Easy steps to instant calm
Always racing around? Georgie Wolfinden, of glowgetter, offers some advice for a more tranquil you.
‘When I have a lot on and need to clear my headspace and prepare for a good night’s sleep I cut down on stimulants such as tea, coffee and alcohol,’ says Georgie. ‘I also ban TV and indulge in some of my favourite wellbeing treats.’
After a stressful day try these:
- Replace TV with a good book – at the moment I am curling up with Meditations from the Mat by Rolf Gates and Katrina Kenison. It puts everything in perspective and helps to make you appreciate every moment on and off the yoga mat.
- Drink green juice instead of water in the evening. My favourite blend for balancing the adrenals is a mix of celery, fennel, cucumber and watercress. This has the added benefit of making the skin glow too the morning after.
- Just before bed, spritz your face with MV Organics Rose Toning Mist then press their Rose Skin Booster onto your damp skin – this helps to nourish the skin and balance the emotions. MV’s range is as pure as it gets.
- Last but not least treat yourself to a squirt of Sprayology’s SleepEase (a blend of homeopathic remedies which help you drift of to sleep). If I really want a luxurious treat I put on my special anti aging pillow case by Holistic Silk – it feels good on the skin, hopefully will help keep wrinkles at bay – well that if my husband stops trying to swipe it from me in the middle of the night.’

Interview: Kate Hudson
‘I was raised to be a free spirit,’ says Kate Hudson. ‘My mom and dad [Goldie Hawn and stepfather Kurt Russell] never made a big deal about nudity in our house. I often walk around my house naked or just wearing my panties.
‘I also have no problem doing a nude scene in a film as long as it’s not totally exploitative. So as long as I feel that nudity is serving a moment in the film which could be funny or very romantic, I really have no problem with exposing myself. Actors are all supposed to be emotionally naked anyway!’ (Laughs)
Twenty-nine-year old A-lister Kate Hudson first leapt to public attention with her portrayal of a vivacious groupie who befriends a teenage journalist in Almost Famous. But instead of cashing in on her early box-office success, Kate stunned Hollywood by marrying the much older Chris Robinson and then having a child.
‘You have to live your life first and try to make your work enhance your life rather than the other way around,’ explains Hudson. ‘Acting is my profession, but it’s my life with my family and friends that are going to make me fulfilled.’
Her movie star parents played a large role in shaping her perspective. Kurt Russell in particular was intent that Kate shouldn’t let the film business overwhelm her. ‘After I got a lot of attention for Almost Famous, Pa told me that during my career I would be lucky to find maybe four movies in which I would have a quality role…’
