The Star's Life Inspired magazine is now brighter, better, and more energised with an all-new look. From horology to fine dining, we bring you the latest on luxury and lifestyle after the second Sunday of the month.

Our May issue, which is published on May 14 (Mothers Day), offers a tribute to all mothers in conjunction with Mothers Day. In our cover story, Shireen Zainudin – writer and co-founder of homegrown beauty brand Bluemolly – talk about motherhood and the invaluable lessons her children have taught her.

She shares her journey of raising a son and a daughter with a large age gap, her hopes for her children and her own parenting style. Shireen says being a mother has taught her what unconditional love is and what it means to put someone else's needs before her own.

Aside from juggling motherhood, Shireen has also pursued her own goals. She talks about how her beauty brand – founded together with her sister Yati Zainudin and friend Sherry Kamaruddin – was conceived during the pandemic, the philosophy behind her brand and the philanthropic plans she has lined up.
