02:42in la i did a flip dropped and got a really bad injury i couldn't dance anymore i lost everything i
02:51knew i'd always been a dancer so when that was taken away i kind of lost my identity a little bit
02:58six months in bed after that weight on chronic back pain was awful and i went through a lot
03:07since then i have lost my confidence
03:11what a beautiful bedroom and the wardrobe
03:18now tell me why are we doing this um okay so firstly not much of my stuff fits me okay
03:28right i've lost 18 kilos and um also had a breast reduction oh my god you must feel like a new woman
03:35i do we've got to recreate something new just for this beautiful new body you've got okay part of my
03:42back issues all stemmed from um very very large breasts i've had them since i was a teenager it
03:50started becoming a problem once my back um was injured are you happy with the new girls to show
03:55off like do you want to wear cleavage i love that yep okay good so we can go some lower tops absolutely
04:01perfect because we're going overseas yeah now tell me about that yes whole family are going we've just sold our business
04:08congratulations first family holiday in i don't even remember how long so so we kind of need a bit of a
04:14capsule that you can take all the bits and pieces that you need so that when you're traveling
04:18it's absolutely foolproof and you can just use the pieces time and time again
04:22when you're going out what kind of things do you gravitate towards i love dresses yes i used to
04:27cover as much as possible never anything sort of fitted yeah or with a belt so it's all very
04:34yeah i can see and really wanting the makeover so that i can show my children that it's good to
04:41love yourself and not try and cover up as i did for so many years and then pants um just jeans yes
04:49just jeans and trackies i'm starting to get used to wearing pants it always used to be
04:55just dresses okay i'd like to sort of mix things up a little bit yeah and then as far as shoes goes
05:01sandals sneakers yes and i do love wearing heels yeah oh do you okay good because what we want is for
05:09you to feel really confident and just love your new look and feel so that when you walk out that door

05:25this is the beautiful donna hi donna nice to be
05:29she owns blue illusion kira's traveling she needs a travel capsule
05:34yes she definitely does so we should talk about all the things that you might need
05:37well you haven't really got anything have you so we need to start from scratch
05:40okay so i think we should try everything i think so too
05:43just have fun we'll pull out things play and see what they look like and you either like them or
05:48you won't like them
05:48i'm really loving these for you i think this is such a great color as a base
05:54and then tying it back into the shirt like this
05:56i do love the design isn't it gorgeous yeah that's so pretty a little bag like this and to tie it all in
06:01together oh wow i've never worn this color before haven't you no it's so you love the earrings too
06:11something may be a bit fitted because she's got this new body that's exactly right oh and i just
06:18thought some denim would be fantastic look at you with a waist i know i never would have
06:24worn something so tight fitting before i'm loving this bag too for just a pop of color
06:28and i think for travel scarf it can either be tied on or you can tie it around your neck
06:33you're a new woman yeah how good does she look at everything amazing i know she is like a little
06:39doll yeah we can just dress her in everything it's so exciting
06:42oh that material's gorgeous and isn't the color's gorgeous you can play around a lot with that
06:54use this more of a layering piece as opposed to it just being a cardigan
06:58and then pop a denim jacket over your shoulders and that just changes it up again too
07:02doesn't she look beautiful in those pinks and reds you just glow
07:06stunning you look beautiful i'm just gonna cry
07:10you know what it's so exciting you look amazing aren't they happy to you

09:28don't miss it see you soon
09:34welcome back to healthy wealthy and wise and welcome to our new kitchen playground
09:39back of the fridge fine dining this is where we put those sad neglected bits and bobs from your fridge
09:47and pantry rather than tossing all that stuff we're turning them into something you'll actually
09:51want to eat and helping us prove that tonight is one of australia's most beloved chefs couldn't get
09:58him but we've got his guy i was going to say thanks for the nice intro you sure you got the right guy
10:02can't wait to see what magic you can weave here no better time to talk about how to use up leftovers
10:07because food waste is out of control i know myself and i struggle as a chef trying to use stuff yes
10:12so this is a great leftover dish i think bubble and squeak this is a japanese version it's called
10:16okonomiyaki as you like it which is the okonomiyaki and yakki which means grilled these were leftover
10:22leeks i made risotto during the week everybody's got a couple of slices of bacon that you do the
10:27sniff test should be fine and then what you're going to do with a handful of spinach well we'll
10:30cook this down and it'll fit on a teaspoon great so the of okonomiyaki is batter self-raising flour
10:37eggs you can use water or if you want you can buy dashi powder it's like a stock powder it's got
10:43plenty of umami little fishy oh god it smells like you've got it out of a fish tank you've gone
10:49like that it does but you know when you go for japanese food and you go what's that little note
10:54in the background that's that right do me a favor little grater zucchini i'm just keeping it busy
