  • Take it away, Taylor

    EDITORS LETTER

    F or some time now, Ive thought that something that really ought to exist is The Book Of Taylor. Even Lena Dunham once told her, I just want to let you know that your albums have gotten me through a lot of very bad times. She really does have an emotional wisdom that I admire, and millions and millions of album sales would indicate that others agree with me and Lena.

    Im sure youve guessed by now, but the fact is, I adore Taylor Swift. She embodies everything we champion at GLAMOUR. Shes smart, talented, powerful, ambitious, gutsy and a thoroughly lovely and decent human being. Ive seen her make awestruck fans feel instantly at ease with a genuine compliment or a huge bear hug. I love that shes had success through sticking resolutely to what she wants to sing, say and wear in a video. Shes an almost laboratory-grown Team GLAMOUR specimen.

    So, when we hatched our plan to have Taylor take her second GLAMOUR cover (the first was in 2013), I broached the idea with her that she could take over some inside pages as well. I asked her this on what was another typically manic day. She had flown into Britain the day before. She was off after our shoot to rehearse for the Brits performance the following night, and then would race through two red-carpet events that evening. So I knew it was highly likely that when I suggested my idea, she and her publicist would just look at me like I was insane. Which they kind of did for a few seconds. But then Taylor said, I love the idea, and Ive never done anything like this before. Its just working out if I have the time

    When Taylor says shes doing something, shes committed. So she took a few days to work out if she could. Then suddenly we got a flurry of emails with the finished, word-perfect results.

    And voil, the woman ruling the charts and Instagram and pretty much the world right now has produced this very special guest edit of GLAMOURs pages. Across the magazine, Taylor has laid out her rules for living, her philosophies for relationships, her biggest beliefs, her favourite people and even where to buy a life-changing burger.

    Im thrilled that we get to have her personal stamp on this special issue, and I hope you love it.

    Enjoy the issue,

    I adore Taylor. She embodies everything

    we champion at GLAMOUR

    GLAMOUR-TO-GO

    Success is worth itDawn OPorters Can You Ever Have Too Much Ambition? came at the perfect time for me. I work in a high-pressure advertising agency

    and have been wondering if the easy life would make me happier. But Dawn is

    right: giving up my ambitions could never make me happy. Taya, by email

    Know your bodyThank you for Why Do We Find It So Hard To Say Vagina?. At the start of my sex life,

    I went to the sexual health clinic complaining of pain during sex, thinking I had thrush.

    I was diagnosed with vestibulodynia. When I went to the GP, she sent me for a smear test, although even my limited knowledge told me the cervix was inside and the vestibule outside. If I had read this sooner, it would have given me the

    confidence to insist on being sent straight to the specialist rather than for many painful,

    unnecessary tests. Natasha, by email

    You can move forwardThe Surprising Way I Survived Tragedy was so helpful. Laura has learned to face the future,

    and that cant have been easy. Ive been living under a cloud since my brother went missing 12 years ago, aged 22. I miss him so much, some days life seems pointless,

    but Laura made me realise life really does go on and I shouldnt waste it moping. Thank you, Laura, for your story. Kym, by email

    Women love football tooThe Say No To Sexism In Sport campaign is long overdue. Ive been an avid Manchester United fan since I was ten and experience

    sexism in sport daily: You only watch football because you fancy the players, for example.

    Why cant I have my football shirt and my make-up on? When I show my knowledge,

    men seem intimidated or women assume Ive researched it to impress men. Seriously?! I am a football fan, and I am a woman.

    It is possible to be both. Katrina, by email

    Just in case its escaped your attention, flares are back in a big, bell-bottomed way. At the Spring/Summer 15 shows,

    we saw every variation on flared trousers but Alexa Chung led the pack in her own design for AG Jeans. Slim-fit and perfectly neat, these say modern muse rather than 1970s throwback. A definite must for our denim wardrobe.

  • Dont do the cool girl thingI was underneath the clock at Waterloo Station when a man came over and said, Are you Claire? I wasnt, obviously. But as he walked off, I wondered what would have happened if Id said yes? And then, what a great premise for a movie!

    However, in real life, dont literally assume someone elses identity at best, its creepy, at worst, illegal. And it sounds trite, but be yourself. If you havent read War And Peace and are a bit high maintenance, dont pretend otherwise. Believe me, itll save a lot of time.

    Beware the boozeOnce, on a blind date, I had three vodka tonics on an empty stomach and told my date all about the time

    I slept with a man called Stavros on the island of Skiathos. I like to think it was an hilarious, sophisticated story, but Ill never know, because I was shit-faced. Also, drunk kissing/sex can be amazing, but it can also make you confused and a bit sad the next day. Do you really fancy him? Only a sober bunk-up can determine this.

    Embrace a hobbyIm all for recreational activity on a blind date, because being a good bowler is a bit of a deal breaker for me. The upshot is: doing something other than sitting at a table takes the pressure off the small talk. Of course you need to find out where hes from and what he does for a living, blah, blah, blah, but you can at least do it while getting a strike or shouting Bingo!

    Choose your setter-upper carefullyFor friend-of-a-friend set-ups, my first question is: Will it be fun even if I dont fancy him? Because chances are, you probably wont fancy him. Post-date, I once texted a friend to ask what possessed her to set me up with the guy. She replied, Yeah, sorry, he is a bit boring. The lesson: trust only women whose partners you fancy a bit their taste is your taste!

