I first met Miranda at a work event — she was giving me a facial and made a comment about how tight my neck was
and spend a lot of time with my osteopath — I could tell she knew what she was talking about
She invited me into her space for a proper treatment and it was probably the best remedial massage I've ever had — the kind that is deeply intuitive
An expert in self-care and movement
I asked her to share her background with 'RUSSH' and her best advice for DIY massage at home (essential skills for those of us who hold tension in our jaw
It’s not just about looks but how we feel in our own skin
I see beauty in the way people nurture their bodies
I think it's about listening to what your body and mind need; not just ticking off face masks and baths (although those are great too). It’s taking time to rest, move or do breath work when life gets overwhelming. I see self-care as the small
consistent choices that keep us feeling like ourselves
my friends would always ask me for a back massage while we watched movies during a sleep over
She was always asking for a back massage after a long day in the garden
I guess I’ve always enjoyed helping people feel better — it feels natural to me
I started my journey into massage while working at a Physiotherapy clinic for five years
Watching people recover from injuries and regain their strength was incredibly inspiring
I got to see firsthand how manual therapy and prescribed exercises could transform someone’s life
I realised I wanted to be part of the process
and help people feel better in their bodies
Stress — something we all deal with (myself included)
We tend to hold a lot of tension in our shoulders and neck without even realising it
Our bodies are hardwired to tense up as a self-defence mechanism when we’re stressed
Slouching or staring at a screen for hours can cause the muscles in our shoulders and neck to stay tight
It's interesting that with ongoing treatment
so many of my patients improve not just physically
My technique is all about finding the root cause of the problem
It’s not just about releasing tension—it’s about understanding why it’s there in the first place
we can stop tension from turning into a chronic issue
I use a deep tissue massage balm from New Zealand. It contains Emu oil, which has anti-inflammatory properties that help with muscle recovery, reduce inflammation and improve circulation. I also use sweet almond oil for the face because it's rich vitamin E to nourish the skin. It also provides a smooth glide. For hair and scalp, I love Aiya hair oil
It's 100% organic and packed with essential oils like lavender and rosemary to support hair growth while also calming the nervous system
The first thing I do is drink a big glass of water
your body is naturally dehydrated — rehydrating first thing helps to kickstart digestion
Then I splash my face with cold water (a mini shock to the system, in a good way). It wakes me up and helps to reduce puffiness. I follow up with Cetaphil face wash and Cetaphil moisturiser
But I always take time to massage it in using upward motions — this helps support circulation
skin elasticity and gives me a little glow for the day ahead
I’m not a skincare guru in the slightest but this routine works for me
I like a tinted moisturiser from Ilia for a bit of coverage
maybe a little bit of mascara to brighten up my eyes
I’m not a fan of wearing a lot of makeup on my face
My evening routine is very similar to my morning one
but with a few small tweaks to help me unwind
gently breaking up the fascia to release any tightness
then work upwards to lift and relax my skin
I pay extra attention to the area under my cheekbones
Sleep is a big priority for me. I need at least eight hours to feel my best, especially since my job is so physically demanding. I take BioCeuticals magnesium tablets before bed
it's made such a huge difference in my sleep quality and recovery
usually Child’s Pose and Thread the Needle
I try to stay off my phone and avoid too much blue light before bed
I’ll either read a book or play Sudoku (my guilty pleasure)
A post shared by Frame Work (@framework_bymiranda)
The first thing I do when I get home from work is jump straight into a hot
always making sure it’s a good balance of protein and vegetables
Occasionally I’ll treat myself to a glass of red wine because why not
One of my go-to techniques is stomach massage
which I always do in a clockwise direction to support digestion and reduce bloating after meals
Depending on how sensitive I’m feeling that day
I’ll adjust the pressure — sometimes a light touch is best
I start by applying oil (I normally use sweet almond oil but you can use anything you have at home) to help my hands glide smoothly
then use my fingertips to make gentle circular motions around my belly button
I use my palms or knuckles to massage deeper
soothing strokes to relax the area and promote movement
I start by warming a small amount of oil (again
your choice) in my hands and applying it to my neck and shoulders
I use my fingertips to glide from the base of my skill down to my shoulders a few times to loosen everything up
I press into them with my thumbs or knuckles
holding for a few seconds while taking deep breaths
circular motions along my upper traps and the base of my neck
I finish by tilting my head from side to side for a gentle stretch and rolling my shoulders
I focus on releasing tension around my cheeks
A lot of people forget that the forehead actually continues into the scalp
so I make sure to massage right past the hairline
This not only helps to release tension but also stimulates the hair follicles
I absolutely love Capybara in Surry Hills
with the option to move between the ice bath
I always leave feeling like I’m floating and I’ve given my body the repair it needs

the most important lesson is the power of staying true to the mission,” Kerr shared in an interview with Forbes over Zoom
“There are many moments of pressure to cut corners
but you have to stay firm in maintaining quality and authenticity.”
This commitment to quality has been her guiding principle throughout KORA’s development
The brand originated from Kerr’s personal quest for effective skin care products she could confidently use herself and share with loved ones
Kerr’s brand was born out of a desire to help people and give them the results they needed without jeopardizing their health
Kerr continues to expand her knowledge about skin care while growing both personally and professionally
Her journey demonstrates that building a purposeful brand requires patience
and unwavering focus while focusing on the needs of an evolving customer base
it comes with limitations: pregnant women can’t use it
“If you look at the before and after pictures
the results speak for themselves,” Kerr explains
our retinol alternative moisturizer impressed 90% of dedicated retinol users
who reported better results for fine lines and wrinkles compared to traditional retinol.”
At the heart of KORA’s formulations is noni extract, an ingredient with personal significance for Kerr. “I have been drinking noni juice since I was young for both its internal and external benefits,” she shares
“My grandmother introduced it to me when I was 13 and would suggest applying it directly to treat my acne I had through my teenage years.”
native to Tahiti but also grown in Australia
is packed with vitamin C and contains over 100 antioxidants
It works at the cellular level to support skin rejuvenation
delivering the radiant complexion KORA customers seek
It’s been Kerr’s “hero ingredient” since day one and every single product contains it
drawing from her studies in Nutrition and Health Psychology at Australia’s Academy of Natural Living and her certification as a health coach
Her commitment to organic ingredients intensified after her mother’s cancer diagnosis
“What we realized is that what you put on your skin goes in,” Kerr reflects
“We were horrified to discover potentially carcinogenic ingredients in mainstream products
which strengthened our dedication to certified organic formulations.”
Given that clean beauty is a trend that has become mainstream
Kerr draws a crucial distinction between “clean beauty” and “certified organic” – a difference that defines KORA Organics’ unique market position
“Certified organic means you’re avoiding pesticides and unnecessary chemicals while getting 60% more antioxidants,” Kerr explains
you’re not getting those three things because it’s very different.”
This evolution in consumer priorities has shaped KORA’s approach to business
As a carbon-neutral and climate-neutral brand
KORA offsets its environmental impact through tree planting
This commitment extends to their innovative approach to packaging updates
Rather than following industry norms of discarding old inventory when updating packaging designs, KORA launched an archival sale
“I don’t want anything to go to waste,” Kerr states
we’re giving the community a chance to stock up on moisturizers
exfoliating masks and more at 20% off until they sell through.”
This strategy represents a win-win scenario: preventing waste while offering value to customers without compromising on the formula
it’s the same high performing formula that customers love
while the brand moves forward with its packaging evolution without compromising its sustainability principles
Miranda Kerr has discovered that parenthood offers valuable lessons in entrepreneurship
though balancing family and career presents its challenges
“I need to stop micromanaging and need to step back,” Kerr admits
She emphasizes the importance of establishing routines and building trust in her team
empowering them to advance the company’s mission while she balances her responsibilities
Kerr has observed how parenthood naturally draws customers to KORA Organics
you want the best for yourself in those postpartum days and for your children,” she explains
This awareness has influenced KORA’s development as a family-friendly brand
The universal appeal of KORA products transcends gender boundaries
“More and more men are embracing it,” Kerr notes
mentioning that her husband is “obsessed with” the turmeric brightening and exfoliating mask
she applies the brand’s body oil and lotion on her children
finding them particularly beneficial during teething
“This is what we all use in our house,” she shares proudly
“I want this to be a unisex product that every member in your household can benefit from
That’s how we build repeat customers who understand that health is wealth.” This holistic approach to family wellness reflects Kerr’s commitment to creating products that nurture both body and business and prove that when personal values align with professional vision

