Lisa Twang Assistant Editor I love my mother because... “She raised us, her three children, with so much love – and was brave enough to get her Honours degree at the age of 46. I love her sharp wit, amazing cooking skills, and how she has the most fun taste in music... She never apologises for singing and dancing along to Katy Perry!” Goh Sze Ming Marketing Manager I love my mother because... “Her selfless and unconditional love for me is beyond compare. She is someone I can always count on – rain, hail or shine – and is everything I could ever ask for in a mother. My view of life has taken on the warmest hue because I am raised by a lady with a good heart.” Elizabeth…

10 When dressmakers set out to create Grace Kelly’s iconic dress for her wedding to Prince Rainier III of Monaco, they broke it down into 10 parts, including lace bodices, an accompanying slip, an under bodice, foundation pieces, two petticoats, a silk skirt, a train insert and a cummerbund. Her dress was created by costume designers at MGM, the same company she worked with on films such as High Society and Mogambo. 4.5 When Norman Hartnell was designing the wedding dress then-Princess Elizabeth II wore for her wedding to Prince Phillip of Greece, he looked to a Botticelli painting for inspiration on the 4.5-m train. Reportedly, the designer also opted to use Chinese silk as opposed to Japanese or Italian silk, so as to avoid lingering sensitivities from World War…

So as you get back to your desk for another week, suit up in a stylish blazer. This season, relaxed tailoring takes the spotlight, with looser cuts that are more forgiving on the figure.

Mental illness affects one in ten Singaporeans, a survey conducted by the Singapore Association for Mental Health found in 2010, with major depressive disorder being the most common condition. Interestingly, everyday habits can often trigger conditions like depression, anxiety and substance abuse disorder. And sometimes there can be subtle warning signs that you may be at risk of developing a mental illness. By making healthy lifestyle choices, and being aware of what to look out for, you can help protect your mental health. Psychologist Dr Margo Orum, who helps people with a range of mental illnesses, helps five women identify their risk factors and explains how they can protect their mental health. THE HEALTH SCARE “I’ve always been a bit of a worrier but last year I had a breast…

White vs Brown Sugar At a molecular level, there is barely any difference between the two varieties. It’s just that the molasses are not removed from brown sugar. This, however, does not mean it is healthier than white sugar. Milk vs Dark Chocolate A UK study of 21,000 adults found those who ate the most chocolate (up to 100 g daily) were 11 per cent less likely than those who ate no chocolate to have a heart attack or stroke. And the choc lovers ate more milk chocolate than dark. Fresh vs Dried Fruit Fruit loses vitamin C when it’s dried, but all other active ingredients remain the same. And dried fruit has more minerals and fibres in concentrated form. Dried apricots contain iron, dried apples have potassium, and figs…

My mum and I have always shared a close relationship – probably because she gave birth to me in her early twenties, and raised me herself after my dad passed away from a sudden heart attack. We have similar interests and tastes, and would often go out together – strangers we met even thought we were sisters! But the real secret to her beauty and youthfulness was a shocking one, even to me... I thank our family’s lucky genes for my natural beauty, but I would still go for facials and undergo medical aesthetic procedures to treat and correct minor skin imperfections. My mum loved massages and facials, but shied away from aesthetic treatments as she feared that they might be painful and expensive. In October last year, I had…

This May issue is our tribute to mothers. Where would we be without them? The unconditional love, the sacrifices... I know women who have put their careers in the back seat (willingly), so that they can spend time with their children during their formative years. Do they have regrets? Some say they have moments of envy at seeing their peers rise up above them, but they also share how much they treasure the time they have with their kids because they could never recreate them again. Then there’s the majority of mums whose life is a daily balancing act. It’s not easy juggling work and family but women have an innate strength and will to push things through, to give our children the best we can. The team at The…

 Everyone has 24 hours in a day, but some people know how to stretch their time out and make the most of it, and Ginette Chittick, 41, is one such woman. Between training young minds in her position as Programme Leader of the Diploma in Fashion at LASALLE College of the Arts, dropping beats behind the DJ booth, singing and playing bass for her band Astreal and tapestry-weaving, Ginette still finds time to balance her roles as a mother and wife at home. 'This tee-and-dotty skirt combo is the perfect embodiment of my style. It’s flirty, fun and still a little edgy., On the style front, Ginette has never been one to shy away into the background. She injects every outfit she wears with a cool-girl vibe, favouring edgier pieces…

After nurturing a baby for nine months, a woman’s body goes through several physical changes. While some of these changes go away fairly quickly after childbirth, others may linger for a long time, or even end up being permanent.We take a look at some of the changes you can expect, and how to cope with them: You experience weight gain If you’ve got that postpartum “mum pouch” that just refuses to go away, you may have diastasis recti (a separation of the abdominal walls).This is a common condition experienced by women who have had kids, and while it usually takes the uterus around six to eight weeks to return to its normal size, this stubborn belly bulge is more than that.A sensible diet and targeted exercises can help:Talk to an…

