Sophie
McNeill
ABC Foreign
Correspondent

The Middle East is the


part of the world that
needs our voice – it’s
horrific what’s going on.
Everywhere you look there’s a story. I
lived in the Middle East from 2006 to
2009 in Beirut and Jerusalem. I came
home, had two boys with my husband
then we moved to Jerusalem in May.
I have to remind people that you
only see the worst stuff on the news and
the other half of Jerusalem is living a
pretty normal life. This is a divided city.
You have one half that’s Israel and the
other is Palestine. Where I live [feels like
it] could be in Europe, we have such a
high standard of living. The other day I
went 20 minutes from my house and got
tear gassed in a protest at a checkpoint.
I drove home and my kids had just been
playing in the park all day and there was
no sign of what was happening on the
other side of the wall.
What’s sad now about the Middle
East compared to 2006 is that so many
parts are no-go zones. The whole of Syria
is; the top of Iraq, too. The hardest part
[of my job] is trying to tell these stories
when the situation has deteriorated to
a point that you can’t go there.

DRY BODY BRUSH: It’s the oldest trick

skin and body guru Nichola Joss.

MASSAGE: Really work body lotion


or oil into your skin to boost your
circulation. “Massage towards the
heart to increase blood flow and
allow toxins to be drained and
expelled easier,” says Joss.

DETOX: Spread a thick layer of a


detoxifying face mask over thighs
to draw out toxins – no green juice
required. Try Sanctuary Spa 5 Minute
Thermal Detox Mask, $19.95.

HOW TO BE THE *HAIR-RAISING-
GIRL* EMOJI WHEN IT’S ABOUT
A GAZILLION DEGREES OUTSIDE.

PREP: It’s so simple, but brush your


hair. (Use a wide-toothed comb if
you’ve got curls.) We’re all guilty
of skipping this step, but it helps
with tangles later in the day. Chuck
on a hat to protect your hair and
keep your colour vibrant. A wide-
brimmed one that shields your
face gets extra brownie points.

PLAY: If you’re taking a dip, wet


your hair under a shower (or with
some bottled water) first. It will
absorb less chlorine and salt that
way – both can wreak havoc on
your hair. Take a mini conditioner
with you and apply it after your
swim. It acts like a barrier against
frizz and UV damage. Sweet!

PM: Rinse your hair really well and


use a strengthening shampoo and
nourishing mask, brushing out any
knots while the mask is on. Your
hair is weakest when it’s wet so
you should only ever brush it out
when you’ve got conditioner or a
mask on.

Plants increase humidity levels and decrease dust,
which reduces your chances of getting a cold by
up to 30 per cent. Caring for plants can also help
with mental health, giving you a sense of purpose
and making you less stressed. They’ve even been
shown to decrease recovery time in surgery patients.
