LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2018

Welcome to Australia’s first renters community For decades the ‘great Australian dream’ of owning your own home has gone unchallenged. But the world is changing. Owning a home is no longer a reality – or even a desire – for many Australians. But with an imperfect rental system that doesn’t provide long-term security, what does the future hold for those who want to rent indefinitely? The Smith Collective may be the answer. The Smith Collective is a new community made up entirely of rental apartments and townhouses located at the site of the former Commonwealth Games Village at Southport. Australia’s first ‘build to rent’ community, the Smith Collective is designed for living, not just ‘staying’. The build to rent model, which is popular in the United States and Europe, redefines the traditional rental process by forgoing individual landlords and allowing residents to secure long-term leases with the promise of many benefits of home ownership. Property innovators JLL, along with Grocon and UBS Asset Management, are behind the introduction of build to rent in Australia and believe it, and the Smith Collective, will reinvent rental in this country. UBS Asset Management Executive Director Michael Woodrow said, “Our vision is to create a thriving and blended community unlike anything the Gold Coast has seen. Research shows that while an increasing number of people want to live where they work, shop and play, they also yearn for the security of long-term leases and ability to add personal touches to their homes. By maintaining ownership of Smith Collective’s residential offering, we are able to grant those wishes.” Featuring 18 apartment towers and 82 two-storey townhouses (including 172 accessible homes) and a 6280sqm retail hub, the Smith Collective is one of the Gold Coast’s largest urban renewal projects and has already announced plans for new Woolworths and BWS stores that will form part of an ever-expanding boutique retail precinct.

With over seven hectares of parkland, Smith Collective also boasts a huge range of facilities including: • Landscaped gardens • Four gyms • Four swimming pools, • Community veggie and herb gardens • Off-leash dog park • Multiple community BBQs • Walking, running and cycling paths • Homebase community centre Plus much more. Smith Collective is inviting everyone on the Gold Coast to view their new community and tour the 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom townhouses for themselves at a series of fun, free community events in November and December. Choose from Friday Night Bites with food trucks, live entertainment and a pop-up bar, Family Fun Days filled with heaps of activities for the kids or even family movie nights. To find out more visit smithcollective.com.au/whats-on.

My name is:

I- live-here-too

Say farewell to waiting weeks for repairs and not knowing if you’ll be able to renew your lease. Ta-ta to never being able to hang your favourite pictures or paint your walls. And sayonara to sudden rent rises and not being able to own a pug (or two). At Smith Collective you can enjoy a whole new way to rent. As Australia’s first renters only community we know that you want the same things homeowners do… just without the mortgage. So say bye-bye to old style landlords, and hello to being a Smith. 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 3 bedroom townhouses now renting. Become part of the new rental movement at smithcollective.com.au today.

MEET THE Sylvy Earl MILLINER A true master of her craft, Sylvy’s pieces make the ultimate racing accessory. The master milliner unveils her design background, discusses her latest collection and gives Label her Spring Racing style tips. Where did your love for millinery begin? I’ve always loved beautiful accessories, experimenting with the way things are constructed, and making things by hand. For me, millinery is the perfect combination of these things. What educational path did you follow in pursuit of your career as a milliner?

What is your favourite to style and why?

day

I love them all! I love Derby Day for its glamour and sophistication (monochrome never goes out of style), Oaks Day for its femininity, and beautiful prints and textures, and Cup Day for its colour and vibrancy.

I completed my formal millinery training at TAFE.

What are some of your favourite clothing labels to pair with your designs?

How would you brand aesthetic?

I aim to create millinery that is sophisticated, modern, and feminine, without being too fussy.

I have recently collaborated with Lover on a Spring racing look, which I’m so excited about. I love clothes that are modern, playful, smart, and feminine without being too girly, and I think Lover achieves this perfectly.

Tell us about your latest collection of millinery. What inspired their creation?

If you could crown anyone (living or dead) with one of your incredible pieces, who would it be?

the

Sylvy

Earl

My latest collection is inspired by simple, classic shapes, with a contemporary touch. I have used fresh, neutral toned straws with wide, elegant brims, and easy to wear headband styles with detailed florals, beading and metallics.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Emma Freedman, racing royalty, hat lover and style queen, a number of times already! Emma has great style, knows what works for her, and isn’t afraid to make an impact with her millinery.

What millinery trends do you think we will see at the Spring carnivals this year?

When you’re not in your studio, what is your ideal day off?

Wide brimmed hats, straw boaters, crowns with beautiful details, and a little bit of romance with florals, bows and flowing ribbons.

Unfortunately, there are no days off in the lead up to Spring Carnival! But, an ideal day off would include a bit of baking, brunching, and visiting an art gallery.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2018

Behind the Brand:

MAnnInG C Ar TeLL The Manning sisters Cheryl, Vanessa and Gabrielle talk their latest collection, global expansion and Spring Carnival racewear. How has Manning Cartell evolved since its inception?

What Manning Cartell pieces should we wear to the races?

It has evolved quite organically. Currently direct retail makes up 85 percent of our business, however when we first launched Manning Cartell it was 100 percent wholesale. We’ve established an incredible team in our six standalone boutiques who make the in-store experience special for our customers. We also sell internationally, having just launched Manning Cartell in the US through a partnership with Barneys New York. The beginning of our global expansion.

With such a diverse range, there is a piece suited to everyone’s race-day style. The Everest Carnival Silks will be auctioned off on the Australian Turf Club’s eBay page with proceeds going to Sydney’s Dress for Success charity. If you can get your hands on one of these silk garments you will be wearing a unique piece that you can be sure no one else has.

Who is the Manning Cartell woman?

Formal footwear is a must. Ladies, get your heels out and men, your best dress shoes. There’s no footwear more race-day appropriate!

The Manning Cartell woman is fearless with a modern style and an adventurous spirit. Robyn Lawley, who wore one of our Everest Carnival Silk garments to Colgate Optic White Stakes Day, is the perfect example of this. Tell us about your plans for our spring wardrobes. What inspired your latest collection and what can we expect to see from you this season? Our Spring Collection is all about modern florals, saturated brights, head-to-toe looks that make a strong visual statement such as print on print or tone on tone. The collection combines 90s’ minimalism and 80s’ futurism and celebrates sustainability and bold, feminine styles for women of substance and strength.

What aspects of footwear deem them race-appropriate?

What are your favourite millinery pairings? A personal favourite of ours was the first Everest Carnival Silks design that Robyn Lawley flaunted at Colgate Optic White Stakes Day. She wore a dress inspired by Winx’s winning silks pattern, combined with the red, white and black colour palette of Colgate. This beautiful combo was perfectly paired with a Nerida Winter headpiece.

Shop at manningcartell.com

Let’s talk racewear. What will we see trending trackside this spring season? The Australian Turf Club is encouraging racegoers to leave boring behind at Everest Carnival this spring. In a world first, we’ve collaborated with the ATC to create a range of garments inspired by the racing silks worn by the jockeys themselves. The collection is called the ‘Everest Carnival Silks’.

