Julie McBeth
Are you in your late twenties and feel like your life is in chaos? Is your relationship breaking down or are you questioning your career? Well, it’s very likely this is due to Saturn Return. Saturn takes roughly 28 or 29 years to once again enter the astrological sign it occupied at the time of your birth. This strange point in one's life happens around the ages of 28-30, 57-59, and 86-88. When it occurs at 28-29, it is a turning point in life. Saturn Return expert and astrologer, Julie McBeth, joins us to tell us more.

Ten News Update
Professor David Kennedy
They say a healthy body is a healthy mind but how true is that? Sure eating well and exercise help keep us in shape but what can we do to make sure the ‘old grey matter’ is in tip top shape. With some pearls of wisdom we welcome international brain and nutrition expert, Professor David Kennedy.
Aleisha McCormack
Dresses made from paper? It is true. Back in the crazy days of the 60s, advancement was key in all things. So when the Scott Paper Company gave out coupons with their toilet paper to be redeemed for a paper dress, they were a bit surprised when they received half a million coupons. The concept took hold and the paper dress moved into a fashion fad that utilised as an advertising tool for presidency campaigns and rock stars alike. An exhibition featuring 32 historical and contemporary paper dresses is currently being held at Chadstone, the Fashion Capital in Melbourne, and roving reporter Aleisha McCormack popped down there to find out more.
Paper Dress Exhibition at Chadstone until June 5th.
