Innehållsförteckning för Issue 1, 2021 från WHO

Welcome to the first issue of 2021, and it’s a milestone one at that – this is the 1500th issue of WHO! It fills me with great pride to be part of this magazine’s history going into 2021, especially following a very tough year. There is something about a new year that always fills me with hope and excitement. I’m also a big fan of making resolutions – big or small, I think it’s important to aspire to something. I’ve decided to put health and fitness at the forefront and get strong. If that’s one of your goals, too, turn to page 12 for our 10-page summer body special. I’ve also decided to overhaul my wardrobe finally and donate my clothes I no longer wear to charity. The lifestyle team…

After a high-profile split from Tom Cruise in 2012, Katie Holmes kept her next relationship with Jamie Foxx on the down low. Since September 2020, the actress has been less low key about her romance with chef Emilio Vitolo Jnr. The pair were first linked when they were spotted on a date at his restaurant on September 4. They have since been spotted out and about in New York City. For Holmes’ 42nd birthday on December 18, they acknowledged their relationship publicly for the first time. “The most amazing, kindest, beautiful person,”Vitolo, 33, captioned his birthday post, shared by Holmes. “Every time I see your face, it makes me smile. Happy Birthday!!! I love you!!” A source tells WHO’s sister publication People magazine that the pair seem in it for…

While there’s no doubt Simpson has worked hard for her body, her trainer Harley Pasternak says he didn’t want her sweating it out at the gym for hours on end. “My mantra is you get lean in life, and strong in the gym,” he explained to People. “So the majority of the weight loss actually came from everything she did outside of the gym, and then everything in the gym is about toning and tightening.” Combining her three workouts a week with all the other lifestyle habits put in place by Pasternak, the star was allowed the occasional indulgence. “If she has a birthday party one night and a date night another night, she’s going to indulge both of those nights, but that’s it,” he added. “It’s about balancing in…

After 30 years in the business, it makes sense that Jennifer Aniston knows how to keep her body fit and strong. The 51-year-old swears by intermittent fasting, consuming all her meals in an eight-hour window during the day. “I noticed a big difference in going without solid food for 16 hours,” she admits. “Fortunately, your sleeping hours are counted as part of the fasting period. You just have to delay breakfast until 10am.”When she does eat, Aniston favours a nutrient-rich, well-balanced diet full of healthy carbohydrates, protein, leafy greens and bright vegetables. And while Aniston may be a creature of habit – she’d never miss her annual trip to Cabo or the chance to wear a little black dress – and has been a yoga devotee since 2005, the actress…

It’s been three days. Other than Simms, the only person I’ve told about the box is Sarah, the dietitian. I’d knocked on the door to her room between clients, and sat down with her to explain what was in the package and why we needed to take extra precautions from now on. The police came and took the package away as evidence, but I assume if they had any leads from it, I would have heard. Simms told me they would dust for prints and attempt to trace it back to the original sender. Until they have the person who sent it, we have three new rules at the practice. One, I open all packages, no-one else. Two, we never leave each other alone in the office. Which means coffee…

Mindy Kaling has never been accused of being a slouch. The former star of The Office and The Mindy Project has written two memoirs and is now out with a third, Nothing Like I Imagined, a digital collection available on Amazon Original Stories. She also created the acclaimed Netflix series Never Have I Ever and is currently writing for multiple upcoming projects, including Legally Blonde 3 – all while raising daughter Katherine, nicknamed Kit, as a single parent (she has chosen not to reveal the father’s identity). Kaling thought she had multitasking down to a science – and then the pandemic hit. To her surprise, sheltering at home in Los Angeles has allowed the 41-year-old some welcome breathing room along with its challenges. “A lot of the stuff I thought…

Ask any skincare lover for their routine and there’s bound to be an acid in there somewhere. However, knowing what each acid does can be confusing. First and foremost, some products work better for specific skin types than others, and it’s also important to note there are certain skincare ingredients acids shouldn’t be mixed with. To help you navigate through the jargon and get your skin glowing stat, we spoke to Jodie King, director and dermal clinician at Skin Clinic Blyss in Sydney. DOES EVERY SKIN TYPE NEED AN ACID? The short answer? Yes! Acids have the ability to improve a variety of skin types, not just oily skin, so they’re hugely beneficial to the skin’s health – not to mention their glow-inducing properties. “As we age, epidermal cell turnover…

We’re in the heat of summer, which means it’s time to embrace the two Cs: copper and coral.“They do wonders for any complexion or eye colour,”says celebrity makeup artist Michael Brown.“Dab on the centre [of the] eyelid to catch the light.” Warm up your complexion with gilded highlighters dusted over the brow, cheekbones, centre of the nose and Cupid’s bow, then add a coral-tone lipstick for the perfect balmy night glow-up.…