Meet Eliise Maar

ELIISE MAAR JEWELLERY is known for its luxe-minimal aesthetic, growing a fast fan base since its launch in 2015. Born in Estonia, Eliise brings a unique quality to her handcrafted pieces, which celebrate her roots and are inspired by her surroundings, architecture and geometry. The Melbourne-based designer divulges her methods, materials and the jewellery trends of the season. Where did your jewellery design journey begin? A lot of experimenting with different things to find what I'm truly passionate about. I did a lot of ceramics and painting in the beginning, then started making jewellery as wearable art from all sorts of materials handy and been evolving ever since. What was the first piece of jewellery that made you fall in love with the industry? It was the simplest little silver ring that we made together with Victoria Mason. She showed me how to solder the wire and I just absolutely loved the intricacy behind something that simple. How would you describe ELIISE MAAR aesthetic?

the

I think my jewellery can be styled in many ways. You can get that really minimal and strong look and also when stacked and layered it’s like bohemian chic. What inspires your pieces? A lot of it comes from what I'm surrounded by in everyday life - nature, architecture, geometry. What process do you follow when creating your pieces? I do a lot of daydreaming, I must admit. I explore before putting anything on paper or starting to make something. When creating a piece, I follow my instinct and trust my judgement. There are a lot of designs that never see the public eye.

What are some of your favourite materials to work with? When creating a piece, I love working with wax – it’s an inexpensive way to test out designs in 3D before committing to anything. From metals, I'd say platinum is my favourite. I love the colour and strength of it. Which stones are most on-trend For me they and Morganite.

been

this season?

black

diamonds

What is your favourite way to style pieces from your latest collection? I love mixing and matching the textured pieces with either more simple and smooth styles or with gemstone bands. I think the gem bands compliment the Frost texture really well and balances the whole look by adding a bit of lifting sparkle as a contrast. My favorite at the moment is the Lavish Fine Black Diamond Band, I wear it as a pinky ring. Who would you be most excited wearing ELIISE MAAR and why?

I think anyone who shares my brands values; wants a locally made and personalised unique piece of jewellery that lasts a lifetime. In terms of style, if I had to pick someone specific, then Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine is supercool.

What makes your methods unique? I would say the textures I add to the rings are unique to my designs. Every texture is unique and handmade by me and not replicable.

MEN

The SWIM STArS Vacay Swimwear founders Jordy and Corey speak to Label about the breaking into the design market, the destinations that inspired their pieces and injecting vibrancy into men’s swim style.

Where and how did Vacay Swimwear begin? Corey: Vacay Swimwear all began in our last semester of university, when Jordan and I both really struggled to shop a good quality pair of swim trunks that not only fit well but were unique and high quality. It all initially started for this reason… to be able to dress ourselves! It wasn't until people started to take notice of the shorts we were wearing that we thought; “Hey why don’t we start our own brand?” This is when Vacay Swimwear was born. Who is the Vacay Swimwear man? Corey: The Vacay Swimwear man is one that isn’t afraid to step outside the square and experience life on his terms. He is confident, charismatic and takes immense pride in his appearance… especially in his swim shorts. Which fashion your designs?

have

inspired

Jordy: All designs are strongly inspired by the destination they are named after. An example of this was when I was travelling through Monte Carlo and noticed a lot of pink and white striped sun umbrellas, it was from then, the elegance of the pink and white classy striped Monte Carlo print was born! I believe that people have a stronger connection with travel destinations rather than fashion icons themselves. For this reason, we carefully think of our designs from iconic destinations as our consumers have a stronger connection with where they’ve been.

What has been your biggest challenge in fashion design and how have you overcome it? Jordy: Being two young lads with marketing degrees stepping into the world of fashion, we lacked any education in good old fashion dress making. Our biggest challenge we faced was how we want the shorts made, from the measurements, the way they were sewed, how big we wanted the pockets the length of the shorts...the list goes on. We overcame this obstacle with lots of research and trial and error! If you could dress anyone in Vacay Swimwear, who would it be? Corey: It would definitely have to be David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo. These guys are the pinnacle of class and have a sense of style that can't be imitated. Every girl wants to be with them and every guy wants to be them. This is definitely the Vacay man! Where design

MADE FOR MEN: BULLDOG SKInCAre Created out has soared and mature inside look

of a need for straightforward skin solutions, Bulldog Skincare For Men in popularity since its 2005 inception, solving sensitivity, oiliness skin issues along the way. Founder Simon Duffy gives Label an at his skincare philosophy.

What inspired you skincare range?

create

your

own

The idea for Bulldog Skincare For Men was born whilst I was shopping for skincare products for my wife. I was buying some of her favourite products when I noticed that there were no straightforward skincare options for men which contained natural ingredients. I quit my job in the Summer of 2006, and set about building the company with a friend. We launched the first set of 6 Bulldog products into a leading supermarket chain in the UK in the July 2007. How does Bulldog Skincare For Men differ to your typical supermarket brand? Firstly, our products have been purpose built for men. They are not just a men’s version of what was initially a women’s brand, as you could say for our competitors such as L’Oréal or Nivea. Secondly our products work really well and I believe superior performance is a big differentiator for Bulldog. Bulldog’s products are effective at getting the job done and use natural ingredients. Men are interested in simple and more natural formulas, but they are highly motivated by performance and results too. What skin concerns does Bulldog Skincare For Men target? We want to target the broad set of regular skincare concerns that men might face. In the UK, where Bulldog is most established, we have four main product families; Original, Sensitive, Oil Control, and Age Defence. We also offer a lot more than just standard skincare products as is evident with the Beard care products we offer and with the more advanced eye care and face mask products that feature in some of our product families. We want to launch as many of these products in Australia as we can. Our best-selling Original Range is for everyday skin maintenance for men with normal skin. Each product within the range contains aloe vera, camelina oil and green tea. 70% of men will experience skin sensitivities at some point in their lives. Growing facial hair, shaving and a variety of external aggressors can cause redness and skin irritation. Our Sensitive range is fragrance free and has been designed to sooth sensitive skin. The key ingredients within this range are baobab oil, oat oil and willow herb. Our Age Defence range contains a potent blend of antioxidants which help to fight free radical damage, which is a major cause of skin ageing. These are rosemary, echinacea and vitamin E.

How does Bulldog Skincare For Men achieve an eco-friendly status? It’s great if people recognise this ambition in Bulldog to be more eco-friendly. We’d like to inspire the rest of the industry to move in this direction too. For us there are lots of things that go into being more environmentally responsible. I’ll share a few examples. Recently microbeads have become a hot consumer interest topic – and rightly so. Since our launch in 2007, we never used plastic microbeads (well before the UK ban took place). Instead, we used natural exfoliants in our first ever face scrub and have continued to do so ever since. More recently, in January 2018, we became the first men’s skincare brand in the world to use plastic derived from Brazilian sugarcane in our tubes. In the UK, our most recent innovation is our Original Bamboo Razor. What is your skincare philosophy? Keep it simple. Cleansing and moisturising are key. Use our Original Face Wash and Original Moisturiser twice a day for just two weeks and you will see the difference in your skin, which will look fresh and feel smoother and more hydrated. You might even get some compliments too! These two steps are non-negotiable and don’t take any longer than the time it takes to brush your teeth! We should all have time to do this. Tell us about your expansion into the Australian market. What made Woolworths the ideal partner? Bulldog is now in 25 different countries, and we are working with some of the biggest and best retailers in the world like Target (USA), Boots (UK), Carrefour (France) and Olive Young (Korea). We look for retail partners who share our aspiration to grow the men’s skincare category, and who see the opportunity in helping to support a brand that is approaching the challenge of recruiting more men to these types of products in a different way to the standard brands already in this space.