    Let yourself be disarmedIn Man Up, Nancy (Lake Bell) says yes to Jack (Simon Pegg) because shes lost her confidence and is stressed out by the modern world of dating. When Jack quotes one of her favourite films and makes her laugh, she takes a chance. Because what if the actual man of your dreams is nothing like the man in your dreams? You dont know how or when youre going to meet somebody, so if a man approaches you about a blind date under the clock at Waterloo Station, go with it!

    Man Up is in cinemas from May 29

    By screenwriter Tess Morris, who channelled the nerves,

    the awkward bits and the comedy potential for this months

    movie Man Up. Heres what she learned along the way

    How to ace a blind date

    Simon Pegg and Lake Bell do the blind-date thing in Man Up

    LordeBecoming friends with Ella

    was like immediately having a truth serum added to my life. If Im conflicted about

    something and I need a clear-cut answer, Ella is the one I call first. There is no

    grey area with her. There is yes or no, right or wrong,

    this or that. Life is so much easier when you have a

    friend who shoots straight. And shes so intelligent, her

    advice is always spot on.

    THE 10WOMEN

    WHO CHANGED

    MY LIFEBy Taylor Swift

    Karlie KlossKarlie is pure sunshine, and anyone who has met her would tell you that. She thinks of everyone else before she thinks of herself. She tries to make everyone around her better and stronger. She buys random presents and stops by (just to say hi and give you a hug). She has a million things to juggle and Ive never seen anyone do it so gracefully, all the while putting herself last on her list of concerns.

    Faith HillFaith is one of my favourite singers because she shows so many sides of herself. She is glamorous, but emotive. She is quirky, but elegant. She is flawless, yet always comes off very human. When I first started putting out albums, she was one of the first women to reach out to me and make me feel I had a friend in the music world. Ill never forget that, and Ill always try to treat young artists the

    way she treated me.

  • My momLooking back at my early childhood, before the preteen insecurities and whispers in school hallways caused doubts and insecurities in my young and impressionable mind, back when I was just a tangly haired kid running around in mismatched clothes on a farm all day way back then the things I remember feeling about myself were the things my mother told me over and over again. I was special. I was smart. There was no one like me. I was different from everyone else in the world. I wasnt weird, I just had a wild imagination. I wasnt strange, I was creative. She was proud of me. She wouldnt want to be anywhere else more than she wanted to be with me. When I grew up, the first things to make me question those ideas were bullies and mean girls in class. Every day I went home devastated and my mom would remind me that they were wrong. Sometimes Id roll my eyes and scoff at her opinion, but there was always a quiet confidence deep inside me that wouldnt let people and their mean-spirited words defeat me. Since then, its gone from school-yard bullies to tabloids. Its never going to be painless when people say things about you that arent true, or try to make you feel worthless. But I was lucky enough to have a mother who armed me with the only weapons Ill ever need to fight the cruelty of this world: words.

    Lily AldridgeLily was my first close friend to get married and start a family,

    and its been so inspiring to watch her raise her little

    girl, Dixie. She balances being one of the busiest

    career women in the world with being her little girls best

    friend, doting mother, favourite playmate and constant

    companion. I look at her and see the best-case scenario

    for how Id hope to be if I ever had children.

    Lena DunhamSimply meeting Lena once changed my idea of what a successful woman in film is. She is warm and approachable and completely unarmed. Shes excitable and childlike, all the while running a set of hundreds of people and creating one of the most exciting and intelligent portrayals of young women on television. Lesson: powerful women do not have to act masculine or cold in order to get things done. Powerful women can be huggers who name their dog Lamby and make flower crowns in their free time.

    Este, Alana and Danielle Haim

    I never had sisters, and I always wondered what

    that would feel like. Moments after meeting the

    Haim sisters, I started to feel what it must be like.

    They made me feel like one of them immediately and before long, it was daily hangs, group texts, and

    vacations together. It turns out life is much more fun

    in a sisterhood!

  • You cant think of the 80s without thinking of Katharine Hamnetts iconic, 1983 slogan tees. As much an activist as a designer, her stark black on white graphics and succinct protest pleas

    Ban Pollution, Save The Whales, Education Not Missiles bucked the more is more, kaleidoscopic trends of the time and tapped into the mood of angry 80s youth. But when Wham! wore her Choose Life design in their Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go video, one of the biggest moments in pop was made. This month, Hamnett launches an updated range, in association with the Pesticide Action Network (PAN), which promotes sustainable alternatives to poisonous pesticides worldwide. Katharine, always a trailblazer, has supported them since 1989 and now we can while wearing her designs. Alongside the Choose Life original, theres Clean Up Or Die and Save Life On Earth and a special yellow Save The Bees tee for kids. Adult tees cost 30, and 5 from each sale goes to PAN. katharinehamnett.com

