There’s no greater buzzword right now than “resilience”. Suddenly, it’s everywhere: the subject of countless books, articles, seminars and conferences. But why now? In this ever-changing, always-on world, studies reveal that resilience – our capacity to survive and thrive in the face of disruption – is the most powerful trait you can possess. Which is why we’ve detailed ways to cope with change and adversity in our story “Are You Resilient Enough?” on page 146. But as I flick through the magazine, I realise this topic isn’t confined to our wellness section: the issue is packed with extraordinary examples of true-grit resilience enacted by phenomenal women. Firstly, in “Swimming For Her Life” (page 42), you’ll meet Yusra Mardini who almost drowned in the Mediterranean while fleeing the civil war in…

It all started with a bottle of sav blanc and a Sex and the City box set. My best friend Peta and I were holed up on a midweek binge of the beloved TV rom-com, revelling in the fun and fearless fashion and marvelling at the script’s timeless relatability. But a few episodes in, somewhere between the tinkly opening credits and Samantha’s first sex-capade, I had a revelation that nearly toppled my wine: we were 32, the same age as Carrie when the series debuted. “How did we get here?” I wondered, recalculating my age in disbelief. “Wait a minute,” Peta gasped. “You are Carrie!” The girl had a point: I’m a single woman in the city (albeit Sydney, not New York), I write by day, drink cocktails by night…

FICTION Brushes aren’t strictly necessary. “A brush is necessary for anything intricate, such as the eyebrows and sharp lip lines,” says Morris. “You also need a brush for anything around your eyes.” FICTION Sponges and brushes do the same job. “Sponges sit a lot of product on top of the skin, which can cause caking and creasing,” says Morris. “A brush polishes into the skin and will make foundation almost invisible.” FICTION One brush size fits all. “You need to use the right brushes that fit your face, especially with eye brushes,” says Morris. “This reduces application time, as you only need to use minimal strokes for maximum effect.” FACT Brushes will speed things up. “Having the right brush kit allows for increased accuracy with minimal strokes,” says Morris. “Two…

There’s something about the human psyche that makes us want to curl up under a blanket and eat chocolate when it’s cold. Cavewomen probably did the same thing, except with buffalo fur and mammoth jerky. But the problem is, if you stop exercising during the cooler months, you won’t be able to climb a staircase without wheezing like a senior citizen in summer. Not a good look. To prevent that, we asked Aussie activewear guru and healthy living advocate Lorna Jane Clarkson for her top tips for blitzing those winter workouts like a total boss. 1. FUEL UP WITH WARM FOODS As a guide, pre-workout snacks should ideally have a load of carbohydrates, some protein and a small amount of fat, – so your morning chocolate croissant and double-shot mocha…

THE LUST-HAVE ALL THAT GLITTERS In the words of Holly Golightly: “What I’ve found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany’s. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there.” And thanks to the allure of Tiffany & Co.’s exquisite set of sparklers – all beautifully cut diamonds set in gleaming precious metals – we’re booking an Uber now.…

JADÉ TUNCDORUK @jadetunchy 290,000 followers I have 35,000 photos in my camera roll right now, including a heap of shots from this Pandora fashion event. My sister was following me around all day trying to find the best background with the best lighting. We were standing on a little bridge over a pond when we eventually got the shot, then my sister fell into the water behind her trying to get a lower angle of me. It was hilarious. I have a second Instagram account called @therealjadetunchy where I post imperfect shots from my life. I feel like there’s a lack of transparent and real influencers, and I want to be honest about my life and share my struggles – as well as my awkward facial expressions. The secret to…

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO DATE … WHEN YOU’RE HIV-POSITIVE By May Samuelle as told to Kathryn Madden In retrospect it made sense. My ex’s health was always up and down; he was an asthmatic, always getting colds. But when my GP told me I was HIV-positive back in 2009, I was shocked. I didn’t sleep for two weeks. I was 25, finishing uni and had just come out of a three-year relationship. My ex had no idea he’d – or we’d – been living with the virus. It took me 18 months to make sense of it. I educated myself about HIV in Australia and what it means for women. I knew things would be fine – I didn’t have any symptoms and my viral load was very low. The…

DANIELLE PANICH REGIONAL MANAGER “My husband says my job is just to talk to people,” says Danielle Panich, 36. “Which is a good thing because I love to talk.” Eighteen years ago she arrived at Flight Centre as a wide-eyed high school graduate; today she oversees the company’s western Sydney division in a role that blends the glamour of globetrotting with big business. The daily groove of dealing with stakeholders and looking after 400 staff comes with a few pinch-me perks: “I was flying business class by the time I was 23,” Panich confesses, and a typical getaway ranges from shark-diving in Cape Town to trekking in Nepal. But the biggest benefit of her job is flexibility. “After I had a baby two years ago, I was able to job-share…

It gives a natural coverage that is glowing and radiant. I also really like Charlotte Tilbury mascara.” She is super low-maintenance with her hair. “I just wash it at night and let it dry naturally. Sometimes I’ll put it in a plait to give it some more texture.” She loves a multi-tasking product. “I’m obsessed with the Kora Rose Quartz Luminizer. I put that on my brow bone, near…

What was your inspiration behind this new collaboration? One of my inspirations was Molly Ringwald. There is an image of her photographed by Sheila Metzner that I find incredible. I was also inspired by my mother and early memories of her putting on bright red lipstick and nothing else [on her face]. Like many of your fashion collections, this make-up range is centred on flowers. What is it about flowers that fascinates you? I’m interested in the idea of the flower and how it represents femininity. My goal for the make-up line was to reflect the strange shades and textures that exist in the flower world. It has everything from matt lip powder to a slick lipstick. Can you elaborate on the collection’s name, Strange Flowers? It was one of…

