Personally, I’m determined to make this year full of positivity, no matter what. So I’m going to find…

The beginning of 2022 saw us come out of the throes of COVID-19 lockdowns, but into an uncertain political climate, turbulent economic times and then the death of our beloved monarch. In tough periods, we often look to those in the public eye for support and inspiration, and thanks to these leading figures, the past year has also held a lot of moments to celebrate. Here, woman&home rounds up our heroes, who’ve inspired us to show courage in the face of adversity. QUEEN ELIZABETH II In June, we came together to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and to honour her remarkable achievements as Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. Then, just months later, we joined one another in mourning and grief as the country and Commonwealth lost our steadfast sovereign when she passed…

‘I MARRIED SOMEONE TRULY SPECIAL’ Jane Albert, 65, married Hugh, 61, in Cornwall in May 2022. They live together in London. When my first marriage ended after 38 years, in 2013, it felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. We’d grown apart and things hadn’t been great for a long time. I’d married so young, and I needed to discover who I was again. It was very exciting to have that freedom – but there were lonely moments too. Around a year after my divorce, in April 2016, I felt ready to meet someone, so I decided to give online dating a go. I hadn’t dated since I was a teenager and, of course, the landscape had changed dramatically since then. I started to keep…

From teaching dance to running a kids’ summer school, managing a gym and lecturing in nutrition, I’ve racked up quite the CV. My first foray into the world of work was a Saturday job waitressing at Joe Lyons in Hackney, which was fun, even if balancing trays was not my forte. I didn’t start out with big plans, but somehow I ended up a career chameleon. I married a Frenchman at 25, and lived in Paris, doing various jobs, including teaching swimming and English to children. But not long after having a baby, I realised my then-husband and I wanted different things. He had a very traditional view of what a woman ‘should’ do – stay at home, cook and clean. I wasn’t made like that. So in 1980, I…

Becoming a grandparent for the first time blindsides many people. It’s not just the rush of love for this tiny person – your baby’s baby. It’s the realisation that the list of people you’d die for just got longer and, consequently, that your importance on the planet, your place in the Great Scheme of Things, has forever shifted. When you’re adopted, it is a chance to watch your genes unfurl, to understand how characteristics are passed down through generations, and to see parts of yourself emerging from another human being. Of course, I had this opportunity with my own children, but when it’s only one generation deep, seeing the parts of your children that look like you feels like coincidence. I’m part of the generation of adopted people born in…

MONOCHROME MAGIC To elevate this classic combination, opt for luxe-looking textures and sparkling accessories. Celestial-inspired jewellery and intricate pearls add delicate drama, ensuring you’ll dazzle after dark. JEWEL TONES Embrace colour with an injection of rich tones inspired by opulent jewels. Head-to-toe tonal dressing adds instant sophistication. Alternatively, opt for pops of contrasting hues for a fun take on this vivid festive trend.1 STYLISH SPARKLE High-shine metallics are a go-to at this time of year. Don’t be afraid to mix your metals – a glimmer of silver with a subtle glow from something golden adds a luxurious twist to this quintessential Christmas get-up. GOLDEN HOUR For added richness embrace cinnamon shades, warm coppers and bronze tones. The key to making this look feel extra sumptuous is to incorporate different materials.…

How to look your best every day! You’ve wrapped all the presents, you’ve bought the booze, and the Christmas cake has been prepped since autumn. Christmas can be such a hectic time that it can be hard to actually enjoy it. Now that (hopefully) things have started to calm down, it’s your time to pour a glass of fizz, sit back and relax. Whether you’re chilling on the sofa or dancing the night away, we have the ultimate solutions to look and feel your best this December and beyond. IS YOUR SKIN ALL PARTIED OUT? The combination of cocktails, late nights and rich foods could mean that your complexion is looking a little lacklustre. Bring things back to life with these speedy solutions.

