ight now you’re hopefully reading this

sprawled on a beach, perched by a pool

or kicking back on your annual holiday

after the post-Xmas binge. But if you’re

like me, you’re also mentally compiling

an arm-long list of resolutions with one

aim in mind: how to make 2017 bigger,

better, happier and healthier than last

year. Well, consider this issue your^

guide to a total New Year reboot. From fitness, fashion and

beauty to life-changing tips and career advice, we’ve covered

the spectrum to help set you on the path to success.

First, we challenged writer Noelle Faulkner to follow the

sage advice dolled out in popular new book Get Your Sh*t

Together. Her 30-day metamorphosis from “workaholic

wreck” (her words) to calm, organised powerhouse will inspire

even the most seasoned cynic. Continuing the transformation

theme, this month’s Wellness special is dedicated to health,

food and workout advice from three celebrity fitness freaks

• Jess Hart, Robyn Lawley and Rachael Finch. What
  can these genetically perfect models teach me, I hear you
  mutter? Well, keeping fit and looking great is their job, and
  they work damn hard at it. Their tips, philosophies and recipes
  are a revelation; kickstart your new regimen on page 155.
  In the world of beauty, nothing’s more confusing than
  deciphering which products glean the greatest results, so
  we’ve done the work for you. We contacted beauty editors
  from the international editions of marie claire and asked them
  to name the products they can’t live without (page 140).
  Similarly, our fashion team brings you the must-know trends
  for 2017; turn to page 118 for your guide on what you’ll be
  wearing, wanting and loving this year.
  Finally, don’t miss our story “The Year That Nearly
  Broke Me” on page 62. We interviewed four high-profile
  women to reflect on a challenging time in their lives,
  and they reveal how unwanted adversity gave them greater
  personal strength and much-needed perspective.
  So, recline in that deck chair and devour our bumper
  February issue. But don’t feel overwhelmed – big change
  happens with small steps. Even if we inspire you to clear out
  your 37,000 unread emails (page 42), our job here is done.
