Notes
from the editor
We
are officially two days away from Christmas! And if you’re
not in the Christmas mood yet, we hope that this week’s
WomanWise will at least get you closer to the spirit of
the season...
Giselle
Laronde West... beauty beyond the skin
Giselle
Laronde West is one of T&T’s icons of beauty. So
much so that I donned my best duds and smeared on some bright
make-up to go ask her how her Christmas season was shaping
up...
Christmas
shopping for the man in your life
Everyone
woman has at least one man in her life. It could be her
father, brother, son, husband, boyfriend, nephew, handyman
— the list goes on...
Cherished
Christmas memory
Christmas is such a special time of year for creating lasting
memories. The air is almost magical and for the entire holiday
season, warmth and love seem to transcend all else —
especially for families...
Going beyond abstinence message
Not a word that takes up a lot of room in our free-sex,
free-love world. Many believe that if you were to give a
teenager the choice between abstaining from sex until marriage,
or safe sex (using a condom or some other method of birth
control), the teenager would choose to have sex...
Elegant
stationery... a hand-written note goes a long way
Dining
rooms may have become endangered species in our homes —
along with butler’s pantries and libraries — but
entertaining needn’t depend on formality any longer
...
The
meaning of the Christmas concert
I went to a dance recital the other night and I had the
time of my life! The dance school has a class for three-
to five-year-olds and they were onstage several times throughout
the night...
5 simple ways to manage Christmas
Oh
well, that time of year is upon us once more. If you don’t
believe me, listen to the radio stations for your daily
dose of Christmas music. Take a walk downtown and through
the shopping malls and you will be convinced...
Threats
of suicide may be more than bad jokes
My
son and I have bad arguments about schoolwork, smoking and
coming in late. Every week, we have to pull him up about
something. His little brother heard him say that he will
kill himself...
Bringing
the colours of Christmas into your make-up
Seasons greetings to all our readers. This year has been
so eventful in the world of beauty as it’s becoming
easier for women to find products that are not only suitable
for their individual skin types...
Kathleen’s
hideaway
NESTLED
in a quiet cul de sac in the heart of Port-of-Spain, a stone’s
throw away from tall buildings, and bustling traffic, is
an oasis of tranquillity and beauty. This is the home and
garden of Kathleen, a retired businesswoman and happy gardener...
Polycystic
ovary syndrome... every woman’s nightmare
The thought of not being able to conceive children makes
most women — and, let’s face it, most men —
freeze in their tracks...
