Season of change In March this year my house finally looked exactly as I wanted it. That’s because we were selling it. All the extraneous stuff was gone, banished to a storage container on a dusty lot in west Auckland, leaving only the homewares and clothes we loved and needed. Every morning that the house was on the market and available to view, we’d squirrel away the few items that had made their way out, make sure the cushions were artfully arranged, and hang up two pristine mustard towels no-one was actually allowed to use. Then we’d leave, admiring how fab it looked and wondering if we should be selling it at all. This isn’t strictly decluttering, given the existence of that storage container, but I would advise the ‘open…

MY JOB IN ONE SENTENCE: I’m the ‘Chief Wrangler’ behind the scenes at Parliament. That includes my team and the MPs. WHAT I ENJOY MOST ABOUT MY WORK: When my team or MPs trust in me, confide in me and approach me for either advice or a decision – that makes me feel pretty great. PERK OF THE JOB: I love being able to engage directly with interesting people, whether it’s the Prime Minister or climate activists. I feel pretty lucky to have that sort of connection. MY MORNING ROUTINE: I usually start the day with a 6am run before heading to work around 8am with my breakfast salad. I can suffer from ‘hanger’ so I tend to hide in my office until that’s dealt with! HOW I UNWIND: I…

BARGAIN BUY If you love mid-century design but haven’t been able to snap up that Trade Me bargain, The Warehouse have come to the party with their affordable new range. We’re loving the retro entertainment unit, $179, and this lush – and very budget-friendly! – rug, $149. LITTLE LUXURIES First there were tiny houses, now there are ‘micromansions’: 375 square-metre, ultra-luxury homes. The first design by developer Frank McKinney features three bedrooms, four baths, a sun deck that floats between two pools, antique wood flooring from a sunken 16th-century Spanish galleon, sea-glass kitchen countertops, and a second-floor outdoor shower. We’re sceptical about the term ‘micro’, but we do love the idea of two swimming pools… TIDY-UP TIME Want to KonMari your home, but overwhelmed with the concept? Call in the…

PHYSICAL HUNGER… • Is satisfied by eating something • Builds gradually • Makes us hangry/irritable – which is relieved by eating • Occurs after time has passed since your last meal or snack. We also have taste hunger, which is the sensation that you want to eat something just because you like the taste of it. This is usually satisfied by having a couple of spoonfuls of Nutella or peanut butter, a bowl of ice cream or a few slices of cheese, that sort of thing. If you feel you need a much larger amount of food to satisfy that craving, then you might be looking at emotional hunger. EMOTIONAL HUNGER… • Is not completely satisfied by food or you feel as though you need more food • Creates very…

The book Ten to Zen has been making headlines since its release at the end of last year. Author Owen O’Kane, who has a background in psychotherapy and medicine, was inspired to write the book having seen the impact of not caring for our minds every day in his work. “Once, I was working with a lady who was really struggling with anxiety and I suggested a 30-minute daily meditation for her,” Owen recalls. “However, the demands of her life didn’t allow for her to give up a chunk of her day for this, which made me start thinking about creating something practical and helpful that could be used in just 10 minutes a day.” We can all carve 10 minutes out of our days in order to do some…

• Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is a broad term used to encompass cancers of the digestive system: the oesophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, bowel, rectum and anus. It is collectively the most common form of cancer in New Zealand. • Each year, gastrointestinal cancers kill more New Zealanders than prostate and breast cancers combined. • Gastrointestinal cancer affects males and females equally. • Bowel cancer is the most common GI cancer, and New Zealand has one of the highest bowel cancer death rates in the world.…

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20 Your feisty ruler, Mars, shows its sensitive side this month. You’ll be attracted to someone new who could quickly become important in your life. The winter solstice on the 22nd has the promise of financial gain. Change is in the air and you’re bang in the middle of it.