    6AM Im an early riser and dont need an alarm as Ive trained my body so well that it wakes up at six anyway. I live in central London, so wake up to the sound of people jogging past my window which makes me feel like I should be doing something or on their way to work, which means Im running late. 6.30AM I have a protein shake and check my emails and then walk to the gym. I do 30 minutes of running while listening to something shouty, like Marmozets, to wake my body up and then I do weights, before a sauna and steam. 9.50AM Back home to pick up my scripts and walk to rehearsals, which are just round the corner. I grab a coffee before we start with half an hour of vocal and physical warm-ups, and then whatever scene or song needs to be done on the day. Were currently finishing act one of Bend It Like Beckham. 1PM Break for lunch, where Im usually furiously learning the scene for the next part of the day while eating a healthy lunch like soup from the local caf. 2PM In the afternoons we tend to go through scenes, rather than big musical numbers. I play the romantic guy in the show [football coach, Joe] so Im nice, rather than an arsehole, which is a change for me. Im constantly checking Twitter during quiet moments; its a bit of an addiction. 6PM I head home for half an hour before going to band practice with my band, The Darling Buds. Its a wonder my voice can take all the singing at the moment! Im writing with some great songwriters now, so well have an EP out soon. 10PM I grab dinner from Feng Sushi on the way home (I cook more at weekends) and listen to Radio 4 or a radio drama app where Ill find something scary to listen to while I fall asleep. Weirdly, it doesnt affect my sleep at all Im usually asleep by 11 or 12. 4AM I get a wake-up call from some drunk guys singing Jolene at the top of their lungs outside my window. 6AM Up again. My life is currently one long revolving door.

  • A few years ago, I was at a dinner party. There were around eight of us. Beef Wellington, I think it was. All was going swimmingly until two things happened... one

    member of the party mentioned she was a Christian, and I got very drunk. BOOM! As a drunk atheist, this was irresistible for me. I swooped straight in with the, BUT WHAT ABOUT SCIENCE?! argument, and the entire night turned into a heated debate about faith. I beat down any suggestion that God is real, and the lovely Christian girl did her best to defend what she believed in. I woke up the next morning feeling terrible for picking a fight with someone who didnt ask for it.

    There are a lot of religious people in my life, such as my Catholic in-laws and my dear friend Carrie, who is a Christian. And despite my own strong feelings against religion, the idea of anyone challenging them at a dinner party over what they believe in makes me so angry. Yet, there I was, doing exactly that to someone else. What a dick!

    More recently, I was walking in LA, when I saw a homeless man who had laid out ten little red bowls. Above each, hed written signs listing religions from atheism to Hinduism. There was another sign that said, Which religion cares more about homeless people? The bowls were all empty bar one: atheist. I took a picture and posted it on Instagram, knowing some people would cheer, and others would be offended. I did it to be deliberately provocative, because I think in comparison to formal religions, atheism gets a lot less airtime. There is no day of the week dedicated to it, no TV programme where people sing about it. It makes me more determined to provoke debate on the subject of faith, because I want non-believers to feel equal and valued, but this can end up with me pushing my atheism onto others. Which I guess is kind of hypocritical.

    As Ive said, a few glasses of wine was all it took to set me off at that dinner party. Theres nothing wrong with healthy debate about belief Carrie and I had just that in GLAMOUR last year but very few individuals deserve to be attacked about their beliefs and have to defend them at

    DAWN OPORTER HONESTLY

    Pushing my atheism is no better than people

    a social gathering. Ive been that dick, and Ive since seen other dicks do the same. No one will ever be argued out of their faith, just as Ill never be argued out of mine, so all those battles do is ruin a nice evening.

    My atheism is important to me its what I believe, that there is no God. That doesnt mean I dont have a belief system quite the contrary. My belief that there is no life after death is pivotal to the way I live. I make the most of the time I have here on Earth, because I dont think there is anything beyond this existence. I want to die knowing I made the most of it, and that affects almost everything I do in the same way that for a Christian, say, whether they end up in Heaven or Hell inspires the way they live their life. My lack of belief in God is a faith in itself; faith in myself to make the most of my life. Its as much of a driving force as any religion. I dont like it when its dismissed as not being important. But I have to respect the fact that people who do believe value their faith in God as much as I value my faith that there isnt one. With that in mind, if theres to be a dick at the next dinner party I go to, it wont be me.

    It gets awkward, really awkward

    I hooked up with a colleague after a night out and ended up back at his. Thing is, I hadnt planned on getting naked with anyone and was wearing really old, beige granny pants. I hid them in his laundry bin, planning to get them in the morning. But, hungover the next day, we set off for work together and it was only when I got to my desk that I remembered. To his credit, he never mentioned it. But we never hooked up again. Emma, 30

    Id been dating my co-worker for six months, wed said I love you and Id met his family. One day, our manager told us it was company policy for employees to declare a relationship with a colleague. I was about to say, Fine, no problem, when he piped up: Well, this isnt serious, its just a fling. We dont need to declare it. I was gobsmacked and told him where he could shove his fling. Jessica, 28

    When I was a lifeguard, I really fancied my shift partner and it was mutual. After the pool closed, we had to hose down the shower cubicles. One night, he pulled me into a cubicle and we kissed. My heart was racing, until he took off his shorts and I saw that his pubic hair was shaved into a lightning bolt. I couldnt help it I started laughing, and he stormed out. But seriously, a lightning bolt? Amy, 27