CHRISSY TEIGEN After giving birth to daughter Luna in 2016, Chrissy fell into postpartum depression. Her appetite suffered, she cried often, and could not bring herself to leave her couch, sometimes sleeping there for four nights in a row. “Postpartum depression does not discriminate. I couldn’t control it. And that’s part of the reason it took me so long to speak up: I felt selfish, icky, and weird saying aloud that I’m struggling. Sometimes I still do,” says Chrissy. She credits husband John Legend for being her rock, and says she spoke up about her struggle so other mums would know they are not alone. AMANDA SEYFRIED The Mamma Mia actress suffered from OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) as a teenager, but has made great improvements since. “I had pretty bad health…

The key to good fried rice is high heat. The rice needs to be cooked sufficiently until the grains are separated and toasty. You know it is done when the rice grains get all heated up, and start jumping around inside the wok. Use rice that’s completely cool so the grains don’t clump together. The perfect rice is day-old rice. Freshly cooked rice contains a lot of moisture and this will prevent it from getting that charred, caramelised flavour. Old or aged rice will produce fluffier fried rice as the individual grains are drier compared to new crop rice, which cooks up stickier as it absorbs more water. This is just a point to note, so you’ll know why the results may vary. You can use both fish sauce and…

Dog (2006, 1994, 1982, 1970, 1958, 1946) Work will be hectic and busy, so be prepared for any last minute changes. However, you will be well rewarded through your hard work. There may be strong distractions for your relationship, so be loyal and remember to draw the line. People who are single can look forward to a fresh new, fulfilling relationship. Rat (2008, 1996, 1984, 1972, 1960, 1948) This is a trying month, and you will need to hold on to your horses. Plan before you move forward; there are rumours about you going around, so ensure that you keep your act together. Wealth luck is weak, so avoid hasty investments.

TRENDY BERET Meghan shows that she’s still in touch with fashion trends by donning the French number at the Commonwealth Service, instead of a more traditional hat. NO PANTYHOSE At her engagement photocall, Meghan ignored an unspoken royal family policy of wearing stockings in public, preferring to flaunt her bare legs instead. CROSSBODY BAG INSTEAD OF CLUTCH Royals are encouraged to carry clutches to prevent unwanted handshakes when out in public, but Meghan went hands-free by slinging a chic Strathbury bag across her body – it sold out within 11 minutes. CASUAL, MESSY BUN On two royal engagements, Meghan made headlines when she stepped out with a loosely-tied bun and wispy fringe instead of perfectly-coiffed hair. SHEER ENGAGEMENT DRESS In her official engagement photos, Meghan wore a beautiful Ralph &…

Is your skin dull and sagging under the devastating ravages of time? It is only natural that as we grow older, our skin loses its elasticity, causing those dreaded fine lines and wrinkles. This is because as we age, our bodies produce less collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks that keep our skin bouncy and firm. When they are depleted, crinkles and crow’s feet begin to appear as a result of the dryness and dehydration. Avoiding collagen-killers such as smoking, stress, over-exposure to the sun and poor nutrition is vital, but using a preventive anti-ageing skincare product is just as important to keep your skin vibrant and radiant through every season of life. Intense Hydration With Astalift’s signature product Jelly Aquarysta, you can restore much needed hydration to…

Her mum, Susan Tan, 56, is a homemaker and has been happily married for 30 years. “Having children was expected once I got married” Susan says: “When I grew up, women were expected to put marriage and family ahead of climbing the career ladder. The most important thing about the job I chose was that it had to be in a large organisation that would give me financial security and stability. I worked in the sales and marketing department of a property and hotel developer for ten years and did well there, before giving it all up…

It’s time to adopt the high-fact diet. Here, we share new findings and bust some myths so you can get smart about what goes on your plate We make an astonishing number of food decisions every day – more than 200, in fact. Of course, we’re not aware of all these decisions, as on many occasions it’s our subconscious coming into play. On the one hand, this allows us to focus more on other things, but on the other hand, it can lead to not-so-healthy decisions, especially when it comes to something as emotionally charged as eating. But how can we navigate this maze, become smarter eaters, and really enjoy food if we don’t even know the role our mind and brain play in our daily food choices? Thankfully, research…

But if I missed the opportunity to make money, I could always make it the next time. “Never neglect yourself, no…

Inspired by the contemporary, pared-back Scandinavian style, a black-and-white colour palette offers a sense of sophistication and simplicity; here, less is more. Prevent a monochrome scheme from looking bland by introducing one other colour and pops of texture and interesting detail, such as with textural ceramics. 1. Choose your artwork – combine different types of typography, photography and illustrated prints in similar colours. 2. Mix the thickness of frames and styles for visual interest. 3. Cut out scrap paper in the same size as your frames, then arrange on your wall with sticky tape. This lets you play with positioning before you put up adhesive hooks on your wall. 4. Start with the largest prints in the centre and work outwards, with smaller prints scattered on the outer edges. 5.…
