INTERVIEW
When did you start your body transformation? My body-transformation started very late. I was always a volleyball player and used to run a lot. And one day I was training in a gym in Holland when a personal trainer appoached me when he saw me training. This guy was a successful body-builder and asked me if he could train me. At that time I had a bikini-body but he said that with good training and eating I could become a successful bikini-fitness model. This was in 2016. I decided to give it a try. What keeps you motivated? My motivation really comes from within myself. The great thing about this sport is that you can see the result in the mirror. When you work hard you see the result. And that automatically motivates you to work harder. It also makes you feel good about yourself, gives you confidence. And in the end it just becomes a way of life.

Out of all the beach-ready fashions, no garment offers versatility quite like the sarong skirt. In fact, the twisted, ruched, and tied design inspired several polished runway looks. Brandon Maxwell gave us a sarong skirt in a sophisticated pinstripe, Tory Burch delivered a dreamy shimmering version, and Johanna Ortiz interpreted the silhouette in a botanic print. It all confirms that the easy-going beach look can effortlessly come along for the ride for dressier occasions too. It would seem a refined take on the sarong skirt is just the item our closets need right now—a moment when we’re looking to bring comfort into our postquarantine lives in an elevated way. The skirt can make an effortless yet polished statement at a summer barbecue or a weekend brunch. And even if you’re headed back to the office, there are options that mimic the silhouette of a pencil skirt—like Nanushka’s high-waisted design, which pairs well with crisp buttondown blouses. If you’re intrigued by the versatile wardrobe hero, you’ll find the best reemergence-worthy sarong skirts to wear all summer long, below.

After breaking the internet last week with the announcement of her surprise wedding to real estate agent Dalton Gomez, Ariana Grande could wrap up May with a well-deserved vacation to bask in newlywed bliss. However, as one of pop’s leading ladies, Grande is dedicated to her craft and doesn’t miss an opportunity to delight her fans with a performance. Last night at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles, she reunited with frequent collaborator, The Weeknd, for a special performance of their hit ‘Save Your Tears.’ She dazzled the audience in head-to-toe purple pieces from British label Rat and Boa, which were simple, elegant, and surprisingly affordable. Priced at just $85 for the top and $125 for the skirt, the look was accessible to many of the star’s millions of fans—if they could snag it before it sold out. Great outfits combine high and low, so Grande and stylist Mimi Cuttrell incorporated a few luxe accessories to spice things up. The halter neck top, with its ring detail and flowing wrap skirt, were complemented by Stuart Weitzman’s towering sandals. Though her Anita Ko diamond chokers and matching zipper earrings were stunning, the jewelry that commanded the most attention was Grande’s pearl and diamond engagement ring, designed by Gomez.

Kate Middleton just channeled Princess Diana in the most touching way. On May 24, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge—who are referred to as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn while in Scotland—continued their tour of the country with a visit to Turning Point Scotland’s center in Coatbridge. Middleton looked stunning in an all-blue ensemble: a double-breasted Zara blazer with a perfectly matched pleated skirt by the U.K. brand Hope, per People. However, the duchess didn't look just beautiful; she looked familiar. On September 9, 1992, Princess Diana wore practically the exact same outfit. Albeit with a more modern silhouette, Middleton's monochrome look also featured gold buttons and a pleated skirt that lands below the knee. The only difference we could spot was that Middleton swapped out blue heels for nude pumps and added a COVID-19-friendly face mask. Take a look: While Kate Middleton has often worn looks matching or inspired by her mother-in-law—we even have an entire gallery of them—this reference was particularly touching, given her husband's recent speech at the Church of Scotland. On May 22, Prince William opened up about his mother's death during a moving address about his connection to the country. “Scotland is the source of some of my happiest memories. But also my saddest,” Prince William said, according to Entertainment Tonight. “I was at Balmoral [Castle] when I was told my mother had died. Still in shock, I found sanctuary in the service at Crathie Kirk that very morning. And in the dark days of grief that followed, I found comfort and solace in the Scottish outdoors. As a result, the connection I feel to Scotland will forever run deep.” But Scotland is also where Prince William met his wife at St. Andrews, where they both attended college. “And yet alongside this painful memory is one of great joy. Because it was here in Scotland—20 years ago this year—that I first met Catherine,” he said. “Needless to say, the town where you meet your future wife holds a very special place in your heart. George, Charlotte, and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us, and they are starting to build their own happy memories here too. We have no doubt they will grow up sharing our love and connection to Scotland from the Highlands to the Central Belt, from the Islands to the Borders.”

MAA Releases New Photographs Of Istanbul's Supertall TV And Radio Tower As The Tower Opens In Spring