This is a lazy age. We’ve gone from hunter-gatherer, to boil in a bag, to drive-thru, to ‘drive it straight to my house because I can’t be bothered getting off the couch’. Someone else squeezes our fruit for ripeness, bags it up and brings it over; we’re too lazy to go out for a movie: we Netflix in bed eating Rice Bubbles without milk (too lazy to walk to the fridge) instead. We’re lazy when we write – the height of romance these days is cut-and-pasting someone else’s poetry. There’s no such thing as plagiarism any more, just clever borrowing. “She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines…” Never mind that Fitzgerald never actually said this, no one under 30 has heard of him. Now that we…

THE BEST PIECES OF ADVICE I’VE EVER BEEN GIVEN ARE: 1. Always be honest. 2. Stay humble. 3. Always be kind to people but don’t let people take your kindness for granted. Top of my bucket list is… Travelling overseas and seeing the world with my new hubby! The movie I’ve watched the most is… Pride & Prejudice (the Keira Knightley version). MY LAST SUPPER WOULD BE... Dad’s roast chicken with my mum’s self-saucing chocolate pudding. My typical working week: I love my sleep, so on Mondays you’ll always find me snoozing through my alarm a few times. Breakfast is usually oats with honey and banana and a big glass of water. I’m a massive fan of skin care so every morning I’ll wash my face and pop on sunblock…

On success DUNCAN: How did you define success when you were younger? AMANDA: When I was a kid, success was being rich. Fancy houses, flash cars, overseas travel, designer clothes. Success for me now – at the ripe old age of 42 – is happiness, and being in a loving relationship. Also having good relationships with your family, with your girlfriends, at work, and having a job you love. Being happy and content, basically. D: And that’s good for you, isn’t it? Because you haven’t always been so settled, and it’s always worried me a bit. Now you’re the settled one, and I’m not. A: Yes, we’ve swapped. We’ve changed roles. But what about you, how did you define success when you were a kid? D: It was about winning.…

Clearing out your house, and life, has unexpectedly become a hot topic – particularly when it comes to what seems to be everybody’s dirty secret: the wardrobe. “I’ve been getting so many calls,” says Danijela Coha, who is also know as the Wardrobe Fairy, a professional closet declutterer and organiser. “There’s been a lot of interest this year,” agrees Hayley Stevens of Vault Couture, a luxury wardrobe management service. “I think Marie Kondo has revealed how much better you can feel when you’re more organised, and now people want to do it for themselves.” But can you do it yourself? How do you get from a daily state of wardrobe malfunction, with shoes stuffed in drawers and jumpers dangling from wire hangers, to the unlikely scenario of opening the doors…

Q: Help! Our TV needs an upgrade but there are so many options… A:We are definitely living in the future when it comes to televisions, with most of them being as smart as your home computer. The best way to buy a TV is to try and future-proof yourself as much as possible. The Samsung QLED 8K TVs have four times more pixels (33 million, to be exact) than a 4K HD TV, while the 8K Quantum Processor intelligently up-scales content to show stunning detail. This means whatever the original resolution, your favourite content will look even better on a QLED 8K TV and allow you to be able to watch 8K content when it becomes more mainstream in the future. noelleeming.co.nz/ techsolutions…

I want you to imagine hunger like a fuel gauge in your car that goes from zero to 10. Zero is totally empty: you’ve hit a wall, you might feel woozy as if you have low blood sugar, you’re ravenous. Five is neutral, neither hungry nor full. There’s no sensation in your stomach, you’re not really aware of it, you’re just going about your life. Ten is stuffed, so full you feel like you’re going to burst. Ten is like Christmas Day after turkey, pudding and half a box of chocolates. Most people wait until they’re about one or two before they start to eat, and that’s a sign you’ve gone too long without food. It can feel chaotic and out of control. It might make us feel like we…

1 STOP “Stopping and taking 10 minutes out of each day can have the most incredibly positive impact on your life. In a short amount of time you can enable the brain to quieten, leading to calm and rational thinking. It will also allow you time to process events in your life. When we don’t stop to process, our level of distress often increases. But how do you just stop? Turn off your phone, step away from your computer, step outside of the office.” 2 SURROUND YOURSELF WITH RADIATORS, NOT DRAINS “The saying goes that there are two types of people in life – radiators and drains. While this is an over-simplification, it is important to have people in your life that pick you up and offer hope and support…