Tell us about the history of Danné Montague-King. What was the brand’s original focus and product range? Danné is the founder who suffered with very bad acne as an teenager. His parents took him to several dermatologists with no real solutions for his skin. He still recalls how desperately unhappy his skin made him and how self conscious he was. He always tells the story of when he had to go to a party with his family. He would find the darkest corner and stay there all night, so people wouldn’t see his skin. This was his motivation to study botanical science and chemistry and develop a skin revision system that really worked and provided results for skin conditions.

Where does an acne treatment with DMK?

their

The first step is to find a DMK clinic and have a consultation, skin analysis and health assessment. Then the DMK skin technician can advise on the best treatment and home prescriptive program for you. You wouldn’t get glasses without getting your eyes tested. Get a professional skin consultation, then you can receive the best advice.

What are some of the biggest skin concerns that DMK products can address?

What are the common surrounding acne treatment?

It is funny when I get asked about products, I here Danné ringing in my ear, he always says “I hate the word products.” DMK is a concept. So we do professional skin revison treatment to revise the skin back into a healthy balanced state and then we prescribe a home care regime to support and maintain the results. DMK obviously specalises in acne, pigmentation, scarring, rosacea and reactive skin (sensitive), stretch marks.

The most common misconception is that people think that using something that dries out the skin will get rid of acne. Acne skins do have a fast oil flow but they also suffer from trans epidermal water loss because of the increased androgens. The thing to remember is that the skin is on a feedback mechanism, so if you strip the oil and dry it out this send a message to the sebaceous (oil) gland to produce more oil so you are make a fast situation even faster.

As we move from winter into spring, how should we change our skincare routines? Winter is very drying as we go from warmth, to cold, and back to warmth. So I would recommend getting a really good treatment to exfoliate any dead cell build up, then increase the circulation to bring fresh blood, nutrients and oxygen to the skin, improve lymphatic drainage and stimulate the fibroblast cell to enhance collagen production. Follow with a multivitamin, mineral, amino acid and essential fatty acid infusion. Then, at home, you don’t need as many rich lipids in your product as in winter. Use products that increase

free water levels and waterproof the skin (barrier repair therapy). You tend to sweat more and have more oil in summer. Also, in summer obviously be vigilant with applying sunscreen.

misconceptions

What are the biggest mistakes you see women making with their skincare routine? Probably thinking “I will just use this for a couple of weeks and then I don’t need to use it anymore and it will stay like that.” Consistency is the KEY in life, the more consistent you are, the better you will look in the future.

PLANTS AND POTIONS Label meets Herbs + Heart founder Jumana Shakeer to discuss brand building, her star ingredients and making the switch to natural skincare. What stimulated you to launch Herbs + Heart? I’m curious, stubborn, and a mild hypochondriac, all wonderful beginnings of what eventually lead to become Herbs + Heart. It started with my own skin troubles during my teenage years, and as every overly paranoid person, I took to Google to enquire on how I could best help myself. I stumbled upon the many DIY home remedies and experimented a lot with my own skin, with incredible results. How does Herbs + Heart differ to a typical skincare brand? Our products focus on being multi-functional in their application within a beauty routine. With products that have the flexibility to be used for a number of different ways, users can overall reduce the products they use, simplifying their routines down to the bare minimum without compromising on happy and healthy skin. What skin woes can Herbs + Heart treat? Unhappy Skin! For us, skincare woes arise from unbalanced skin that is deprived of the key nutrients and care it needs in order to heal and restore itself. Our products focus on bringing it back it its happiest and healthiest state by feeding it the nourishment it craves. Our potent natural ingredients work in sync with your skins biochemistry to alleviate symptoms of everything from the chronically dry to the breakout prone. What is the ideal Herbs + Heart skincare regime as the weather changes from winter to spring? As the weather changes, and the air around us gains humidity, this added moisture to our environment is great for our skin. For the most part, your routine may remain the same, with the only exception being your moisturiser. The thick, rich moisturisers that locked moisture in may become too heavy with the added humidity in the air, causing our skin to suffocate as it tries to sweat and breathe. Look into moisturisers instead that are lighter and work specifically with the principle of drawing moisture from the air back into the skin. Water-based

gels are great at this, and during the spring months may slowly be introduced on the warmer days when you are out in the sun. What are your star ingredients? They are all stars! I do however have a personal bias for Manuka Honey and Calendula. Manuka Honey’s complex architecture of essential vitamins and Amino acids provide the building blocks of collagen, whilst the methylglyoxyl factor (MG) has been shown to increase collagen cross-linking and promote structural integrity of collagen in skin cells. Honey also makes an excellent face cleanser that does not disturb the delicate acid mantle of our skin. The hygroscopic nature of honey draws out the dirt and grime trapped in hair follicles and facilitates the free flow of natural oils. Upon contact with water, honey produces natural hydrogen peroxide, gently exfoliating away dead skin cells to reveal clean, bright skin. As a natural humectant, honey draws in moisture into the skin. This hydration helps to further enhance the skin’s elasticity and cell regeneration, as well as promote healing. Calendula is well known for its supreme ability to promote fast healing in wounds and aid regeneration of skin with minimal scarring. The molecular make up of Calendula boasts many skin benefitting properties such as carotenoids, flavonoids, mucilage, glycosides and polysaccharides. These antioxidants protect skin cells from the damage of Oxidation. Oxidation produces oxygen free radicals, n a t u r a l chemicals that are said to suppress immune function and weaken the skin barrier. In simple terms, Calendula is a powerful restorative and anti-aging addition in skincare.

In celebration of Binny’s tenth anniversary, Label meets founder Belinda Watson to understand her inspiration, creative process and the pieces you need in your spring wardrobe.

Which fashion icons have inspired your designs?

Where and how did Binny begin?

This year I have spent most of it planning a garden. And settling into my new number one role as a mum. It is our tenth year, so I really feel we are in full flower in more ways than one. Even more serendipitously florals are MASSIVELY back. Such a refreshing change after the relentless minimalism of the past few years. Finally, the pages of trend reports are full of colour, print, florals and fun. So, expect lots of pretty colour, spots and flowers. And always… prints!