which aims to celebrate the sport’s feminist history
will take over the Flinders Street station ballroom as part of the 2025 Rising festival
The acclaimed author and film-maker Miranda July is among a group of artists who are building a mini-golf course in Melbourne to celebrate the sport’s little-known feminist history
Swingers: The Art of Mini Golf will take over the Flinders Street station ballroom, an abandoned space above the busy Melbourne railway station, as part of the city’s annual Rising festival.

Others include the Yankunytjatjara artist Kaylene Whiskey
whose colourful works celebrate female pop culture figures such as Dolly Parton and Tina Turner; and Tokyo’s “half human

A nine-hole mini-golf course, called the Ladies’ Putting Green, was laid out for them by the famed Scottish golfer Old Tom Morris
Herbert says Swingers will be family-friendly and will take roughly 45 minutes to an hour to complete

And also because they’d be giving something a go that they wouldn’t normally do.”
The other artists creating holes are the Singaporean-Australian sculptural artist Nabilah Nordin, the Turner prize-nominated British Romany artist Delaine Le Bas; and the Minahasan artist Natasha Tontey
“Each of the artists is responding to the history of mini-golf
and has been prompted to think about things like obstacles and their removal – in both a literal sense and a metaphorical sense
in response to that surprisingly subversive history that that mini-golf has,” Herbert says
“Obviously people have fun but it is also political and I hope that people can also engage with those ideas and that history.”

The annual winter festival will run from 4-15 June this year

We tested the five KORA Organics products Miranda Kerr swears by—some lived up to the hype
I still remember the first time I saw Miranda Kerr in a Victoria’s Secret campaign—ethereal
and Kerr’s image is still luminous—but now it’s backed by something more grounded: a clean beauty empire rooted in certified-organic formulations and her own lived experience
When ELLE India got an exclusive sit-down with Kerr to celebrate KORA Organics' launch in India, I wasn’t going to just nod along. I wanted to know what really makes her glow, what products she personally uses—and, of course, whether they actually work for someone who doesn’t live in Malibu or get facials between meetings
So I asked her to share her top five KORA picks
And then I did what any self-respecting beauty editor would—I put them to the test
This wasn’t about calling everything a holy grail
It was about meeting Miranda Kerr in the middle: her ritual
Just: “These five products keep my skin balanced
She speaks with the ease of someone who’s lived this ritual
“The Noni Glow Face Oil has been my holy grail for years,” she said
“And the Milky Mushroom Mask is what I end my day with—it seals everything in.”
I wanted to understand that ritual beyond the marketing, what it looked like in practice. Her top cleanser? The Active Algae Calming Cleansing Balm. “It melts makeup, SPF, stress—everything. And it smells beautiful.”
The rose quartz roller is cooling—it’s part of the ritual.”
“It gives me that at-home facial feeling when I need a boost.”
it can go from glazed-doughnut to greasy-fast
lit-from-within vibe without needing blotting sheets
aromatic balm that melts off the day without leaving a film
but it cushions your skin after a long week of using too many actives or new products (guilty)
I layered it on post-retinol and woke up with skin that looked genuinely rested
Not in a “banish all signs of fatigue” way
but in a “you look less dead behind the eyes” way
I’ve popped this in the fridge for now - and it seems like this is the one thing I would consistently look forward to using
Kerr told me this one came straight from the heart
“It was the first product I created—for myself
“My grandmother introduced me to Noni when I was 13
That’s when I realised—this isn’t a brand built in a boardroom
that happen to come in very aesthetic packaging
Kerr’s glow isn’t just good genes. It’s habit, hydration, and skin listening. Do I love all five products
KORA isn’t fantasy skincare—it’s ritual skincare
Kerr’s routine reminds you to slow down—and that might just be where the glow starts

