Melania Edwards, the San Francisco-based banker, who last week revealed she gets up at 5.30am to ‘meditate, check in with friends and family in different time zones, play tennis’. Mark Wahlberg, the actor, who wakes at 2.30am, prays, works out, breakfasts, plays golf, and hits his own personal cryo recovery chamber, all before 9.30am. And obviously: me . Like all v productive, v efficient, v accomplished professionals, I’ve got an EMR. I’ll tell you about it if you promise you won’t rip the kershizzle out of me online (though if you do , I’ll know it’s because you’re what Melania Edwards described as ‘judgemental and jealous’ of my extraordinary discipline). 5.35am: Like Melania Edwards, I awake! Unlike Melania, it’s because my boyfriend is violently emptying the dishwasher, because I didn’t…

It’s not only Radio 2 that is attempting to woo a younger audience. Last week Radio 4’s flagship current affairs programme, Today, launched a daily podcast, Beyond Today, which every weekday will answer the one big question of the big story of the day. One in nine Britons already listen to Today each week – but their average age is 56. Beyond Today, which has a production team largely made up of female journalists under the age of 30, is hoping to tap into the fact that even though younger audiences are listening to more audio than ever before, it’s not necessarily via live radio. As the podcast’s co-presenter, 37-year-old Tina Daheley (below), says, ‘Anyone who has been paying attention knows podcasts are hugely popular with under-35s, and if you’re…

PICKING UP THE PHONE to call my dad, I felt sick. I’d just been hit with a £300 bill for my car’s MOT and, with over a week to go until I was paid, there was no way I could afford it myself. With no credit card and already into my overdraft, I had no choice but to turn to my parents yet again for a handout. I knew Dad would agree – he’s always reassured me that if I need help, he and Mum are there for me. But that doesn’t make it any less demoralising to be 30, earning what many people would think is a decent salary, and still being bailed out. I wish I could say this was a one-off, but the truth is rarely a…

As A nutritionist, I come across a lot of confusion about how to eat ‘mindfully’. I focus on reconnecting people with food and motivating them to get in the kitchen. Most of us are tired and time-poor – we think we don’t have time to cook. We’ve forgotten that the more nutritious the food we eat, the better we will feel. Food is one of the most powerful tools we have for feeling well and keeping healthy. It’s our fuel, it’s our medicine and it can bring joy. It’s something I realised when modelling, when I was travelling a lot, drinking a lot and not always eating well. While the food on shoots was healthy – I discovered quinoa on a shoot in New York – there was also champagne…

Middle England Jonathan Coe (£16.99, VIKING) So Brexit has been kicking around long enough for it to have its first proper state-of-the-nation novel. Thankfully, it’s from the author of What A Carve Up! and it’s every bit as good as we might hope. Taking several characters of different ages and social and political persuasions – including a few familiar from his earlier novels, such as The Rotters’ Club – it looks at their lives since the 2010 election and how they’ve responded. It will churn up all your political angst again, but Coe is as funny and tender as ever.…

IN THE FIRST five minutes of the second season of Clique we have run the full gamut of millennial watchwords: triggering, no-platforming, safe spaces, problematic micro-aggressions. We are in one of the grand baroque lecture theatres of Edinburgh University. If we needed any more signposting that Jess Britain’s formidable drama, told in the vernacular of its generation, has come to pick over the carcass of Generation Snowflake, actual paper flakes descend from the ceiling to visible panic among the students. A boy band composite of five hench undergraduates behind the prank are backlit peacocking through the hallowed academic quadrangles. If the Clique of season one was all about mean girls capitalising on the impressionable, competitive dynamic of female friendships, season two has arrived to take its own equally special pickaxe…

Thank goodness the Government is finally taking mental health seriously. Mental health services received a £2bn increase in the Budget last week, with the aim of giving them parity, in terms of spending, with physical health. This will pay for mental health ambulances, a 24-hour crisis hotline and mental health support in every major A&E. This came in the week it was announced that one in 10 patients has had depression diagnosed – and that it has overtaken obesity as the most common health issue. But while people in serious need must be the top priority, we mustn’t forget about prevention and early intervention. Next time, let’s not wait until the country reaches crisis point.…