THE BEE’S KNEES Growing up under the gaze of Taranaki’s sacred maunga, door-stop honey sandwiches made with Sunday’s barracuda loaf used to be a favourite Monday school lunch box treat, and if you could eat them before the marauding wasps descended, so much the better. Egmont Honey is a family business that’s named after the region’s unmissable landmark and the liquid gold the Annabell family produce with the help of some busy winged friends is exported to more than 18 countries. Try Lemon ’n Honey, $12 (delicious on toast or as a hot toddy), or the Raw Honey, $13 at Countdown supermarkets, or the online-only Manuka UMF range from $42.50 at egmonthoney.co.nz. BOWL RIGHT UP! When it’s cold outside there are few things more comforting than a piping-hot bowl of…

Kim Beswick from House ofTravel Ferrymead finds the perfect hotel room, fulfilling Mandy’s dream of a lifetime. When Mandy and Colin first came to see me they were going to the UK. We sat down for a cup of tea and a chat, and it emerged that Mandy had dreamed of seeing Egypt since she was a little girl, so a side trip was added to the original itinerary. When they saw the hotel I was recommending, Mandy laughed at the images, assuming that the pyramids had been photoshopped into the background. It was her ultimate dream to wake up to a view of the pyramids, so ensuring that happened became my challenge! On their return, Mandy and Colin came to see me and I knew that my efforts had…

Pretty much everything in Lisa Carrington’s life right now is targeted at making her fitter, faster and stronger. When you are a champion kayaker, on track to becoming one of our most decorated Olympians, there is no energy to spare for things that don’t further your goals. Not when the difference between victory and loss can be mere fractions of seconds. Not when it’s your job to win a race. We are used to seeing footage of Lisa powering her kayak across the finish line and punching the air in triumph – it’s why she received her third Halberg for Sportswoman of the Year in February. What we rarely glimpse is the discipline it takes to get her there. The hours of repetitive physical training, the regular physiotherapy to prevent…

Before a certain five-letter hashtag changed our collective consciousness in October 2017, Rose McGowan was an actress best known for an early career in indie films and, more recently, in the long-running supernatural television series Charmed. Now, however, 45-year-old Rose is a crusading advocate and activist, one of the most prominent voices of the #MeToo movement, and Time magazine’s 2017 joint Person of the Year, as one of the ‘Silence Breakers’. And Brave, her bestselling memoir-cum-manifesto, which details her alleged rape by Harvey Weinstein (who denies all charges of nonconsensual sex) was published in paperback just three days before he was expected to appear in court for a pre-trial hearing. “It seemed, to everyone else, like all this just came out of the blue, but for me it’s been a…

No day is ever the same for me. I dress more than 20 presenters and reporters for seven different news and current affairs shows daily, starting with The AM Show, then moving on to the 4pm news, Newshub Live at 6, The Project, and Newshub Late. I also style for The Nation, the weekend news and Prime News. In addition to curating looks for the studio presenters, I source outfits for the on-air reporting teams across the country and on assignment overseas – whether they’re on a mountain top, a flooded plain, the High Court, the UN, the Beehive, even the Oscars red carpet. That’s the fun part and it takes up about 50% of my time. The rest is spent doing paperwork, collecting and returning the clothes (it’s like…

Hope is beloved by poets and scientists alike. Scientists define hope as ‘agency’ and ‘pathways’ thinking – in other words it’s made up of two things, the will power (motivation) and the way power (strategies and self-belief) to get to where or what we want. Believing we can do something and seeing ways by which we might get there is the essence of hope. But what of those moments when we feel hope-less? How can we reignite the spark and rekindle hope when we lack it? Sometimes it feels like the pilot light has been turned off and it’s so darn hard to get the whole fire going again. Poet Emily Dickinson said, “Hope is the thing with feathers”, but on a bad day, when I’ve slipped so far under…

PURRFECT PIECES Say goodbye to the grey days of winter with Twenty-seven Names’ 70s-inspired collection. While there are plenty of everyday pieces in the form of crisp white cotton and blue denim, the whimsical brand has also gone big on colour with Beyoncé yellow, apple green, powder blue and dusk pink – not to mention bold florals. We particularly love their psychedelic cat camo print skirt, $550, and floral jacket, $790. twentyseven names.co.nz EYES ON THE PRIZE Add a little 90s to your look, with the Specsavers autumn/ winter range.