Miranda Tapsell and her husband James Colley announced she is pregnant with their second child with a joint post on Instagram:
“Who doesn’t love a sequel?”
we will be welcoming a new member of our little family and we couldn’t be happier
Congratulations to the growing family
Miranda sat down with The Weekly to discuss navigating the rollercoaster that is motherhood
Miranda Tapsell has loved to play dress-ups
So when The Weekly crew arrive at the lavish location we’ve hired for today’s shoot — an incredible heritage home in prime Sydney eastern suburbs real estate — the actor is in her element
she spins to better show off one of the designer outfits she’s donned for the day
“Welcome to my hooooome,” she says
“I’m riiiiicchhhhh,” before dissolving into a fit of giggles that feels far more like the Miranda we all know and love
has been with the actor since her earliest years
she says later as we sit down after cycling through a range of outfits and poses around the property
Miranda often felt underestimated growing up
Her height (in bare feet Miranda stands at a diminutive 149cm
her youth and her heritage have all played a role in her choice of career and how she tackles it
I just think people don’t know how to talk to young girls,” she says now of those earliest experiences of feeling overlooked
music and television just wasn’t given the same weight or depth that was given to young boys my age
“My height is one of the big reasons why I became an actor
because the camera plays tricks on people’s eyes
“Being short isn’t the worst thing in the world
It’s how people used to begin their conversations with me
‘When the world stops growing.’ But when I started on stage
‘When you are on stage it’s like you’re 10 feet tall
I chose something to be good at and I stuck to it
And I’ve worked hard for sure.”
who drummed into her only child the importance of discipline
this would be more important for her than others
‘You being late is different to your friends being late’,” Miranda says
I remember people making a big deal of me being late
but you couldn’t quite pull them up on it and say
‘Why was it a big deal that I was late and not my non-Indigenous co-star?’ Or
‘Why did you not make such a fuss when another girl from my dance class was late but you made a fuss out of me not being on time?’ It’s really hard to pin that on people
“I have all these little things so that people see me as a hardworking individual
I’m really proud of the fact that people say
And if she is late – which happens now that I have a kid – there is a courtesy call or message to let you know’.”
Miranda has found her attitude to plenty of things — including work — has changed since becoming a mother. It’s also safe to say that today’s act of dressing up is a welcome relief from the spills (as well as the obvious thrills) of parenting a toddler
I’m not ready for her,” she says with a raucous laugh while regaling us with tales of her strong-willed daughter
who certainly seems to have inherited her mother’s inner fire
“She’s at that age where she is determined to do something on her own — you can’t show her how to do it
“My life has changed so much. And it’s really made James [Colley, Miranda’s husband] and I think of what we want out of our life and out of our careers because our time is so much more precious
Time away from Grace needs to be worth it.”
That’s what made her latest project so special, she says. Miranda is part of the A-list cast of the Disney+ series The Artful Dodger
Set 15 years after the events of Charles Dickens’ book Oliver Twist
the series picks up with Jack Dawkins — or Dodger as we best remember him — attempting to leave his life of crime behind him in Australia
a seemingly meek and mild housemaid who turns out to be the most fearsome bushranger in town
She rules the roost not only in her illicit business dealings but also in her relationships
And as someone who has long loved Dickens’ novels and the strong women within them
it spoke to Miranda in a way she couldn’t ignore
“Someone who is misunderstood and underestimated can yield so much power,” she says
Also exciting was the opportunity to flex her skills off-screen as well as on
Miranda was enlisted as a story consultant on the script
a wonderful way to continue strengthening her ability as a writer and storyteller
so I really chase every opportunity that I can get,” she says of the additional writing she was able to do
“Even if it’s just a little cog in the wheel
I’m just super happy to be there.”
While motherhood is a thrill and a constant improvisation of its own
it makes her a better parent — one who can find the humour in her toddler’s shopping centre meltdowns along with joy in the monotony of doing endless piles of laundry and the other myriad housework chores a small child creates
“I don’t think I could be at home the whole time,” Miranda admits
that’s right.’ It’s not all I am anymore
going to work is an uplifting thing because
I really appreciate being with Grace and being her mum
It’s because I get to have those other facets of my life
In addition to his role as head writer of ABC TV’s Gruen
at the time of writing he’s about to release his book
Dad has Grace’s laser-focused attention
“She’s switched parents in terms of who is her favourite,” Miranda giggles
“She had a big meltdown this morning over Dad going to work and I felt like we’d turned a real corner
Mum,’ and Dad wasn’t getting any kisses or cuddles
it’s nice that the tables have turned and now she’s sick of Mum
He’s such an attentive and affectionate father.”
Did she not die a little on the inside the first time she was passed over in favour of Dad
I was relieved,” she says with another peal of laughter
“Because when she does give you affection
She sits on your lap so you can’t move anywhere
I love my daughter and it’s very endearing when she is giving you that kind of attention
but you are exhausted at the end of the day
Learning to say ‘no’ has been part of the parenthood journey
“We are never going to get that right.” But using that two-letter word and admitting that she has nothing left in the tank is liberating
“I get the shakes when I say it because I think
‘How am I going to manage the other person’s emotions and expectations when I’ve done that?’,” she explains
adding that James is far better at it than she is
“Because I can’t take it back once I’ve said ‘no’
And it’s not just ‘no’ she’s learning to vocalise
asking for help and accepting it has been another by-product of motherhood – one that she relishes
“There’s something liberating in just asking for something,” she says
Miranda adds that she’s also learning to be kinder to herself in many aspects of life
“If you don’t get it then you haven’t lost anything
But you’re not going to die wondering either.”
they have a strong support network helping them raise Grace
James’ relatives and good friends in their current home base of Sydney are the villages they depend upon
“I can’t try to isolate myself and do it all
because I know I can’t,” she says
Their village also helps the couple to make time for each other outside their Baby Shark duty
Watching James soften his funny guy façade to be vulnerable with his daughter has shown Miranda a new side of the man she fell in love with
As has his willingness to be all-in on the journey with her
Miranda plans to ask her mum and dad to babysit so she and James can go out to dinner
“I’ve got my hair and make-up done
I can’t let this go to waste,” she says with another peal of laughter
is the magic ingredient she needs to negotiate this new life stage
And far better at improvising when things don’t go according to plan
Where once she’d berate herself for not getting things 100 per cent right
now she does her best to find the humour in the mishaps that inevitably arise when a small human is involved
“I’m learning to be a little bit less hard on myself,” she says
“I’m dusting myself off better.” As the face of Audible — home of audiobooks and podcasts galore — it’s unsurprising to hear that she’s a fan of listening to self-help tomes
taking notes on the bits of wisdom she finds useful
whilst happily discarding those that don’t serve
saying she’ll often underline or highlight a phrase or paragraph that gives her insight
Grace is getting an early start on this, too. Her nursery is filled with prints of inspiring women and quotes, including one from Dolly Parton which says
“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”
she was just weeks away from Grace’s birth — her belly huge and the days beginning to drag
‘I really want a brave little girl because I need a brave little girl’,” she says now
that doesn’t always happen but I got exactly what I asked for.”
Grace Birri-Pa Purnarrika Colley arrived in late 2021
Miranda would love to be able to give her daughter a sibling
she says — especially as she grew up as an only child herself
But having had a tough journey to fall pregnant with Grace
“I’m aware my 40s aren’t far off,” she adds
“So it’s one of those things where I’ve just got to be very grateful for what I have right now

They’re as good as what you’d find in Prahran Market
On the weekends, I love to go to La Manna in Essendon Fields – sometimes you can get a coffee
and they put pistachio crema in it as well
I do like going to Brunetti in Lygon Street for coffee and a cake as well – that’s another weakness
Vince CaligiuriBarkley Johnson in Yarraville is a beautiful bar where I will drink wine with the girls on a Friday afternoon before school pick-up
We sit down at the back and eat cheese and drink wines by the glass
They had fabulous Italian and French wines here
The Circle Lebanese Pizza [in Altona North] is fantastic
We always go there for takeaway authentic Lebanese
and it’s not expensive like butchers in the fancy eastern suburbs – so come west and fill up your freezer bag
Bar Italia in Norton Street [in Leichhardt] is one of my favourite places to eat in Australia
It stirs all the nostalgia for me because it reminds me of moving to Sydney for the first time to work on Looking for Alibrandi
When we were filming Looking for Alibrandi in the ’90s
we’d hold all of our meetings there every week
I still love to go back when I crave that beautiful memory
Surry Hills most singular corner spot, Pellegrino 2000.Christopher PearceI love Pellegrino 2000 in Surry Hills. They make old-style artichokes – the kind you find only in Rome. Taylor Swift dined there when she came to town
They have smaller snacks on the menu and great wines
I like 10 William St [in Paddington]
We order the classic whipped [bottarga] pretzel
and the fried prawns and the spaghetti with meatballs are fantastic
My friend Janine Ellis [the founder of Boost Juice] lives in the northern beaches and we often go to Barrenjoey House [in Palm Beach] and do a lot of share plates
and my daughter Lily ate salt and pepper squid
We also order a serve of seasonal greens and a salad
Love Tilly Devine.Cole BennettsLove Tilly Devine is a cute bar [in Darlinghurst] where I have been for a drink in Sydney
I am not a pub person because they’re so loud
I also like to go to hotel lobby bars like Crown Sydney for a martini
I always recommend a bakery on the road trip from Sydney to Melbourne

