NEXT January 2019의 목차

Here comes the sun Jump off the wharf at Pauanui. Catch a wave on my paddleboard. Spend time with my old high school friends. Untangle the fishing lines and take the kids to the wharf. Have a MasterChef-style cook-off with my eight-year-old. Try not to wear the same shorts and T-shirt combo in every holiday snap. That’s my holiday bucket list. And although I’m writing this in the throes of pre-Christmas deadlines, I feel immediately happier just writing about the potential of summer. Welcome to our January issue; the one we most enjoy putting together because when you are reading this we will all – hopefully – be doing more of those things that make us feel happy. As you can see from my bucket list, I like to undo…

Sleep better. Eat well. Move more. Join a book club. Sure, that last one doesn’t feature on the list of most popular New Year’s resolutions but I reckon if you whack it onto your list of ways to improve your wellbeing in 2019, you won’t regret it. Hi, my name’s Debbie and I’m a Book Clubber. I know what you’re thinking – a bunch of bored housewives wearing serious clothing in muted tones, furiously debating the difference between commas and Oxford commas, and waxing lyrical about Hemingway’s foresight. Maybe some book clubs are like this – and keep rocking that, if that’s you and you love it – but our vibe is less literature and more ladies’ lunch. Think 12 women, prodigious food platters, bottles of bubbly and sparkling water,…

There’s nothing more heart-warming than opening a box to find a gorgeous piece of jewellery shining up at you, thoughtfully picked out by someone close to you. Jewellery is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give to your nearest and dearest, and whether it’s gold or silver, diamonds or coloured stones, there’s no better way to show someone you care all year round.

Young or old, family, friend or your significant other, the perfect piece is out there and the Michael Hill team is there to lend a hand and help you find it. Here are our tips for selecting the…

HAIR Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Color Freeze Silver Shampoo, and an industrial strength frizz serum. Right now, I’m using Tigi’s Rockaholic Rock Out Shine Blaster. They make me feel like I’m making an effort as I rarely choose to spend time on my hair. SKINCARE Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer; I love how it feels on my skin. TV SHOW Any historical drama or perhaps a documentary, for instance something by David Starkey or Lucy Worsley (pictured). It’s all about fashion, politics and human interaction for me. FLOWER The humble carnation. The scent is heavenly to me and my signature scent used to be Malmaison by Floris. Sadly, it was discontinued after a brief “modernising”, which was not a patch on the original formula created in the 1800s. Oscar Wilde wore it.…

Q: How do I pick the best pair of headphones? A: Some headphones are designed for a specific purpose, but I’d suggest to futureproof yourself and look at Bluetooth headphones – headphone jacks have disappeared on smartphones recently. But there are other features to consider, like noise cancelling, microphone included for ease of making phone calls and, of course, the style of the headphone. In-ear or over-ear is really up to personal preference and it’s important to think about how you’ll be using the headphones day-to-day. Will you be using them on public transport, for running, gaming, watching movies, or in the office? Come and talk to the experts at any Noel Leeming store nationwide and we can help you pick the right headphones for your needs, plus we’ll even…

In the beauty world, the word natural has become an overused term – so much so that it’s becoming increasingly obvious how unnatural some products claiming to be truly are. As consumers, how are we able to tell them apart and what makes a brand like Tailor stand out? Tailor Skincare founder Sara Quilter answers some of the questions around the term natural and explains what the latest buzzword “greenwashing” means. When it comes to natural skincare, the term greenwashing is used a lot – what’s your take on this? Greenwashing is the practice of making an unsubstantiated or misleading claim about the environmental benefits of a product, service, and technology or company policy. When applied to skincare this also includes claims about a product being natural or organic. A…

‘WE REALLY WANTED TO BRING WOMEN SOMETHING THAT IS JUST WAY, WAY MORE CONVENIENT AND FITS INTO THEIR LIFE’ Imagine this: you’re struggling to get pregnant but instead of peeing on a stick or taking your temperature at exactly the same time every day, you slip on a bracelet before you go to bed. While you sleep, its sensors measure key physiological areas to figure out your fertile window. Or this: You’re one of the 17% of New Zealand women affected by incontinence – perhaps you’ve recently had a baby or gone through menopause – but you’re not sure how to perform pelvic floor exercises or whether you’re squeezing the right spot. You insert a small gadget in much the same way as a tampon. It’s linked to an app…

