Pilates icon Bernadette Sukkar reveals insane beauty hack
In just two years, 35-year-old Bernadette Sukkar has transformed her luxurious Bondi studio, Body By Berner, into the most coveted pilates destination in Sydney. Her classes are so sought-after she even counts Hollywood A-listers Natalie Portman and Rita Ora among her clientele. Yet for all her celebrity connections and entrepreneurial success, it's the smaller moments that still leave this newlywed starstruck. Her biggest 'pinch me' moment? Discovering that radio icon Jackie O was following her on Instagram. 'I was so excited because growing up as a girl I'd always hear her on the radio – oh my gosh, I was fangirling,' she laughs. Now Bernadette is spilling all of her secrets, from the sweat-proof makeup that survives her toughest sessions to the eye-watering price of her skincare routine. Plus, the one unconventional beauty hack she swears by — and it's nothing we've ever heard before. WHAT ARE YOUR TOP FITNESS BUYS? 'The best deodorant is from Aesop – it's natural, it actually works and it smells amazing.' 'I love Oribe, it's a dry shampoo and also adds volume. So if you've had a blowout or you've done your hair, you just put it through your roots and it adds a really nice amount of volume.' 'I always need a good grip sock and Swanky is my favourite because they sit so low and look good with my sneakers.' 'If I'm teaching pilates, I love a baggier pant. I've really been loving PE Nation at the moment and they also just look really nice on the arse.' Man Down Track Pants, $165 at THE ICONIC 'If you are going from pilates to coffee or brunch and you want to look cool, Nagnata is the way to go.' Nagnata Retro Short 2.0, $335.28 (down from A$355.60) at Revolve ' … and then I think out of everyone, Upside do the best track pants.' 'In terms of a sports bra, I have quite small boobs so there's not much to support. But I love Crop Shop Boutique, their cuts are super sexy.' 'Aim'n have really great tights and the way they frame the derrière is REALLY good.' 'Lululemon tights are also fantastic and they keep really well too.' 'I love On, they're the best. They're so supportive. Even when I'm running around the studio, they're one of my favourites.' WHAT'S THE BEST WORKOUT EQUIPMENT FOR BEGINNERS? 'A booty band is amazing. You can do your arms, your glutes, your core – there's so many incredible ways to use it. And they're also really inexpensive, which is nice if you are just wanting to test it out and see.' WHAT PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR MAKEUP BAG? 'Today I'm just wearing tinted moisturiser with a Glossier blush. They've got these little tubes that you just tap on and if you go overboard, you can always put it on your lips.' 'I love to use an eyelash curler, it really helps to lift and open. And then I just use a L'Oreal mascara.' WHAT PRODUCTS ARE IN YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE? 'I use a Sisley night cream and eye cream. That's my bedtime regime.' 'Their moisturiser is really beautiful. I wore it on my wedding day as a body moisturiser and my skin was glowing. It's incredible. I always use it when I go to events, it's my special thing that I use.' WHAT'S YOUR BEST UNSEXY BEAUTY HACK? 'Dry brushing. It's not sexy seeing all of your dead skin cells going everywhere but it's incredible for circulation. It can help reduce cellulite and gets all your fascia moving as well.' WHAT'S THE WEIRDEST THING WE'D FIND IN YOUR BEAUTY CUPBOARD? 'Lube... I use it in my hair, it's the best thing for a wet look. But don't use oil-based lube because I did that and it'll just make your hair look greasy.' WHAT WAS THE BEST GIFT YOU RECEIVED FOR YOUR WEDDING? 'Dawn Candles. I love them, they're unbelievable. I was so lucky because I got a few as engagement gifts.'

Crowd-favourite electrolyte brand took over Bondi Icebergs on a mission to rehydrate Aussies
While there are plenty of electrolytes on the market, there's one that I keep repurchasing because of its delicious taste. But my best-kept secret has gained even more popularity since the brand took over the iconic Bondi Icebergs, on a mission to hydrate Aussies with a science-formulated, tasty electrolyte drink mix. Liquid I.V is a powdered drink mix, available in four delicious flavours; l emon lime, strawberry, passionfruit, and tropical punch, designed to be mixed with water for on-the-go hydration. Studies show that at least 70 per cent of Aussies are experiencing daily dehydration, so it's more important than ever to stock up on travel-friendly electrolytes for when you're on the move, working out or sweating excessively. All flavours are available in 10 packs for $19.99 or 24 packs for just $39.99. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. As the 'Official Hydration Partner of Bondi Beach,' Liquid I.V took over Bondi Icebergs, shocking locals by emptying the pool to raise awareness of the number of Australians experiencing dehydration. Visible cracks appeared in the pool floor, before they were dramatically rehydrated to demonstrate how important it is to stay hydrated for the 70 per cent of Aussies who are experiencing dehydration daily. The takeover saw many popular faces, including international models Elle Ferguson and Jordan Barrett, Bernadette Sukkar (Body By Berner), Love Island Australia winner Em Miguel-Leigh. 'Last weekend, Liquid I.V. kept fans hydrated at the Fisher x Chris Lake Sydney Pop-up. This week, Liquid I.V. has drained Bondi Icebergs of all water, to spark conversations on the issue of dehydration amongst Aussies,' Harrison Power, Unilever Senior Brand Manager Health & Wellbeing Australia tells Best Picks. 'As Bondi Beach's Official Hydration Partner, Liquid I.V. has been strategically placed to keep the community hydrated, in moments when they need hydration most.'
