THE SIMPLE SOLUTION TO REPAIRING A HOLE
With the summer holidays now over, it’s a great time to tackle home improvement projects. Interestingly, it’s often the small but impactful repairs that can make a big difference in the look and presentation of our home.
From patching small holes left by picture hooks to filling cracks in the plasterboard, minor fixes are the first step for day-to-day cosmetic repairs or when sprucing up a home for sale.
Designed with same-day project completion in mind, Gyprock’s new One Patch is the newest addition to its extensive DIY range and is perfect for general plasterboard repairs around the home without the expertise of a handyman.
One Patch is a smooth, lightweight, pre-mixed multi-purpose filler suitable for minor repairs in walls and ceilings
terboard, fibre cement, masonry, concrete or timber are used. Making DIY projects effortless, One Patch is fast drying, non-cracking, exhibits minimal shrinkage and requires only one application to complete the job and transform your space.

Smart preparation before painting means ensuring that any cracks and holes are patched. With a little DIY inspiration and easy-to-use products such as One Patch, completing simple tasks such as repairing unsightly holes
Easy Four Step Application for Everyday Repairs
1. Ensure the surface to be filled is clean, dry and free of loose material, dust, dirt or other contaminants. Lightly sand surface if necessary. Apply One Patch onto the hole/crack using the spatula provided. Spread and smooth off. Overfilling is not required.
2. Lightly sand once dried prior to painting. One Patch requires little to no sanding for a smooth finish.

WHY YOU SHOULD ADD OMEGA-3S INTO YOUR DIET
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of healthy fat that offer many benefits for your heart and overall health. These fats are called “essential” because your body cannot make them on its own, so you must get them from the food you eat.
How Omega-3s help heart health
One of the biggest benefits of omega-3s is their ability to improve heart health. They do this in a range of ways:
• Reduce inflammation: Inflammation can cause heart disease, but omega-3s help reduce it.
• Lower blood pressure: can help lower high blood pressure, which is good for heart health.
Omega-3s help prevent dangerous blood clots that could cause a heart attack or stroke.
• Improve blood vessel function: They support blood vessels, and therefore support your heart.
Omega-3s and cholesterol
Did you know that omega-3 fatty acids are greatly beneficial with improving blood cholesterol levels? There are two types of
cholesterol in your body: LDL (low-density lipoprotein), often called “bad cholesterol”, and HDL (high-density lipoprotein), known as “good cholesterol”.
Omega-3s can help by:
• Lowering ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol: Omega-3s reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood, which can build up in arteries and increase risk of heart disease.
• Increasing ‘healthy’ HDL cholesterol: Omega-3s can
raise the levels of good cholesterol, which helps remove bad cholesterol from the blood and protect your arteries.
• Improving triglycerides: Omega-3s also lower triglyceride levels, another type of fat in the blood that, when high, can increase the risk of heart disease.
What foods are rich in Omega-3s?
Omega-3s are mainly found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, but they are also present in plant-based sources such as flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds.
• Reduce blood clotting:

SUPER AND THE STOCK MARKET
RESTORING YOUR SMILE MONEY MATTERS
Most Superannuation funds have a high exposure to both Australian and International shares. So, when we have a stock market crash, which is inevitable, it is in our Superannuation that we feel the impact.
For those that are five or more years away from retirement, counter-intuitively a stock market crash can be a good thing.
I know this seems absurd, that seeing the value of your Superannuation falling is in fact a good thing, but it can be, hear me out.
The reason that the value of your superannuation has fallen is that the value of the underlying shares has decreased. If we are more than five years away from retirement, we have no intention of selling our shares, therefore the current value of those shares is mostly irrelevant to us. In the same way that if the property market drops, and the value of our house falls, it only impacts us if we
intend to sell.
Furthermore, the nature of Superannuation is that we are constantly adding to our investment through our mandated contributions. Our regular contributions are buying more shares. When the stock market crashes, we get the opportunity to buy cheap shares. Effectively our Super contribution buys about 10-15 per cent more of the same shares it did last month.