It was many little things, combined, that made me feel different. I was too fragile, too dramatic, too much. I was physically timid, hated sport, fearful, but also emotionally excessive. I found a lot of day-to-day life – things other people seemed to find easy – overwhelming. I could not bear school camps, injustice, suffering. And being different made me feel like a misfit. I developed a persistent feeling of being not good enough – that I was somehow disgusting, ugly, stupid and flawed. My internal monologue: Nothing I do is good enough, there is something fundamentally wrong with me, I am bad and toxic. Feeling unseen and misunderstood, I was “mirror hungry”, looking for explanations for the way I am and how to fix myself, to become more normal.…

Hilary Barry is glowing, and it doesn’t take long to find out why. “I’ve just been doing Michael Bublé!” Excuse me? “Well, I did him a while ago, it’s a good story, actually.” We’re sitting in the ground floor café of TVNZ’s central Auckland offices; I press record on my iPhone and settle in. “I flew 12 hours to LA, straight from Seven Sharp to the airport. Slept sitting up so I didn’t ruin my hair, and did my makeup on the plane. Got off the plane, changed in the toilets and interviewed him an hour later, then turned around and flew home again.” She takes a sip of berry smoothie. “Did my own makeup on the plane!” she repeats. If your days are dedicated to ground-breaking climate change research…

Your relationship with yourself and the way you speak to yourself is important Be kinder to yourself JESS BLAIR IS A NATUROPATH AND NUTRITIONIST ( WELLNESSBYBLAIR.COM ) 1. GET ENOUGH SLEEP Prioritise sleep. I think we tend to skimp on our sleep in times of stress – it’s the one thing we ‘lose’ during busier periods. Eight to 10 hours a night is ideal – aim for this most nights. 2. REFOCUS YOUR GOALS Instead of focusing on a weight-loss goal, focus on a health goal. The weight will follow. By allowing ourselves to have a health goal, we’re more likely to succeed. 3. START OFF RIGHT Eat a breakfast full of protein and good fats. This sets your day up well and stabilises your blood sugar, which…

Nestled in the bush, the house is surrounded by bird life The tiny house trend has taken off in recent years, and there are now little homes popping up all over New Zealand, alongside many others making the shift towards a more minimal lifestyle. For graphic designer Kate van den Bergh and architect Willem, their place on Waiheke Island is a dream come true. When they realised as newlyweds that buying a home in Auckland was out of their price range, the couple began brainstorming other options to get out of the rent trap and own a place of their own. Kate was working for a magazine focused on sustainability and green living at the time, and a feature on a $21,000 tiny abode sparked her interest. This was around…

Rebecca Richmond Maximalism is an exciting new trend taking you away from all those restrained design ideas and giving you an opportunity to go a little wild We’re now starting to see a move away from minimalism and the classic Scandinavian-type styling. Maximalism is for those who truly love unique and full interiors. It’s about using colour, fabrics, wall coverings, and beautiful homewares all layered in one glorious space. How to make it work: Use your walls as a canvas, covering them in rich colours like maroon, navy or emerald. Next add interest to one or more of your walls with wallpaper that has a hint of your colour. Hang up a beautiful big piece of modern art, or create a gallery with a collection of similar smaller pieces. Cover…

INNOVATION WINNER NZ Super Fund This award celebrates innovative responses to addressing the equal pay gap. Mika Austin, General Manager Human Resources said the organisation is thrilled to be recognised for its work on pay equality. “NZ Super Fund is leading by example to create a workplace where women and men are paid equally and fairly for their work. But really, we want to reach the point where this type of initiative is not seen as innovative, but rather as standard practice, where pay equality is ingrained within all organisations.” COMMUNITY WINNER Auckland Museum The Community Award acknowledges that profit-for-purpose or not-for-profit organisations have unique pay challenges compared to the private sector. Catherine Smith, Auckland Museum’s Director of People and Organisation says, “At Auckland Museum we want to be relevant…

My favourite day of the week is… Friday, because that’s when my boy [Philli, 14] finishes school for the week and we can plan and do fun things. If I were a billionaire, I would… Continue to try to help build up and ignite the spirits of people, and I’d begin to help save animals too, on a huge, grand scale. My favourite quote or poem is… I have so many, but my current is: “I forgive myself for wanting what never wanted me. Today I let you go.” My most embarrassing moment was… When I listened to people who were actually criticising me from a negative space of envy or fear, or pretending to support me and care for me. MY PICKS If I could raid one wardrobe, it…

