male property investors than female in this country and my aim is to try to remedy that imbalance to improve the financial positions of women.”

Lacheta-Pell said while it was heartening to see younger women – and especially those aged between 30 and 40 – determined to secure their financial futures independently, many don’t take the next vital step to make it a reality.

“Many of the women I have previously spoken with had the finan-

cial ability to become property investors, but often would not proceed for a variety of reasons. That’s a situation I want to change,” she said.

Lacheta-Pell said even though more women understood the long-term financial potential of becoming a property investor than in years gone by, they usually still had to overcome more hurdles than men.

“Saving a deposit and servicing a mortgage while potentially earning lower wages to simply having the confidence to invest in property are some of the unique hurdles that females still have to overcome,” she said.

“Many divorced or separated women, aged from their early 40s to mid-50s, are often in the position to invest, but sometimes they falsely believe that cash is queen when they would be much better off financially over the long-term investing in property.”

13 REASONS WHY YOU

Nepean Aquatic Centre was conceived by Alan and Karen Bentley 13 years ago after recognising the need for a first class aquatic facility in Penrith. Since 2011 we have taught thousands of local children to swim, a skill that is not just recreational but life-saving! Whether you’re a child or an adult, mastering the art of swimming offers numerous benefits that extend far beyond the water’s edge. Here are 13 compelling reasons why learning to swim should be on everyone’s to-do list:

Water safety: Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in Australia, especially in the 0-5 age group. Learning to swim significantly reduces the risk of drowning, equipping individuals with the skills needed to navigate water safely.

Confidence boost: Mastering swimming strokes and techniques instils confidence in individuals, both in the water and in daily life.

Physical fitness: Swimming is an excellent full-body workout that improves cardiovascular health, builds muscle strength, and enhances flexibility, all while being low-impact on the joints.

Stress relief: Being in the water has a calming effect on the mind, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Social opportunities: Swimming opens doors to social activities such as water sports, swim clubs, and group fitness classes, providing opportunities to meet new people and make friends.

Life-long skill: Once learned, swimming is a skill that can be enjoyed throughout one’s lifetime, from childhood into old age. Safety around water: Knowing how to swim enables individuals to enjoy water-based activities such as boating, snorkelling, and kayaking safely.

Improved coordination and balance: Swimming requires coordination between various muscle groups and helps improve balance and spatial awareness.

Burns calories: Swimming is an

efficient calorie-burning exercise that aids in weight management and contributes to a healthy lifestyle.

Therapeutic benefits: Water therapy, including swimming, is used to rehabilitate injuries, alleviate chronic pain, and improve overall well-being.

Rescue skills: Learning to swim not only protects oneself but also enables individuals to potentially save others in water-related emergencies.

Boosts mental health: Swimming releases endorphins, the body’s natural mood elevators, which can help combat depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

Summer enjoyment: Being proficient in all aquatic environments ensures enjoyment during our hot summer months, whether at the beach, pool, or water park. So, whether you’re dipping your toes into the water for the first time or refining your technique, come say happy birthday at Nepean Aquatic Centre soon!

Getting the best deal on your home loan is not always about paying it off quicker or saving on interest. I mean, us brokers probably think it is – but we also accept that’s not always the real world.

26 restaurants you could try in Penrith and across Sydney throughout the course of a year, without increasing your budget as it stands today.

It’s enough to pay for every single streaming service available in Australia plus the premium package of Foxtel. Imagine you got all of that ‘for free’?

Let me paint you this picture: A client makes contact with us, and tells us they want to get a better deal on their home loan.

A check into their current home loan, interest rate and structure showed that despite what they thought was a pretty good deal, I could get them an interest rate a full percentage point better than they were currently on.

So let’s say, for instance, I took that client from a rate of 6.75 per cent to 5.75 per cent, on a $500,000 mortgage.

What do you think that looks like?

Well, the answer is $325 per month.