As the new year gets underway, it’s a time of optimism and hope as our lives continue their slow transition back to “normal”. But after a year of lockdowns, Zoom meetings and restricted gatherings, going out and socialising is turning out to be a little more awkward for some of us than expected. IS THIS NORMAL? Dr Jodi Richardson, a leading researcher, educator and the author of Anxious Mums, says it’s totally normal to feel this way. “It’s natural, because our social skills are like any skills that require practice,” she explains. “We don’t realise how skilled we are at it until we take a break,” she adds. “To listen and to formulate a response that’s in keeping with the conversation, we have to get the timing right, to know…

STATEMENT FURNITURE We’ve seen minimalist, Scandi-style interiors make waves over the past several years, and while that’s very much a timeless look, 2021 is about adding in “wow” pieces to make a bigger, more personal statement. “‘Bespoke’ is the buzz word,” says award-winning international interior stylist Anna Giannis (annagiannis.com.au). “More and more people are getting involved in personalising their furniture and creating statement pieces. They are making changes to the structure and adjusting widths and lengths of sofas, arm chairs and dining and coffee tables. By adding a personal touch and a personalised essence, these statement pieces add more love to your home.” LITTLE LUXURIES It really is about the little things in life that make you feel all fuzzy inside.“We’re spending more time at home than ever and need…

TO POP (OR NOT!) A bottle of bubbly is meant to open with a bang, right? Not necessarily. In fact, a huge celebratory “pop” is actually a sign the bottle was opened by an amateur. Experts say a bottle of sparkling opened with skill will make only a very small popping sound, or perhaps none at all. The pop can definitely be fun when with friends in a party atmosphere, but when opened gently and quietly, the wine will have more bubbles and taste better. FUN FACTS • Three out of every four bottles popped in Australia cost between $50 and $100. • The best Australian sparkling wines tend to come from cooler climate regions. • Sparkling wine sales surged in Australia during COVID-19, as consumers treated themselves to affordable luxuries. Birthdays, weddings,…

It’s the sexy dance spectacular that has taken London and Las Vegas by storm, and now it’s Sydney and Melbourne’s turn. Based on Channing Tatum’s hit films, Magic Mike Live is a thrilling high-energy dance and acrobatic extravaganza that promises to be an “unforgettable night”. Conceived and directed by the movie star, 40, his co-director and choreographer Alison Faulk tells WHO the heart-throb is “pretty incredible” to work with. “He is one of the most creative and out-of-the-box thinkers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with,” Faulk says. The 43-year-old former professional dancer also confirmed Tatum is incredibly hands-on. “Chan is extremely involved in not only the creation of the concepts but every aspect, from music and casting to the script,” she explains. “It’s honestly just so much fun!…

“2020, just the gift that keeps on giving” Kelly Clarkson,on “possibly” tearing her ACL while running in heels, on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “I’m waiting for that role where someone says, ‘You need to gain [14kg] … I’ve got a menu already set up in my mind” Kyle Chandler, on hoping to pack on the pounds for work, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “If you told me I was Homeschool Mum of the Spring, I’d be like, ‘Yes!

1 Ariana’s a bride-to-be Congratulations are in order for Ariana Grande, who announced her engagement to beau Dalton Gomez on December 20. “Forever n then some,” the 27-year-old wrote alongside a snap of her new fiancée and her incredible diamond ring on Instagram. 2 Hugh’s generous to boot! Hugh Jackman recently played Santa, giving a $1300 cash Christmas bonus to employees of iconic Aussie boot brand RM Williams. The actor, who is the company’s global ambassador and a former shareholder, reportedly gifted $1.2 million of his own money to all 900 staff members. 3 Gordon’s gal pal Gigi Celeb chef Gordon Ramsay has joked that his daughters only want a bar of him because he’s besties with model Gigi Hadid. The pair met on a TV show in 2016. “They…

Like many engaged couples in 2020, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were left disappointed when the pandemic forced them to cancel their wedding plans. “It was all set for Japan with 150 guests. Katy was actually really excited about walking down the aisle pregnant,” a source close to the couple revealed earlier this year. “They were both so elated that all the wedding details were finally coming together, but they are hitting pause because of coronavirus.” “It’s really all about going with the flow”– PERRY Just a few months later, the singer, 36, admitted that she’d given up attempting to make wedding plans and was instead focusing on the impending arrival of their daughter. “I tried to do it this year, and it poopooed on me, so ask me again…

Like times during their marriage, Roberts and Moder’s relationship had a rocky beginning. The actress endured a “nasty split” with ex Bratt (above), before reportedly trying to speed up Moder’s split from Steimberg by donning the now-famous homemade “A Low Vera” tee (inset) – assumed to be a public message to her lover’s then-wife over her divorce delay tactics. And while many slammed the actress for her “diva-esque” behaviour, Roberts has always maintained she has no regrets. “I stand by my T-shirt,” she later told Oprah Winfrey.…