    My boyfriend worked at the same firm as me, until he was made redundant. Our relationship was in a bad place already and this made it ten times worse. In a drunken rage one night, he opened my work laptop and sent an expletive-ridden email to the whole company from my address, saying he hoped the business folded and everyone lost their jobs. Luckily the boss believed it wasnt me, but my (now) ex didnt even have the decency to confess. Mary, 33

    An overnight conference was the perfect opportunity for me and my office crush to finally seal the deal after months of increasingly heated flirting. Sure enough, I got a knock on my hotel door after everyone had gone to bed and the sex was just as good as Id hoped. A little too good, perhaps: a rap on the wall and a stern, Keep it down startled us. Especially as it was unmistakably the voice of our boss, who Id had no idea was in the room next door. I actually wore sunglasses on the coach home because I couldnt bear the thought of making eye contact with her. Sorrel, 31

    At my last job, we had a really hot bicycle courier. I worked on reception and wed always have a flirty chat. He asked me on a date and I was so chuffed, but he turned out to be a douchebag: self-obsessed and arrogant. He texted to ask for a second date, but I politely declined, saying I didnt feel a spark. Next day, I got to my desk to find an A4 piece of paper stuck to my computer, saying Fuck you. Clearly he hadnt taken it well. Hannah, 29

    First dates are daunting. If only you could take your friends, right? Well, you can

    with Smeeters, the social club that pairs two groups of existing friends and sends you on a date, together. Experts believe it has the potential to produce more compatible partners than traditional dating sites. How? Your friends will act like a catalyst to increase your confidence and provide emotional intelligence to help validate your choices, says relationship psychologist Dr Arthur Cassidy. Moral support and a second opinion? Sounds like a win-win.

    THE CONCEPTThe Smeeters team use your Facebook account and a few bespoke questions to match

    both groups. Once youve chosen the day and London location (Birmingham and Manchester can soon get Smeeting too), invite your pals (I took my friends Esther and Rasha), pay the 15, which includes a free drink, and youll get a confirmation email saying where and when to meet. Theyll also ask for three statements about yourself, two true and one false, to act as an icebreaker. THE DATEWe arrived at south London cocktail bar The King Of Ladies Man and were shortly joined by three male professionals, complete with slicked-back hair and Oxford shirts. Good-looking, but not my type, except for maybe Alex the tall one with the South American accent. After initial

    chit-chat about how we knew each other (us university, them work), we moved on to the icebreaker game. The guys had forgotten to fill in their statements, but were amused by my stellar table tennis skills and Esthers music video gig. As the drinks flowed, they got progressively more laddish: making in-jokes about colleagues and ordering rounds of shots. By my third (and final) margarita, I noticed how easy it felt, with no awkward first-date silences, but also not much room in our crowded booth for pairing off. My two friends also thought Alex was cute and while there was definite eyelash batting, both decided not to take it further. At the end of the night, I swapped digits with Will, the most likable of the three.

    THE VERDICTWill and I got on well enough to follow up with a one-on-one coffee date, but thats as far as it went. And thats OK because, for me, the experience served a different purpose: it took the dating game back to square one. After the same old algorithms of digital dating and match and runs, I had forgotten how refreshing meeting people IRL can be. The mystery element of a blind date brings back that sense of fun, and if the whole thing is a total washout, who cares? Its something to laugh about with your friends. Ultimately, the odds are in your favour three potential matches are, after all, better than one, and even if you dont meet the one, you may end up with a few more friends.

    FIRST DATES made easy

    WHAT THE GUYS THOUGHT WHAT THE GIRLS THOUGHT

    IT TAKES AWAY THAT PRESSURE OF SHALL WE GO AND CHAT TO THOSE GIRLS

    OVER THERE? Will, 29

    Organised fun

    isnt my bag,

    but its great to

    have your mates

    Alex, 27

    Say hello to Smeeting the blind dates you do with your wingwomen. Delphine Chui gives it a try

    It was hard to focus my attention on one of the girls without seeming rude. James, 31

    IT WAS HASSLE-FREE AND

    I LOVED NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE CHOICE OF

    VENUE. Rasha, 26

    As much as I love

    sharing experiences

    with my friends, Im

    not convinced dating

    is one of them.

    We know what a stale romance feels like,

    but when it comes to friendship fatigue, how do we spice things up? Sociologists at Manchester University recently revealed that platonic friendships regularly become stressful, infuriating and even damaging, yet we cling to them because women find it more traumatic to break up with a friend than with a lover. But you dont need to ditch your friends with the right tools, a make-do-and-mend approach can revolutionise your social life.

    SHE PSYCHO BABBLESYouve grown out of obsessing about texts from guys and second-guessing what your boss meant by that email. But your friend hasnt, and youre sick of playing sounding board.Fix it When it comes to support, no one expects a friendship to be equal every minute of the day, explains Florence Isaacs, author of Toxic Friends, True Friends. But you can explain that her overthinking makes you paranoid. Suggest that it might not be healthy by saying: I find that the less I obsess about work, the better I do. Shall we make a pact to obsess less? Or make certain topics off-limits: OK, this stress is doing you no good. Im taking you out on Saturday,

    Need a FRIENDSHIP reboot?Its time to spring clean your social life and shake things up

    but were banning Mark and your boss from the conversation.