ARCHITECTURE
MAA - Melike Altinisik Architects, led by Melike Altinisik, has released new photographs of Istanbul's futuristic supertall TV and Radio Tower, the hotlyanticipated project has been completed and has started its main telecommunication functions in November 2020. Set to be opened to the public in late Spring, a set of latest images shows details from interiors of the tower and different perspectives in the landscape within it is situated. Reaching at 369 meters in total, the tower, photographed by London-based architectural photography studio NAARO, reveals that how its rippling form creates a sense of motion and rhythm within its silhouette that changes when viewed from different directions around Istanbul. On the top of the tower, a two-storey restaurant and observation deck, situated within the top 13 levels, will provide a 360-degree view across Asia to Europe. The project will also host a public foyer, café, exhibition and mediatic areas inside the entrance podium. Designed with an organic structure, which is not familiar within the urban fabric of Istanbul, the key design principle of design is to reflect these inputs like wind direction, local topography, and the sceneries in the form of the tower. "Its architectural formations combine elegance and beauty with math and geometry, whose innovative concept allows inhabitable spaces to be attached to the whole of the tower’s core," said MAA in its project description. During construction, in a such a unique design, "the construction required advanced engineering techniques both in terms of architectural design and construction methodology," as the team of MAA highlighted. The interior design of follows the traces of the same, outer architectural language and character of the project. Rippling surfaces span the entrance foyer, while these surfaces partly become ceiling, partly become furniture. MAA said that "the interior design was developed based on the fact that the building includes unique spaces that offer a new experience and contain futuristic design characters." "The main purpose is to create surprising encounters by establishing strong relationships with where it is located, using light, nature, and spatial spaces; so that it may change people’s perspective, and courage them think differently," the studio continued.
Not going out? It's Time To Clean Your Hair And Makeup Tools

How to clean your heat tools and hair brushes Products like heat-protectors and serums build up on flat irons and curlers and affect their performance. Before you even think about cleaning your hot tool, first make sure it’s turned off, unplugged, and completely cooled down. Then, use warm water and gentle soap to get all the build-up off. Alcohol-based wipes can help ensure that the plates or the rod are totally cleansed—think of it as double cleansing for your hair tools.
Hairbrushes and combs have leftover entangled hair, and product buildup too. If there are too many entangled hair strands on your brush, you can first cut them off with scissors. “Take a big dish of water and add a few drops of disinfecting hand wash and soak the brushes for some time. Take a toothbrush and deep clean the bristles to remove extra hairspray, conditioners and dirt,” says celebrity hair and makeup artist Arti Nayar. If you use a tool to brush through oily strands or a thick serum, a shampoo's surfactants could really break it all down and allow you to rinse all the gunk off. Your blow dryer might not seem like it needs a deep-clean, but it definitely does. The dust that accumulates in the blow dryer's fan can cause the tool to overheat. To clean out the built-up dust, use a pair of tweezers to pull out as much s you can, and then wipe along the grid with a damp washcloth. How to clean your makeup brushes and blenders “I deep clean my brushes once a week or two, depending on how busy the week is. For base brushes like the ones for cream products, concealers and foundations, I clean them regularly. I also clean my brushes between different clients, especially foundation brushes; I clean them after every client. For daily use, I use a disinfecting brush cleaning spray for instant cleaning,” says Nayar.
Pros say that it is best to skip creamy soaps, harsh chemicals or hot water to cleanse the brushes, because they won't help with product buildup, and will only affect the quality of the bristles. “Do not blow-dry them, as the heat can cause the bristles to shed faster,” says celebrity makeup artist Adrian Jacobs. For regular instant cleaning for his brushes, Jacobs uses brush cleansing sprays on the brush itself. He suggests gently moistening the bristles while holding them upside down. "Soak and swirl your brushes in a mix of water and baby shampoo. Gently massage the bristles in the water to remove pigments and product. You can use a brush cleaning mat or glove which has different textures to gently rub and clean the brushes. You can also just lightly swirl your brushes on your palm with this solution and rinse it till the water runs clear, gently squeeze the water out and leave it to dry flat on a towel for an hour,” says Jacobs.

What is a moisture sandwich, and how can it help you beat dry skin?

“Layering: cute with turtlenecks and your skincare products,” writes skinfluencer Charlotte Palermino on Instagram. She—and other skincare obsessives on Reddit—have been singing praises about creating moisture sandwiches to hydrate, brighten and protect your skin, and if your interest is piqued too, we asked the pros how you can add it to your routine too. What is a moisture sandwich? "A moisture sandwich refers to dampening your skin, applying a humectant-based product and then applying an occlusive balm. It’s designed to ensure enough water gets into the skin and none of it gets out,” says Dr Kiran Sethi, dermatologist and founder, Isya Aesthetics. By putting lighter, more watery products on damp skin and then layering something thicker, the water gets trapped for longer, which allows for more hydrated and bouncy skin. Dr Sethi likes to use a face mist first, and then apply a hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA or glycerin serum to pull in all the goodness. Some like to spritz a second layer on top too, and then continue by applying a moisturiser and then a balm or oil. This works well for dry limbs too. Start with damp skin straight out of the shower, and then apply a glycerin or hyaluronic acid-based serum, after which you can massage in a moisturiser and then an oil to lock it all in, says Dr Aakriti Mehra of SkinGenious, Mumbai. Have dry lips? Dampen your lips with water, and then apply a moisturiser on top, like the one you're using on the rest of your face. Then, apply a thick layer of lip balm on top. By keeping the water moist, you're giving the moisturiser an opportunity to penetrate, and then you're using a balm that'll prevent any moisture loss, reducing flakiness and peeling in the process. How can those with active ingredients in their routine use a moisture sandwich? Some people like to apply petroleum jelly as the occlusive step in a method known as slugging (made popular by Redditors and Palermino too). This works for people who have dry, dehydrated skin that is not prone to acne. “If you have oily skin with congestion, you may not want to use petroleum jelly as this can clog the pores,” says Dr Mehra.