WHAT SHOULD HAVE been one of the most exciting times in the career of Michael Halpern was last week shrouded in controversy. Two weeks before the much-anticipated launch of the Topshop x Michael Halpern collection, the company’s owner, Arcadia boss Sir Philip Green, was named as the businessman at the centre of claims of sexual harassment and racial abuse against staff and the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to silence complainants. Sir Philip was forced to publicly deny the accusations after Labour peer Lord Peter Hain used parliamentary privilege to reveal that Sir Philip was the businessman behind a high court injunction preventing The Daily Telegraph from reporting details of NDAs with employees. Following the revelation, in the days before the Halpern collection hit stores, it was revealed that the…

IT’S AN A-LIST encounter so colossal that it could be a scene straight out of Ryan Murphy’s award-winning BBC Two series Feud: Bette And Joan. According to LA-based insiders, Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes – who are both as famous for their marriages to Tom Cruise as their careers on screen – are quietly talking about working together on a Hollywood production. ‘Katie and Nicole have exchanged messages via their agents,’ said a source. ‘But out of respect to Tom it’s been kept private. Obviously, they share common ground, and feel it’s finally time for them to be able to work on something together. There have been covert communications.’ Katie has also apparently reached out to Nicole for advice on how to rebuild her career, which has largely flatlined after…

WHEN GILLIAN FLYNN released Gone Girl six years ago, it wasn’t just the plotline – compelling, disturbing and unpredictable as it was – that led to two million people buying it in its first year alone. It was the woman at the centre of the twists and turns who had us all enthralled. Amy Elliott-Dunne – later played by Rosamund Pike after Gillian sold the rights to the film for $1.5 million and wrote the screenplay – was beautiful, manipulative and really quite sociopathic. Gillian has routinely been described as a ‘misogynist’ for daring to show a woman so far from perfection, claims that were repeated earlier this year when her debut book, Sharp Objects, was transformed into an eight-part TV series. The main character Camille was equally difficult to…

WHEN ASKED ABOUT role models, Stella Maxwell immediately references Angelina Jolie in the 1998 biographical HBO film Gia. In it, Angelina plays real-life supermodel Gia Carangi, who was outspoken about her bisexuality in 1970s New York during the AIDS epidemic – and it was the film that catapulted Angelina into the Hollywood stratosphere. It’s perhaps fitting that the Belgian born, Northern Irish model would be inspired by such a woman. While Stella – who has modelled for clients as diverse as Versace and Victoria’s Secret and has four million Instagram followers to boot – has never publicly commented on her sexuality, she has been dating Twilight star Kristen Stewart for the past two years. Before that, she dated Miley Cyrus. But like Gia, Stella is a female model in the…

TEMPERLEY TEMPERLEY NEVER BEFORE HAS there been a more aggressive stake made for beauty’s crown than that of the highlight. Across the autumn/winter catwalks, from Temperley to Chanel, faces gleamed with the kind of hyper-real, mega-watt glow usually reserved for those who’ve spent a week detoxing at a far-flung retreat. With a 904% increase in #glow across social media in the last 12 months* , radiance is make-up’s biggest buzzword, with 89% of Grazia readers agreeing that looking ‘healthy’ is far more important than looking ‘made up’. And where consumer interest goes, clever marketeers follow: 43% of make-up products and 45% of skincare launched in the last two years have ‘glow’ in the name** . But we’re not talking Insta-glam shine. This is pure J-Lo: a smattering of universally flattering,…

1. Pay attention People often don’t recognise a sensitivity because they’re not engaged with how what they eat makes them feel. Eat mindfully and you’ll understand what nutrients make you feel energised or bloated. 2. rest and digest It’s important to sit while you eat. Eating on the run stimulates the flight-or-fight response – so your body won’t digest food effectively. 3. Chew! Chewing releases saliva, containing digestive enzymes, and helps the stomach metabolise food more easily. Most people chew their food just seven times – double it. 4. Watch your plate Over half of it should be vegetables, and I don’t mean roast potatoes! A quarter should be complex carbs, eg, wholegrains and rice; and a quarter protein – chicken, meat, fish or good quality tofu, nuts and seeds.…