Dame Trelise Cooper Fashion designer “From the early 1980s, I’ve lived by the philosophy that ‘everything happens for my highest good’. Tragedies, disasters, grief, sorrow, heartbreak, dreams that don’t come to fruition… it’s taking you on a path. Hold onto that in the moment of your deepest despair. If it’s something that’s broken your heart, consider how that break is allowing the light in. Breaking open can mean breaking through. When bad things happen, they send you on a new journey – somewhere you’d never have gone otherwise. It doesn’t take away the sadness – the feelings of loss, the grieving, that still happens. The human emotion still happens. But out of your sadness, you’ll become stronger. It’s all about attitude. ’See the good that has come out of bad…

Brimming with bright, bubbly energy, Louise Clark is the sort of person who lights up a room, but it wasn’t always this way. For many mothers, the birth of a child is an exciting time of joy, love and connection. For Louise, it was a time of darkness. After a rollercoaster ride with fertility treatment she was elated to hear the news of her pregnancy, yet when her daughter Billie was born in 2009, Louise was hit with postnatal depression. She struggled to feel a connection with her baby girl, and when she so deeply wanted to feel a sense of love and joy, she instead felt empty and suffocated. “It was a really frightening time, probably the scariest time in my life. I’ve never had anything like that before.…

“Consider every opportunity that comes your way, and don’t wait until you can tick every box before you put your hand up. Invest in yourself – whether that’s further education and training, your health and wellbeing, whatever is important to you. Be courageous. Be compassionate. Be empowered. Be you. Enjoy what you do. And if you can’t be or do those things, ask yourself whether where you are is right for you.” – Ziena Jalil, partner at communications and public relations consultancy SenateSHJ “Make sure the values and culture of the organisation you work for align with your values and purpose. We are at our most powerful, our best selves, when our everyday actions align with our values. Our personal relationships benefit too – and when we are genuinely happy,…

EVERYDAY ENERGY Turmeric is a spice that has been used in Ayurvedic healing elixirs for centuries. Curcumin and curcuminoid are the active parts of the turmeric root and where the antioxidant magic happens – and studies have shown that curcurmin may support heart health as much as moderate aerobic exercise. Recently launched Red Seal Turmeric contains equivalent to 175mg of curcuminoids for everyday health and wellbeing. $16; redseal.co.nz WEIGH IN Hopping on the scale on a regular basis may be the key to losing weight. American Researchers examined the patterns of 1042 adults over 12 months and found that those who never weighed themselves or only did this on a weekly basis didn’t lose weight in the following year. Those that looked at the scale six to seven times a…

POWERFUL Southern Discomfort Tena Clark Simon & Schuster, $35 Award-winning songwriter Tena grew up in Mississippi in the 50s and as you might expect, bigotry takes centre stage in this memoir that’s been compared to The Help. Tena is raised by her black nanny who treats her with love, despite not being allowed to eat from the Clark family’s crockery. VERDICT Heart-warming, horrifying and humorous. GRUESOME Dr Death The true story of neurosurgeon Dr Christopher Duntsch – big on ego, short on skills. The doctor’s narcissism led to the deaths of two patients and the paralysis of several more. There’s more than a dollop of gore. Blood flows. One patient is “essentially decapitated”. It also raises questions about the way many institutions fiercely guard their own interests rather than protect…

I’ve always yearned to be a morning person, someone who jumps out of bed with clear bright eyes, glossy hair and endless enthusiasm for the next daily lesson from the School of Life. But yearning doesn’t often turn into reality. And my reality is this. Wildly matted hair (I ignored the good advice from my favourite hairdresser back in my early 20s – “Always sleep on a silk pillowcase, Sarah!” – and it all seems way too late now). Eyes that feel as if someone’s attacked them with a glue stick. And the knowledge that it’ll take something like an electric cattle prod to get me to speak before midday. Today, I’m pulled from the soggy depths by an ominous pounding reverberating through my pillow. Berlin is in a permanent…

When my daughter Sophia was around three or four and we were the best friends in the whole world, we went to the park one day. Larking about, playing make believe (there would’ve been a princess called Sophia in there somewhere to be sure) an old lady came up to us and tearfully said, “Make the most of these years, you won’t get them back.” It was lost on me, as any wisdom not learnt by painful experience invariably is. I was probably too busy worrying about an exam, a bill or some ridiculous drama that would mean nothing at all in five years’ time. I get that woman now, I know why she rushed up to me, a complete stranger. Because my baby got on a plane this week,…