Imagine what you could do with $325 extra per month? It’s a nice dinner out once a fortnight. That’s

In two months you could buy a PS5 with the savings. You get the

picture by now, surely. Insert yourself in it!

Sometimes people ignore changing home loan providers or seeking a better deal because they just think the default answer with the savings will be to pay more off the loan, or maintain your current budget but build a buffer in the loan.

And yes, that is the ideal financial solution – but everyone is different.

If you’re struggling to make ends meet right now, or if you just want a bit more freedom in your budget, the answer could actually be right in front of you.

Contact Bell Partners today – I’m sure we can help.

CHIROPRACTOR’S GUIDE TO SCIATICA DIAGNOSIS

Sciatica – a term often thrown around, but do people truly understand what it entails?

As a chiropractor, I frequently encounter individuals who believe they are grappling with sciatica. However, distinguishing true sciatica from other forms of pain is crucial in providing effective care.

Sciatica stems from the irritation of the sciatic nerve, originating in the low back and extending down the buttock, back of the thigh, and into the calf and feet. Despite its prevalence, sciatica is frequently misdiagnosed, with individuals attributing any pain in the back of the leg to this condition.

Typical sciatica symptoms include a sharp or electric pain, sometimes accompanied by numbness, pins and needles, or muscle weakness in the path of the nerve. It’s important to note that a mere dull ache may not necessarily indicate sciatica; often, this type of pain is associated with referral from muscles or joints in the low back.

How can a chiropractor play a role in managing sciatica?

The first step is distinguishing whether your symptoms align with true sciatica, a process initiated through a comprehensive history-taking session. This allows us to gain insight into the nature of your pain and poten-

tial contributing factors. A thorough physical examination further refines the diagnosis and guides the approach to management. A common cause of sciatica is a disc bulge, where the disc between spinal segments compresses the sciatic nerve. As a chiropractor, I work to identify the root cause of your symptoms, whether it be a disc bulge or another issue. Once determined, a tailored treatment plan is devised to alleviate pain and

address the underlying problem.

In essence, a chiropractor’s role in managing sciatica extends beyond mere symptom relief; it involves a meticulous assessment to pinpoint the source of the issue and a personalised approach to enhance overall wellbeing. If you suspect you are dealing with sciatica or similar symptoms, seeking the expertise of a chiropractor can provide valuable insights and targeted care.

IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy

Pearce

With so many lip products, how do you find what’s perfect for you?

If you’ve noticed more lip products coming onto the market than ever, you’re not alone. Though much of this has to do with changing trends around just what products people are using on their lips, from glosses to oils and stains, there may be another reason for the oversaturation – and it all comes down to ‘girl math’.

During the 2001 recession, Leonard Lauder, the chairman of cosmetics firm Estée Lauder, coined the term ‘lipstick index’. Despite the gloomy economic state in the aftermath of 9/11, lipstick sales in the US had risen by 11 per cent, leading Lauder to conclude that lipstick sales were a good way to gauge the state of the economy – the thought process for consumers being that though that ‘Euro Summer’ holiday or fancy dinner might be out of reach,

what’s the harm in splurging on a new lip gloss?

In the years that followed, this has proven itself to be true, being replicated in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic, and again currently, as Sephora rides the lipstick index wave to a whopping €20 billion in annual global sales in the coming years.

Whilst the lipstick index doesn’t apply just to lipstick, and rather to any small luxury people can purchase to get a boost while times are tough, it is one of the easiest to ‘girl math’ –a term not necessarily specific to gender, but referring to the mental gymnastics that can sometimes be done to justify a purchase. In my opinion, it’s really just rational economic decision making – why spend $20 on shipping, when you can just buy another $20 item to get it to the free threshold?

In saying all of this, if you are in the market for a new lip product, there has never been a better time to do so, with endless options available right at your fingertips. And, what would an installment of ‘In The Mirror’ be without a few recommendations?

Laneige Lip Products

When it comes to products that are guaranteed to look good, whilst also ensuring your lips stay hydrated throughout the day, you can’t go past Laneige.