Capital John Lanchester (£8.99, FABER & FABER) Set in 2008, in the months following the global financial crash, Capital takes one street in South-west London and looks at the lives of its citizens. The clever structure, combined with old-fashioned storytelling, takes a look at London at large, and what the crash meant to the city. Hugely satisfying. In A House Of Lies Ian Rankin (£20, ORION) Rebus is back, and working on a case at the heart of the Edinburgh establishment. A Rankin novel is a great crime read, but what elevates his work is that he has also written a fascinating social history of Scotland. This is a rewarding experience just as much as a page-turning pleasure. Marriage Material Sathnam Sanghera (£9.99, WINDMILL) Arjan Banga moved to London as…

DIVIDED BRITAIN? I was fascinated to read ‘Being from the North still holds me back’ (29 Oct). I also worked in London and found myself trying to hide my broad Lancashire accent. I work in fashion as a visual merchandising director and now live in China. I often travel to London on business and the mentality has not changed. When I jump in a taxi the drivers hear my Northern accent and often tell me how they’d never go past Hertfordshire because it’s a waste of time with nothing interesting there. Many people from the South still feel the North has nothing to offer and mock Northerners as being lower class. But the North has beautiful cities and countryside; this prejudice saddens me. Aisha…

By Jennie Bond, former BBC royal correspondent Not since the ’80s, when the public was fascinated by the arrival of Princess Diana, has there been such a consuming interest in the royal family’s every move. The reason? William and Harry and their wives have brought a renewed glamour to the monarchy – and an openness that we’ve rarely seen. Prince Harry, in particular, has spoken candidly about the importance of acknowledging mental health problems. It’s a live topic among so many young people today, and by admitting that he’s faced his own struggles, Harry is making a real difference. Some people question what purpose the royal family serve – and Diana certainly believed that to stay relevant and meaningful, the monarchy needed to make itself less aloof. She connected with…

RADIO 2 – THE UK’S most popular radio station, with 15m listeners – has remembered that women have voices (and ears) too, and appointed Zoë Ball and Sara Cox to host its breakfast and drivetime weekday shows. Last week, Radio 2’s head of content commissioning said they were thrilled to be welcoming them both. ‘So what?’ you may think. These are two great broadcasters, who have proved their talent on both TV and radio: of course, they should be hosting such prestigious programmes. Well, yes. Except that for the past 20 years, Radio 2 somehow couldn’t find room for any female broadcaster during weekday daylight hours. From 1998 until May of this year, there wasn’t a woman in the host role between 6.30am and 7pm, Monday to Friday. It has…

As one of the co-founders of The Hotbed podcast, I was delighted when Labour MP Jess Phillips agreed to support our campaign to close the ‘orgasm gap’, a term that refers to the disparity of orgasms between men and women. The Hotbed recently launched a survey to chart women’s experiences of orgasms following research by the Kinsey Institute that discovered only 65% of heterosexual women, 66% of bisexual women and 86% of lesbians ‘usually or always’ orgasm during sex. Considering that those figures compare with 95% of heterosexual men, we thought they seemed unfair. The MP for Birmingham Yardley agrees, saying it’s vital we talk about female pleasure more, not just among our friends but with our partners, too. ‘We should be telling girls about orgasms during sex education,’ she…

WHEN YOU’RE TRYING – and failing – to conceive, there’s great comfort in having someone in your life, apart from your partner, who knows what you’re going through. Who understands the rituals you develop as, month after month, you wait for the results of a pregnancy test. If I stand here staring at it, I won’t be pregnant. If I go downstairs and casually make a coffee, I definitely will be. If I’m pregnant now, the baby will be born in June. I’ve always wanted a summer baby! Then there’s always that sharp slap of disappointment when it’s negative, again, and the voice in your head says: ‘I’d be really happy to have a baby at any time of year, just please let it happen.’ So it was that, four…

CHRISSY TEIGEN – aka the queen of social media – hit back at a Twitter troll last week who claimed she looked ‘frankly awful’ in her US Glamour cover landionserum . ‘Thank you hicia , Heidi. In the future I willcus try alita harder sitam to be the best cover model lam ,’ Chrissy ex laboratis wrote in reply. ‘If you could please doluptae send . me specific tips and tricks (or past covers you’ve shot for reference!) that would be awesome.’ Taking Twitter trolls down aside, it’s not the first time the model has been witty on social media. Top moments include her musing about chicken pot pies, or the time she announced she was tired of people sending her pictures of ‘the worst penises’. She also often mocks…