After years of misery with undiagnosed Lyme disease
the entertainer shares her lessons for living
the kind of which are regularly churned out by comics in the run-up to Christmas
But while I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You has its confessional moments
it is intended as a serious manual for living
coming as it does after a decade of darkness and misery during which her career was put on hold
We learn how, for much of her life, Hart has been unwell. From her late teens onwards she suffered from “too many itises” – bronchitis, tonsilitis, pericarditis, gastroenteritis, labyrinthitis – along with blood clots
Many were the times she would wake up exhausted
wondering how she would get through the day
Matters reached a head a decade ago when she collapsed at home
after which she was bedbound with a “total ghost-like weakness”
Just a short walk outside “was as hard as anything I had done
I would stand in the road feeling as if I had to remind my brain how to put one foot in front of the other
I would look at a cup of tea on the table and wonder if I had the strength to take a sip.”
It is an attempt to make the best of a terrible situation by coaching others who may be struggling Hart’s book, then, is about what she has learned from being chronically ill and the thought processes, practices and research that have helped in her recovery. Having been let down by doctors, Hart sought answers in self-help literature, which is extensively referenced and quoted here.
As is often the way with self-help, some of the advice is sage and lodged in science while some is trite and blindingly obvious. Hart has organised what she has learned into sections she calls “treasures”. These include the benefits of talking about your suffering (as opposed to trying to hide it), surrendering to a negative or challenging situation (rather than stoically soldiering on) and the importance of self-compassion (instead of berating yourself for all that has gone wrong).
Read moreIn a narrative that moves between funny observation and treacly truism (plus a scattering of fart jokes)
Hart embraces the language of living “authentically”
finding the “loved and loving” person within and revealing her “wild
Hart insists on addressing the reader as “My Dear Reader Chum” (MDRC for short) and talking of revelatory moments in her learning as “heavy revvies”
this will either delight you or drive you mad
I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You isn’t just about Hart explaining her absence over the past decade
It is also an attempt to make the best of a terrible situation by coaching others who may be struggling with long-term health conditions
and the grief and loss of confidence that often accompanies them
It’s all very well to consult a therapist about
facing down the physical symptoms of anxiety
but sometimes you just want to hear from someone who has been there
Hart tells another story here with a coyness that suggests even her tendency to overshare has its limits
at a point when she had all but resigned herself to remaining single
she began tentatively dating someone whom she refers to as “The Boy”
Her account of slowly letting her guard down
being vulnerable and “open[ing] the Hart heart up to love” is sweet and moving
and proof that happiness is possible even in the most trying times

“I love what he says about home being the guardian of our identity
That really resonates with me,” she says
Every one of the objects that fill Skoczek’s home – from antique furniture to travel mementos
family heirlooms and artworks by friends and artists she admires – has its reason and its place
and my paintings are also very much about places experienced and imagined.”
Skoczek lives in a rented art deco apartment in Melbourne’s Camberwell with her son
Despite it being one of the darker places she’s lived in
the Tudoresque flourishes and quirky layout appeal to her
People are always getting disorientated.”
The apartment is also the location of her current studio
I love the idea of having it at home and rolling in there in my pyjamas but it can become a bit much
Then it’s time to have a separate space again.” For now
her home life is such a large part of what feeds her practice that she makes the lack of separation work
Colour is my main compositional language and colour is fundamental to our experience of the world around us
Sometimes it’s like a fun park in here
Some people would find this too much.”
But Skoczek’s innate sense of colour and composition carries throughout the apartment
“I delight in creating little stories in every little section of the room
But it’s not that thought out; it’s very instinctive.”
A green faceted mirror hangs above a Kate Tucker ceramic on the mantlepiece; on the coffee table there’s an Alma Berrow ashtray atop the art books
and by the window a misshapen Georgia Morgan vase keeps company with Skoczek’s rowdy collection of houseplants
Skoczek delights in putting unexpected pieces together
handpainted tiles by Tia Ansell are propped on the bookshelf next to a 2.4 metre gold Rococo urn from an antique store run by her friends Phillip Graham and William Tarlo
Her art collection includes 20th-century European and contemporary Australian paintings
“I like a bit of the absurd and the carnivalesque
But also somewhere to feel nurtured and at rest
I like all those things to occur and be felt.”
Art has been a part of Skoczek’s life since childhood
Her most treasured works are commissioned portraits of her mother and aunt as children by Polish painter Jerzy Potrzebowski that her grandparents brought with them when they migrated from Poland via India
Portraiture is just one loose theme that can be traced through Skoczek’s collection
Yvette Coppersmith and Jacqui Stockdale also on display
“I feel they do all speak to each other and feed off one another
I collect artists whose work I very much admire and wish I could paint like them
So I get the chance to be up close and personal with them
to study them and try to understand how the artist painted them.”
Since her first sold-out solo exhibition when she was studying at the Victorian College of the Arts
Skoczek has been reinvesting in the art of others
it was really important to me to keep that wheel turning and to collect someone else’s work.”
Many of the artists in her collection are friends and fellow alumni
including Laith McGregor and Emily Ferretti
whose large-scale painting has just been moved from Skoczek’s bedroom to the living room
where it hangs between a watercolour by Adam Lee and one of Skoczek’s own vivid works
And there are more works still waiting to be framed and hung
“Collecting art has always been an absolute focus and dedication for me
Although sometimes I feel a little regretful I might just be leaving my son a rug and an art collection and not something a little more useful
I’ve always said I don’t care about a mortgage
And I’ve justified many a purchase because it feeds and shapes my practice and story.”
Skoczek happily admits to being materialistic
“I am constantly drawing inspiration from my possessions
not a fixed being – I carry everything from house to house
and can even hint at my aspirations for my future.”

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr’s greatest love is her family
and even though she lives a swanky life in Malibu
all she wants is to be with her children at the end of the day
The now 40-year-old became a mum for the first time on January 6, 2011, when she and her former husband Orlando Bloom welcomed their only son together, Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom.
When the couple split up a couple of years later, Miranda found herself navigating life as a single mother, and she recently shared with Marie Claire how that time in her life bonded her with Flynn
“We created a little vegetable patch together
and we’d watch the vegetables grow,” she said
It’s very good for his spirits.”
She has famously forged a loving co-parent dynamic with Orlando
who has since added a daughter to his brood with Katy Perry