    YOURE THE NANNYYoure not sure how it happened, but youre unofficially the mum of the group. You spend ages choosing the restaurant, you divvy up the bill on your phone and, argh, are you seriously the only person with a cab number? Fix it Every group needs a leader, but it can feel demanding if you never take a break, says Leila Collins, psychologist and principal lecturer at Middlesex University. And your friends may have no idea this bothers you. Let

    them know. Try emailing: Im super busy at work this week can someone else arrange dinner on Friday?

    SHES MOVED ONShe was your partner in crime, but now, suddenly, shes all grown up. Maybe she got married, had a baby or bagged a high-flying job and you feel as if you have nothing in common. Fix it I realised that being with my married-with-two-kids friend reminded me how un-sorted my own life was, says Angie, 27, a massage therapist. How to handle it? Embrace your differences. She might love the thrill of Tinder-dating vicariously

    through you, and you can get an insight into parenthood, says Isaacs.

    YOURE IN A RUTJesse and I bonded over our evil boss and began hanging out, says Louise, 25, a trainee vet. But when we meet up, all we seem to do is bitch. Fix it Sliding into fail-safe conversations or shared grievances is a common trap, says Andrew G Marshall, author of Build A Life-Long Love Affair: Seven Steps To Revitalising Your Relationship. He suggests a shared activity approach anything practical, such as a gym session. Doing something side by side gives you something new to talk about, so you have a more bonding encounter.

    SHES FLAKYIts not unusual for you to get two Sorry, babes! cancellation texts in a week. Youre starting to feel like the only mug in the world who actually sticks to plans. Fix it Theres no other option but brutal honesty, says Naomi, 31, an art teacher. My friend was flabbergasted when I said, I love you, but when you cancel last-minute or turn up late, youre saying that my time is less important than yours. Our friendship wont survive much longer. Honestly, its transformed our social lives as we now both keep to our word.

    Stop MICROMANAGING lifeTrying to control everything is a losing game. Heres how to loosen your grip

    Theres nothing wrong with being on top of your game, but the line between organised and control freak is razor thin. People who micromanage are efficient, but they often need power over every detail

    of life and thats impossible, says life coach Sloan Sheridan-Williams. Issues with control stem from anxiety: If I dont finish this task, Ill get fired; If I dont organise a catch-up, my friends will ditch me. Trying to control situations, and other people, instead of targeting your own irrational thinking, can end in high stress levels and damaged relationships. The good news? You can rein it in.

    DITCH THE EGODo the one thing youd never imagine and put a friend or colleague in charge of a project, party or trip. If you micromanage every detail of a plan, you will end up getting in your own way, says Carson Tate, author of Work Simply. Things will go more smoothly if you let someone else help. Sure, youll do a great job, but so will others. Give someone else the chance to shine and enjoy how good it feels to share the spotlight, adds Tate. Once you see it all works out, without your intervention, youll get more comfortable with handing over responsibility.

    TAKE A REALITY CHECKTraffic, train cancellations and long queues are your worst nightmare. Avoid the meltdown by putting things in perspective. Next time youre in the longest supermarket queue ever, remind yourself that simply being in a shop and having money to buy delicious food, that you are going to eat later with great friends, is not hell, says therapist Marisa Peer. There is no hell in a supermarket, having friends over is not stressful and your mum phoning in the middle of everything is not torture.

    PUSH YOUR BOUNDARIES If you need certainty and routine to feel stable and safe, practise being spontaneous in a playful context by doing something new and fun. Try a new gym class, go for lunch by yourself or take a drive at the weekend and

    see where you end up. Doing something small that pushes you out of your comfort zone is the key to letting go, says Sheridan-Williams. Doing this on a regular basis creates a pattern of behaviour where you learn to recognise that not being in control 24/7, and going with the flow, wont end in disaster.

    CHALLENGE THE THOUGHTRemind yourself of this simple fact: there is no such thing as complete control. You cant control the weather, the traffic or even yourself, because if you could, you would never get a cold, says Peer. The only things we can control are our thoughts, and once you control your way of thinking, you have all the control you will ever need. Dont let those runaway thoughts rule you. Face them head on and ask: wheres the proof that if this plan goes differently, it will be a catastrophe? Remember those mind traps are an interpretation of your fear, not a reflection of reality, or the future.

    ANSWER HOW ARE

    YOU? HONESTLY

    Give a real answer in one sentence. Something like, Im a little stressed because Im house-hunting, says Debra Fine, author of The Fine Art Of Small Talk. Its short and sweet, but gives them something more to ask you about. An automatic, Good, thanks tends to shut the conversation down.

    APPLY THE RULE OF TWO

    When someone asks you a question, even a straightforward one such as, Where do you live?, add in two extra details, says conversation expert Rob Kendall. So I live in Newcastle becomes, I live in Newcastle with

    theyre being heard. When were uncomfortable, we become silent listeners, but people need to know you want them to continue, explains Fine. Keep nodding to encourage them.

    MATCH THE SPEED

    OF THEIR VOICE

    Like copying someones body language, it unconsciously builds a rapport, says communication coach Judy Apps. Try to speak at roughly the same volume, too. Its subtle, but will help the conversation flow better.

    EXPAND THE COMPLIMENT

    Giving praise is flattering, but it can be hard for people to respond to. Instead, Saying, Great speech were you nervous? Or, I love your jacket wheres it from? shows they dont have to immediately compliment you back which can feel false, says Rhodes. Also, if theyre flustered by the compliment, they can choose to ignore it and focus on the question.