The analogy I used during the GFC related to a farmer buying cows. If the farmer goes to the market to buy some cows and they are 10 per cent cheaper than they were last week, does he think to himself about how his herd at home isn’t worth as much as it was last week? Does he think about selling his cows? Of course not, he thinks, you beauty, cheap cows!
For those in accumulation phase it makes sense to think like the farmer. The stock market crash has devalued an asset that you
not only have no intent on selling, you in fact plan on buying more.
For those approaching retirement, or are in income phase, a stock market crash has a greater impact. When the market crashes we want to limit the number of shares we need to sell. The key to this is having sufficient liquid assets to fund the income required that limits the need to sell down growth assets. There are a number of different strategies that can be employed to reduce the need to sell down assets, especially if potentially it is the wrong time. It is something to definitely speak to a financial planner about.
Amissing tooth can affect more than just your ability to chew, it can impact your confidence and the overall harmony of your smile.
Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a range of aesthetic solutions designed to seamlessly restore both function and your appearance.
Dental Implants: The Gold Standard
For those seeking a natural looking and long-lasting solution, dental implants are an excellent choice.
A titanium post is placed in the jawbone to act as a replacement root, supporting a custom-designed crown that matches the surrounding teeth in shape, size, and colour. This option not only restores aesthetics but also helps preserve bone structure.
A nifty idea!
Dental Bridges: A Seamless Alternative
A bridge is an effective way to replace a missing tooth by anchoring an artificial tooth between two healthy teeth or implants.
Bridges are carefully crafted to blend in with the natural dentition, ensuring a flawless smile while restoring function.
Dentures: A TimeTested Choice
For patients missing several or all of their teeth, dentures remain a cost-effective option.
Modern designs offer better comfort and stability, with implant-supported dentures providing extra security and preventing bone loss.
Each option offers unique benefits, and the right choice depends on the individual’s needs.
For an individualised treatment plan to replace your missing teeth and restore your chewing function and natural smile contact the friendly team at Sydney Smile Doctor today. Next week we will delve deeper with dental implants and their uses.
THE PROS AND CONS OF PET INSURANCE
Pet insurance is one of the most frequently discussed topics among pet owners, with many unsure whether it is a worthwhile investment. With numerous policies available, each offering different levels of cover, the decision can feel overwhelming. The bottom line is that pet insurance is a good idea, but, as with many financial products, it’s essential to read the fine print and understand what you’re paying for.
The benefits of pet insurance
One of the greatest advantages of pet insurance is the peace of mind it provides. Veterinary care can be expensive, especially in emergencies or for chronic conditions requiring ongoing treatment. Having a pet insurance policy can help alleviate the financial stress associated with unexpected medical bills, ensuring that pet owners can make healthcare decisions based on their pet’s needs rather than their budget.
Many pet insurance policies also offer coverage for preventative care, including vaccinations, flea and tick prevention, and dental work. This proactive approach helps maintain a pet’s overall health and can prevent costly medical issues down the line.
The downside of pet insurance
However, pet insurance does have some downsides. Monthly
premiums can add up, particularly for those with multiple pets. Additionally, not all policies cover the same conditions, and some have breed-specific exclusions or pre-existing condition clauses, meaning any health issues your pet had before obtaining coverage may not be claimable.
Another important consideration is excess payments (similar to deductibles in human health insurance). Some policies require pet owners to pay a portion of the vet bill before insurance coverage kicks in, and balancing the excess amount with affordable monthly premiums is crucial.
The alternative: A dedicated pet emergency fund
For pet owners who prefer to avoid monthly insurance premiums, setting up a dedicated savings account for pet emergencies is an alternative. By consistently contributing to this fund, owners can maintain financial flexibility and control over their pet’s healthcare expenses.
However, this approach requires discipline and may not provide immediate relief in the case of a significant medical emergency before substantial savings have accumulated.
Making the right choice
The decision to invest in pet insurance or establish a savings fund depends on individual circumstances. Factors such as your pet’s age, breed, and medical history, as well as your financial situation, should all be considered. If choosing pet insurance, thoroughly research policies to understand what is covered, any exclusions, and the limits on claims.