Binny started in 2008 when I couldn’t find anything fun and what I loved to wear to all the events my friends and I were attending – 30ths, engagements, weddings. After starting two brands from scratch for other companies and being involved in all sides of the business, from sales to design, I took a deep breath and decided to start in a dusty old garage in my share house in Tamarama, Sydney. How has Binny evolved since its inception? Originally created to satisfy an opportunity in occasion dressing, I now focus on two seasonal collections annually that tell a tale that is memorable to me. I started out with a tiny 12 piece signature collection that would easily fit back into my range now, which makes me happy as the handwriting is less trend driven and rather classic items I always will love. However, now I struggle to keep a collection under 50 pieces. This year marks the tenth anniversary of Binny, after years of doing everything myself I now have an amazing team helping me with everything from production and PR to packing! Who is the Binny woman?

I always adore the obvious such as Chloe, Dolce, Gucci. I am really drawn to the print-driven designers and trawling the international shows is one of my favourite pastimes. Always a bit eclectic with classic thrown in. My designs are mainly inspired from travel, art, books, life – it changes every time. Tell us about your plans for our Spring wardrobes. What inspired your latest collection and what can we expect to see trending this season?

What has been your biggest challenge as a businesswoman in retail and how have you overcome it? Making all decisions solo and the pressure mounts as the business grows. But I have gotten a lot better at not worrying about it. The only thing that has helped with that is experience, making mistakes and learning from them. Finding the right people to work in the specific areas you need and finding the right balance has also proved challenging but so rewarding when the right person comes along. What piece of advice do you deem most relevant to fledgling designers? Be unique.

We recently sent out a questionnaire to our loyal mailing list clients. We found out the majority of our clients are 30+, mums and have an interest in all design from art, interiors, fashion - both high street to high end, from what they read to where they shop. She has a love of colour and print and appreciates the uniqueness and details.

Where do you go to recharge your design drive? Back to the farm. Clear skies, crisp air, open fires and my family.

GOLD FACTOR THE

SASSOU JAPAN speaks to Label about the best regime for Spring skin, their brand philosophy and how gold gets results.

What inspired the use of gold in SASSOU JAPAN skincare? For centuries, ancient cultures have looked to one of the world’s most valued minerals, gold, as a source of undeniable beauty, wealth, artistry and glamour. In fact, historians have long maintained that civilisations such as those in ancient Egypt, Rome and China, considered gold to have medicinal properties and often used this natural treasure to treat a variety of skin conditions and bodily ailments. What makes SASSOU JAPAN a unique skincare brand? SASSOU JAPAN’s Goldwaver Series in Australia, is pioneering the use and application of natural plant extracts and premium pure gold leaf. Ideal for all skin types and complexions, the Goldwaver collection, which includes the Gold Beauty Cleansing Bar (100g), Angel’s Dew Divine Moist (60ml), Gold Shimmering Essence Toner (50ml), and Gold Eye Shiteru (15g), contains Japanese-sourced pure gold and is proven to revitalise dormant skin tissues and awaken weakened structures in the skin. Combining antioxidant-rich flower and algae extracts with the anti-inflammatory and hydrating benefits of honey, the Goldwaver collection adjusts the skin’ natural 28-day renewal cycle by balancing excess sebum production, detoxifying and refining pores, enhancing skin translucency and elasticity, restoring moisture and creating a protective luminous barrier from environmental stressors. What is the SASSOU JAPAN skincare philosophy? In keeping with the traditional Japanese skincare practices, SASSOU JAPAN is dedicated to using cutting edge technological research to develop skincare products that are innovative, and effectively formulated to address signs of ageing, including dark spots, dull skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, dehydration and environmental damage.

SASSOU JAPAN believes that you need to pay particular attention to your ever-changing skin as it transitions from day-to-day, year-to-year under mounting stress, environmental assaults and through the natural course of aging. With all these factors in mind, SASSOU JAPAN believes that you can overcome them and maintain healthy and radiant skin with a good beauty regime that begins with cleansing and cleaning your skin, starting at the pores. What Japanese skincare traditions should western women start to adopt? The Japanese were among the first people to discover skin care treatments. People in Japan pride themselves on having healthy, beautiful skin – taking every possible precaution to keep it nourished and youthful. Japanese women adhere to a strict regime on a daily basis, morning and night, starting with cleansing using a foam wash, and following this with applications of various serums, toners and creams depending on needs of their day. What is the area women tend to neglect most in their skincare regime? Natural collagen production in our bodies start depleting when we are in our late twenties. Women often don’t start to adopt an anti-aging skincare regime until they start seeing fine lines forming. It is recommended that women start adopting an anti-aging regime in their mid to late twenties. Our Goldwaver series with its star pure gold ingredient was developed to delay the aging process through a strict regime of cleansing, tightening, brightening and rejuvenating the skin.

the Magic of Mila

Image Credit: Shutterstock.com

Mila Kunis won a place in our hearts after her first big gig on That â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s Show at 14, playing Jackie Burkhart, an endearingly self-impressed teen. Born Milena Markovna Kunis, the 35-year-old moved with her family from Ukraine at seven from her hometown of Chernivtsi. Growing up in the Soviet Union, Milaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother was a physics teacher and her father was a mechanical engineer, however they chose to leave for Los Angeles for a better future for their children.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2018

On day two in Los Angeles, Mila enrolled at Rosewood Elementary School, the Russianspeaking girl not knowing any English. However, Mila overcame her struggles and went on to attend Hubert Howe Bancroft Middle School then used a tutor on the set of That 70’s Show during her high school years before transferring to Fairfax High School. But it was Mila’s youth that would lay the foundation for her romantic future, eventually marrying That 70’s Show co-star Ashton

FOrGeTTInG SArAh MArShALL, 2008 The iconic romantic comedy stars Jason Segel, a heartbroken man who just got dumped for Aldis Snow by his movie star ex Sarah Marshall. In an attempt to recuperate, Segel’s character Peter Bretter goes on vacation to Hawaii, where he meets Rachel Jansen (Mila) working at the hotel. Rachel goes from rebound to real love with much drama in between.

TeD, 2012 John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) and his bear Ted (Seth MacFarlane) are best friends, thunder buddies and essentially platonic soulmates, much to the dismay of John’s girlfriend Lori (Mila). Ted’s toxic, brash, alcoholic ways push Lori and John’s love to the limits as John must decide who matters more to his future.

Kutcher in 2015 and welcoming a daughter Wyatt Isabelle and a son Dimitri Portwood. A match made in cinematic dreams that still brings joy to Mila and Ashton’s fans today. As Mila made the move from television to the big screen in 2001, she worked on many motion pictures before she started to land the roles we know her for today. In celebration of Mila, we recount our five favourite films with the star.

DATe nIGhT, 2010 Though it wasn’t a starring role, Mila Kunis plays Whippit, the wife of James Franco’s character Taste. Protagonists Phil and Claire Foster, played by Steve Carell and Tina Fey, are taken on a wild ride in a bid to spice up their marriage and end up in a debacle of mistaken identity. The couple find themselves at the apartment of Taste and Whippit where they must find a flash drive belonging to a local mob boss.

BAD MOMS, 2016 Suburban mum Amy Mitchell (Mila) resides in the suburbs of Chicago with her two children and cheating husband. After she catches her husband in the act, she kicks him to the curb and is pushed to the edge at a PTA meeting run by Gwendolyn James (Christina Applegate). Amy befriends single mother Carla (Kathryn Hahn) and Kiki (Kristen Bell) and starts a revolt against the PTA hierarchy.

