PAlife CONTENT S EDITOR’S LETTER
A Life was delighted to be able to partner earlier this year with Jaeger, one of
the UK’s most prestigious fashion brands, to bring you an exclusive workwear fashion shoot. Our model for the day was Jenny Davies, Brand
Director Assistant at Jaeger, who looked stunning in the five different looks that our stylist had chosen for her; we hope our feature will provide you with some inspiration for your own working wardrobe (see pages 8 and 9). Also inside this issue there are four chances to win
a range of exciting prizes. On our PA picks round-up (pages 4 and 5) you could have the opportunity to take part in a mixology class at London’s Bar Soho, learning how to make some fabulous cocktails. On page 11, meanwhile, Champneys is offering one reader and their guest a pamper day that includes unlimited use of facilities, a buffet lunch and thalassotherapy pool session, plus a spa treatment. As part of our feature on business jets (pages 25-28), you can win a VIP visit and champagne lunch on board the Embraer Legacy 600, an ultra-spacious private aircraft. Our quartet of prizes is rounded off by two free places at a ladies-only tutored masterclass on cigars, taking place at The May Fair hotel
READ OUR HANDY TIPS ON BEATING STRESS
next month (page 41).And as if that weren’t enough, we also have a competition coming in April that will offer four lucky readers the chance to winan all-expenses-paid trip to Malaysia (see page 5 for more details). As well as prizes galore, we reveal how to create the
ideal working environment (page 19), take the perfect minutes at meetings (page 34), learn the basics of PR (page 35) and find out how to become more confident in the workplace (page 39). With such a whirl of activity going on, and given the busy multitasking lives we all lead these days, ourhealth and wellbeing feature (pages 30-33) could hardly be more timely, with its handy tips on beating stress through meditation, relaxation and nutrition. We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we did putting it together. COLETTE DOYLE EDITOR
