..................Q My wife becomes a total
freak in hotel rooms. I love
it, but why isn’t she like that
at home? DAThree reasons. Firstly, different
rules apply. Eating two dozen
sticky ribs, sipping on a miniature
Kahlua in bed and road-testing
the complementary Ylang-Ylang
hair mask are expected, if not
encouraged. Secondly, 24/7 room
service means you don’t have to
clean up the aftermath. Read:
you can mess about without the
subsequent drudgery. Lastly,
getting your kink on 24/7 is tiring.
Few people have the energy
to untie a Slippery Eight Loop
from bedposts Monday through
to Friday, but when you’re on
vaycay? What the hey!Q When my girlfriend is
fuming, should I try to cheer
her up or leave her be? JBIt’s a similar dilemma to when the
Messina line lingers around the
corner, or when an automated call
centre assures that you’re next
in the queue: should you stay or
should you go? In this scenario,
JB, time helps. As does space.
Combine the two, but be wary
of your execution. Hitting up a
mate for a game of FIFA because
you’ve been handed some free
time may fuel her frustrated fire.
Let your lady know you’re giving
her a breather, but be ready to
talk when she is.A faceful of zits c.Percentage of

Raking the leaves isn’t the only yard work to be done.
Your backyard checklist for autumnSplit
Dig up your perennial
flowers and divide the
root balls, says Chris
L ambton, host of DIY
Network’s Yard
Crashers. Transplant
them where you want.
Voila, a larger garden
at no cost.Punch
Aerating your lawn
loosens the roots so
they drink more and
grow stronger. You can
rent a gas-powered
aerator (split the cost
with a neighbour), or go
with a manual spike for
a challenging workout.
(You’ve been warned!)Plant
It may sound
counterintuitive, but
autumn is the time to
plant most shrubs,
bulbs and perennials,
Lambton says. The
weather is cool, it rains
more often and the sun
isn’t out as much so it’s
less likely to scorch the
tender young ’uns.Cut
As autumn progresses,
gradually lower the
height of your mower
blades. The last cut in
May should be the
shortest, says
Lambton. Longer
grass becomes matted
over winter, making it
more susceptible to
unsightly moulds.Body Acne Solved!
DON’T LET ZITS RUIN YOUR BUFF BODY. BE SMART (AND SMOOTH)
WASH UP After exercise, take a
lukewarm shower with a gentle
cleanser, advises dermatologist
Fil Kabigting.
APPLY THIS Kill bacteria and
unclog pores with a benzoyl
peroxide or salicylic acid
treatment. Ask your chemist to
pick one out.WEAR THAT Loose-fitting
clothes made from natural fibres
let perspiration evaporate for
healthier skin.
CHANGE THOSE Put on fresh
bedsheets once a week to
prevent oil, grime and bacteria
build-up from pressing on your
skin for hours.
