“Welcome to the Curiosity academy” The pandemic has changed all of our outlooks, in ways none of us can truly understand yet. We’ve had time to reflect on the fragility of life and what we want out of it, been forced to determine our priorities, question the direction of the paths we are on and challenge ourselves to think deeply about our relationships, careers and home lives. We have seen people pack up their urban homes and head out of cities, watched as others began to prioritise health and wellbeing over the now very old-fashioned idea of a rat race, and we have all had to look our own careers in the eye. Whether furlough, redundancy, burnout or gratitude, the past year has challenged us all to question the role…

“Will I ever crave newness again?” words: billie bhatia During our morning Stylist team meetings, conversation often runs towards TV. With so little entertainment going on in the rest of our lives, it’s become the void-filler. “Have you seen [insert new show]?” “Ooh, I’m watching [insert new show], is anyone else?” “Guys, the new season of [insert relatively new show] comes out today, who’s in?” Despite hinging my entire existence on conversation, this is one of the few I am rarely able to join. Not because I don’t watch TV, but because I don’t watch new TV. Pre-pandemic, nights in were few and far between. There was always something more exciting to be doing – new bars to drink at, new people to make friends with and new experiences to…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Thaddea Graham What will The Irregulars actor make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? Jeez. Starting off nice and easy. Look, I’m 24, I have no idea. Just stay hydrated, recycle, wave at babies, smile at old people, stay curious, don’t settle or take things too seriously, have fun, look at trees. There’ll be highs, there’ll be lows, take it all as it comes and don’t be afraid to feel. We’re bloody lucky to be alive, make the most of it. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? The spelling. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? In front of Logic Pro with a mic, keyboard, guitar and buckets of time. NATURE OR NURTURE? I think both. Ultimately, we’re…

A one-day diary from morning latte to lights out Anna Khokhlova, Finance Director Anna, 34, is the finance director for the UK and Ireland at global beauty company, Coty. She currently lives in south-west London with her partner My alarm goes off… At 8am, usually. I’ll get up and put on some make-up with a blouse and sweatpants, as I’m still working from home right now. The blouse makes me feel like I’m actually ready to work, despite the sweatpants. I don’t eat breakfast, but I always start my day with a cup of coffee. Right now, I love Starbucks decaf coffee pods – I add a tiny spoonful of vanilla ice cream to sweeten it up. I’m responsible for… The financial health of the business and providing advice…

travel Surrender to nature’s healing powers From stargazing to forest bathing, find some inner calm with a short break immersed in nature Nature played a blinder this past year, of that we can surely all agree. During the toughest of lockdown restrictions, a simple walk through a park in peak blossom had the ability to lift our spirits and now, one year on from the start of lockdown, our hunger for that soul-reviving goodness is evident in the holidays we’re seeking out. A survey by Booking.com on future travel trends noted that 56% of its users were searching for rural, off-the-beaten-track experiences to ‘immerse themselves’ in the outdoors. And for good reason. Whether you’re into forest bathing, wild swimming or hiking, what you’re trying to achieve is the same, says…
