Just chillin’

THIS MONTH’S FABULOUS PRIZE A NUXE hamper, worth R3515!

what we're loving RIGHT NOW! • WE’RE CALLING IT: 2021 IS ABOUT SELF-CARE, SUPPORTING LOCAL AND CELEBRATING EVERY WIN. SO WE’VE PICKED OUT SOME LUXE SKINCARE TREATS AND PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN PRODUCTS.

style icons • You don’t have to work in fashion to have a natural flair for it. We consulted the self-proclaimed Queen of the Underdogs, a food alchemist and two women who specialise in interiors for some style inspo. They didn’t disappoint.

ask the experts • We picked our style icons’ brains for advice, chatted about their favourite shops and got some insight into their look. Here’s a snapshot of what we learnt.

QAnon & co • In fact, they’re entering the mainstream. What’s going on? Why are seemingly intelligent people taken in by these nutty narratives?

COVID-19 DOESN’T EXIST.

2020’s MOST POPULAR CONSPIRACY THEORIES

HOW TO SPOT AN UNFOUNDED THEORY

MORNING RITUAL, GROUNDED LIFE • Many ancient religions have long-established morning rituals. Now, psychologists say, their practice could be key to having a productive day and living a considered life. By making healthy and conscious decisions in those first few moments, you’re setting a positive tone and an intention for the day ahead.

SCENE CHANGE • Sofia Coppola is an award-winning director, a mother, a wife and a warm, funny woman you’d like to have as a friend. Her latest film reunites her with Bill Murray, but this time he’s a father figure. (And no, we still don’t know what he said to Scarlett Johansson at the end of Lost in Translation.)

How accurate are PERSONALITY TESTS really? • The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI, is the most popular personality test in the world – more than 2 million people take it every year. Yet the two women who developed the test were not psychologists, and most of the assumptions were based on Jung’s untested findings from 1920. Are personality tests outdated? And why do we put so much faith in them?

STILL A BELIEVER?

THE CHALLENGER • In the fight for the leadership of the DA at a time of crisis for that party, the ANC, SA and the world, Mbali Ntuli came out guns blazing. She lost. But the interest she stirred suggests she won’t be in second place for long…

KICK-START the NEW YEAR! • It’s the perfect (and traditional) time to set some fresh goals, so why not try something slightly unusual? Here are 14 ways to get your new year off to a healthy start.

the OTHER BREAK-UP • For one woman, it was a 20-year friendship terminated in her 50s that brought a new and unexpected heartbreak.

BEYOND borders • Few countries are as far from each other in terms of climate, culture and physical distance as Zanzibar and Italy – but that wasn’t enough to keep these two couples apart.

‘I had a breast reduction – and fell out of love with my body’

ME, myself, FLY • Solo travel is on the increase – and women are leading the way! Pack your (smaller, lighter) bag and head out there: it will change your life.

What walking 100KM SOLO taught me • I needed to be alone; to shed the frustrations of a demanding life. I wanted to walk my way back to rediscover who I was. So I set off along the Camino...

A healing JOURNEY with RHINOS • In her book Meditating with Rhinos, Helena Kriel relates how working with traumatised baby rhinos set her on a path of personal...