“We’re just really lucky,” said Miranda about their blended family
“We all like each other’s company.”
Miranda’s oasis with Flynn grew in 2015 when she started dating the CEO and co-founder of Snapchat
Miranda shared a photo (above) of how the fated pair met in 2014
fate (and @louisvuitton) brought Evan and I together at a dinner at the MOMA in NYC
The magical moment we met was captured 📸 9 years ago,” she wrote on Instagram
In 2016 they tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony
and Miranda stunned in a custom Dior wedding dress designed by the brand’s creative director
The couple enjoyed life as a family of three for a couple of years before the Kora Organics founder gave birth to her first son with Evan on March 7
They wasted no time with baby number three because ten months later
During a chat with E News, Miranda didn’t hide the struggle of two children under two
“It’s definitely a juggling act,” she said
they’re like ‘How are you?’ I send them the juggling emoji because that’s how I feel
and I’m still breastfeeding my 1-year-old.”
the former Victoria’s Secret angel couldn’t be more smitten living the life she always dreamed of
and I feel so blessed to have three healthy ones
“I love being a mother of three boys,” she told People
But when asked if she would have more children
I’m definitely loving where we’re at right now with the three of them
And I’m not sure if we will or won’t
Miranda took to Snapchat to announce a new addition was joining the clan.
“So excited to announce baby number 4,” she wrote
three became four with little Pierre Kerr Spiegel.
For a glimpse inside Miranda’s life with her four boys
the supermodel returns home to Australia as often as possible as her three boys love running a muck on the farm and even hiding in the mud
“My favourite things are just being on the farm with my family
I remember Evan was so excited about this play set that he’d organised to install at [her parents] house for the kids
and a slide and all of this,” she revealed in an interview with Vogue Magazine
the kids are going to love it.’ But then all they want to do is run around the farm
They were literally jumping in the muddy puddles right next to the play set
‘what was I thinking?’.”
Miranda announced the newest addition to her family arrived via Instagram
“We are overjoyed by the arrival of our little ray of sunshine
We couldn’t be more excited to welcome our fourth son into our family,” she wrote
“Feeling so very blessed 🙏👼🌈🌻”
Miranda shared this gorgeous video of her lying on the couch eating
Many fans were quick to point out that she looks gorgeous
“I did not look like this in my third trimester 🧐”
The soon-to-be mum of four took to Snapchat to share the exciting news that the Kerr-Spiegel family would be expanding
Miranda showed off the impressive cake her youngest son
“Happy 3rd Birthday to our little darling Myles 🎂💕🌈 We love you more than words can express
Miranda paid tribute to her son by penning on Instagram
“Happy 11th Birthday to my little sunshine Flynn
☀️ You have filled my heart with joy from the very moment you were born
You inspire me every day 🎂💖🌈.”
Flynn pictured opening his gifts on his fifth birthday
Miranda and Flynn enjoying Halloween together
and a friend were having a great time dancing together at the arcade
it’s just the best thing in the world
being a mum,” said the model during an Instagram Live
“Nothing brings me more joy than being a Mother ❤️🙏🏻🤗 Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers 🌺🌻🌷,” she captioned this picture
Evan placed his hand lovingly on Miranda’s belly while she was pregnant with Myles
Flynn made this letter for his mum at school and he adorably wrote
“My heroine is my mum because she fills me with love and she is so so nice to me.”
Miranda and her husband have strict rules about not working on Sunday to be present with their sons
Speaking with E News she gushed
“Sometimes I have to just stop and pinch myself because we have three healthy children
we’re both doing what we love.”

As Mufasa: The Lion King prepares to roar onto Disney+ on March 26
we revisit our interview with creative genius Lin-Manuel Miranda
Lin-Manuel Miranda has won a Pulitzer Prize, three Tony Awards, two Primetime Emmys, five Grammys and two Laurence Olivier Awards. In addition, he’s been nominated twice at the Oscars
But there’s one particular statuette that has a special place in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s heart
“It’s a math expressions award that I won in 11th grade,” the Hamilton star and creator tells The Weekly on a Zoom call from his home in New York
“I was a straight C and D grade student in math
Yalos who allowed us to do creative projects to demonstrate that we understood the principles being taught
I got a B and a little statue that is somewhere around here.”
there’s only one of his works that has managed to really impress them
“I got some major points when I got to play Major Tom the horse in Bluey,” he laughs
“Bluey is definitely top of the list of what my kids like that I have been a part of
his latest project may just change that…
I was still finishing Encanto and I was pretty burnt out
I read the screenplay and was blown away by how surprised I was
We all think of Mufasa as a superdad who lives in the clouds and sounds like James Earl Jones
It was a portrait of the lion as a young cub and everything I thought I knew about him was totally upended and surprising
I felt like I knew where the songs went on that first read
Yeah, 100 per cent. And even more than that, my kids really love The Lion Guard, which is the Disney+ series and also has incredible songs
I never even considered Elton John’s reaction
The one I claimed as my own was The Little Mermaid
The moment Sebastian the Crab started singing a calypso Caribbean number — I was never the same after that
I saw it three times in the theatre — I took three different adults to take me
I called in sick from school the day it came out on VHS so that I could be the first to have it at the low price of $19.99
When we first went to the UK — because that production happened first — reporters would ask me
‘Are you worried that we don’t know anything about American history over here?’ And I would say
we don’t know that much about American history
I honestly think the secret sauce of the show is that I’m learning this stuff as I’m musicalising it for you.’”
I just don’t know that I can top what I did
the fun about musicals and the reason they’re my favourite genre is that they can encompass so many things
Musicals continue to push the boundaries of what kind of stories they can tell
So I’m always going to try to chase what I haven’t done
It’s A Wonderful Life is a very special Christmas movie
We’re lucky enough to live pretty close to both sets of parents
We live in the same neighbourhood we grew up in
who Lin-Manuel first met in high school) has kind of seized control of Christmas
We usually have everyone come to our house and if it’s not our house
it’s my sister’s house over the river in New Jersey

The author’s hypnotic reading evokes the desires and existential crisis of a 45-year-old woman on a wild road trip
sexy novel everyone’s been talking aboutThe author’s hypnotic reading evokes the desires and existential crisis of a 45-year-old woman on a wild road trip
a nameless Los Angeles-based artist who has had success “in several mediums” leaves behind her husband
She is due at a meeting in New York and has decided to get there via a leisurely road trip
But what starts off as a fleeting break from the mundanity of marriage and motherhood turns into a wild and wonderfully odd unravelling
she impulsively leaves the freeway and checks into a scruffy motel
There she is electrified by a younger car hire worker who has “a Huckleberry Finn/Gilbert Blythe look that I used to flip out over as a teenager.” After the two lock eyes while he squeegees her windscreen (not a euphemism)
she decides to pursue him in an unusually chaste love affair
All Fours – which has been shortlisted for this year’s Women’s Prize for fiction – is narrated by July whose pacy
hypnotic reading skilfully evokes the internal monologue of her protagonist
who pinballs between drily funny and existentially bereft
The book has been called a menopause novel on the basis that it centres on a 45-year-old dismayed at being halfway through her life and past her peak (both her grandmother and aunt killed themselves and she worries she is next in line)
But there’s more than just dwindling oestrogen in this frank and subversive tale which reflects on desire
and shines a light on the complex inner life of a woman