As an actress and co-founder of athleisure brand Fabletics, it goes without saying that it’s Kate Hudson’s job to keep her body in shape and looking good! But if you check out the 41-year-old’s Instagram, you’ll know that wellness is a big part of her everyday life – even more so after the birth of her third child, Rani Rose, in October 2018. “Unlike with the other two, I didn’t really have time to work out,” the actress told Women’s Health US. “It took a different kind of discipline.” Hudson signed up for Weight Watchers as an ambassador and got back into Pilates. “Nothing, literally nothing, makes me feel like I’m back to my body more than Pilates,” the mum-of-three explains. “I know I’m at my strongest when I’m doing…

Sofia Richie At 22 years old, Sofia Richie has the added bonus of youth and a great metabolism to keep her looking trim and taut. But that’s not to say the model doesn’t invest the time and energy to keep herself healthy. “Sofia works hard at keeping her amazing body in shape,” an insider explains. “Even when she’s on vacation, she squeezes in a couple of sessions at the gym.”The star also loves dance-based workouts, which she kept up with online during the pandemic. Eva Longoria While some stars are loyal to a specific workout, Eva Longoria, 45, insists variety is the key to staying fit. “I do a lot. I’m a runner, I do yoga, I do Pilates, I do SoulCycle and I’m just constantly mixing it up,” the…

After enduring a testing and tumultuous year, Kim Kardashian has been dedicating herself to keeping her six-year marriage to Kanye West going – for better or worse. The pair, who appeared to be on the brink of divorce on the heels of West’s controversial United States 2020 presidential bid amid a bipolar episode, are still together but have certainly grown apart. “They very much live separate lives,” a source tells WHO’s sister publication People magazine. “Kim has work and projects that are important to her, and Kanye has his. Their lives don’t overlap much.” Since West’s political hopes were dashed in November, the rapper has mostly laid low, in public life and on social media, spending time on the family’s ranch in Wyoming working on music as well as on…

Comedy gold “I can’t go a day without someone tagging me in a Kelly Kapoor meme,” Kaling (with co-star Novak in 2011) says of her work on the beloved series The Office. Taking charge Kaling (with guest star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 2015) followed up her Office role by creating The Mindy Project, which she wrote, produced and starred in. Writer’s world “I made it because I thought I would like to watch it,” Kaling (with co-creator Lang Fisher) says of Never Have I Ever.…

PROTECT YOUR STRANDS So we’ve got sunscreen sorted, but now our hair needs protection, too! Fair and fine hair is particularly vulnerable, as there’s less of it to cover the scalp, making it easier for the skin to burn and dry out, and for your strands to become dull – not to mention extreme colour fade if you have colour-treated hair. We’re not about to state the obvious by suggesting you wear a hat, we’re talking about slapping on a protective veil, much like sunscreen, to coat your hair pre-sun and swim and shield it from any UV damage. Pack a wide-tooth comb, so you can detangle after your salty dip, then spritz a moisturising leave-in conditioner all over so your beachy waves dry defined and hydrated rather than frizzy…

BOTTOMS UP Is it just us or did you also never quite get on the teeny-tiny swim brief bandwagon? We’re all about keeping some things a mystery and we think the rest of the fashion clan is, too, with lots of high-waisted styles hitting our stores this summer. From full-coverage to cheeky, these higher styles are elegant and flattering for any body shape. SHOULDER CHIC The ribbed tank sparked our interest at the beginning of 2020 after many celebs, like Elsa Hosk, sported them with wide-legged trousers and looked effortlessly cool. But now, it’s something we’ve worn enough and it’s time to mix it up with some ’80s flair. Enter the padded muscle tank, which you may have seen this year. We think it’ll take off in 2021 when everyone…

NOURISHING EARTH TONES “Nature-inspired colours reconnect us with the outdoors. Terracotta tones, such as Brandy Snap, continue to be loved, as they’re timeless and natural. Greens of 2021 are olive in tone.” UPLIFTING LIGHTS “Pastels are traditionally associated with calm. Wattyl’s gentle pastels add warmth to minimalist spaces, especially when paired with natural silks, organic cottons and soft wools.” HUMBLE WHITES “Minimalism continues to reign supreme, but it’s less pristine, with personality and emotion introduced into the mix. Comforting hues and natural materials, such as timber, are key to the look.”Visit wattyl.com.au for more.…