11:00what do they say about idle hands gary i don't know the devil's work put them in your pockets i'm
11:06going to put enough liquid to make a smooth batter pass me that little bottle with the cabbage and
11:11things in just put anything in it zucchini i've got some spring onion bacon no i was joking
11:23we got our batter do you know what this part of the grater is for your feet
11:29you go like that oh it's not working look look look at that show me that is a ridiculous waste of
11:37paper you know you can do this grate it like that you just tap it i'm going to put that in there and
11:43it might cut the fish tank water this is pickled ginger you can put more or less batter depending on
11:50how vegetable heavy or how kind of there's an option for more then why wouldn't you indeed yes love an
11:58induction cooktop and i'm a converted induction person yes i know keep the sponsors happy i get it i get it
12:03you got to pay the bills so in it goes like a little pancake and you make it a crispy bottom
12:08don't you you want a crispy bottom before you flip it oh god here's one we prepared here here's one i
12:15prepared earlier so long i had three minutes and you talk so much i know so do you look at that did you
12:22see that did you catch it so essentially that's what it is so it takes about two to three minutes each
12:28side yeah golden brown before you flip it over it's stuck a prawn in there would be amazing yeah
12:36that's a prawn yeah because that was the one i made earlier and i had a little leftover prawn who
12:41doesn't me try and just for a moment have a little zen where you do this oh my god do that with the cupid
12:49okay okay settle down breathe oh did i i really like the cutie oh my god you know the okanomi
13:03just the way i like it that's how i like it that's how you like it when we eat it without so hang on
13:07i'm going to put a little bit of this on because yeah i love that i love and i'm going to put a
13:10little bit of this on half of it because i like it you know what you've got to be careful though
13:14there's two varieties of this at the supermarket and one of them is fish food and i bought it by
13:20mistake there's a giveaway it has writing on the side that says fish food all right all right few
13:28spring onions you have that bit oh my god it's so good i'll have this bit and essentially what you're
13:38going to get is a nice savory vegetable pancake with all that kind of lovely gary business on top
13:44you just wait just wait let me and just so you know this is called an okanomiaki dance
13:55don't you feel it no i feel something um pack your bags you're going to heaven that is the most
14:02delicious thing i've eaten in a very long time i'm going to cut this up for this hungry crew but do not
14:07go anywhere and that includes you too gary you and i are going to be having a very nice relaxed chat on
14:13the couch after this nice chat nothing going on totally safe don't be afraid see you soon
14:23this segment is brought to you by bob jane teamarts best tire price guarantee
14:31welcome back to the show well gary proved there is life in those old veggies yet i'm going to get that
14:39written on my gravestone ash were you taking notes vigorously i've got here call gary always call gary
14:48but gary doesn't know i have his phone number so i love it now when it comes to money we've actually
14:54got you covered right here rachel you are kicking off a new segment for us today it's all about money which
14:59is great because i'm terrible with money that's exactly it so on fast money we're going to take the boring
15:06drive financial stuff and make it interesting and practical we're going to give you tips and
15:10tricks to make sure that the money you do have is working as hard for you as it possibly can and i
15:15promise you feel like i'm not going to fall asleep while i do this all right i'm ready to learn let's
15:21go okay let's go now if money's feeling tight right now you are not alone cost of living and interest
15:30rates are sky high so here are a few quick and easy ways you can free up cash flow without dropping
15:34what you're spending at all let's go first of all we want to review your subscriptions you know the
15:40ones streaming services apps vpns are we really using them all there's two places i need you to
15:46check we're going to go into your banking app and look for your regular transactions and secondly we're
15:50going to go into the settings on your phone and search subscriptions because often they're hiding in
15:55there now we want to hold on to the ones that we love and use all the time and we want to get
15:58rid of the ones that we don't secondly we're going to renegotiate your bills starting with the big
16:03costs first the utilities and the insurances electricity gas home car and health insurances
16:09now these bills are responsible for about 10 of the household budget and studies suggest a basic
16:14comparison website can save you about 30 on those costs which really adds up over the year now thirdly
16:20if you're an australian with a mortgage don't be afraid to pick up the phone and call your bank
16:25and ask for an interest rate reduction even a 0.2 or a 0.3 drop can make thousands of dollars of
16:30difference over the year finally we want to think about automating your savings treating it like a
16:36bill and set up that automatic transfer into a secondary bank account ideally something you don't
16:41have access to with a card or that you can tap and go fifty dollars a hundred dollars a week is a great
16:46start but ideally we'd love to aim for 10 or 15 of your income to be saved over time remember it's not
16:52about cutting joy it's about cutting waste and that money you free up that's your power and choice