From drinking a litre of celery juice every morning to help with her IBS to a concealer cheat that makes her look this good on Zoom
it turns out supermodels can be surprisingly relatable
practically glows out of my screen – and it’s very hard to believe that she just had a baby
We’re chatting over Zoom from her Los Angeles home
where she lives with her billionaire husband Evan Spiegel
the 34-year-old Snapchat founder and their three children
from her first marriage to actor Orlando Bloom
when it comes to ageing (and possibly everything else)
my own camera angles have never quite looked so brutal as they do sitting opposite a literal supermodel
Yet I instantly feel relaxed around Miranda
As her equally gorgeous golden-haired cavapoochon
barrels in and out of her minimalist white office background
she opens up about the pressure she puts on herself as a mother
how she’s an exercise procrastinator and struggles with neck pain from breastfeeding
But it’s somewhere between confessing that she has IBS and brandishing a bunch of the celery that she juices daily to help with her gut health
that I realise: this superwoman is surprisingly human
given that since rising to fame as the first Australian Victoria’s Secret model in 2007
she’s walked for everyone from Dior to Chanel and Givenchy – and has been consistently ranked by Forbes as one of the highest-earning supermodels
Kerr is more than just a pretty face: she is also the savvy
Kora Organics – the certified organic skincare brand she founded (and invested all her money into) in 2009
This was inspired by her mother’s experience of spleen cancer
“We realised that what you put on your skin soaks in
not just clean – because clean wasn’t even a thing back then – using ingredients that are internally good for you too”
From moisturisers to masks, supplements and cleansers (her latest launch being the new Active Algae Calming Cleansing Balm)
they’re formulated with organic ingredients – which some studies have found to contain 60 per cent more antioxidants than non-organic fruit and veg – such as turmeric
She juggles all of this alongside raising her four children – but if you’d think childcare wouldn’t be an issue for the super-rich
“My mother worked and unfortunately wasn’t able to be as involved in our lives
“Even when we have someone to watch the kids
I just want to be with them if I’m in the same house”
After having her eldest at 27, Kerr says she felt the pressure to get back to work – and was literally walking in Paris Fashion Week two months later. But, she admits that it’s different having a baby in your forties. This time, she took a much gentler, slower approach to postpartum recovery with Pierre, kickstarting a longer maternity leave over the summer by following a book called The First Forty Days
by Heng Ou – which involved 45 days of intensive bonding (think: plenty of skin-to-skin contact
“Now I prioritise my family over anything else and they come first
then health and wellness.I feel like health is wealth”
the more I can give to the kids because I feel like I’ve filled up my cup”
A supermodel has entered the chat: GTG’s Florence talking wellness with Miranda Kerr
poring over all of the latest health tech (much to the bemusement of her techie husband
who she says is always laughing at her latest gadgets and gizmos)
“All these hacks are to try to support me to live my crazy lifestyle”
as she bounds away for the millionth time to go fetch whatever new elixir she wants to enthusiastically demo for me
This is not another celebrity jumping on the clean living fad bandwagon: in fact
I’m not sure I’ve met anyone else as genuinely obsessed with health and wellness (except for
When I broach the topic of Botox she keeps shtum
saying only that it’s not even an option for her currently
she’s adamant that her skincare regime gets natural results – and can’t resist swooping super close to the camera
to proudly show me her non-existent wrinkles
As for all of her other secrets to looking – and feeling – so good
Each morning Miranda drinks one litre of organic celery juice on an empty stomach, over the course of a few hours. She cold presses a whole bunch each time in the Omega MM1500 Celery Slow Juicer
and has a special celery drawer in her fridge – which she keeps stocked up by visiting her local farmer’s market twice a week
she recommends starting with a glass and working up
It’s a ritual she’s been doing religiously for six years since being diagnosed with proctitis
“It’s an auto-immune thing and they don’t necessarily have the answers to why
But she thinks that the anti-inflammatory benefits of celery have helped to improve her gut health
as she is now in remission according to a recent colonoscopy
she makes extra for her husband and son Flynn
but my husband always has his coffee first – he’s like
nothing is gonna take me away from my coffee!”
serum on top of her makeup several times a day
as she puts it: “You can keep your head out and even be on a business call – I like to multitask!”
For a good hair care brand that is natural, Miranda recommends Rahua: she uses their Classic Shampoo and Conditioner
and she finds the woody scent de-stressing
“it closes the hair shaft and gives your hair that shine”
£127.20: it looks like a felt-tip pen and contains a tingling formula of peppermint
eucalyptus and lavender for soothing aches and pains
She rolls it onto her neck to ease breastfeeding pains
my husband had a headache – and he’s been so anti this for so long because he says it smells so minty – but it completely eased it”
A post shared by Megan Roup (@meganroup)
such as the four-minute postpartum dancing arms with your baby
bitesize workouts fit best into her busy childcare and work schedule: “I think
another ten minutes there – and you feel less pressure”
she admits that even she can be a bit of an exercise procrastinator
she’s adopted a new mantra that she heard about on the Diary of a CEO podcast
which she listens to while on the treadmill
Like various high-profile mums – from Chrissy Teigen to several Kardashians (and even one of our GTG writers) – Kerr has tried a niche practice called ‘placenta encapsulation’
where your placenta is freeze-dried and turned into capsules that you can take to supposedly help balance hormones
but she says she felt better after taking them for one month postpartum
she had some of it bottled into a tincture that you can keep taking
as she puts it: “for those days when you’re just feeling a little off”
She’s done it with all of her children and uses the same woman every time
but can’t remember her name – “she’s just saved as placenta lady on my phone!”
Another on-the-go essential for Miranda is her Theragun Mini
£109 – a pocket massage gun which she uses to soothe the aches and pains in her neck and shoulders from breastfeeding Pierre
She still does a mix of feeding and pumping every three hours
and says:”I keep it on me at all times and it has helped so much: it’s my best friend!”
A post shared by Miranda Kerr (@mirandakerr)
Once a week Miranda goes for a hyperbaric oxygen treatment – and like our GTG staffer, is a huge fan of its energising benefits
This involves breathing 100 per cent pure oxygen in a compressed chamber (whereas the air we normally breathe is only 21 per cent oxygen)
as it is thought to have major health benefits – from reducing inflammation to healing damaged tissue
And Kerr thinks that it’s one of many lifestyle changes this year which has helped in her recovery from proctitis
Although she’s tried many diets over the years, Miranda is currently following a recipe book by Dr Steven Gundry called Gut Check: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Mental, Physical and Emotional Health
The idea is that you avoid foods that contain high quantities of lectins
veg and grains that has been – somewhat controversially – linked to digestive problems

Tough business conditions have claimed another well-known local firm
with Howard's Storage World at Westfield Miranda closing after more than 18 years
who owned two newsagencies in Gymea before buying the home storage franchise and owning it since
but they couldn't afford the "very big" rent increase
"Business has been tough - online shopping is killing everyone," he said
but that's business and you have to move on
"[Scentre Group] always have someone new ready to come in."
'It's a sad story': Howard's Storage World at Miranda closes after 18 yearsMr Patel said regular customers were very disappointed "because there's nothing like this in Sutherland Shire"
we offer solutions with quality goods," he said
Howard's was located in the older part of the Miranda centre before moving to its present location when the major redevelopment was completed in 2014
Discounts of 30 per cent on all goods store-wide are being offered as stock is cleared
Mr Patel said they were required to leave by the end of March
"but I don't think we will last that long"
who has worked at Howard's for almost 10 years said
There are 10 remaining Howard's Storage World stores in Sydney
the closest to Sutherland Shire being Moore Park and Bondi Junction