    BAT IT BACK

    Awkward silence? Dont freak out. If your minds gone totally blank, remember the last thing they said and repeat it, almost like a question, says Apps. For example, if someone tells you they love hip hop and you cant think of anything to say, just say, Oh, youre into hip hop? and theyll naturally start explaining more.

    PHRASE YOUR EXIT RIGHT

    Want to get away? Use I need phrases when ending a conversation: I need to go and speak to, I need to shoot off It implies that you would carry on talking if you could, so it doesnt feel like a snub, says Fine.

    Theres a five-second window when someone first comes into your space to strike up

    a conversation, says Rhodes. It doesnt matter what you say. People are just grateful that youve made the first move. Youve got three options:Situational How do you know Ed and Jen? Observational Wow, that wedding cake is huge!Advice-based Do you think the DJ is taking requests?

    CONVERSATION STARTERS

    Mirroring How are things? Not bad. How about you? Yeah, not bad either.

    Yep, youre in a conversational cul-de-sac.Topping Oh, thats nothing. When I... Youre dismissing their story.Matching Dont interrupt someone to share a similar story. Let them finish first.

    It makes 65% of us feel uncomfortable, so

    consider this your conversation cheat sheet

    Have you

    booked your

    holiday this

    year?

    my sister, near the quayside. Now they have two new lines of enquiry.

    ASK FOR STORIES,

    NOT ANSWERS

    Small talk is about giving people opportunities to share anecdotes, says Mark Rhodes, author of How To Talk To Absolutely Anyone. Weave in open-ended questions with superlatives: What was the best part of your honeymoon? What was the craziest thing you saw at the festival?

    REMEMBER TO BACKCHANNEL

    This means tapping into the little noises and words you make (uh-huh, really?, yeah) to let someone know

    BOOST your BUM

    Shapely bottoms have hit the

    big time. Sculpt a rounder

    rear, at home or the gym,

    with these expert moves

    Glutes are the largest muscles and the foundation to all fitness, says LA trainer

    Gunnar Peterson. If you dont train them, youll burn less fat. But theyre complex. The secret? Big, explosive, multi-joint movements (like jumping or stepping up) and working laterally (sideways), adds A-list trainer Harley Pasternak. I use these moves with all my celeb clients, including Kim K. For each one, do four sets of 20 reps, resting for ten seconds in between. In four weeks, youll see a perkier bum.

    Targets Thighs and bottom.Try it Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand, by your sides. Tense your bum

    muscles and bend forward as far as you can from your hips, like a hinge, keeping your back really straight. Let the weights hang pause then return to the starting stance. This works the hamstrings, which start from your sitting bones (ischial tuberosity) and tie in with the glutes to tone the bottom of your butt, says Pasternak.Beginners Start without weights and focus on not arching your back as you bend. Fitties Upgrade from light dumbbells to a barbell with 5-10kg weights.

    Targets Core, thighs and bottom.Try it Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. With your right leg, step back and across your body, dropping your

    right knee behind your left heel. Then return to your starting position and step your left leg back and across your body, dropping your left knee behind your right heel. Keep alternating legs. Moving laterally like this hits hard-to-reach glute muscles, says Pasternak.Beginners Take 20 seconds between sets.Fitties Leap instead of stepping.

    Targets Thighs, hips and bottom.Try it Stand with a bench or chair on your right and step up onto the bench with your right foot. Bring your left

    foot up to meet your right, then step over and onto the ground on the opposite side. Reverse to the start thats one rep. It hits the point where your butt and thighs meet, which helps tone and lift, explains Pasternak.Beginners Start with three sets.Fitties Hold 4kg dumbbells.

    Targets Lower back, thighs and bottom.Try it Lie on your back, hands by your sides, knees bent,

    feet shoulder-width apart. Push through your heels, lifting your hips up as high as you can, while keeping your back straight and bum muscles clenched. Hold for five seconds, then slowly return. This builds a more rounded shape, as it strengthens your whole backside, says Pasternak.Beginners Remember to keep your heels close to your bum. Fitties Do it one-legged: raise one leg up off the ground, either bent at 90 or straight up towards the ceiling.

    CAREER

    EXPERIENCE

    I started playing the flute aged nine. I had a really good teacher who recognised my

    talent and pushed me forward. I didnt go to a private music school, so getting into the Royal College was a big deal. At first

    I was intimidated students practised eight hours a day, but I liked partying too much!

    I was later voted in as Social Secretary.

    When my degree finished, I got a temporary job at Sadlers Wells Theatre.

    It was basic admin work, but I saw it as an opportunity, and two months later they

    offered me a programming assistant role. There were only six of us running the place, but I soaked up everything to do with press

    nights and handling artists contracts.

    LUCYS LIFE LESSONS

    In 2009 I funded and released my own album (a Latin/jazz fusion), something Im really proud of. Ive never wanted to do the flute thing full time I love organising events and having a 9-5 meant I could perform with artists such as Heather Small, without worrying about where my next paycheck was coming from.

    While studying, I worked as a steward at the Royal Albert Hall, where I showed people to their seats and got to sit in on the shows. I remember looking up at Nelson Mandela during a 1996 concert held in his honour, and thinking, Im so lucky to be experiencing this.

