Our special Challenge issue focuses on women who’ve pushed themselves beyond their limits—from overcoming rheumatoid arthritis and becoming a fitness trainer to trekking in Himachal with a knee injury. These women are all the inspiration you need. Want to get ahead in your career? We get professionals from different generations in the fields of banking, education and the food industry to tell us about their big challenges at work and how they got through them. There are a few lessons in there.

We’ve also got your needs covered when it comes to looking on trend and pretty. Our fashion pages tell you how to sport the trends of the moment—plaid, two-tone, leather and sporty chic. Want to bring red-carpet glam to your look? We have step-by-step guides on how to do an edgy ponytail like Nicole Kidman, a glamorous ’60s-inspired, tucked-in bouffant we saw on Lily Collins and a Grecian hairdo like Sonam Kapoor. There’s also our fashion feature that tells a murder story, film noir style.

On the relationship front, we’ve got a true story from a woman who says an affair actually saved her marriage, sex advice for new mums and practical career and money advice to get ahead.

And for the health conscious, we’ve got recipes for lip-smacking snacks that are low on calories. So pick up a copy and learn how to challenge yourself!
