Welcome to GLAMOUR’s April digital issue, starring award-winning singer, Anne-Marie. The GLAMOUR team thought long and hard what the focus should be for this issue, and what kind of content we should be bringing you in these unprecedented – and quite frankly anxiety-driving times.
Last week on Instagram @glamouruk we asked you what stories you wanted to see. So many of you responded asking for us to continue posting the same entertainment, beauty and feel-good features that GLAMOUR has been bringing you for the past 19 years. We’ve listened.
Though this Anne-Marie issue was shot and the interview was done two weeks before the outbreak hit the UK, we felt the main topic she discusses – her mental health – couldn’t be more relevant to what we’re all going through right now. With worries about our health, our finances and just simply, how do we manage in lockdown at the fore, her honesty and advice as someone who has suffered from anxiety could not be more welcome.
Elsewhere in the issue, our Beauty Editor Lottie Winter (@lottieawinter) has written a follow-up to an article we published last year on what it’s like suffering from depression, when on the outside you have the most glamorous job and lifestyle. We also have a brilliant, practical guide on what you should do if you’re suffering from Coronavirus anxiety. And most importantly in these times, as much as we’re worried about ourselves, it’s never been more important to be kind and helpful to others who may also be feeling isolated or helpless. Read writer Marie-Claire Chappet’s feature: How to actually be kind during the Coronavirus pandemic.
As always, a big thank you to our Digital Director Bianca London @biancalondon and Entertainment Director Josh Smith @joshsmithhosts for pulling this issue together.
