LET’S BE kinder to ourselves

So, apparently, the average woman criticises herself up to eight times a day. Am I surprised? To be honest, no, because I am certainly one of those ‘average’ women. It’s so easy to beat yourself up about things you feel you should have done better. Well, according to the compassion experts (see page 52), it’s time we all started being kinder to ourselves. And to help you get in the swing of it, we’ve made sure this issue is packed with lots of lovely things for you to enjoy. There are our reader makeovers (page 64) that show you how to get a high-end look with high-street buys – the women look amazing! Our Easy Does It fashion (page 16) has the key wardrobe pieces worth investing in, and we have some great summer books for you to enjoy on holiday – or just in the garden!

For a truly inspiring read, meet the women who’ve found happiness on four wheels with their beloved camper vans (page 30) – what a great way to get some well deserved me-time. Whatever you choose to do to be that bit kinder to yourself, remember: Prima is always on your side!