Regardless of your choice, proactive financial planning is key to ensuring that your beloved pet receives the best possible care when they need it most. If you need further information on pet insurance, call Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital at 4736 2027 –we’re happy to help you navigate the options.

AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
This week you’ll communicate your innovative ideas with extra pizazz, dream mind-blowing dreams, talk about progressive philosophies or make connections with bohemian folk from foreign shores. But, with the Full Moon activating your wanderlust zone, many restless Aquarians will feel cooped up, housebound and a bit stir-crazy. So pull on your travelling shoes and escape on a wild weekend getaway or plan an adventurous trip for some time soon.
TAURUS
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
Are you stuck in a Taurean rut? Have you been too stubborn to embrace change? This week’s Full Moon shakes up your daily routine zone, plus Mercury and Venus (your patron planet) both turn direct in your peer group and networking zone. So use it as an opportunity to open your mind, extend your connections and expand your world. The weekend favours get-togethers with family, friends and/or work colleagues as you socialise, enjoy and explore.
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
The Full Moon fires up your tempestuous nature, so you’ll feel amped up and ready to perform! But don’t let overconfidence (and over-exuberance) trip you up. Your head’s full of ambitious dreams and fabulous schemes, but they’ll only work if you can persuade other people to contribute to Team Leo. You’ll find creative collaboration (especially with people within your local community) will take you a lot further than functioning as a solo operator.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
The Full Moon favours meditation, contemplation, relaxation and investigation as you solve a problem or get to the bottom of a perplexing mystery. However, if you stubbornly hang onto the past and resist change, you’re in for an unpredictable relationship ride. You need to be more flexible and adapt to constantly changing circumstances. Heed the wise words of actor and social commentator Will Rogers, “Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.”
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
The Full Moon highlights a close relationship, shared finances or a joint venture. Secrets and issues of loyalty could also be placed under the microscope, as you discover whether your trust in someone has been well placed. And prepare for a welcome burst of Piscean creativity and energy as Mercury and Venus finally move forward in your sign. Lucky opportunities could magically manifest, especially within your local community or via social media.
GEMINI
MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
With Mercury and Venus both moving forward in your career zone, a professional matter or a volunteer project should gradually shift from go slow to all systems go. If it’s too much to handle on your own, then don’t hesitate to ask for assistance from your work colleagues and/or your extended peer group. Don’t battle on alone … other people are happy to pitch in and help. The weekend is wonderful for relaxing, unwinding, drifting and dreaming.
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
Thank goodness Mercury and Venus turn direct in your partnership zone! You’ll find the more diplomatic, caring and compassionate you are, the better your personal and professional relationships will be. The weekend Full Moon stimulates your self-esteem and money zone. So – if you want to do well financially – spending sprees are out, and serious saving is in. It’s also an appropriate time to reflect on your personal values and reassess your priorities.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
Mercury and Venus move forward in your home zone (on Monday and Sunday respectively) so a family squabble or a domestic drama should start to settle down. With the Sun shining in your leisure and pleasure zone, it’s time to plan a party, book a massage, attend a concert, see an exhibition or organise a night at the movies. Plus the Full Moon fires up your hopes and wishes zone, so do all you can to make a special dream come true.
HOROSCOPES
ARIES
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
Mercury and Venus go direct, and the Full Moon lights up your partnership zone, so focus maximum attention on the special loved ones in your life. It’s also time to get the balance right between invigorating independence and cosy togetherness. Your motto for the week is from Aries writer and activist Maya Angelou, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
CANCER
JUNE 22 TO JULY 22
Caring Crabs are the natural nurturers of the zodiac but looking after loved ones won’t be easy this week, as you juggle your busy personal and professional lives. The Full Moon falls in your domestic zone, so it’s a good time to clean and de-clutter your living space, then you can enjoy entertaining family and/or close friends on the weekend. Some lucky Crabs will travel somewhere special – to a much-loved destination with good food and beautiful surroundings.
