Chris Feather from Sydney's 98 Gym has put together a 20-minute workout that won’t cost you a cent. And it can be done anywhere.

Kate Hudson and Carey Mulligan reportedly use the device, which claims to reduce fine lines and under-eye bags, and improve skin elasticity. (Plus, it has the added bonus of making you look like a supervillain for three minutes a day.) We strapped it on every night for a month to see for ourselves.

Down a nondescript Collingwood laneway, the cavernous space houses five intimate rooms where treatments are custom-built to address skin concerns from acne to rosacea. “Every facial is like a piece of art – never the same.”

It includes swish styling suites for complimentary personal styling; beauty rooms for facials by La Prairie and Chanel; concept stores by Dior, Gucci and Louis Vuitton; and a dedicated sneaker section.

From blood-red cat-eye frames designed by pro surfers, to designer sets that channel alpine slopes circa 2050, and a goth-friendly take on a classic silhouette – there’s something for every face shape.

The local jewellery label’s Crossley Street shop, designed by interior architect George Livissianis, is all bare brick and reflective surfaces – one of which swings open to reveal a hidden piercing studio.

There’ll be sessions with illustrator Campbell Walker (better known as Struthless), Aussie filmmaker Gracie Otto, former Mental as Anything guitarist and Mambo designer Reg Mombassa, and the visual effects team behind Marvel’s Avengers series, Industrial Light & Magic.

While it’s a romantic notion to jump in a van and camp wherever you like, it’s not always allowed. Here are the spots that won’t get you in trouble – from the banks of a majestic pink lake and a base camp for some of the best hikes in the state, to a luxe spot with not one, but two heated pools.

Its striking new collection stars the kaleidoscopic gem interspersed with diamonds in elaborate, intricate rings and statement necklaces. Plus there’s bumpy, bubbly chain earrings.

Its first Melbourne store – designed by acclaimed architecture firm Russell & George – is a cavernous space inspired by the deep sea. Inside you’ll find a striking new collection starring the kaleidoscopic gem, a selection of all-time bestsellers and a hidden suite for engagement ring appointments.