The closing minutes of the 2017 Oscars should have been a crowning moment in Faye Dunaway’s career. The actress and Warren Beatty were presenting the last award of the evening – for Best Picture – in honour of this year’s 50th anniversary of their heist classic, Bonnie and Clyde. But the entire world knows how the next few minutes panned out. While a lesser star might have slunk off home after inadvertently, and rather proudly, announcing the wrong winner, Dunaway instead took the opportunity to remind everyone what a truly exceptional performer she is. Wearing a Prabal Gurung gown that made every best-dressed list, the 76-year-old swept into the Governors Ball afterparty like she owned it, witheringly shutting down anyone who dared mention the incident. “I am not going to…

Almost every morning, a Syrian girl with a winning smile takes a deep breath and dives into the Olympic swimming pool on the outskirts of Berlin. As she rips through the water with a butterfly stroke honed from a lifetime of swimming, Yusra Mardini never forgets how close she came to drowning in the Mediterranean in 2015 as she fled the civil war in Syria. When the motor on their dangerously overcrowded boat stalled off the coast of Turkey, Yusra and her older sister, Sarah, swam for more than three hours in the churning seas, pushing the boat towards the Greek islands. They helped save not just their own lives but those of 18 other refugees. “I thought it would be a real shame if I drowned,” Yusra said with…

Being nominated for a Golden Globe this year was a full-circle moment for Katherine Langford. After filming the first season of the hit Netflix series 13 Reasons Why in 2017, the Perth-born actress watched the awards from her couch as Claire Foy won Best Actress for her role in The Crown. “A year later, I was nominated alongside Foy – and sitting next to her at the awards,” Langford says, the disbelief resounding in her voice. When we speak, the 22-year-old is flying under the radar in her hometown after promoting her first film, Love, Simon, in Sydney. Since swapping her couch for the life of an A-lister, Langford admits that she has to be “careful” when going out in public. She laughs as she recalls her first fan moment:…

It started where many good ideas do: at a magazine. Back in the ’90s, intrepid accessories editor Kate Brosnahan (soon to be Spade – thanks to a ring on her finger) noticed the need for a perfectly practical handbag to swing down the avenues of New York. The combination of a dream, hard work and a preppy aesthetic meant that Kate Spade’s oh-so-simple Sam handbag was soon being carried by Anna Wintour, Gwyneth Paltrow, even tastemaker Miss Piggy, as well as non-celebrities proud to brandish a logo with a woman’s name. Its boxy silhouette became a symbol of success and an up-market alternative to the shapeless styles and bulky briefcases toted by executives. Cue more handbag designs, shoes, floaty dresses and accessories and the dream soon grew bigger than its…

Winter weather, a heated office and year-round heat styling; it’s no wonder our hair often looks and feels worse for wear this time of year. And while we are quick to moisturise our face and body, tresses often take a back seat. The telltale sign hair needs some TLC? “Mid-lengths and ends that snag or knot easily,” says Peter Beckett, brand ambassador for Moroccanoil. Renya Xydis, owner of Valonz Haircutters and ambassador for Dyson Supersonic, explains, “It’s dull, there’s no elasticity in it, it’s hard to blow-dry. It starts to look fuzzy and it’s not manageable.” Getting your hair back to healthy doesn’t necessarily mean a drastic chop. “There’s lots of layers to the hair and the cuticle (the outer layer) has some regenerative capacity,” says Rodney Sinclair, a professor…

1 Improve your health Focus on the basics, such as getting decent sleep at night when it’s dark, looking after your diet with good, healthy natural food, and moving every day. 2 Seek out challenges By being put to the test in smaller ways (facing fears, learning new skills), we build up resources we can draw on later. 3 Accept the situation Recognise that sometimes external stressful events happen and we can only control how we react to them. 4 Learn your moods Be able to name and manage your thought patterns, moods and emotions, so they don't adversely affect your mental health. 5 Reach out Ask for help. Having other people in our lives supporting us and loving us is the greatest buffer for stress that we encounter.…

Copenhagen’s queen of raw luxury, Karina Tholstrup Hansen, lives in a halo of rich jewel tones and decadent metals. From emerald and sapphire to rose-gold and brass, no colour or finish is too excessive to the designer’s refined eye. “I love working with darkness and heaviness – when a home embraces you as soon as you walk in the door,” says Karina, owner of interiors store Floor45. The small apartment she shares with her French bulldog, Harald, is on the third floor, where natural light falls beautifully into the rooms through large windows. This and the home’s high ceilings gave Karina the freedom to go “off-scheme”, filling her space with treasures as she finds them, rather than subscribing to a predetermined look. Design icons, vintage pieces and art share the…

DIANE CHAMBERS I have such a weird and dysfunctional family. When I was three weeks old, my parents packed up the whole family and moved to the Nullarbor, where my dad was a professional fox hunter. One night my dad was out hunting and mum was in our cabin in the middle of nowhere, alone, with two little kids. A man came to the door and mum pulled a rifle on him. It turned out to be someone who worked nearby, but mum wasn’t going to let anything happen to her kids. She has always been a strong, independent woman and a leader. I really saw that when my mum and dad’s marriage broke down when I was 20. It was a confronting time in my mum’s life, but the…