16:57it's up to you is it a holiday to mykonos or is it an extra buffer in your budget big thanks to rachel
17:04for breaking that down for us who knew that money tips didn't have to come with a migraine but now
17:11everyone's favorite part of the show as long as they're not sitting right there yep we've had
17:18gary megan waiting in the wings and in just a moment he'll be joining me right here on the couch

17:30please welcome our next victim gary megan to the box of death
17:34welcome gary thank you thank you so much you and i have been on plenty of tv sets together it's
17:45always been a joy but i think this one might be the first where i'm trying to kill you i'm trying
17:52to make you squirm at least it's hard to ignore i know i'm trying to ignore i know um there's no
17:57kitchen there's no judging panel there is just a choice between three of australia's least nice
18:07creatures i'm talking about a massive muscle packed snake that's behind you um also a creepy crawly
18:17spider currently living in a terrarium and hopefully it stays there yeah or the third option is whatever is
18:25in the good thing for me about this is you never know you're truly terrified of something until you
18:32come face to face with it that is very true you've said that about me but you turned out okay it's a
18:39good news story all right don't decide yet okay check out your options we're going to give you some time

25:30pack our pantry items this is where it all happens well i can't wait to get into the kitchen i've got
25:36a couple ingredients here we've got potatoes and we've got leeks how's that sound sounds fantastic
25:41oh it's got my name on it so simone tell me your story so i'm a volunteer here with vini's i have
25:51been for the last three years and i can't get the glove on um and i'm also a leader with vini's which
26:02means i organize the roster for our inner city morning rough sleeper service so that's what i do and
26:08so i'm cutting the leak right now i'll get you to peel the potatoes if that's okay with the onions
26:13and garlic i'm just gonna brown them in the in the pot so i hate peeling garlic right now i'm just
26:22chopping off the garlic and throw that into the pot we're just cutting the onions we've just thrown the
26:29onions into the pot uh we're gonna throw the leeks in there lovely i've heard potato and leek soup is your
26:35favorite absolutely i'm sure this will change my mind how many people do you guys serve um in a year
26:44so across victoria last year we served 220 000 people 220 000 people amazing that is insane
26:55i'm going to show you a very lazy trick i don't like boiling the potatoes so i've got this trick is just
27:01really thinly slice it so then it can cook really fast this is almost ready yep so we're gonna top
27:09it up with chicken stock so how long do you cook this for uh not too long until it's all softened
27:15until the potato is softened which is pretty quick because it's so thin okay just gonna add the cream
27:21and look like this soup you don't have to measure anything you can just eyeball it let's hope you
27:25like it you can add a little bit of yum yum okay should we try it here you go

29:41you never know where this show is going to take you after the break dr michael is busting some
29:46eye health myths you've probably scrolled past on your feed stick around
29:57healthy wealthy and wise is brought to you by spec savers
30:01welcome back now ash we've all seen those wild health hacks and miracle cures
30:13that clog up our socials and make us feel bad raw food diets charcoal detoxes crystals full of lunar
30:21energy but how do you actually tell what is helpful and what is just social media nonsense
30:28oh most of it's nonsense if i'm honest uh you can't i you can't trust verified accounts either
30:33now i have trust issues but you'll be happy to know i me believe it or not has taken some initiative
30:39you've done something i've done something i've got dr michael on the line ready to cut the crap
30:44guys this is amazing dr michael is zooming in straight from his honeymoon
30:49and we're about to ruin it with some social media health trends dr mike you are a good sport what is
30:58that oh hey guys hey chrissy how are you yeah look you're joining me from my honeymoon my wife's
31:08probably going to kill me she's giving me 10 minutes to talk to you in between our lunch and
31:11the pilates class dr michael on your honeymoon you're supposed to be doing kissing with that mouth
31:17what's what's with the tape so look people are putting tape over their mouth at night time because
31:20of all the benefits that apparently has we know that breathing through your nose is better for you
31:25but should you be taping your mouth at night to force your body to breathe through your nose
31:29probably not and for a few reasons some people just can't breathe through their nose because they've
31:34got a deviated septum sinus or congestion issues or they might have sleep apnea so if somebody with
31:40those conditions does it they might actually feel much worse and sometimes it can be dangerous because
31:45they might not be able to breathe at all well then they would die so that's that's not really the
31:51desired outcome any other health tips that are at the top of the pile one of the other things that
31:57i've seen all over social media and you guys and everybody at home has probably seen it as well
32:01is lemon water in the morning to detox your system look lemons do have some health benefits they've
32:09got lots of vitamin c but you're going to get vitamin c in your diet if your diet's nice and healthy
32:14anyway so a glass of lemon water in the morning is not going to help you detox your kidneys and your