ARIES MAR. 20–APR. 18 Sometimes you’re accused of behaving like a toddler. No offence! It’s because you’re the first sign. This also accounts for your get-up-and-go and sometimes even child-like innocence. However, what are toddlers also famous for? Tantrums! Go easy this week. You could be getting hot under the collar. TAURUS APR. 19–MAY 20 It’s possible you’re feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by now. Maybe there’s too much Christmas cheer, maybe 2020 has been just too much for you. Aim to breathe through upsets. At work, a new two-year cycle, which could see you become the boss, is beginning. Look to what’s next to put this crazy year behind you. GEMINI MAY 21–JUN. 20 This week, think about money from a different perspective. Instead of worrying about what you don’t…

Last thing I learned about myself That there are times I actually love housework. It makes me feel grounded. No-one is more shocked than I am. Last date night Every single morning, Julius [her husband] and I get in the jacuzzi and every night we get in the tub together. And we soak and talk and I give him facials. Sometimes he falls asleep with his mouth open; he’s really sweet. Last time my daughter made me laugh Genesis [her 10-year-old] feels like I don’t have enough fun. She says, “Mummy, sometimes I don’t want to be deep, I just want to laugh.” So she’ll tickle me. She did that the other day – just to get me out of myself. Last thing I took from a set A painting…

With little Daisy Dove in tow, life is certainly different for Perry and Bloom. The singer returned to work on American Idol less than two months after welcoming their daughter, with Bloom taking some time off from acting to be a stay-at-home dad.“Orlando has made Daisy his priority and slashed a lot of his work time to stay home,” a source said of the star. “He is super-involved.” While Perry found the adjustment hard at first, the singer shared that she felt relieved knowing Daisy was in capable hands. “Daddy’s doing a great job,” she joked after a few days back on set.“Daddy has stepped in. I’ve seen him with the bottle, I’ve seen all the pictures. It’s all good.”…

If you take a look at Jennifer Lopez’s résumé, you’ll know the singer, dancer, actress and businesswoman doesn’t do anything by halves. And the same can be said for her approach towards health and fitness. The 51-year-old doesn’t smoke, have caffeine and rarely drinks alcohol. “That really wrecks your skin as you get older,” the mum-of-two explains. She also gets at least eight hours shut-eye and rarely skips a workout. “Sometimes, I work too late the night before, and I’m like, ‘Ugh, I can’t do this.’ But I tell myself, ‘Just do it. It’s only an hour,’” she reveals. “It’s just talking yourself off the ledge of being a lazy bum.”Working out three to four times a week, Lopez focuses on three main areas – biceps, back and booty –…

Lockdowns, the closure of gyms and the stress of uncertainty has seen many people put their health and fitness on the backburner in recent times. But if the horror that was 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that your health should always be a top priority! So as we move into 2021, it’s important to start putting yourself first. Whether it’s finding an outdoor activity you enjoy, sorting through the many online classes you can do in the comfort of your home or visiting one of the new holistic hubs that have started popping up across Oz, there’s plenty of ways to get back on track. Here, WHO and some of your favourite celebs have got the lowdown on what to try … GET OUTDOORS! If the thought of returning…

If you’ve never been in a situation like this before, you just can’t understand it. I’ll be blunt. It was absolutely terrifying. The nightmare started just like that. Bang. I literally woke with a start, and realised that I was being flung around in complete darkness in a suffocating confined space. I tried to open my eyes but couldn’t. Then tried to open my mouth. I couldn’t do that either. I was utterly disorientated, with an intense throbbing pain between my eyes. For another confused few seconds I couldn’t compute what was going on. My first thought was that I was in some incredibly vivid dream, where I could actually experience pain and discomfort. Then, as my head banged against something metal and hollow, and the artificial sound of an…

“When I read to Kit, I can’t be distracted for a moment, or talk to anyone else who might be there, or she will loudly yell‘NOTALKING!’and glare at me. My assignment is not to read the book, but to perform it as a charismatic professional voice actor, doing multiple characters and voices and, of course, sound effects. While I’m expected to be 1990s Jim Carrey at 7.02am, a lot of the time she doesn’t even give me good material. Sometimes Kit will simply grab a restaurant takeout menu and plop it in my lap and say,‘Read it!’And then I must read the menu in an entertaining way.Tom Kah Soup! PadThai with Chicken or Shrimp! Pad See Ew! Papaya Salad!This is how I start each morning.“…

For her debut novel When The Apricots Bloom, Gina Wilkinson draws on her real-life experience of living in Iraq during Saddam Hussein’s reign. The book tells the story of three women living under the repressive dictator. Huda, a secretary at the Australian embassy has been ordered by the secret police to spy on Ally, the deputy ambassador’s wife. Then there’s Huda’s artist friend Rania, who is just trying to keep her child safe. ”The plot is fiction, but some details come from reality,” she tells WHO. “In 2002, I moved to Baghdad. I was soon befriended by a local woman who I later  discovered was an informant for Iraq’s secret police, reporting back on my every move,” she explains, adding that the fake friendship inspired her novel. “I don’t blame…
