“we’re all yearning for a spike of excitement” Last weekend I went for a walk with a friend I have walked with every week of lockdown. We took the same circular route that we always go on, regaled stories of our remarkably similar weeks, then walked and talked and walked some more, before ending up where we began. So far, so same-same. Yet, during that walk I saw something I hadn’t seen before (if you can imagine anything as exciting as seeing something new), and I have thought about it all week. Perhaps because I’m bored, or perhaps because what I saw sums up all of our Januarys right now. As I walked, two teenagers wearing co-ordinating T-Shirts strolled past me, seemingly unaware that they were twinning. One’s T-shirt said:…

Testing beauty’s latest looks Can We Find Any positives in Elie Saab’s Deep Side Parting? It might look chic on the catwalk, but will this sleek, scraped-back bun work in real life? Shannon Peter, Stylist’s beauty director, says: I really, really tried to force myself to like this look. So much so, that I came up with a list of pros: it’s functional, ridiculously easy to master and looks polished no matter how long ago your last wash day was. But unfortunately the list of cons was a lot longer: it’s too perfect, leaves your face too exposed, has no sense of charm, doesn’t match the rest of my scruffy WFH get up… I could go on. Hanna Ibraheem, Stylist’s senior beauty writer, says: I’ve always thought that sleek ballerina-type…

A one-day diary from morning latte to lights out Joy Ogude, physiotherapist Joy Ogude, 33, is a physiotherapist and founder of The London Physio. She lives in south-east London with her two cats, Aluna and Sasha My alarm goes off… At 5.18am, to be precise, but I like to snooze until about 5.30am. Before the pandemic, I’d have a cup of English breakfast tea and be at the gym for 6am, I was pretty disciplined. Now, though, if I’m doing a virtual physio session with a client from home, I get my workout as part of my session with them – we often do weight training – and have my tea at the same time. What hasn’t changed is that I still live in Gymshark workout gear and loungewear…

for more recipes head to stylist.co.uk/food The ultimate chocolate, orange and goji berry brownies Inevitably we’re eating out far less these days, and unless you’re a total kitchen wizard, humble one-course meals have likely become the norm. But we say it’s time to bring the most joyful course out of the shadows once more – whether you call it dessert, pudding or afters, you’ve surely missed it as much as we have. It’s the grand finale of any mealtime, and shouldn’t be skipped solely because you’re making dinner for one, either. With that in mind, here’s an absolute winner: chocolate, orange and goji berry brownie cakes from Ching-He Huang’s new cookbook Asian Green. They're indulgent but also pleasantly plant-based, which means they’ll keep much longer in the fridge. So make…

We deserve a pity party words: billie bhatia So here we are, trudging through January (already the universally worst month) in solitude, with the sirens of alarming infection rates and even more alarming fatalities leading me to Google, “Can humans hibernate?” While I knew it was entirely ridiculous that at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve Covid-19 would be washed away from the world like something out of the Old Testament, I couldn’t help hoping it would be. But I submitted another £1 to the brat jar (I’ve almost got enough to buy another candle) and forced myself to cheer the fuck up. Yes, I miss my friends so much that sometimes it physically hurts, my body continues to cry out for edible forms of vitamin D, thoughts…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Jack Monroe What will the food writer, journalist and anti-food poverty campaigner make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? Connection and having a positive impact on the world and people you come into contact with. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? Oh gosh, this is a big question. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? Roaming the streets of Edinburgh alone on a cold but deceptively bright autumn day. Yomping around the Lake District looking for a fireside pub to grab a pickled egg and a bag of crisps in. Hanging out with my 10-year-old son and my cat, both hilarious, very affectionate and a bit noisy! NATURE OR NURTURE? Depends on the subject. IS IT MORE IMPORTANT…