Miranda Kerr has bravely chosen to share the medical condition she has been suffering with since being pregnant with her second son
The 41-year old Australian super model is suffering from proctitis
which is inflammation of the lining of the rectum
“It’s an auto-immune thing and they don’t necessarily have the answers to why
which is frustrating,” she told Get the Gloss
Miranda, who has her own organic skincare range, Kora Organics
has found her own way of dealing with the condition
She explained that she drinks a litre of celery juice on an empty stomach every morning which helps with her symptoms
It’s a routine she’s stuck to for the past six years
even devoting an area of her fridge to the organic celery that she buys twice a week from her local farmers market
There’s clearly plenty for all the family and she said she has tried to get her husband, billionaire SnapChat founder Evan Spiegel
on board but that he likes his morning coffee too much
but my husband always has his coffee first—he’s like
nothing is gonna take me away from my coffee!”
Symptoms of proctitis can include rectal pain
and they can be short-lived or become chronic
It’s common in people who have inflammatory bowel disease
Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis but
there’s no explanation as to why it flares up in some people and not others
There’s no suggestion that drinking celery juice is a cure or the only way to ease symptoms
Miranda says that things are improving though
and she shared that she’s recently had a colonoscopy and is now in remission
The mum-of-four shares her first son Flynn
with her ex husband Orlando Bloom who she divorced in 2013
She went on to marry Evan in 2017 and the couple share three sons Hart
who shot to fame at the age of 13 after winning a Dolly magazine modelling competition
has long been a proponent for a healthy and organic lifestyle
Her organic skincare range was inspired by her mother’s experience of spleen cancer
“We realised that what you put on your skin soaks in
not just clean – because clean wasn’t even a thing back then – using ingredients that are internally good for you too,” she said
Above all for Miranda’s family comes first though
“I prioritise my family over anything else and they come first
then health and wellness.I feel like health is wealth”
the more I can give to the kids because I feel like I’ve filled up my cup”
Pia Miranda is no stranger to connecting with people. It's what she does for a job after all. She's an actress, an author, a television personality and — perhaps the most challenging of all — a mum too.
Pia's kids — Lily (14 years old) and Jimmy (11 years old) — have recently hit the "tween" age. While she recognises that it's important to connect with kids across their whole lives, Pia told me it's more critical than ever at this age.
When speaking to Pia about her thoughts on parenting tweens, I noticed she kept coming back to the same metaphor — the image of filling up a well.
"Parents, and especially working parents, can have so much guilt around not having enough time with their kids," she told me. "I know that sometimes I do feel guilty, but it's about finding the moments where you can fill the well when the well feels empty. It's about recognising when that well of connection is a little low and finding ways to top it back up."
And filling up that well becomes more crucial the more time kids spend on their phones.
"It's an interesting discussion about kids on phones," Pia told me. "We were locked down for so long in Melbourne, and the only way my kids could connect with their friends was online."
"It's meant I need to be super checked-in with what they're doing and let them know that I'm always checking in. I don't want them to feel like I'm spying, but I do have access to everything they do. I tell them that whatever they put out on the internet, they should imagine on a billboard or on their work resume — it stays there forever."
Critically, she knows that getting kids offline and making family memories is one of the most important ways to ensure they don't fall into negative habits online.
"I spend a lot of time with my kids so that, if I need to go away, we've had that time together," she said. For Pia, work trips are a fairly regular occurrence.
Pia competed on Dancing With The Stars last year, and has recently finished filming The Big Trip, a reality television series where four teams race across Australia to reach the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Filming The Big Trip took Pia away from her kids for a while, but she's come home with more ideas than ever on how to drag them away from their screens.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pia Miranda (@_piamiranda)
Pia raves about her experience on The Big Trip
citing seeing whales and dolphins in Ceduna
She loved driving cross-country across Australia in a Hyundai EV on the show
"I've never been more excited about a car in my life," she laughed
"The whole electric vehicle thing is a game-changer for road-tripping
venture into the shops and refuel with a coffee — all while the car is charging
Pia also explained that the Hyundai EV allowed her and her teammate
to visit places in iconic Aussie terrain that might have seemed off-limits for EVs — proving that this was definitely not the case
The Big Trip has made Pia reflect on the value of taking road trips with her own kids
and encouraged her to plan another one in the near future.
"I'm lucky because my kids are older now and they can join me and really get into them
There's nothing my kids and I love better than stopping off at a little town and going to their local bakery
You'll see if you watch The Big Trip — my whole modus operandi is bakeries!"
"My kids and I all really love souvenir shops
We love to drive somewhere and go for a beautiful walk
visit a place we've never been before and just follow our noses."
I asked her about the specific things her family does to connect with each other on road trips
and she told me (no pun intended) that with tweens and teenagers
"A road trip is a really good way to find out what your teens and tweens are interested in
My daughter actually got me into Tyler The Creator while we were in the car and now that's what we listen to on drives."
I just always ask questions and am interested in the answers."
When it comes to taking tweens on road trips as a chance to fill up that metaphorical well
"Even if it's just a day trip in summertime
there's a lot of stressful and scary stuff going on in their worlds
It's nice to just be involved in stuff that's offline and just about having fun."

Miranda Kerr’s relationship with Orlando Bloom may no longer be romantic
And her relationship with his current fiancée Katy Perry is anything but frosty
and Pirates of the Caribbean actor
married in 2010 and welcomed their son Flynn a year later
Miranda said of their break up in an interview with The Edit
explaining “We weren’t bringing out the best in each other.”
However, when Orlando started dating pop superstar Katy Perry
there were no hard feelings and the two women were even photographed together by celebrity manager
Aleen Keshishian at the Moschino Fashion Show in 2016
Miranda went on to marry Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel in 2017 and has since welcomed sons Hart
the KORA Organics founder revealed that she and her ex’s new partner had no bad blood when she uploaded a picture of them at the 2019 launch of her Noni Bright Vitamin C serum
“Thanks for shining bright with me @katyperry & Angela,” Miranda captioned a photo that featured herself and Katy
Katy shared the same snap along with a message of congratulations that read: “KORA-grats on an illuminating vitamin c packed to perfection product – The #Nonibrightserum @mirandakerr @koraorganics (also
Kerr and Perry walked the red carpet together at the G’Day USA Arts Gala in LA
Posing for photographs together on the carpet
the pair also united inside the event where Perry awarded Kerr with the Excellence in Arts award
Miranda shared a montage of videos from the evening with the caption: “when you love your son’s step mom.”
the pair attended the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala together and in March 2025
the pair once again posed alongside each other as they attended the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
In a chat with The Morning Show in 2019 following Orlando and Katy’s engagement
the mum-of-three said that she is “really grateful” for the relationship she has with her ex and his wife-to-be
“We really do get along so well,” Miranda revealed
adding that they all work hard to coordinate their schedules around Flynn
“We all have Flynn’s best interests at heart
And we just worked together to work it out … I’m very happy
but I’m really happy and feel very blessed that it has.”
“We appreciate each other,” she told the publication
Katy also spoke about the blended family dynamic on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019.
“[It’s] definitely matured me,” she said. “I guess this is adulting.”
In a chat with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe
Katy also lovingly referred to Flynn when she spoke of her pregnancy and the joys she gained after struggling with depression
Orlando and Katy are now proud parents to Daisy Dove Bloom who was born in August 2020
and it’s safe to say Miranda is over the moon for the happy couple
Can’t wait to meet her,” she wrote following Daisy Dove’s birth