I regularly use their Lip Sleeping Mask at night, and carry the Glowy Balm version with me in

my handbag – I use the shade ‘Gummy Bear’ and can attest to the fact that it’s not as scary as it looks. However, I recently picked up the Lip Treatment Balm and I am obsessed. It has a pretty, pearlescent finish, piña colada scent, and a handy applicator that fits right into the lid for convenience.

Fenty Beauty Pro Kiss’R

Luscious Lip Balm

The Fenty Beauty Pro Kiss’R Luscious Lip Balm has recently become one of my favourites for every day. It has just the right amount of colour payoff for me, without looking like a full coverage lipstick, and maintains a glossy finish.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

Summer Fridays’ Lip Butter Balms are trendy for a reason. They smell delicious, look beautiful on the lips, and come in plenty of shades to ensure there’s something for everyone.

I use the shade ‘Vanilla Beige’ and find that it works really well for day-to-day wear, but I do find that this one tends to run out the quickest, so just be wary of this when choosing what to spend your money on!

It has been calculated that, in just seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce as many as 420,000 kittens. This is a major problem and highlights the importance

of desexing male and female cats at an early age to reduce the number of unwanted animals in our community. In addition to preventing unwanted litters, desexing may result in a posi-

tive behavioural change in your cat. Desexing may also minimise the chance of your cat developing reproductive organ-related health issues that threaten your cat’s life.

A desexed cat (male or female) is less likely to:

• Wander or run away. Desexed cats generally have a reduced inclination to roam, which means they are less likely to roam off your property and reduces the risk of traffic accidents. It also increases the likelihood that your desexed cat will adapt better to a live indoors.

• Become involved in fights over territory or mating partners. This reduces the likelihood of injuries such as abscesses and infected wounds, which may be fatal.

• Contract Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Also known as Feline AIDS, this can be contracted through fighting with other infected cats.

• Develop tumours such as uterine, ovarian and mammary (breast) cancer in females and possibly testicular cancer in males.

• Display anti-social behaviour towards people or other animals. This makes pet ownership less enjoyable and disrupts the human-pet bond.

• Spray or mark its territory, which is usually the house.

A cat can have an average of four to six kittens per litter.

Each kitten must be fed, wormed, and treated for fleas. It is also a legal requirement that each

kitten be vaccinated and microchipped before they are sold or given away. These costs can add up, making desexing a much easier and less expensive option.

The appropriate age for desexing can vary depending on the breed and size of your cat.

Generally, it is best done before puberty (approximately six months of age) although the operation can be done at a later age.

Local Council regulations require cats to be desexed by four months of age unless a letter of exemption is supplied by the treating veterinarian.

If you would like more information about desexing, microchipping or registration of your male or female cat, phone Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital on 4736 2027.

AQUARIUS

Money matters should start to improve, as Venus moves through your finance zone (until April 5). The Sun and Pluto send a confidence boost your way (especially involving a personal project or social media) and a local community connection could prove fortuitous. So be on the look-out for a lucky opportunity when it appears. It’s time to turn an abstract dream into a rock-solid reality! If you hesitate or procrastinate, then you’ll miss the boat.

TAURUS

APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

The buzz word this week is confidence! Confidence to learn, to dream, to grow. With no less than six planets activating your career and aspirations zones, your motto is from birthday great, actress/ producer Reese Witherspoon, “With the right kind of coaching and determination, you can accomplish anything.” Venus (your boss planet) links up with Saturn on Thursday/Friday which means your hard work, patience and persistence will pay off … in the end.

LEO

JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

On Wednesday the Sun (your ruling planet) transits into fellow fire sign Aries, and then links up with powerful Pluto. From mid-week onwards you’ll be at your feisty, fabulous best – and your belligerent, bossy worst! It’s Equinox week, so try to find an outlet for your fiery energy, and a way to bring more balance and harmony into your busy world. Thursday and Friday boost personal magnetism and favour taking an ambitious project a step further.