BLACK SWAn, 2010 Nina (Natalie Portman) is finally chosen for the part she has always dreamed of in the ballet company that she has devoted her entire life to. Passionate about her starring role in Swan Lake, Nina is elated until newcomer ballerina Lily (Mila) gets too close for comfort and is made her alternate. Their rivalry and friendship brings out the dark side in Nina.

the thing about ballet that i never knew about is that it’s one of the most excruciating sports that i’ve ever been a part of. I say sports because they train constantly, every single day.

When the fish has only 5 minutes to go, cut the buns in half and place in the oven to toast. To build the burger, spread a little yoghurt onto two bun halves, load up with sliced tomato, lay the fish on top then scatter the cucumber mix over (drain off the excess vinegar). Finish with the coriander and squash the remaining bun halves on top. Serve with the sweet potato fries.

*Feel free to use any type of white fish or even chicken breast instead of the cod fillets.

miNi sTrawberrY PaVloVas SWEET TREATS • MAKES 6 • LONGER RECIPE

INGREDIENTS > 4 eggs, whites only > 200g caster sugar > 1⁄2 tsp white wine vinegar > 1 tsp cornflour > 400g strawberries, stalk removed & berry cut into thin slices (pound-coin thickness) > juice of 1⁄2 lemon * Use a clean mixing bowl > 3 tsp icing sugar to whisk up the eggs and > 400ml double cream sugar and don’t rush when > 3 digestive biscuits spooning in the sugar.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC (fan 160ºC / gas mark 4) Place the egg whites in a large clean bowl and whisk well until light and fluffy and able to hold their own weight. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and whisk for about 30 seconds before adding another. Continue this process, ensuring you don’t add more than 1 tablespoon of sugar at a time, and giving the mix a good whisk until all the sugar is used up and the egg whites are very stiff and glossy. Add the white wine vinegar and the cornflour and whisk again. Continue to whisk for a good 2–3 minutes to be sure that all the ingredients are absolutely mixed together. When you are happy with the mix, dollop six large mounds of meringue onto a flat baking tray lined with non-stick baking parchment. Using the back of a spoon, push the centre of each mound down a little to create a nest shape. Slide the nests into the oven and immediately reduce the heat to 100ºC (fan 80ºC/gas mark 1⁄4). Leave the nests to cook like this for 30 minutes, then turn the oven off and leave to cool. Meanwhile, mix the strawberries and lemon juice in a bowl, then sieve over the icing sugar. Leave to sit until you’re ready to eat. Just before serving, whisk up the double cream until it’s just thick enough to hold its own weight. Carefully sit the mini pavlovas on a serving plate, dollop on some double cream and top with the strawberries. Crumble over the digestive biscuits and serve immediately.

The Strawberry Gum Clover

West Winds Gin

> 50ml The West Winds Sabre

Sometimes you need a stiff drink to shake off the winter chill and nothing does that quite as well as a Nuclear Daiquiri. Traditionally using over proof rum weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made our own variation utilising The Broadside Navy Strength Gin and Native River Mint.

> 20ml Fresh Lemon Juice > 10ml Strawberry Gum infused Raspberry Syrup really fun to make your own! > 10ml Sweet Vermouth > 10ml Egg Whites Method: Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. First, we want to dry shake the cocktail. Dry shaking is where you shake a cocktail with egg whites with 1 or 2 cubes of ice in an effort to emulsify the whites. Once that is done we want to open the shaker, fill it up to the top with ice, and shake again. Once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached a nice dilution, which is usually when the tin is getting frosty, open the shaker, double strain (pop the big springy strainer into the top of the shaker and pour the beverage through a fine strainer, which is sort of like a tea strainer) into a pre-chilled pretty cocktail glass.

The Titanic available at the West Winds Gin Bar > 45ml The Broadside Navy Strength > 30ml Lime Juice > 15ml River mint infused Falernum > 20ml Green Chartreuse

+ Garnish with a Lemon Twist

Method: Measure your ingredients into a boston shaker, fill with ice and shake away for 2030 seconds. Double strain into a coupette and garnish with a zest of lime.

PLANT PERSPECTIVE with Botanica™

Founder Lesley Williams talks modern interior greening and the magic of mossariums. Tell us about your enchantment with plants. Where did your Botanica™ journey begin? I love plants and the idea of being amongst the rainforest and nature. Growing up, we had a section of the garden that was totally overgrown with monstera, tree philodendron and ivy. I remember going on adventures through the foliage with my sister as children. That nostalgic rainforest adventure was sparked again when my partner and I moved to the Adelaide hills about 5 years ago. We have big trees, natives, ivy, mosses and I think subconsciously I wanted to recreate that place… but I didn’t have time just yet to dedicate myself to such a project! At the time my only green thumb activity was nursing some sick phalaenopsis orchids to better health under a large hand blown glass cloche. The amount of moss that was thriving as a byproduct under the glass sparked an idea. A tiny rainforest on my counter might be the next best thing to having a big rainforest of a backyard. And that was the birth of our first product, Sanctuary the mossarium. What is a mini-mossarium and how does it work? Terrariums are for all sorts of tropical/temperate plants but a mossarium is generally a closed, microclimate to collect and display mosses. It works very simply - as the moisture from the moss evaporates, it condenses in the lid and drips back down to hydrate the moss, eliminating the need for constant misting as moss dries out pretty easily when kept indoors. Just as the phalaenopsis moss did once hydrated more regularly, moss in a mossarium begins to grow in height and become brighter in colour (NB when moss is dry, it’s not dead but rather dormant until the next rain). What are some of the common issues with small terrariums and what makes the mini-mossarium a better option? I love working with all types of terrariums but there were a few things I identified that could perhaps make starting one an option for more people.

Terrariums can be hard to keep clean. Generally there is only a small opening to access the moss or plants inside and cleaning the glass is a real skill! Mixing plants and mosses can sometimes be problematic too because their needs are slightly different. Some plants are dying off whilst others are thriving and you do need to get in there to clean up a bit. You can let your terrarium go wild but after asking people their opinions, they loved their terrariums when they first got them but once plants started breaking down (naturally) and regrowing in weird and wonderful ways it can get a bit mucky in there! So why not start small, just with moss…. see how things go? Moss receives nutrients via its tiny leaves, so the hydration Sanctuary provides works great. Moss doesn’t need soil, just place the moss over the Sanctuary domed base. You can lift the lid to trim moss or clean the lid. The base acts as drainage for excess water and also hides any dirt. Side vents provide a little airflow which mosses do enjoy. Our silicon bases are also dishwasher safe when it’s time to refresh. It’s a neat and easy-care option for a touch of greenery on your desktop. What climates can we choose from and what plants are best suited to each environment? If you would like a super hydrating climate, our Rainforest and Sanctuary are perfect products. You can experiment with particular mosses and plants that enjoy a humid or moisture rich environment. For a more traditional looking arrangement we have Temperate for indoor plants such as peace lili, palms, baby monstera, birds nest fern and orchids. Semi open is our Biodome. We are able to use the same plants as above (thanks to the ventilation in the domed glass top) but the water schedule is significantly reduced. A fortnightly check is all you need. All of the range requires natural light for your plants to thrive and keep a nice balance in the terrarium.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2018

