Vietnam and applications are now fully online. But be careful, there are a couple of tricky bits with the application, so don’t rush it and double check your inputs, especially the port of arrival. Express options are available and at some airports, like Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) you can request a ‘queue jump’ at arrivals for a small fee.
One piece of exciting news sure to provoke a spike in Australian arrivals is the just-announced direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Hanoi (HAN) by aggressive newcomer, VietJet Air. The Low Cost Carrier (LCC) also serves Adelaide and Brisbane via Ho Chi Minh City (SGN). While some inflight services are bare bones, the aircraft (primarily Airbus A330s and A320s) and cabin crew are definitely up to scratch.
National flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines, are lagging somewhat in their promotions currently allowing VietJet Air and others like Jetstar an opportunity to capitalise with their own direct services.
So, once we’re on the ground in Vietnam, where are we going?
In Hanoi, visitors are drawn to the Old Quarter, the oldest part of Hanoi now a vibrant nightlife, dining and shopping location. You might want to pay your respects to Ho Chi Minh where he lies in state in his grand mausoleum or stroll around Thái Cuc Lake, the largest of the capital’s famous lakes. More recently, thanks to social media, the quirky ‘train street’ offers a great photo opportunity but don't go wandering along the tracks unescorted.
Hanoi is also the jumping off point for Halong Bay where visitors throng on day cruises on the UNESCO World Heritage waterway. My strong recommendation is to take one of the fancy overnight cruises there or nearby Lan Ha Bay. It’s worth the extra pennies to avoid the day tripper crush. Stay a
day or two in Halong town, take the cable car and enjoy the sights.
Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is another major city popular with visitors. If you’re a first time visitor, take a day tour like those offered by Intrepid’s Urban Adventures. A city tour should include a street food experience or you can visit any of the several excellent museums. Also on the day tour menu is the Mekong Delta and CuChi Tunnels.
The Mekong River can also be enjoyed on one of the many river cruises that will also take you into (or from) Cambodia. These vessels offer luxurious accommodations, excellent dining and conduct daily shore excursions during a week-long adventure.
For those looking for a more comprehensive exploration, regional centres like Danang and its famous historic neighbour, Hoi An, have proven particularly popular with visitors to Vietnam.
Overall, you can be confident of excellent quality accommodations and reasonable prices from all the big names in global hotel chains. Independent properties also compete favourably with the more recognisable brands, so don’t be afraid to step outside the familiar.
Thanks to the many social media channels and online travel agents (OTRs) there are plenty of platforms to do your research. Be sure to check more than one review site as ratings will vary from site to site.
Of course, using the services of a trusted travel agent is always a good idea, no matter where in the world you are heading.
