stylist advertorial Get glowing Still not fully au fait with the whole spa-at-home thing? Here’s how to turn your bathroom into a sanctuary It’s no secret that the power of beauty can often be somewhat overlooked and a little underestimated. But if the last year has taught us anything it’s that finding joy in the smallest things is possible, and that a little bit of self-care plays a vital part in that.

The power of sensorial beauty is a…

viva forever The inside story on how the Spice Girls began We speak to the people who were there from the very beginning to help make it happen “The chaos wasn’t put on – it was real” Martin Gardner was the stills photographer on set for the filming of Wannabe “The idea for the video was for it to be one continuous take, which meant I had to stay behind the steadycam operator. I was told by the director, ‘If you feel like you’re going to be in shot, you need to start dancing’ – that was made very clear! I took the picture that went on the cover of Music Week the next week. I was amazed how attentive they were. The video looks like it’s just girls running…

viva forever How girl power became world power Twenty-five years since the Spice Girls’ Buffalo-clad feet landed with a thud, we celebrate their legacy today Stylist’s Kayleigh Dray says Spice Girls set alight the feminist fire that burns in her Today “But I need to be Ginger Spice!” The year was 1996, I was seven years old in a too-big burgundy school jumper, grey skirt and knee-high socks, and I was fighting my corner. Because, when it came to our playground cover versions from the Spice album, I knew I deserved to be Geri Halliwell, just like I knew I was going to replace Zoe Ball on The Big Breakfast one day. The others, however, insisted my brown bobbed hair meant I had to be Posh Spice, so I was…

Financial expert Selina Flavius answers our burning questions about cryptocurrency and more Even if you usually flick past the business pages, this year, the world of finance will have infiltrated your group chats.

We follow middle-aged, mixed race, British woman Anna, who in the wake of her mother’s death, her daughter having recently ‘flown the nest’, and the imminent separation from her husband, is feeling rather lost and uncertain of who she is, and where her life is heading.