Plus, this season will see Specsavers partner with Parisian designer label…

FROM INTERIOR DESIGNER Rebecca Richmond A couch is a big-ticket purchase so it’s important to take your time, consider the size of your space, and make sure it fits with your overall aesthetic. Three of the hottest styles right now are leather, casual-comfy, and plush velvet. CASUAL Couches covered in natural linen are a classic. For the ultimate casual look, opt for a large, loose-covered piece and instead of foam seat cushions look to fill them with feathers, making sure they have gussets in the back cushions to keep the feathers in place. Loose covered sofas are great for high traffic areas: when it’s in need of a freshen up all you need is to whip off your cover and take it to the dry cleaners. LEATHER When choosing a…

1 SPF It’s a common misconception that the lack of sun in winter means you can relax on your SPF, especially if you head out at lunchtime. And don’t forget your hands – often one of the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing, these can be neglected during winter. Use a hand cream formulated with SPF to help prevent accumulative UV damage. Top tips: • Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Choose a sunscreen that doubles as a moisturiser to keep skin plump and protected. • Look for suncare products that contain vitamin B3, which helps to maintain a normal skin barrier function while also improving skin tone and texture. 2 SKIN Winter can really wreak havoc on the condition of your skin. Vicki Engsall, co-founder and brand director…

You’ve spoken about being inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of Elizabeth Arden, who established her cosmetics empire in New York in 1910. What do you think today’s aspiring female entrepreneurs can learn from her legacy? I think it’s always important to understand the stories of the women that came before us. Women who fought to own their own companies, to start businesses, who advocated for our right to vote, and for female equality all around the world. Elizabeth Arden was a great inspiration to me as an entrepreneur and as an activist for women. As Elizabeth Arden’s Storyteller-in-Chief, you’ve described your role as being to “highlight female-centric stories that illustrate women’s true-life experiences”. Such stories “unite us all,” you say. What’s a story that’s stood out to you since you…

On the morning of my interview with the nutritionist Laura Thomas, I skipped breakfast. I knew I would be having a big lunch with a friend at a restaurant and that I was going to another friend’s for dinner that evening. I walked to our meeting and back, to try to clock up the recommended 10,000 steps. The day before, I ate lunch at 4pm because I’d been at meetings all day – baguette, chips and a brownie. I felt guilty about it, so to level things out, my dinner (at 10pm) was a few sad asparagus spears. While ostensibly healthy and balanced, my eating habits, like many women’s, are led by a conscious and subconscious set of rules: counting, planning, cancelling out ‘bad’ things with ‘good’ things. It is…

I started having symptoms around September 2015. Initially my symptoms would swap between being constipated and having diarrhoea – it would be like that for a few days, and then I would be absolutely fine. Having three small kids, I thought maybe I just had a bug, or hadn’t been eating properly or regularly, or I was lacking sleep. But it reached a point where I was running to the bathroom 10 times a day, and some blood would come out. That’s when it started to get a little more frightening and the doctors began to do more tests. But the problem with the flare-ups – and this is good for people to know – is I would be running to the toilet 10 times a day, but the very…

Cauliflower larb with coconut rice and fresh leaves A master of disguise, the cauliflower like its cabbage cousin, can be eaten raw or cooked, is high in vitamin C and fibre, and is at its tasty best in the cooler months SERVES 4 Larb is a flavoursome dish from Northern Thailand that is usually made with meat and served as a salad with rice and crisp leaves.

1 Singapore It may be one of the smallest nations in the world, but the Lion City has a lot to offer families looking for a taste of the tropics in a modern, stylish environment. If you can rustle the kids out of bed early enough, it pays to get a head-start on the day, bypass the crowds and pack in as much exploring as possible. An absolute must-do with little ones is to head to Sentosa Island, which is accessible from the city via car, monorail, pedestrian boardwalk and even cable car. The island is full of attractions including Universal Studios, Adventure Cove Waterpark, and Kidzania; a huge, city-themed indoor park where children can role-play being pilots, surgeons, and chefs, among dozens of other professions. As well as being…