    1995-1999 BA in Music (Hons),

    Royal College of Music

    Lucy, 40, is director of events at the Royal Albert Hall and a professional flautist. She organises world premieres, including

    this summers Breakfast At Tiffanys, set to a live score

    IMG approached me and offered me a job looking after performers like Darcey Bussell when they were on tour. It wasnt glamorous I was in charge of booking travel, making sure the artists hotel fridge was at the right temperature and ensuring the costumes and production equipment arrived on time. It wasnt for me I missed the intimacy of working in a venue.

    The sales team at the Royal Albert Hall

    was undergoing a shake-up, so I got

    in touch. They offered me the job of lettings

    manager. In 2004, I was promoted to programming manager and, in 2008, head of programming and

    education. I helped set up a music workshop where children learn how to write

    songs alongside artists like Jake Bugg.

    Earlier this year I was made director, a position that gives me autonomy over who

    comes to perform at the hall. Its an insanely busy job, and juggling it with being a mum of two girls means I no longer have

    time to play the flute professionally.

    HOW I GOT HERE

    Have confidence

    in your abilities, but if you dont understand something, just ask.

    It never hurts to be over-prepared. When performing to crowds of 3,000, I learnt each piece by heart in order to conquer my nerves. I reckon the same goes if youre giving a work presentation.

    Have fun. Music isnt always about following the rules, and I like to think Ive retained a laid-back attitude to my work.

    Love Youre in a dilemma: you want intimacy and commitment, but at the same time youre scared of losing your freedom. How do you balance the two? Talking to a friend whos been there and done that will help you figure it out.

    Work Positive feedback is important to you and you dont feel your efforts are being appreciated. Second-guessing what your boss thinks of you is pointless. Ask for a meeting and be ready to highlight your hard work.

    Friends You love your friends, but it feels like your social circle could do with some new additions. With Uranus in your friendship zone, its the perfect opportunity to seek out new pals: hang out with people who will push you out of your comfort zone, in a good way.

    Money A financial wake-up call on the 10th fuels your desire to get saving. It might feel like an uphill struggle at first, but putting something away every month however small it may seem will add up in the end.

    Your year ahead Success at work in the summer brings out a jealous streak in a colleague dont let it distract you. Love takes a front seat in November and around the 25th, an honest conversation proves to be a game-changer. Movement in your home zone comes at the start of the new year and the suns eclipse in March reveals your true friends. Early next year, career opportunities emerge and youre asked to lead a project. Show them what youve got.

  • Cancer(June 23 July 23)

    Whether its colleagues, family or friends, you cant keep the peace when theyre spoiling for a fight. But you refuse to take sides. Events

    around the 11th will knock some sense into them. Meanwhile, a lover is feeling insecure ask

    them what they need to feel reassured.

    Leo(July 24 August 23)

    Youre not one to beat around the bush, but a sensitive situation at work requires tact.

    This is one time when treading carefully is the best thing to do. Keep your diary free

    on the 10th for a last-minute invitation that you wont want to miss.

    Virgo (August 24 September 23)

    A career move is logical, but liking the people you work with matters just as much. Mull over what, and who, is right for you before

    committing to anything. A domestic situation that seemed settled could unravel around the 15th

    have a back-up plan at the ready, just in case.

    Libra (September 24 October 23)

    A friend is feeling taken for granted, so show them that you care by making time for them

    and doing something fun together. The last week of the month is a busy one, when plans for

    a foreign trip spring to life and an important work project accelerates suddenly. Buckle up.

    Scorpio (October 24 November 22)

    An old friend or ex-lover gets in touch, but it doesnt mean you have to meet up with them stay away

    if you know theyll cause more trouble than its worth. Talking through your secret career ambition

    with someone who has lots of experience really spurs you on, and they help you to see how

    your dream job can become a reality.

    The full moon on the 2nd empowers you to give your honest opinion it might make someone bristle, but youve

    got to get it off your chest. Elsewhere, a lucky line-up of Jupiter and Uranus means youre in the right place

    at the right time for an exciting opportunity.

    Capricorn (December 23 January 19)

    A relationship thats just beginning is full of promise. Could they be a keeper? Introducing them to your friends will help you decide. If youre coupled up

    already, make sure you have some one-on-one time among your social plans. At work, checking the small

    print on a contract or order is vital.

    Aquarius (January 20 February 19)

    After all the ups and downs, a romantic relationship hits a sweet spot and youre feeling loved-up. Free-spirited Jupiter lets impulse take over around the 23rd and an impromptu road trip or holiday could be on the cards.

    Pisces (February 20 March 20)

    Midsummers Day on the 24th brings an intriguing money-making opportunity and inspires your

    entrepreneurial spirit. Someone takes an interest in you romantically and lets every know about it.

    Aries(March 21 April 20)

    Work needs you but you need a break; if your weekend or a holiday is under threat, be clear with colleagues that youre not available 24/7. Theyll respect you for it. After the 24th, make sure your home is ship-shape for when

    you have to host a family event or put up a relative.

    Taurus(April 21 May 21)

    The new moon on the 16th makes it easy to talk about a tricky issue, so schedule any awkward conversations for

    then. If youre considering a big purchase whether its a place to live or a major wardrobe investment

    its quality that counts, so do your homework. G

    But real men want you to

    text them back. Honestly.

