It’s all very well putting your heroine on a pedestal, but sometimes their humanity makes them even more lovable, writes an infatuated Harriet Minter.

The Joy Of A Girl Crush

The first girl crush I had was when I was seven and had just changed schools. She was 11, the captain of the netball team (oh, the cliché!) and blessed with messy blonde curls. I remember looking at her with wide-eyed devotion, wondering if I’d ever be as tall as her. Being older and significantly cooler than me, we didn’t have much to do with each other, but I would feel my heart give a little skip when I saw her at break or when, as a prefect, she ushered us into morning assembly.

Healthy mind, HEALTHY BODY?

It had been a long week. Multiple meetings, a work event that meant being out of the house for 16 hours straight, lots of deadlines to meet in-between. I was looking forward to a fun weekend when, wouldn't you know it, I started sneezing, then the dreaded tickly throat started. How ironic, the minute I could finally start to enjoy myself, I got ill.

ARE YOU DEALING WITH A SILENT saboteur?

The story of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who died after eating a baguette containing sesame seeds, has always horrified me. Fully aware of her allergy, she was stringent about checking labels. But the sesame seeds were baked into the dough, and they weren't listed as an ingredient. After taking just a few fateful bites, there was little she could do.