SCORPIO

OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Sensitive Scorpio – you’re a capricious creature, constantly buffeted by intense emotions and deep desires. This week we celebrate the Equinox (when day and night are of equal length) which will help to stabilise your temperamental moods and balance your brooding nature. Attached Scorpio – remember there’s a fine line between ardent affection and clingy obsession. Unhappily single? You could find yourself drawn to someone with a powerful personality.

PISCES

On Wednesday it’s the Equinox (when day and night are of equal length), which favours meditation and contemplation, as you aim for more equilibrium and perspective. Pluto is powering through your solitude and spirituality zone, which further highlights peace-of-mind and strong self-esteem. Then mighty Mars moves into Pisces (until April 30), so strive to be more proactive about pursuing your creative and spiritual goals. No procrastination allowed Pisces!

GEMINI

MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

Are you being too subjective and short-sighted about a current issue? It’s the Equinox on Wednesday when day and night are of equal length. So take a step back, adjust your focus, and view things from a much broader and wiser perspective. Balance is the key. Saturn hooks up with Venus in your career zone, so it’s also time to get serious about your professional ambitions. Roll up your sleeves and get to work, as you power through projects and tie up loose ends.

VIRGO

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

You’re impatient about making things happen according to your strict timetable but the planets caution you about taking shortcuts and relying on others. Don’t expect family, friends or colleagues to drop everything and hand you your dream. There is just no substitute for hard work and thorough preparation. It’s also Equinox week so stop overcommitting! Smart Virgos will calm down and recalibrate to a slower, steadier and more sustainable pace.

SAGITTARIUS

NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

Sagittarians can be selfish, self-indulgent souls. This week, with the Sun and Mercury spotlighting your leisure and pleasure zone, you’ll be preoccupied with your immediate entertainment wants and personal pampering needs. However, over the next few years, you’ll gradually shift your focus further afield as Pluto teaches you that family matters, local community connections and social responsibilities are just as important as individual priorities.

HOROSCOPES

ARIES

This week it’s the Equinox on Wednesday and the Sun shifts into Aries and then links up with Pluto. Plus Mars (your ruling planet) moves into Pisces. So the current astrology is all about maintaining your equilibrium, celebrating your individuality, and pursuing your dreams within a climate of transformation and reflection. Draw inspiration from birthday great Reese Witherspoon, “I believe ambition is not a dirty word. It’s just believing in yourself and your abilities.”

CANCER

JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

Have you been avoiding a tricky person or a difficult situation? Crabs tend to side-step problems (or just put your head in the sand). With Mercury and the Sun moving through dynamic Aries (in your work zone), try a more direct approach as you face challenges head on. Aim to communicate your ideas in positive and proactive ways. As birthday belle Reese Witherspoon observes, “Confidence is everything.” Travel and adventure are also on the menu.

LIBRA

S EPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

Is a close relationship stuck in a stultifying rut? This week the Sun and Mercury encourage you to blast away the cobwebs and look at things from a fresh angle. But how well do you really know your nearest and dearest? Powerful Pluto is in your romance, children and friendship zone, plus Venus (your patron planet) links up with Saturn. So it’s time to dig deeper and gain valuable insights into the inner motivations of a lover, friend or family member.

CAPRICORN

DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

Venus and Saturn highlight long-term relationships and local community connections. And the Sun visits your domestic zone, so it’s a good week to support a family member, get stuck into a DIY project or clean and de-clutter your living space. But how will you decide what to keep and what to discard? Draw inspiration from designer and birthday great William Morris, “Have nothing in your house which you know not to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

Like Sudoku, no single number can rows and columns are divided by black . These need to be filled in with numbers that is a set of numbers with no gaps but can be in any order, eg [4,2,3,5]. Clues in black cells remove that number as an option in that row and column, and are not part of any straight. Glance at the solution to see how ‘straights’ are formed.
