Avoid those unwanted surprises, and rather be in the know. Read your weekly horoscope here.

Everything you need to know for your upcoming week.

ARIES

This weekend’s solstice and Cancer Full Moon will put the focus on communications and relationships. The more nurturing and also outgoing you are, the more you are likely to enjoy a trip. Key news will put the spotlight on a favourite interest or person.

TAURUS

A fresh phase will begin financially. You may be ready to change the parameters of your banking or budget, and for some, this will be in connection with developments regarding the way you share your space at home or your duties.

GEMINI

This weekend’s Full Moon suggests a new chapter in your personal life will begin. You may hear key news from a partner (business or personal), at work or regarding a change of routine or health. Avoid misunderstandings on Tuesday.

CANCER

Ideal circumstances are likely to unfold for you, as you turn a corner in a work and personal context. Collaborations and negotiations are the key to success. A family project will take much of your focus. Avoid mix-ups on Tuesday.

LEO

Developments at home are likely to take much of your focus this week. You’ll enjoy the connection with family, even if logistics seem challenging at first. Keep communications clear for best results. You’ll enjoy bringing more romance into your life.

VIRGO

This time of year can add pressure on you to make everything seem perfect, so avoid unreal expectations. Good communication skills are the key to happiness now. You’ll enjoy adding beauty to your environment but at all costs you must avoid overspending and excess.

LIBRA

A lovely get-together this weekend will boost your self-esteem and happiness. Music, dance, romance and music will be the real triggers. If shopping, avoid overspending. On Tuesday, a complex communication may be trying, so aim to keep things clear. Avoid gambling.

SCORPIO

An enjoyable weekend awaits. Avoid overspending though. Key financial developments could help you decide how to move forward with joint duties. A new chapter is about to begin where a nurturing approach to those you share assets and duties with may suit.

SAGITTARIUS

You’re likely to hear key news or take a memorable trip this weekend. A fresh chapter in a partnership (business or personal) is about to begin. If you will miss someone on Christmas Day, make a plan now already to connect in some way.

CAPRICORN

This weekend’s Full Moon signals a fresh daily routine for you, where you may feel more nurturing of others and, in turn, should feel more supported. A trip or get-together this weekend could be ideal. Avoid excesses on Christmas Day.

AQUARIUS

You’ll appreciate an ego boost this weekend. If you’re working, you may also experience a career or financial boost. For some, this week is more about treating yourself well. A fresh chapter in your family life will begin, where caring for each other is key.

PISCES

A fresh chapter in a domestic, family or property matter is on the cards for you; for some, this week will include the chance to truly rest and self-nurture. Spiritual interests, study or travel could assume a fresh intensity.

Swimming shorts for every man out there

- - No comments
It’s the season to stock up on your swimming clothes; so we have compiled a list of the must-have swimming shorts you need to add to your wardrobe.
Your swim trunks should be cool enough to wear from the beach to the street. When on a scouting mission for new swimwear, keep the following points in mind – making sure you’re up there with the latest trends.

SIDE-STRIPES

This season’s side-stripe detail is still a big trend and has carried over to your swim shorts. This design detail is best seen on mid-thigh to longer lengths that fall just below the knee.

THIGH-HIGH

Over the past decade, shorts have got shorter, going back to how it was done by our dads. Don't be scared to flaunt your legs in shorter-than-short shorts. The desired length of your trusty trunks is largely dependent on your height. Note: the shorter your shorts, the longer your legs appear.

FLAMBOYANT FOLIAGE

Break away from tradition and experiment with loud and fun prints that scream nature. Oversized, leafy prints are great if you’re already a lover of prints; but for those who want to ease into it, embrace monochromatic background colours and subdued patterns.

AZTEC

If you’ve been wanting to add this print to your wardrobe, now’s your chance. Aztec-print shorts are bold and busy; luckily, you won’t have to fret about what top to wear them with, as a simple and plain tee (in pretty much all colours) is the best option.

CLASSIC & COOL

You’ll never go wrong with a clean and classic pair of casual shorts that can easily double as swim shorts. Plus, these go well with the graphic and trendy tees you’re going to wear this summer.

WATCH: Party eye make-up tutorial

- - No comments

We have put together a step-by-step guide on how to nail the party eye, plus a video tutorial for the best tips.
Nothing adds a glam touch to your peepers more than luxe, jewel-toned eye shadow. Watch and learn with these easy steps below and you'll be party ready in no time. 


1. Apply primer to your lids

Start off by prepping your lids with a primer. This gives your eye shadow something to adhere to, ensuring minimal creasing and longer lasting colour.

2. Apply and blend dark cream eye shadow 

A dark cream eye shadow applied and blended on the lid creates the perfect base before adding your pigment, as it will intensify the colour, making it look bolder and brighter.

3. Pat green eye shadow and blend

Using your ring finger, gently tap eye shadow onto your lids as this will help get a more pigmented, even layer of application than if you simply wipe the colour over your eye.

4. Apply copper eye shadow to the crease 

This step adds depth while softening the edges of the make-up, and allows your eyes to look bolder and bigger. When it comes to applying the colour, choose a large blending brush and gently add the colour into the crease.

5. Line your top and bottom waterline with black eyeliner

Also known as tightlining, this trick is important to intensify and define your eyes. Rest the eyeliner pencil between the roots of your lashes and carefully trace it along your upper and bottom waterline.

6. Apply cream eye shadow and copper colour to lower lash line 

The cream eye shadow creates a base on which the pigment can adhere to and helps it last longer.

7. Using a flat eye shadow brush, apply a blue-green pigment to the lower lash line

For an eye-catching look, add a second complementary jewel shade to your lower lash line. The flat eye shadow brush will allow for precision when applying and will help you create a clean, defined line.

8. Apply mascara to the top and bottom eyelashes 

To prevent your top lashes from smudging when you look down, start by first applying mascara to your bottom lashes. When it comes to the top lashes, give them a press with an eyelash curler before you coat them, as this will make your eyes look bigger. Place the wand at the base of your lashes and apply the mascara in a zigzag motion to help lengthen and volumise your lashes.

9. Place highlighter along the brow bone and the inner corner of the eye

A highlighter instantly infuses a bit of life into any make-up look. To give the illusion of larger eyes, simply apply some product under your brown bone (but above your crease). To brighten and make your eyes look more awake, add a pinch of highlighter to the inner corner of your eyes.

10. Complete your look with a nude glossy lip

With such a bold and bright look, keep the rest of your face relatively low-key with a touch of highlighter on your cheekbones and nude gloss on your lips.