LIBRA
S EPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
With a Full Moon in your sign, you’re keen to motivate, encourage and inspire others. Plus Mercury and Venus turn direct, so you’ll be able to utilise your well-developed diplomatic skills. Librans are the fashionistas of the zodiac, so it’s up to you to lead the way towards a more sustainable future. Wisdom for the week comes from fashion designer/ innovator (and birthday great) Vivienne Westwood, “Buy less, choose well, make it last.”
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
The Capricorn buzz word for the week is Communication (with a capital ‘C’), as Mercury and Venus move forward in your neighbourhood and conversation zone. Expect increased social interaction and educational activities within your community. When it comes to an ongoing neighbourhood problem, think global and act local. Wisdom for the week is from fashion designer (and birthday great) Vivienne Westwood, “The sexiest people are thinkers.”
SEAFOOD AND STYLE AT
As Easter approaches, and the school holidays with it, the idea of a staycation looms large – and the Hyatt Regency Sydney may just be the perfect base for it.
Nestled in the heart of Darling Harbour, the Hyatt Regency Sydney is perfectly positioned - sitting right on the cusp of all the activities surrounding Darling Harbour itself, and just a stone’s throw from the Sydney CBD with all of its nightlife, bars and attractions.
After a seamless check in process (delayed only by taking in the glorious reception area), we opt to drop our bags in the room and head up to Zephr Sky Bar to kick this little staycation off.
Zephyr’s champagne-coloured décor, inspired by the iconic Moët & Chandon bottle, transforms the rooftop into a breathtaking backdrop for stylish gatherings and celebrations.
There’s an extensive cocktail list, a food menu and live music – providing a relaxing vibe for a couple of drinks before kicking the night off, or to settle in and watch the sun go down over Darling Harbour.
Back in the room, you’ll find all the expected amenities and a large comfortable bed for a quick nap before heading out for the night. If you can score yourself a King Harbour View room, then the view itself will become the highlight of the room – you could sit and
watch the comings and goings of this busy part of Sydney and get yourself lost in time.
For dinner we headed to the hotel’s Sailmaker Restaurant, and while it does have an a la
carte menu, it is its seafood menu – headed up by the Seafarer Dinner that runs Thursday to Sunday – that is the real highlight here. It is a three-course, $95 menu that also gives you access to the Mediterranean Tapas Table, meaning there’s little to no chance of going hungry.
“THE MENU ALSO FEATURES SUGGESTED WINE PAIRINGS FOR EACH DISH”
Entrees include options like the Appellation Rock Oyster with raspberry, rose mignonette and lemon; the Ulladulla Yellowfin Tuna; and the Abrolhos Island Scallops. It is the mains where things really shine here – from the Sea Mullet to the Merimbula Swordfish, there’s a range of options to ensure seafood lovers are well looked after. The menu also features suggested wine pairings for each dish, which adds to the experience of the dining package.
Zephyr bar is the perfect spot for a cocktail and people watching.

HYATT REGENCY
We did add a couple of items from the a la carte menu and couldn’t recommend the Charred Lamb Cutlet from the entree menu highly enough, while the 300gm sirloin steak with fries and green peppercorn sauce was delicious.
Completely full – and maybe even a little tipsy – we headed out to the Sydney CBD, visiting a few popular bars – knowing that the comforts of the hotel room would be waiting upon our return.
Talking of comforts, it’s worth noting the hotel also boasts Nabea Spa. Indulge in rejuvenating treatments tailored to your needs, from soothing massages to luxurious facials. Designed to pamper and restore, it’s the perfect retreat for parents looking to unwind and recharge during the bustling holiday season.
After a comfortable and quiet night’s stay, we headed back to Sailmaker Restaurant the next morning for their buffet breakfast. The options here were endless and in the hit-andmiss world of buffets, it’s safe to say Hyatt Regency Sydney offered one of the better spreads in Sydney.
The executive chef even popped over to our table – and many others – to grab some feedback. It’s hard to see how he’d hear anything but positive reviews.
With plenty of Easter specials around at the moment, Hyatt Regency Sydney is a convenient, comfortable and elegant option for a Sydney staycation – just make sure you come hungry!
