YOUNG BLOOD
There is very little in life that I am completely sure of, except maybe that Bollinger is the nectar of the gods, yellow makes me look ill, my daughter is an old soul and knows much more than I do, and every woman over the age of 30 should indulge in the pleasures of a younger man.
... needless to say, my young lover's boundless... erm... enthusiasm for the act was astonishing, not to mention his stamina. Almost inevitably, curiosity and intrigue led to addiction, and a two-night stand led, indeed, to a relationship. (More) |

GO BIG OR GO BUST

eTAIL THERAPY
There's no doubt that when it does work it's incredibly convenient - the reason most cited for buying online. Like whizzing through the virtual aisles in the Woolies Food Hall and having your order delivered to your kitchen the next morning ...
Standing in a shop recently, throwing an ineffectual tantrum because they were out of stock of my favourite Chanel lipstick, my older friend turned to me and, with a look of disgust, labelled me a "microwave child". In other words, I want it and I want it now. (More) |

CREATINE A STIR
Let's face it, if there is a record set, there is a record to be broken. It's basic human nature. But while skill, training, perseverance, determination, luck and pure desire are integral parts of the winning process, so are other, less inherent, elements.
Love it or hate it, the fact is that creatine supplements have turned into a highly lucrative business, with athletes spending between R100 and R600 per month. With that kind of revenue you can be sure that the hype will continue unabated for a long time yet - or until some ugly side effects make bigger headlines than the records currently being broken.

CASHING IN
In recognising that quality of life is better than a temporary title on an office door, many people are choosing to fly the corporate nest (or not re-enter it) and are setting up instead as independent consultants. Advances in technology have made it easier for the individual to create an office at home. From the corporation's perspective the skills which this burgeoning sector is able to offer without the cost and red tape of a permanent labour force make outsourcing an extremely viable option to them.

A BITTER PILL?
