We expect to have good mothers, and to marry, and to be good mothers. The arrival of baby Violet was meant to be the happiest day of my life. I would be different. I would be like other women for whom it all came so easily. I would be everything my own mother was not.
But as soon as I held her in my arms I knew something wasn t right. My husband Fox says I m imagining it. He tells me I m nothing like my own mother, and that Violet is the sweetest child. But she s different with me. Something feels very wrong. Is she the monster? Or am I?

Winter has arrived slightly early in the South Island, with freezing temperatures and dumps of snow in many places this morning.
A midnight storm dumped about a centimetre of snow onto the Porters Alpine Resort near Castle Hill near Arthurs Pass early this morning.
And parts of inland Otago woke to below-zero temperatures - down to -3.2C.
Porters operations manager Blair James hoped the cold snap was an early indicator of good snowfall this season.

Sustainability is a big conversation across industries and Australian beauty brand Bondi Sands isn’t afraid to get amongst it.
Marketing speaks with Alexandra Peek, the CMO at Bondi Sands about growing a quintessential Aussie brand, influencer marketing and the journey towards sustainability.
Bondi Sands was launched in 2012 and it quickly became Australia’s most popular self tanning brand on the market. Peek believes that Bondi Sands filled a gap in the market by selling “a quality product at an accessible price point”. Co-founder Blair James had experience running a lucrative spray tanning company. Together with fellow co-founder and entrepreneur, Shaun Wilson, they pounced. The competition at the time was mainly premium products that weren’t accessible to most consumers, or worse, the products that were affordable but streaky and prone to leaving an ‘oompa loompa’ complexion.