32:21liver do a good enough job as it is all right what else have you got that can save us from ourselves
32:26there are so many trends out there chrissy that i just do not have the time to go through every
32:31single one of them the ones that have been worrying me the most recently are all about eye health
32:36because they can leave some permanent damage now i'm no optometrist so before i left for my honeymoon i
32:43went to see joe who is hey nice to meet you how you doing joe i need to pick your brains i have been
32:54seeing so many wild trends all over social media with all these eye crazes and i have to run it past
32:59you and see what you think the first one that i saw is putting raw honey in your eyes okay to lighten the
33:06color there's really no evidence behind honey lightening eye color it's not sterile it can
33:13introduce serious eye infections look in my opinion honey belongs in your toast not in your eyes i agree
33:20another thing that i'm seeing joe is people are putting bees and lip moisturizer around their eye
33:24in order to give them some kind of glow is that a good idea oh gosh no the the skin around your eyelid
33:31is incredibly delicate and putting menthol and camphor on there can really irritate the eyelids now i
33:37can't believe i'm actually going to ask you this question because most sensible people already know
33:41the answer but putting bleach directly into your eyes to lighten them what would you say to that joe okay
33:49so even small amounts of those chemicals can cause chemical burns it's incredibly dangerous i think if
33:57your eyes are looking red or irritated just see your optometrist for an eye examination there are
34:03proven treatments bleach is definitely not one of them again joe this was a huge trend it's called
34:09sun gazing and it's when you put your balls in the sun your eyeballs staring at the sun for eye health
34:18that is incredibly dangerous it can lead to something called solar retinopathy which is basically
34:24you've burnt a hole in your retina so just like how you wouldn't stare at a welding torch
34:29do not stare at the sun it can cause permanent damage okay another popular myth is that you
34:36can blow dry your eyelashes you can dry out the tear film you can burn the skin around the eyelids you
34:42can even melt makeup into the eyes like i think it's just a recipe for disaster just don't do it
34:48sounds painful people out there think that there has to be a problem with your eyes before you get
34:53them checked that is the biggestness and there are a lot of conditions like glaucoma or macular
34:59degeneration where in the early stages you don't notice any symptoms at all and by the time you notice
35:05it then it's often too late so it's a really good idea to get your eyes checked regularly and in saying
35:11that i think it's time for me to get mine checked so chrissy when it comes to your health there are no
35:18shortcuts unfortunately we're all the same we watch social media we like a quick fix or the idea of a
35:24quick fix but in reality with our bodies it just doesn't work like that that was very informative
35:28thank you so much dr michael no you're absolutely welcome chrissy and ash i i love chatting to you
35:34this morning and it's time for me to go and do my first pilates class which i'm absolutely terrified
35:39of it could be really painful so thanks for talking see you later thank you so much for joining us

39:46but i'm not you're too good for washing are you no i'm just saying i don't need someone else's used ring
39:53uh no pun intended uh to sell it do you watch the videos like i do well into the night i've cleared
40:00more drains than you've had hot dinners um i know i've seen every single one and so yeah it's i don't
40:08watch other people doing it i get a bit of a thrill out of when they're pulling long tails of tree root
40:14out of drones you know that can be 20 30 40 meters long yeah it's like a snake yes a never-ending snake
40:22it's a root snake wouldn't it be weird if i was in my bed watching your videos and you were in your bed
40:29watching mine i hadn't thought of that it's like freaky saturday funny that isn't it how i hadn't
40:36thought of that um when should we call you and not do the diy stuff probably when you got a gurgle
40:45so what does that sound like what's the sound that we're waiting for what's the gurgle well we probably
40:49could get the audience to send in their impressions of a gurgle and that'd be interesting now blop blop blop
40:55blop blop blop blop blop so it's okay when it goes but when it starts to go blop blop blop
41:03well i haven't really ever heard a drain go shh haven't you well maybe it it's got an it on the
41:10end maybe no not really um what can we do to avoid having to call you even though it's good for your
41:18business well we don't want to go to jobs um that we're not helping people we don't need to practice
41:25because we do it all day every day so we we give as much advice over the phone as we possibly can
41:31yes uh we get a lot of calls for foul smells in um houses yeah and that's mostly because a teenage
41:38boys live there i know yeah yeah they contribute to the problem i mean basically teenage boys either
41:44smell like cheesy feet or watermelon vapes yeah there's no mid-ground and vapes are something
41:51that we're pulling out of uh school drains more and more often because mr cuspert's coming
41:59exactly uh they don't want to get caught with it so they flush it so how many have you found in one
42:05school toilet we pulled out about 14 out of one drain um once one stops it's pretty they accumulate
42:13over time and then the drain gets blocked of course with whatever behind it paper or poo and yeah