We can help you live your best life We’ve all said ‘never again’ – only to wake with another stonking hangover. In fact, 47% of us admit we can’t control our alcohol intake, with the planned ‘just a couple’ of drinks often turning into a full-on binge * . And if you feel your hangovers are hitting harder than before – and lasting for longer than one day – sadly, you’re not imagining it. Liver function decreases with age, making the body less efficient at processing toxins. It’s also worse for women. ‘Our bodies have less water content and more fat content, so alcohol remains longer in the body,’ says nutritional therapist Shona Wilkinson. ‘Women also produce less alcohol dehydrogenase – the enzyme in the body that detoxifies…

Feeling low and sluggish? It’s common at this time of year. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a recognised condition experienced by around two million Brits * , with symptoms that include depression or anxiety, lethargy, plus disturbed sleeping and eating patterns. Exposure to bright light helps, but is a SAD lamp the answer if you can’t get outdoors? Here’s what to expect before parting with your cash. 1 YOU MIGHT FEEL HAPPIER Natural sunlight influences the ‘happy hormones’ that make us feel positive – so it’s no surprise that the winter blues may strike during the darker months. ‘A session with a SAD lamp is the next best thing when daylight is in short supply and you notice your mood starting to dip,’ says Dr Victoria Revell, senior…

We’ve chatted about all sorts of things in this column during the year, but one thing (I hope) remains constant in your mind. And that’s in order for our health to be optimum and our bodies to be in the shape we want, there has to be a basic year-round foundation of fitness and good nutrition. What I mean by that is getting ourselves into a good pattern of eating tasty, healthy food that fuels our body (not our emotions), and might even lean towards the latest trends of eating less red meat, more plants, less sugar, more fibre, less caffeine, more herbal teas and securing ourselves more smug points. The same goes for our fitness regime. It’s good to have in place a regular timetable of varied fitness activities…

PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney (£14.99, HB, Pan Macmillan) Daisy’s not sure what to expect from the family reunion at her grandmother’s isolated house on a private island. Not only will her divorced parents be there, but her two older sisters, who she hasn’t always had the best relationship with. And Daisy is right to be wary. Instead of celebrating an 80th birthday with cake and presents, the guests have eight hours to try to survive a mysterious killer before the tide goes out. As their nightmare continues, Daisy starts to learn the truth about what her family is capable of. A homage to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, with a modern twist you won’t see coming. CRIME MYSTERY Truly, Darkly, Deeply by Victoria Selman (£14.99,…

A DAY IN THE LIFE OFSally Lindsay The actress, 49, lives in Manchester with husband Steve White and their two sons. WAKE UP I’ve spent the past three months in Malta, on the set of Madame Blanc. A normal set day meant a wake-up time of about 5.45am. I’d take a COVID test and jump in the shower. I’d have a cup of tea and wait for the result, while watching the news. MORNING I’ve been living in a hotel, where hair and make-up are based too. So I’d go down and straight into hair and make up for about 6.30am. BREAKFAST I’d grab a croissant and have another cup of tea in make-up, while texting my husband and boys, as they’d be up by then. I’d then go into…

ANSTEY HARRIS lives in Scotland, where she runs a writing retreat. She has three grown-up children and two grandchildren – so far. On page 54, she talks about being adopted and becoming a grandmother. What’s the weirdest gift you have ever received? An empty record sleeve, framed, from my aunt Judith. It was the first Christmas I’d had with my birth family: I was 54. It’s Sister Sledge’s We Are Family. BA PARIS is a Franco-British writer of psychological thrillers. Her debut novel Behind Closed Doors has sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide. On page 171, she shares the books that changed her life. What’s the weirdest gift you have ever received?

LET’S CELEBRATE…

Are you watching your weight? I am. In fact, I’m looking at it right now, bulging out there in front of me – a little tootsie roll of tummy overlapping my jeans. Add in all that festive feasting and I’ll soon be able to apply for my plumber’s licence. My stretch pants may now have stretch marks, but rather than making arduous New Year’s resolutions to swap toffee for tofu, perhaps we should simply strap on a corset? The success of blockbuster TV series Bridgerton and The Great has rekindled an interest in underwiring. To be honest, I’ve always had a bit of bust lust too; a yearning for breasts that arrive about five minutes before I do. And so, venturing into a lingerie department, I pulled on a red…

What are you like first thing in the morning? I’m a lark so I’m good in the mornings. Always with a coffee, though. That’s a very important way to start the day off. What’s your worst habit? My house is usually really tidy, except for my own areas like my wardrobe and anywhere I keep office things. For some reason, they’re always untidy. If you’re at home alone, what will you do? You’ll sometimes find me wearing my pyjamas all day watching true-crime documentaries. It’s one of the reasons I loved working on the series Murdertown. It’s fascinating finding out how people solve crimes. The show brings together the voices of the people who worked on trying to solve these crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice. I find that…