By shopping with Botanica™ online, how does one build their mini-mossarium? The aim with our Sanctuary mossarium was to keep it as simple as possible. You can find moss yourself or on our website. You place the moss piece over the domed base, place the lid and that’s your building done. How are your mini-mossariums made? Our Sanctuaries utilise various manufacturing processes depending on the base material. Choose from coloured silicon, carrara marble or concrete. Our clear tops are made here in South Australia.

the day. I think about my own hydration as I access the tiny fronds for watering. I exercise my eyes as I move away from the computer screen for a moment and I take some time out to gaze into that flourishing little ecosystem. Where would you like to see Botanica™ in five years? An international concept store is definitely on the cards for me. I’m excited just thinking about it.

Shop Botanica™ at botanica.boutique

What are your favourite species to see flourish? I have trialled many mosses over the last two years but my favourite is still the moss we stock, which is Racopilum Cuspidigerum. It’s a pluerucarp moss that branches out and upward, depending on the amount of light it has access to and loves a moisture rich environment. You can also give it a haircut every so often which is fun! Which Botanica™ styles are most on-trend for Spring’s home décor themes? We have just introduced three new colours to our mini Sanctuary range - Claret, Terracotta and Deep Green which work beautifully to add a splash of bold colour to a bathroom, kitchen, office… they are quite ‘shelfie’ friendly too! Complimentary to these we’ve also released a new range of self-watering hanging and wall mounted pots called Skye, in the same bold colour schemes as above with a hint of art deco inspiration. What are the benefits of adding more green life to your living and work space? There are so many benefits to adding some greenery to your space- improved air quality and mental health, lower blood pressure, google Nature Therapy, amazing! For me personally, greenery is a reminder of self-care and mindfulness. Caring for any plant and making it a daily ritual to check in with how it’s doing really does help me relieve the stresses of

WeightLoss Solutions Australia How does weight-loss surgery work? Is it for me and how much does it cost? These are some of the big questions people ask when they are considering weight-loss surgery. If you are one of the thousands of Australians whose health is negatively impacted by their weight and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found that diets and exercise just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t result in significant weight-loss, it might be the time to consider bariatric surgery. For many, bariatric surgery is the most effective way to lose a lot of weight, transform the body, and just as importantly, restore good health. Excess weight increases the risk of many illnesses including: Type-2 diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, stroke, sleep apnoea and high cholesterol.

Is Weight-loss Surgery for Me? Weight-loss surgery is not for everyone To be eligible for weight-loss surgery with WeightLoss Solutions Australia, patients are required to meet the following clinical criteria: + You must be at least 17 years of age and no older than 75. * + You have a history of failed weight-loss attempts with diet and exercise. + You are willing to access meaningful support from the clinical team at WLSA. + You are willing to adhere to medical, dietary, and behavioural advice. + In addition to the above criteria, your Body Mass Index (BMI) needs to be in the overweight or obese range. The BMI recommendations for each of the WLSA procedures are as follows: + BMI required for Gastric Banding: BMI of 35 and above, or those with a BMI of 30 and above with associated health problems such as diabetes or sleep apnoea. + BMI required for Gastric Sleeve: BMI of 40 and above, or those with a BMI of 35 and above with associated health problems. + BMI required for between 27 and 35.

LIVES

FOREVER

The WLSA team includes highly-skilled surgeons, two psychologists, three dietitians and two nurses supported by a wonderful administration team. WLSA CEO Felicity Cohen aims to help more Australians achieve a healthy and happy life through understanding the benefits of a comprehensive bariatric weight-loss solution and the unique Lifestyle Modification program she has developed since the year 2000. Felicity enjoys the professional and personal ‘high’ she gets from witnessing the transition people make to leading happier and more fulfilling lives as a result of achieving sustained weight-loss through surgery and healthy lifestyles. Felicity takes personal pride in assisting patients with their goals to compete in the Gold Coast Marathon and other events every year. One of Felicity’s fondest memories is of a young girl who attended one of the WLSA information nights in 2004 with her distraught and concerned parents. The girl went on to lose over half her bodyweight and changed the quality of her life for the better. ** If you have any questions or concerns regarding WLSA or its services, Felicity is the person to talk to. She is friendly, caring and more than happy to assist patients of all weights and backgrounds.

What are the Costs? The cost for a weight-loss procedure will depend on whether you carry private health insurance or are a self-funding patient. Obesity is officially classified as a disease and there is a process in place for early release of superannuation funds to help cover the costs which WLSA happy to facilitate. Applications take around six weeks to process and must include letters of support from a patient’s surgeon and GP.

* Please note that these criteria are guidelines that are established in the interest of the patient. However, in circumstances that warrant a review of age and BMI limitations, WLSA reserves the right to assess each patient on an individual basis and may in certain circumstances approve a patient who falls outside of these clinical criteria for weight-loss surgery.

Where is WLSA? WLSA is located at 1 Lake Orr Drive, Varsity Lakes in Suite 3, Podium Level Lakeside 1.

TOKYO A Travel Story by Jules Ingall

Tokyo is Japan’s Capital and the world’s most populated city with over 35 million residents. Yet somehow, they manage their numbers well and unlike many other popular tourist cities, you don’t feel overwhelmed by crowds. In addition to its size, Tokyo is also one of the safest cities in the world with crimes against tourists very rare. You can feel comfortable in walking the streets at night with the lowest per capita crime rate in the world. These are just a couple of the reasons that Japan is considered one of the world’s greatest cities to visit, but there’s plenty more. Number one is its excellent transport system. Trying to move millions of people around a large city is no mean feat, however the Japan rail system handles the numbers with ease and efficiency. It is also relatively simple to use and well priced so a great way to transport yourself around, particularly if you are a tourist and unfamiliar with area. Shinjuku Station is the largest and most central station with an estimated 3.7 million passengers passing through every day!

As far as navigating a foreign city, particularly with their written language being characters rather than the alphabetic letters we are familiar with, translating and deciphering signs can be tricky. Luckily, the local Japanese people are extremely helpful and friendly, always keen to offer advice or directions. Many of the young Japanese speak fluent English which helps, although it is always advisable to learn a few basic words and phrases to get you by.

As a first time visitor to Japan, the expectation is all about sushi and Geisha girls. Funnily enough however, to spot a Geisha girl in Tokyo city is unusual, you generally need to move further out the more rural regions where the art of Geisha is a time honored tradition. There are certain places in Tokyo city where you can view a Geisha exhibition such as the free show at Asakusa Cultural Centre, however for an authentic experience you are more likely to find them in Kyoto about 3 hours west of Tokyo.

