Elly Miles and Becky Miles are making Bachelor history, as the first sister duo to be The Bachelorette. Elly has previous experience of the reality TV franchise (having been a contestant on Matt Agnew’s season of The Bachelor), but both women were refreshingly open and positive about their recent experience of getting to dish out those roses. And by sound of things, they’re equally loved-up at the end of it. COVID-shmovid!  This is the first part of a two-part chat with Elly and Becky, and they open up about the reality of doing this together, how the guys reacted to there being not one but TWO women to impress, and why they’ve still never once fought over a love interest…  The 2020 season of The Bachelorette Australia will air on Network TEN on Wednesday the 7th of October at 7.30pm.  You can find Elly on Instagram at @ellymiles and Becky on Instagram @happylittlebeckymite, and follow all The Bachelorette fun at @bacheloretteau.  You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.

Nothing feels like summer like getting walking out the door WITHOUT a jacket. Or wearing sandals. Or heck, both even. But baring skin that has been hidden under winter layers for months has its drawbacks. Which is where a good fake tan comes in. Emphasis on the good. Because there’s a lot of bad fake tan out there.  Today, Ali drills Kelsey on her pro faux-glow getting tips, and learns a LOT about everything she’s been doing wrong.  Each Thursday, Body+Soul digital editor Alison Izzo (who, by her own admission, is no beauty expert) and Body+Soul beauty editor Kelsey Ferencak (who, is a bonafide expert with years of experience speaking to experts) get together to try and crack the everyday beauty problems that plague us all.