The new year is beckoning… bright, shiny January, full of promise and fresh starts, and – for some reason – New Year’s resolutions. Every year, instead of acknowledging the truth (that January should be seen and not heard, like the badly behaved child of the calendar), we’ve all decided to assign the day we are most likely to be so hungover we can feel our livers, as the day we are going to commit to ‘improving ourselves’. I just have one question. Why? Who, in their infinite wisdom, decided we needed to add a new skill to our repertoire, stop drinking and drop 10lb in January, of all months? New Year’s resolutions are nothing but a perverse form of self-inflicted punishment, and, in the words of Radiohead (something I never…

Watching the Queen’s funeral, I was reminded of Her Majesty’s long reign, and of her coronation, which also took place in Westminster Abbey – something I was lucky enough to witness firsthand. Having grown up in Holkham Hall, near Sandringham in Norfolk, I had spent many years playing with the younger Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, later becoming Princess Margaret’s lady-in-waiting. Way back on a February morning in 1953, while travelling away for work, I was handed a telegram telling me I must come home immediately, as I had been selected to be a maid of honour at the Queen’s coronation. I was so excited. I was also the right age at 20, unmarried and my father an earl, so it made complete sense that I might be asked, but it…

One of my favourite outfit combinations is a lovely cotton shirt tucked into a stylish statement skirt. Think designer Carolina Herrera’s signature silhouette and you’re on the money. This elegant combination feels formal enough for a black-tie event or posh Christmas party, and is proof that you don’t need to wear a dress to feel dressed up. I’ve always taken a rather low-key approach to special occasion wear and definitely have a tendency to downplay rather than go overboard. My ideal choice of outfit is a combination of day and evening wear – something that feels effortless with just a little embellishment. It’s a relaxed look that goes everywhere – or what I refer to as Casual Glamour. The simple ‘shirt and skirt’ ensemble oozes style, panache and movie-star status;…

HOW CAN I GET WHITER TEETH? In-dental whitening procedures, like Zoom, give great results, but first try changing your toothbrush. I’ve swapped mine for a high-tech electric one: Oral-B iO4 Electric Toothbrush, £240, shop.oralb.co.uk. Teamed with a whitening toothpaste like Colgate Max White Ultra Active Foam, £8, you’ll soon notice a difference. If teeth have deeper stains, try Spotlight Oral Care Professional LED Teeth Whitening System, £119.95, spotlightoralcare.com. It gives dentist-level whitening in 30 minutes without sensitivity. HOW CAN I HELP MY TEEN WITH THEIR SPOT-PRONE SKIN? Suggest a gentle regime to help regulate oil production. My teen daughter loves the My Olivanna Apple AHA Foam Wash, £23, myolivanna.com, to exfoliate and brighten. Purifide Microbiome Equalizer, £14.99, Superdrug, helps to hydrate and balance spot-prone skin. At night, sweep a cotton…

How to pick the perfect pyjamas It’s not just to keep you snuggly during these cold winter months, it’s actually down to science. Woolly sleepwear comes out on top if you want to nod off quickly and sleep soundly because wool regulates your body temperature better, keeping you in the ‘thermal comfort zone’, according to researchers from the University of Sydney. This fact is all the more important for menopausal women: more than eight in 10 of us experience broken sleep due to our symptoms, whether it’s feeling too hot (68%) or getting sweaty nightwear or sheets (45%), found a survey by Woolroom. Concerned about the itch of wool? Merino wool sleepwear feels super smooth and soft. Due to the breathability of the fabric, it’s actually proven to be beneficial…

THIS MONTH ✢ Antidepressants ✢ Rejected for sex ✢ Migraine hangover Q I’m so embarrassed and don’t know where to turn – my partner has stopped wanting to have sex with me. He says he doesn’t have the urge to at all and that it’s a normal part of getting older. But I enjoy sex and don’t want it to be over – is it? A Libido is extremely complicated and complex, but a reduced sex drive is not an inevitable part of ageing, and people can continue to have active and fulfilling sex lives, lifelong. There are lots of different causes of loss of libido, which include both physical and psychological – and they often interact. For example, let’s say that on an occasion you found sex painful, perhaps…

Exciting ways to get away from it all THE MALDIVES… FOR CASTAWAY VIBES Is your idea of paradise a castaway desert isle, with stilted villas hovering over the sea and fish-filled reefs outside your bedroom window? Then you need the Maldives. This Indian Ocean nation – made up of about 1,200 sandy isles – is the picture of Robinson Crusoe-style romance. Not that you’ll be roughing it, mind. The Maldives is home to the world’s most exclusive, luxurious resorts, each typically occupying its own private island. Prices are high, but so are standards: hospitality, design and cleanliness are impeccable, and the white beaches quiet. To reach your island, you’ll need to take a speedboat or seaplane transfer from gateway Malé over turquoise waters. DREAM STAY Few resorts can match St…