skincare routine and techniques for feeling like her best self
marie claire: Congratulations on your newest member of the family
Miranda Kerr: He is such a little ray of sunshine
He’s been my easiest; I call him Peaceful Pierre.
mc: Did you take some time off for the pregnancy?
But I took some time off in front of the camera; I’m back in full swing now
mc: We can imagine that life is pretty busy now
Can you give us a snapshot of what a morning is like at your house now that you have four young boys?
MK: We’re both up before the kids are up
My husband is up every morning at 5.30am; he has done that since I met him 10 years ago
I’m up between 4.30 at 5.30am which gives me a little bit of time to do my routine
It depends on how I’m feeling; I might do a little bit of yoga
The kids are getting up by 6.45am so it’s busy with breakfast and breastfeeding
and that’s when Pierre goes down for his nap
It’s juggling the work commitments that I have
I can work from home and I manage that as best I can
but I still want to make sure that I’m there for the baby and the breastfeeding and all that.
mc: What’s your exercise of choice during your 20-minute morning workouts?
which lets you do a quick 10-minute or 20-minute workout
They have postpartum and prenatal programs
mc: Can you tell us just a little bit about Baby2Baby non-profit organisation and why you decided to join with them?
MK: I’m on the board at Baby2Baby because I feel that they’re such an incredible organisation that support children in need
They really help people that aren’t able to buy those staples like nappies and formula and the essential needs for their children
It’s incredible for me to get our family involved
It’s something that Flynn and the boys enjoy doing; donating their time and helping pack the boxes.
you’ve been in the beauty industry since you were a teenager
MK: I feel like as cliché as it might sound
it does come from being comfortable in your own skin and really just shining [from] your heart and shining your light
It’s really about feeling comfortable in your own skin and comfortable with who you are as a person and expressing wholeheartedly all of the wonderful things that you have to offer this world.
mc: You’ve been a pioneer of organic skincare for a long time and now people are starting to really take organic on board and understand its benefits
Why do you think people are more receptive to organic and understanding how effective it can be?
MK: The reason I started Kora as a certified organic brand was because my mum had cancer in her spleen
We had to really look at everything we were doing from a 360-degree approach as a family
What products we were using and what ingredients sink into skin
[experts] say we should be aware of what we’re putting on our skin
But I don’t feel like we have to just be concerned when we’re pregnant
which is why I wanted to have a certified organic brand
People are becoming more fascinated and excited about organic because an organic ingredient has up to 60% more antioxidants
It’s why our products are getting incredible results; you’re avoiding the unnecessary chemicals and we’re getting up to 60% more antioxidants because of these certified organic ingredients.
mc: Can you talk me through the new cleansing balm and how it fits into your routine?
MK: The Cleansing Balm has active algae and is buttery soft
It just melts away your makeup and is super soothing
So my nighttime routine is to have a quick bath with Pierre
but I don’t get a chance to remove my makeup
I use the cleansing balm to remove my makeup
It is incredible how gentle and effective it is; it doesn’t leave any residue on your skin
There are pineapple enzymes in there too to deeply clean your skin without stripping it so you’ll notice
mc: If someone wanted to live a more organic lifestyle
how would you suggest they start?
MK: It’s really important to read and educate yourself on the ingredients in everything that you’re using
because many products can claim to be natural when they only have one natural ingredient
but that’s just their own definition of clean
We have a certification process from world certification body
and they have the strictest rules when it comes to everything from ingredients to packaging
and so it guarantees that our products meet the highest sustainability [measures].
mc: What products would you recommend we start with?
mc: Katy Perry is said to also be a fan of Kora…
but she really wanted to get that glow and this product does that
My husband uses the Turmeric Scrub every day in the shower and the Turmeric Glow Moisturiser with the Noni Glow Face Oil
I’m personally obsessed with the plant stem cell range because it’s very focused on anti-aging

Renowned Australian actress Miranda Tapsell has revealed some VERY exciting news – she’s expecting another child!
The 37-year-old revealed she’s pregnant with her second child with her husband, James Colley, which she announced via Instagram.
Miranda and her husband jointly posted with the caption, “Who doesn’t love a sequel? Come August, we will be welcoming a new member of our little family and we couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to meet you, bub. We hope you like chaos. With love, Miranda, James, Grace and TBD.”
This will be the pair’s second child, after the birth of their daughter Grace in December 2021.
Sharing her sonogram to announce their first pregnancy and a very happy snap with her hubby Miranda wrote: “Our very exciting production due 2021 👶🏾.”

James posted an identical post on his social media page sharing in the joyous news
Miranda first met her husband
in a somewhat unconventional but highly modern way: on Twitter
One follow online of the comedy writer known for his work on ABC’s Gruen and The Weekly
“He was friends with my friends so it’s not like this strange catfish story, though he will tell you differently. He thinks I hit him up, that I started flirting,” she joked to the Australian Women’s Weekly.
“He was chatting to Aboriginal playwrights and rappers
and I was reading all his stuff which was quite funny
You’ve got to think quickly on your feet and say very little
They then engineered a meeting and Miranda says she felt an instant connection
“It was so nice to meet someone where I didn’t have to try so hard
I was able to talk about Beyonce and hip-hop and things that we both liked
he started talking about space because he’s a real nerd and I was just like
‘mate you’ve lost me’.”
In 2014 Miranda Kerr had just emerged from “a really bad depression” after her split from Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom
was navigating single motherhood and acing co-parenting when she attended a Louis Vuitton event in New York and was deliberately sat next to Snapchat founder
the executive vice president for the fashion brand who made that fateful seating choice
“She is very beautiful; I’m sure he will have a good time.”
According to Page Six, Miranda struck up a conversation with the CEO of Snapchat by telling him “Spiegel im Spiegel” by Arvo Pärt was her favourite song
he never sent the then mother-of-one a text
so I wasn’t going to waste my time.”

and with a bit of encouragement from former Harper’s Bazaar editor Glenda Bailey
Miranda decided to risk it all by sending Evan a text
As she is known for her flirty personality
it’s no surprise that she smoothly typed and sent: “Just wondering – did you ever listen to that song
The 38-year-old told the Sydney Morning Herald that they ended up building a friendship before it became something more
“We met at a dinner in LA for Louis Vuitton and became friends
We were really good friends for a long time before we started dating,” she said

We’re just a modern family now!” Miranda told The Edit
While they display a rather picture-perfect blended family
Evan explained to WSJ he and his wife “see the world very differently,” but that it gives them a certain strength
“There’s nothing more helpful than having someone who loves you
point out a different perspective,” he confessed
But the butterflies are never too far away, and Miranda once described their first kiss as “electric” and “magical” to Elle Spain
“I felt like it was the first of my life,” she gushed
After falling head over heels for their love story
here are some of the most adorable pictures showing their love
