The first 30 seconds of session one were a bit of a shock. The warm, sunset light is very bright, so much so that the therapist gently tapped my shoulder and told me to “get ready for the light”. I was wearing small goggles to protect my eyes, but because the light was so intense initially, my instincts kicked-in and I squeezed them shut. But in another moment when my body surprised me with what it can tolerate, I soon fell asleep. Continue reading after the break.

Reese Witherspoon isn’t afraid of a hair change, having gone from blonde to brunette for a role earlier this year. And now the actress has stepped out with a shorter look. Reese has been teasing us with photos of the cut on her WhoSay account, but this weekend was the first time we got a clearer glimpse of her shorter strands. She was spotted with a shoulder-length lob over the weekend, and her colour looked just a touch lighter than her most recent appearances. The cut isn’t a drastic change, but it still creates a new look for Reese. Are you a fan?
We had to do a double take when we spotted Sienna Miller‘s hair on the red carpet at the British Fashion Awards. Has the actress dyed her hair a subtle shade of pink? It seems so, but it Sienna chose an interesting part of her hair to highlight. Instead of all-over colour or an ombré effect, Sienna dyed only the front midsection of her hair with a subtle rose gold hue. We’ve seen this look on her before, though. Back in 2011, Sienna stepped out sporting pink hair during a trip to Ibiza with Tom Sturridge. Clearly she knows what she likes, but are you a fan of her pink hair?
We take a look back into the archives. The Covid pandemic has caused massive disruption to the fashion awards season so we’ve taken a seven year walk back through Memory Lane to remind ourselves of how good it could be. 2013 was a top year and when The British Fashion Awards were held in London in December all our favourite girls were there. Relive it with us…
The British Fashion Awards took place in London today, and all our favourite girls were there. Kate Moss looked sexy in fur and red lips, giving fashion darling Alexa Chung a run for her money. Rita Ora looked busty and beautiful with that platinum blonde hair, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley so statuesque, she could live in a museum. Click through to see all the Brit It girls doing their red carpet thing.
And another walk down memory lane. Let’s revisit the one night when our favourite celebrities can let their hair down and add a little edge to their look, but the 2013 ARIA Awards turned out to be all about sleek sophistication.
It’s one night when our favourite celebrities can let their hair down and add a little edge to their look, but the 2013 ARIA Awards turned out to be all about sleek sophistication. Jessica Gomes hit the black carpet in a slick Dion Lee dress that matched her sleek hair and classic makeup, while Alicia Keys had her hair styled up in what might be the classiest all-over quiff we’ve ever seen. Even Lorde, who’s famous for her incredible curly hair, opted for a pared-back look, slicking her locks right down and sealing the deal with some darkly-painted lips. And Jessica Mauboy? She made a strong case for low-slung ponytails that have just the right amount of casual-cool to them. Click through now to see the most beautiful looks from the 2013 ARIA Awards!