INTRIGUE Crooked House by Agatha Christie When I was about 12, I would buy a bundle of Agatha Christie books from the second-hand shop. These introduced me to a world of mystery and murder. At that age I was always amazed when I found out who the murderer was. Crooked House threw me because the murderer was a child, and I hadn’t thought about a child being that evil. It was a bit worrying, as I had four brothers! RHYME OR REASON The Golden Treasury by Francis Turner Palgrave and John Press When I had run out of books, my dad gave me this anthology of poems. I didn’t understand what it was at first, as I’d never seen a poem. I read The Lady of Shalott by Tennyson and,…

The death of Queen Elizabeth II robbed the world of one of its most influential women. Someone who disarmed the establishment and redefined the old assumptions that major decisions were the preserve of powerful men. But far from this legacy coming to an end, there are already strong signs the real power behind the monarchy remains firmly in female hands. First, there’s Camilla – the once-hated mistress now elevated to Queen Consort. A woman who, quite frankly, has enjoyed a mesmerising influence on the man who now rules as king. From the moment they first met at a polo match in 1970 (they are pictured chatting at a match in 1972), Charles has been spellbound by her. Throughout 2023 and in the years to follow, the Monarch will have the…

STAR LETTER A GREAT READ My husband bought me a copy of woman&home to read while I isolated with COVID. I’d never read it before, but I couldn’t put it down. I read every single article – normally I thumb through a magazine and only read certain articles. Not this magazine. I was so impressed. I can’t wait to pass it on to my daughter, who I know will enjoy reading it just as much. Thank you for brightening up my recovery. Clare IT’S GOOD TO TALK The article Phone a Friend – It Might Make Their Day [September] prompted me to pick up the phone, and I remembered how much nicer it is to chat to people rather than send messages. I will now make a conscious effort to…

The passing of their beloved granny saw something of a reunion for the Prince of Wales and his brother, the Duke of Sussex. But with the latter now back stateside planning the release of his tell-all memoir and William set on ensuring the safety of the monarchy as he settles into his role as first in line to the throne, is there any chance of a full reconciliation? Entering the new year with their father as the monarch, 2023 could act as a clean slate for the brothers. As our royal columnist Duncan Larcombe says, ‘Blood is surely thicker than water.’ THE OLIVE BRANCH AND AN ULTIMATUM The rift between William and Harry showed signs of thawing when they and their wives met well-wishers in the wake of the Queen’s…

We all love to be helpful – it’s in our nature. You’ve probably already helped several people today without even thinking about it. Perhaps you made your partner’s breakfast, or ran an errand for a neighbour, made a cup of tea for a colleague or hugged a friend in need of support. When the headlines seem to be all about bad news, it can be reassuring to know that it’s a huge part of human nature to be loving, kind and compassionate – qualities that help us build relationships. There’s plenty of scientific evidence to show that healthy helping can be good for you, releasing beneficial neurochemicals like oxytocin and dopamine. When it comes from compassion rather than compulsion, helping itself can be an act of self-care. However, problems…

‘We’re helping people with difficulties, and cheering them up is a big deal’ Amelia Peckham, 36, and her mum, Clare Braddell, 64, launched Cool Crutches in 2006, after a devastating accident left Amelia with a life-long disability. The company produces a range of practical and comfortable, yet stylish walking supports. Amelia lives in North Yorkshire with her husband Andrew, 38, and two children. Clare lives in Gloucestershire with her husband Michael. THE IDEA Amelia In October 2005, at the age of 19, I had a quad bike accident in Scotland. I hit a pothole and the bike flipped. I immediately lost all feeling and movement from my waist down, and was airlifted to hospital. I had smashed my T12 vertebrae and caused damage to my spinal cord, meaning I would…

Want to feel happier and healthier, but don’t know where to start?

Domestic supermarket goddess Ocado has partnered with Nigella to create a ‘Nigella Loves’ aisle, so her favourite store cupboard ingredients are all in one place. I was lucky enough to hear about the campaign from Nigella over a delicious lunch hosted by Ocado. Inspiring cooks to get in the kitchen without judgement is Nigella’s mantra, and because she refuses to eat ‘bad food’, she’s passionate about everyday cooking. Her recipe for peanut butter spaghetti showed humble ingredients at their best – and who can resist her ‘mee-crowah-vay’ golden syrup steamed pud?