Whilst in Tokyo, hotel options are endless. There is everything from luxury penthouse suites for $20,000 per night to the “capsule” hotels which are literally that, a tiny capsule that is only suitable for a place to sleep at very low prices. One great option if you are looking for an all-round choice is the Shangri La Hotel. Firstly because of their excellent standard and quality but also because it is located directly above Tokyo’s main train station, thereby being a great central location for tourists. It sits on top of an office building so the hotel starts at a high level already meaning every floor has amazing views over the city, none more than the Horizon Club Lounge on the top level of the hotel. Perfect for an afternoon cocktail. If you chose to stay here, it’s highly recommended upgrading to a room with access to this lounge. Well worth the additional cost. The extra level of service at the Shangri La is also second to none.

Sushi on the other hand is something that has to be experienced when visiting Japan. Whilst it is a misconception that Sushi is an everyday food in Japanese culture, the sushi that you do find in Tokyo is incredible. It’s as much about the rice as it is the fish and sometimes, not even necessarily fresh fish. There are variations of sushi, such as tuna, that are considered best after certain preparations or aging. Either way, there are so many options for Sushi in Tokyo, from the freshest sashimi at the World Famous Tokyo Fish Markets to the stalls in the undergrounds shopping centers and of course, the sushi bars dotted all around the city. Beware however, many restaurants are very small, only housing a minimal number of diners so it isn’t always a case of “walking in off the street”.

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2018

Things to do

If you’re looking for ways to fill your days in Tokyo, here are a few of the many great things to do:

Ginza is one of the main shopping regions of Tokyo filled with high end stores, chains like Apple, Zara, etc, bars and luxury brands – the buildings themselves are worth the visit alone, they are stunning. The food hall under Mitsukoshi department store is insanely good. Stock up on food here. Overall Ginza is a great district and even if you don’t spend any money, it’s an interesting people watch and window shop kind of place. It’s also where Shibuya Crossing is located, this is one of the busiest crossings in Tokyo. Marunouchi Street is located in Tokyo city near Tokyo station and is full of high end, beautiful shops and restaurants. Great for a wander and lots of laneways with lovely quaint little restaurants. The Tokyo Fish markets are the worlds largest and busiest fish market. They are absolutely mind blowing. Well known for their live tuna auctions, but make sure you check before you visit as these are very limited in numbers and at times are not open to the public at all. To visit the auctions, you have to be prepared to arrive early, around 4.30 am. The easiest way to arrange a visit is probably via the concierge at your hotel. Ramen food stands are located all over the city and they are delicious. As many of the restaurants only have seating for 20 or less people, once they are full, you either have to queue for a long time, or find somewhere else. This makes the Ramen stalls not only quick and easy, but also really cheap. Omotesando is a really pretty avenue lined with Zelkova trees starting at Meiji Shrine all the way down to Omotesando Station. This is also where Takeshita Dori is located. If there is one place you need to go in Tokyo, this street is it. Home to the Harajuku teenage fashion culture, Takeshita Dora is lined with all the quirky Japanese youth fashion boutiques. There are also fantastic market food stalls in the area to sample some local treats.

Asakusa is well known for it’s historic neighborhoods and areas. There is also a beautiful Sensouji temple and Shrine which is the oldest Buddhist temple for ordinary people. A short walk across the river to the Tokyo Sky Tree. Although this is a broadcasting tower, there is also a restaurant and observation tower giving the most amazing panoramic views over Tokyo. This is currently the tallest structure in Japan so as you can imagine the views are incredible. From the Asakusa region, you can also get on board the Tokyo river cruise for around AUD20 per person and take a leisurely cruise down the Sumida river to the region of Odaiba. Odaiba itself is probably best visited in summer. The location for quite a few of the 2020 Olympic Games venues including Beach Volleyball, there are nice beaches and parks to enjoy the sunshine. It sells itself as an entertainment district with restaurants, theme parks and interesting structures. The Tokyo Tower in the Shiba-Koe district is a communications tower and is the second tallest structure in Tokyo (apart from the Sky Tree). By Day, it is red and white, but at night, all lit up, it looks exactly like the Eiffel tower. Tokyo’s Imperial Palace is generally closed to the public, except on the Emperor’s birthday and New Year, however a walk around the exterior is still really interesting and the Imperial Household Agency and the East Gardens are accessible

Ditch theKids Exchange the family for some friend fun

LABEL MAGAZINE SPRING 2018

Think you can’t afford to ditch the kids and grab your friends for a girls’ weekend in Singapore? Think you are just a poor crazy Australian dreaming about living the high life like “The Crazy Rich Asians” in the hit movie? We have found the solution. Gather the sisterhood and listen up.

Scoot has a cabin up the front, just behind ScootBiz, called ScootInSilence. It is called that because no kids under 12 years are allowed to sit there. That means no crying babies, no toddlers kicking your seat, no iPads without headphones attached blasting Frozen on repeat, and some extra S-T-R-E-T-C-H in your seat. It costs a fraction more than a normal economy seat on the flying bus, but what price is sanity for 7 or 8 hours? Gather up a posse of gal pals, and if there’s over ten of you, be sure to enquire about a group fare. When you arrive - relaxed after watching a few movies, eating a meal without interruption, flicking through Facebook using the on board wifi, or just snoozing without a “Muuuummm” in earshot - here’s what you could do in Singapore. Check in to the luxurious SO Sofitel Singapore, housed in an historic building that sits squarely opposite the most famous Singapore hawker food centre – Lau Pasat. From 5pm every night, they block off the street and it morphs into Satay Street, awash with tables and chairs and noisy vendors on BBQ grills cooking up feasts of skewered meat and fish. All washed down with an icy jug of Tiger beer to share. After a feast, head up to the top floor of SO Sofitel’s new 1927 bar, the coolest rooftop pool bar in town, where the chilled tunes and chilled drinks with names like “Tiki Timebomb”, will have you murmuring “What kids?” in the time it takes to shake a cocktail. Dance, chat, and luxuriate on the laid-back loungers, and fabric-swathed cabanas, or take a sneaky dip in the infinity pool that overlooks the city skyline. Maybe a night or two at the beautifully refurbished Swissôtel The Stamford, with hours of retail therapy right under your hotel at the popular Raffles City Centre shopping mall? After a stress-free, silent sleep, in cool, cotton sheets and in a huge bed -all to yourself, it is time to strike a pose in the shops selling Kate Spade, Coach, Furla, Chanel, Dior, Rolex. Oh no wait. That’s in the movie. Click your collective champagne glasses, celebrating your new child-free lifestyle at the brand new Bar Rouge on the 71st floor of Swissôtel with dance tunes thumping till the wee hours. But not before you sample the menu at SKAI one floor down on the 70th. Here you’ll find a social dining destination set high over Singapore’s sparkling metropolis, simply the best views in town.