    The way you can tell the

    boys from the men is how

    they react when you dont

    play games with them.

    A boy will become bored.

    A man will want to get to

    know you more. Everyone

    wants a challenge, but

    you shouldnt have to

    completely manipulate your

    communication style in

    order to seem like one.

    Your conversation, your

    outlook, your wit, your

    accomplishments, your

    charisma, those things

    should challenge him. Any

    MAN knows that if youre

    showing him all of

    these qualities, you

    could just as easily

    show them to

    someone else if he

    plays games. You

    know what they

    say, play games

    with a girl, shell

    chase you. Play games with

    a woman, shell replace you.

    Boys only want love if its torture

    The lessons Ive learned

    and how they empower me

    Were encouraged to document everything important that happens to us. Birthdays, proposals, babys first this or that, crazy nights out when everyones outfit is on point. Its cool, we

    all do it. What gets tricky is when something great happens and you didnt capture it, then you feel this sense of loss. That sense of loss and anxiety that you didnt get to your phone fast enough then completely overtakes the magic of the moment that just took place. So lately, Ive learned to really live my life, and not worry so much about documenting every split second of it. The most magical, exquisite, spontaneous things happen when there is no time to grab your phone. The best moments of my life have been too fragile, too fleeting, too magical to

    even try to document them with a camera. And I wish you a lifetime of moments too beautiful to capture on film.

    Some moments are for Instagram, some are just for the moment itself

    The most magical things happen when

    theres no time to grab your phone

    Im excited about my life and your side-eye glances wont change that

    Being single for the last few years has allowed me to watch all of the people in my life go through their relationship ups and downs and really be there for them. In being everyones shoulder to cry on, go-to girl to vent to, and confidante, I learned a lot about what I would do if I ever were to jump back into the treacherous waters of Love and Dating. I realised that my friends who had found solid relationships had usually found them with people who didnt initially need them, it started out as just a want. These people had already gotten their lives to a place where they didnt feel like there were any missing pieces, then they met someone and all of a sudden made room in their already great lives for somebody great to love. Then there are friends of mine who had ended up in dramatic, complex places with their partner because there was not enough want and too much need in the relationship from the very start. I know its impossible to generalise relationships because every one is different, but I think if I were to ever let someone into my life, it wouldnt be someone who made me feel like I was filling some gaping void in his life. It would be someone who was happy with his life but just really wanted me to be in it.

    Ive always been an easily excitable person. I am also easily hurt, but thats another story for another time. Lets just say Im easily moved. A few years ago, I realised that being easily moved isnt necessarily normal in my line of work, or in this cynical world we live in. There were viral YouTube videos of all the times Id won awards, and how shocked I looked. Thats when the Taylor Swift Surprise Face joke was born. At first, I didnt know how to process being made fun of for being stoked about REALLY exciting accomplishments. It seems like people become jaded faster than ever these days, and in an effort to appear cool, people in my profession and everywhere else I look have taken to trying to seem bored all the time. Unmoved, unfazed, chic, edgy. Let me just clarify something: being a pop artist is a VERY exciting, INCREDIBLY fun thing to do. So over time, I just realised that it doesnt matter if people make fun of me for dancing at award shows, or seeing a cute dog on the street, or the fact that its autumn, or if I see a 13 on a building. Be who you are, and if who you are is a slightly awkward, very excitable person who sometimes cries when they see little girls dressed in princess dresses at the mall, then BE THAT!

    I dont need you, but I want you

    My Surprised Face in action

  • LIFESTYLE An English teacher during the week and an avid kite surfer on the weekend, Sophie leads a super-active lifestyle. She spends hours in the sun out on the water. I know the sun is bad for my skin. I do worry about getting dark spots and wrinkles, but I dont want to stop doing the sport I love. WHY I LOVE THE SUN Kite surfing is all about being out in the elements. Its just you and the sun, the wind and the

    Theres nothing like that feeling of golden, sun-kissed summer skin. But going red, feeling dry and the threat of premature ageing means

    we all reach for the sun hat and slap on that thick suncream like its nobodys business. And, of course, enjoying the sun responsibly is the right thing to do, but everyones skin is different and so shouldnt your suncare be too? We checked in with three GLAMOUR girls to find out what they want from their summer skin regime. The answer? A very high SPF (were talking 50+) for protection from damaging UVA and UVB rays, but also a product thats a part of their actual beauty regime. Well, with the Ideal Soleil range from Vichy all our summer prayers have been answered. Each product in the range is individually suited to a specific skin type. Top this off with long-lasting hydration, legendary Vichy Thermal Spa Water and anti-aging elements, and your beauty and suncare routines roll seamlessly into one. Result.

Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it glides onto the skin, providing instant moisturising protection. Perfect for skin that needs moisture and an SPF all in one.

She started doing yoga four years ago on a trip to Bali, and now she is a holistic lifestyle addict, looking after her skin and body. Her mantra is, This is the only skin youve got, so youd better look after it. WHY I LOVE THE SUN As soon as summer hits, I offer classes on roof terraces and in gardens. Youre getting fit and absorbing vitamin D at the same time, so you get an extra mood boost.
