Being a beach lover, I’m a happy girl because finally the days are getting shorter and there is light at the end of the tunnel… warmer weather is on its way.

While I welcome this, it usually sends me into a spin about the extra few kilos I’ve added over winter and I regret all those mornings I hit the snooze button because it was just too chilly to get out of bed to train. So now is the perfect time to start eating more healthily and starting those long walks to get into shape for summer.

On page 110 we have a feature that outlines the benefits of decreasing sugar in our diets – not just to look good but also for the accompanying health benefits. Health bene ts are not only physical, so turn to page 54 for some tips on how to improve our mental health and wellbeing. We also have an article on intermittent fasting (page 84), which has now been shown to be an effective way to both lose weight and to keep it off. If we start now, we should be bikini-ready by summer.
Yeah, right…

We also have a special feature on breast enhancement surgery on page 98. While this is a comprehensive guide to all the important things you need to know, it is still imperative to do thorough research and to consult at least two surgeons before making any decisions. We also have a fun article showcasing different celebrities who may – or may not – have had breast augmentation. You decide!

Our article on 24 hour makeup on page 26 highlights some of the best products for a long lasting finish, and the Back to Base story on page 42 explains the different types of foundations and some of our faves from each group.

We have all suffered from a bad hair day, so our article on Bad Hair Day Hacks (page 90) is a must-read – who knew there were so many fab products out there to help us through? Our Born to be Wild article (page 32) features some products that are not only effective but also have the looks – the jungle and animal print wild theming we all love.

If you’ve ever wondered what ‘sex appeal’ actually is, turn to page 36 to read our article that outlines the actual science behind physical attraction and ‘animal magnetism’, with input from many experts including researchers, scientists and an evolutionary anthropologist.

This issue gives us all plenty of impetus to start looking and feeling our best – now we just have to stop making excuses and do it.