In a chic setting, serving finely crafted food with Japanese influences, the dishes are almost too pretty to eat. Enjoy in peace, the finest meats grilled to perfection, a delicate tuna tartare or the signature crispy rice noodles with truffle, wild mushrooms and onsen egg. Equally impressive are the show-stopping desserts such as the yuzu white chocolate dessert, which looks like fruit served on a plate as if hanging from a chocolate tree. Executive Chef Paul Hallett is aided in these masterpieces by Chef Koo Jee, winner of the Singapore Pastry Cup 2017. Droolworthy. After all this hard work you’ll need some more time, to really unwind, and without a full washing basket in sight, the staff at Willow Stream Spa will wrap you up in swathes of clean fluffy towels. Laying you on an Egyptian cotton-topped massage table, the therapist will pummel the school pick-up up traffic knots out of your aching body, leaving you feel revitalized. As the spa is right next door, at the adjoining Fairmont, after the massage you can sink into a hot bubbling Jacuzzi, - without dodging rubber duckies - and sweat it out in the steam room, before serenely wandering back to your room, where the bed has been magically made up and the bathroom is gleaming. Unfortunately, as with Cinderella, all good things come to an end and it is time for one last indulgence in your Scoot Silent Zone, and perhaps for buying a gift for the kids from the Scootalogue. Then as a Scootee crew member treats you to one last taste of Singapore, with a signature chicken rice (that you remembered to pre-order), and with nothing to worry about, you descend….back into family life.

BreaKfaSt at raCV royal PineS

Format: Interview Style with former ASX Senior Executive, Amanda Mostyn

Topic: how do you manage relationships? It was a bright sunny morning at Royal Pines for the sold-out event Thursday 30 August 2018 with Women of Influence. We all shared in the experience of being part of a community of like-minded business women and a decent representation of men, participating in a discussion about how to make the most of our professional relationships. Amanda Mostyn joined us from Sydney to share her experience and provide tips for building and developing professional relationships. Some of the key take outs were:

networks are critical to increasing your skills in building and developing new relationships – Women of Influence is a wonderful example of a fabulous network of like-minded women! Good relationships and trust are essential elements of a successful career and a well-rounded life, but they must be reciprocated As a leader, you don’t need to be liked (you might have to make difficult decisions) but you do need to be respected.

Jacinta Smith and Anika Taylor

Susan Griffiths, Kate Bennett, Derek Merdith

Work hard to be professional in how you behave and treat others, so you earn their respect True leaders think about others, not themselves. When you manage teams of people, listen to their ideas and let them speak first. Open your self up as a ‘whole person’ not just what you are at work. Let people know about your personal life (eg partners, children and interests)

We also heard from some of the young people we support through our charity partner rADFLY, when two brave young students shared their stories. Guests were treated to a delicious breakfast in a room packed with motivated people and the buzz of our new sponsors Bulgari and the roar of the Alfa Romeo tucked in the corner. Prizes from our generous sponsors helped us raise thousands to be donated to RADFLY.

Your Business, Your Dream. Buying or selling a business can be a stressful time. Your business is often your dream and the motivation and income source for your family. But the process of buying or selling a business can be difficult and requires expert assistance.

STeP One Investigate the business that you are thinking of buying. Do your due diligence.

STeP TWO Seek expert legal advice to draw up the contract. This is a critical stage as the contract will set out the essential terms of the purchase and sale. Is the contract subject to finance, verification by your accountant of the financial records or the assignment of the lease of the premises? Are there licences or approvals that are required to run the business? Will there be a restraint on the seller or its entities conducting a similar business for a time in a certain area? Are there staff required to remain in the business and on what basis will they be offered employment? This is vital and your legal representative should be able to draft a contract that protects you and ensures that you will only be buying a business on the terms that suit you. Drafting of these conditions is an important task and the detail is often critical.

STeP Three Once the contract is negotiated and signed, it is time to satisfy those conditions, get your finance, check the financials and obtain the landlords consent to assign the lease or grant a fresh one. Again, the documentation here is vital and it is important that you and your lawyer communicate clearly.

STeP FOUr So the conditions have been approved and it is time for settlement. Your lawyer will have conducted the

necessary searches and from these it will be clear what adjustments need to be made at settlement. Documents need to be checked and liaising with your bank regarding finance. Settlement will need to be coordinated with the seller and their financier, the landlord, and the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financier so that all parties are satisfied to proceed. It is essential for all parties that these matters follow the correct procedure as the buyer wants to ensure they take over the business with all items in place to continue its operation without any impediments or debts. The seller needs to be sure that upon the completion they receive their money for the sale and have been released from all liabilities, including personal guarantees of the business moving forward.

STeP FIVe Once settlement has been effected, your lawyer should attend to any loose ends which require attending to, including lodgement of forms, registration of transfers, releases or any other items to perfect the completion and transfer ownership to the buyer and away from the seller. Whilst the exact process varies from transaction to transaction, the skill and knowledge of your legal expert should be relied upon to ensure the transaction proceeds. At OMB Solicitors, our expert team can ensure that your purchase or sale is handled in the most professional and competent manner with a common-sense approach to the transaction, having regard for and understanding of your business needs.

AQUArIUS JAn 21 - FeB 18

CAnCer

It’s been a turbulent start to your season, Virgo. With many a forked road thrown your way, you have made some tough decisions and now you have to learn to live with them.

You have been feeling extra anxious lately, Aquarius, but instead of cancelling plans last minute, anticipate your needs and being your social life to a place you can accept.

LIBrA

PISCeS

Slow down before you burn out, Cancer. You have been partying a little harder than usual lately and it’s time to settle. Give up some bad habits and replace them with something beneficial to your mindset.

SEp 23 - OCT 23

Stop being so self-centric. It’s all well and good to prioritise your wellbeing, but it’s time for your world to stop revolving around you.

SCOrPIO

OCT 24 - NOv 22

FEB 19 - MAR 20

Everything is going swimmingly, because it’s all on your terms. Make it known to your friends and family that your new-found freedom isn’t the only reason they have been getting extra attention lately.

You need some serious discipline, Scorpio. Overhaul your schedule and plan your workflow to maximise your outputs. Your superiors have been kind enough but you’re in need of an attitude adjustment.

ArIeS

SAGITTArIUS

You realise Mr Right isn’t just going to break in to your house and propose? Get out there, girl! Whether you join a running group, sports club or just choose to spend a little more time socialising.

NOv 23 - DEC 21

Things are heating up on the dating scene for you, Sagittarius, and Spring is no time to take things slow. Up the ante with some new wardrobe additions and take your hot new fling on a romantic escape.

CAPrICOrn

DEC 22 - JAN 20

You need to de-clutter your social life and you have been putting it off for far too long. For those who aren’t pulling their weight, it’s time to sit them down and explain why you aren’t satisfied.

MAR 21 - ApR 20

Spring is a realm of opportunity for you, Aries. Don’t shy away from chance as with each wave, it will bring you closer to where you need to be.

TAUrUS

SPRING’S STARS VIRGO: Zendaya, Beyonce Knowles LIBRA: Ryan Reynolds, Zac Effron SCORPIO: Katy Perry, Leonardo DiCaprio

MAY 22 - JUNE 21

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Stop being an extra in your life story and get back in the driver’s seat. You have been playing the victim for too long and all you are doing is pushing people away. Stop being bad company and make some effort to reconnect with your social life.
