The claws are out: The Bachelor's Snezana Wood defies husband Sam with her very surprising move
Snezana Wood made a surprising admission on Wednesday after visiting a beauty salon in Melbourne. The former Bachelor star displayed her long red nails as she left the shop in Prahran after getting a fresh manicure. The mother-of-four, 44, then admitted her husband Sam Wood hates long nails which inspired her lengthy look. 'No dramatic monologue tonight, just a dusty mirror, LBD and some seriously long red nails,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Why - because I love them! and years ago Sam Wood once said he hated long nails… so I immediately got them longer! Haven't looked back since!' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Earlier in the day, Snezana appeared relaxed as she left the beauty salon after getting a manicure. She was dressed for comfort in an oversized green jumper and black sport tights. Snezana completed her look with a pair of long white socks, sneakers and held a large black bag for the outing. She left her short locks out and covered her famous face with small dark sunglasses. Sam and Snezana are still going strong nine years after meeting and falling in love on The Bachelor. They are reportedly eyeing off a glorious mansion in one of Melbourne's most sought after postcodes. Real estate insiders say the hunky reality star and his wife have already laid out an eye-watering $14million for the sprawling pad. Located in seaside Brighton, 14kms from the CBD, the beautiful vintage multi-level estate boasts six-bedrooms, a pool and expansive gardens.

‘Our Town': The Nearly Unbearable Beauty of Life
NR | 1h 30m | Drama | 1940 Human life is meaningful only when it's relational. Only by treasuring life's moments in togetherness do birth, aging, and death become worthwhile. That's the point of director Sam Wood's film, 'Our Town' (1940), inspired by Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name.

Fitness Guru Sam Wood Reveals the Simple Wellness Hack You Can't Overlook

Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. With June being Men's Health Month, the Man of Many office is currently focused on collectively upping our wellness game. Whether that consists of prioritising gains, jettisoning some extra kilos, or revisiting some long-neglected fitness goals, there's no time like the present to adopt changes—even small ones—that can make a long-term difference. No matter where you're at in your fitness journey, Men's Health Month is the perfect excuse to cement some foundational habits or easy-to-overlook hacks that will keep you on track throughout June and beyond. With half of any wellness program consisting of how you fuel all of those gym sessions, early morning runs, late-night swims, and ice-bath recovery sessions, there's one particular hack we're currently obsessed with that consists of a supreme source of nutrition in a wonderfully convenient form. Perhaps the most perfect of nature's wellness aids, we are, of course, speaking about the humble egg. To get a sense of the power of these superfood gems and the best ways to integrate them into a daily routine, we sat down with Sam Wood, who you probably know as the founder of the hugely popular nutrition and fitness program, 28. Sam swears by the convenience and extraordinary nutrition eggs have to offer—so much so that last year he became the Australian Eggs ambassador—and whether he's recommending them to clients or preparing a batch for his own family, harnessing the goodness inside each of these oval marvels is a cornerstone of Sam's expert approach to wellness. Sam Wood | Image: Australian Eggs A Sam Wood Staple 'I've been eating eggs every day for as long as I can remember,' Sam starts. 'They're a staple in my own diet, in my family's meals, and in nearly every plan we create at 28. Plus, supporting Aussie farmers? That's something I'm proud to get behind.' While everyone has a vague sense that eggs can be part of a healthy diet, when we ask Sam, we're floored by what he reveals. Just two eggs provide 13 essential vitamins and nutrients, including a whopping 12.7 grams of protein, 14 per cent of your daily iron requirements, and 82 and 15 per cent respectively of your recommended daily intake of vitamin D and B12. In simple terms, this means the nutrients in eggs assist with weight management, oxygen's movement through the body, and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. They also aid healthy muscle function, immune system support, the formation of red blood cells and DNA, repairing body tissue, as well as supporting healthy functioning of the nervous system. As Sam points out, eggs certainly have an astounding work ethic: 'They're high in protein, packed with essential vitamins and minerals, and they keep you fuller for longer. That's a superfood in my books, and the best part is, they're easy to whip up.' Boiled Eggs | Image: Australian Eggs Egg-Based Essentials This ease of preparation means eggs are always a smart option, because when the days feel too short to squeeze everything in—particularly during these winter months—any shortcut can be a lifesaver. After all, once you've made time for work, working out, caring for kids, partners, and pets, not to mention all that time commuting every morning and evening, it can be all too easy to slip into bad habits. With this in mind, we'd recommend checking out some of Australian Eggs' fantastic egg-based recipes here. They're as delicious as they are nutritious, and they also challenge the notion that eggs are primarily a breakfast food. Picking up on this, Sam is quick to champion eggs no matter the time of day: 'I'm all about eggs for dinner. Frittatas are a go-to in our house, especially when we're low on groceries. Chuck in whatever's left in the fridge, a bit of spinach, tomato, sweet potato, some cheese, and you've got a quick, healthy dinner. Egg fried rice is another favourite.' No matter the time of day, eggs are also a fast and easy option for keeping the little ones happy while boosting nutrition. Plus, they're the kind of thing even fussy eaters can get on board with. 'My kids actually love them,' Sam reveals. 'Willow and Charlie are big fans of dippy eggs with toast soldiers. But like any parent, I've had to get creative now and then. Omelettes loaded with cheese and veg, or mini egg muffins they can help make, that always does the trick.' Scrambled Eggs | Image: Australian Eggs Only the Facts Despite all of this goodness, Sam explains there's still a surprising level of misinformation around eggs and how to get the most out of them. In fact, he's quite eager to discourage the splitting of the yolk and white when we ask what people might be surprised to learn. 'Many people don't realise that a lot of the nutrients are in the yolk,' he reveals. 'That's where many of the vitamins and good fats live, along with a third of the protein. I should also say that eating eggs regularly doesn't raise bad cholesterol for most people, which is a big myth I still hear.' As Sam goes on to point out, what eggs can actually raise is your sense of mental well-being. Thanks to their 13 essential vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin B2, B12, choline, iron, and tryptophan—all associated with helping reduce the risk of anxiety, symptoms of depression, and naturally aiding sleep—eggs are your mental health buddy. As we part ways, we ask Sam if he has a favourite egg recipe and if there are any top-secret preparation methods he'd be willing to share. 'Tough one!' he laughs.'I reckon my go-to would have to be scrambled eggs with avo on sourdough. The secret? Low and slow on the heat, stir constantly, and add a dash of milk or cream for extra creaminess.' That sounds like a Men's Health Month must-try.

