“We can navigate change and thrive” I have lost count of the number of people who have told me over the past week about an immense change happening in their lives – from moving house, city or even country, to splitting up from long-term relationships, starting families, buying dogs or quitting careers that have been years in the making. Many people would point the finger at Saturn or another planetary disruptor because the air is so filled with radical choices about our life direction, but it seems far more likely to me that we’ve reached peak pandemic and – after a year of monotony – are pulling out the change-making big guns. Months of lockdown, anxiety, fear and enforced disruption to our plans and lives have been the catalyst for…

“We all make mistakes” words: billie bhatia It was only a matter of time until Chrissy Teigen – one of the internet’s biggest voices – broke her silence. Teigen was publicly called out after a series of tweets surfaced from 2011 and 2012 where she used cruel, callous and trolling language towards other people. One of those people was then 17-year-old Courtney Stodden. Let’s call it what it was: pretty bloody awful. After the internet went into meltdown, the laws of cancel culture prevailed and Teigen served a month in the internet sin bin. That was until her recent Instagram apology. Teigen’s post, six slides long, was in my humble opinion a sincere, honest apology acknowledging not just the ways in which she seriously impacted people’s feelings and self-worth, but…

feature “We were the real-life Derry Girls” Derry Girls was the first time writer Alix O’Neill saw her Northern Irish teenagehood reflected back at her. Here she recounts the messy, fake-tan-soaked reality of growing up during the Troubles In the very first episode of Derry Girls, the hit show that follows a group of teenagers living in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, a bomb scare on a bridge inconveniences Aunt Sarah. “I’m not enjoying this bomb. I’ve an appointment at [the tan shop] Tropicana at 12. Sure I’ll not get over the bridge at this rate,” she tuts over her Cornflakes. I remember watching the scene with my six-week-old son sleeping on my chest, trying not to wake him as I squealed with laughter at the familiarity of it all.…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 21 PROBING QUESTIONS Konnie Huq What will the TV presenter and author make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? 42, if you read The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. But obviously there is no meaning – it just is. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? Right and wrong is often in the eye of the beholder, which is why there are so many bad eggs in society. But on the bright side, there are lots of good ones, too. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? Being at home with friends or family. You can’t want more than good friends and family. Everything else is just a bonus. NATURE OR NURTURE? Nature. Nature in the grand scheme of things, because we…

campaign How men can be allies in the fight against misogyny More than half of Gen Z boys believe feminism has ‘gone too far’. As part of Stylist’s A Fearless Future campaign, Dan Guinness and Ben Hurst of Beyond Equality explain why boys and men are vital to the fight against sexism and male violence words: hannah keegan “All women are sluts.” “Women only want men for their money.” “To be a man you have to be forceful with women.” These might sound like statements that belong to another era but shockingly, these are the sentiments that equality activist Ben Hurst hears every time he steps inside a classroom with teenage boys. Hurst is the head of facilitation for Beyond Equality, a charity battling toxic masculinity and sexism among men.…

beauty wash day hair saviours Three women reflect on their wash day hair routine and the products they can’t live without Words: Keeks Reid Wash day. Though seemingly simple, those two words can evoke a variety of feelings among Black women. For some, it is and always will be an arduous task, but for many, it’s a time to step into the realm of self-love – a two-hour celebration of kinks and coils. If anyone had told younger me that spending two-and-a-half hours washing and styling my hair would be a highlight of my week, I’d have scoffed in their face. But spending dedicated time, lathering up, sectioning, massaging, detangling in between reading, catching up on your favourite shows and listening to one of the many wash day…

Chocolate and almond pudding, anyone? for more recipes head to stylist.co.uk/food This fudgy chocolate pudding is beautifully simple and light enough for summer evenings: fluffy egg whites take the place of flour, making it gluten-free.