The Bachelor couple Sam and Snezana Wood relist their jaw-dropping Elsternwick home for $6.6 million as they eye up an upgrade to a $14 million sprawling Brighton pad
Sam and Snezana Wood have relisted their lavish Elsternwick home with a massive $6.6 million price guide. The reality star couple, who met on season three of The Bachelor in 2015, initially put the home on the market in November last year but later withdrew it. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion boasts an array of luxury amenities, including a 15-metre pool framed by Ironbark timber decking and a sun-drenched gym and sauna that overlooks the home's stunning green surroundings.

With north-facing living areas that effortlessly spill into the outdoors, the home is perfect for entertaining and hosting.

The kitchen is the centrepiece of the home, with Carrara marble countertops, high-end appliances and a pantry big enough to do cartwheels in. Moving upstairs, a main bedroom offers serene park views from the bed, complete with a marble ensuite bathroom and spacious dressing room. Seeing as though Sam and Snezana share four children together - Evie, 20, Willow, seven, Charlie, five, and Harper, two - it's no surprise that the kids were well- catered for in the state-of-the-art abode. The home's children's wing allows for kids to have their own space while also boasting custom joinery and pocket doors for easy accessibility, while a guest suite with connecting bathroom ensures visitors are afforded privacy and luxury during their stay. Taylor Dow, DOW Real Estate's managing director, describe the home as one that stops its visitors in their tracks. 'You walk in, and it's a series of wow moments, the scale, the finishes, the calm that it carries,' he said. The home features an incredible gym and sauna 'There's a soul to it that's rare.'

Elsternwick: Bachelor couple Sam, Snezana Wood relist $6m+ home
Sam and Snezana Wood's spectacular Elsternwick home has hit the market again, with a $6.6m price guide. The five-bedroom, five-bathroom property is poised for a full listing relaunch in coming weeks. The couple, who rose to fame on The Bachelor in 2015 and have since built a national lifestyle and wellness brand, purchased the home for $3.31m in 2018. What followed was a meticulous, years-long renovation with the help of Castley McCrimmon Architects. From its beautifully restored Victorian facade to a soaring arched hallway, 3.7 metre ceilings and gallery-like interiors, every inch of the home has been crafted for form and function. Expansive, north-facing living areas flow seamlessly outdoors to a 15 metre gas and solar-heated lap pool, framed by Ironbark timber decking, encaustic tiles, and lush mature gardens. There's also an alfresco shower and a fifth toilet — subtle nods to the home's retreat-like lifestyle. DOW Real Estate managing director Taylor Dow said it's the kind of home that stops buyers. 'You walk in, and it's a series of wow moments, the scale, the finishes, the calm that it carries,' Mr Dow said. 'There's a soul to it that's rare.' The kitchen is a showpiece in itself, finished in Carrara marble with a full butler's pantry, and fitted with high-end appliances. A luxe fireplace warms the open-plan living space, while architectural steel-framed doors offer sightlines from lounge to lawn. Upstairs, a sun-drenched gym and sauna overlook the treetops. A children's wing with pocket doors and custom joinery, a guest suite with ensuite, and a park-facing main bedroom with a marble ensuite and dressing room complete the flexible family layout. Originally built in 1900, the home was previously listed under Whitefox but didn't sell. Since then, it's undergone a strategic reset, now offered off-market while a full-scale campaign is readied behind the scenes. 'We're taking a very deliberate approach,' Mr Dow said. 'This isn't a home you rush through. The level of detail demands time, and the buyers we're working with want to appreciate that.' Mr Dow said early interest had already been strong. 'There are a lot of prestige homes on the market, but not many that feel like this,' he said. 'You can tell every decision came from a place of care, and that's what buyers connect with.' Sam Wood remains active in the fitness space after selling his platform '28 by Sam Wood' for $71m in 2022, while Snezana has recently turned her attention to fashion, launching a jewellery collection in collaboration with Shannakian Fine Jewellery. Now, the couple's dream home is ready for its next chapter, and the right buyer. Private inspections are underway. The relaunch is coming soon.
