In January's SALIFE, we celebrate all the winners and the glitz and glamour from the 2023 Absolute Best Awards. From unveiling the SALIFE Person of the Year, to the SA Home of the Year, this issue celebrates the innovation, creativity and beauty of our state. We also step inside a stunning beachside home, whip up fun summer cocktails and meet Torben and Richelle Brookman, the creative team behind this month's production of Miss Saigon.

When their Wayville family home was being renovated, Anna and Tony Evangelou decided to rent an apartment in Glenelg for a family sea change. That experience sparked a total lifestyle rethink, and led the couple to create their luxurious forever home on the beachfront at Hove.

The winners of the third annual SALIFE Absolute Best Awards were announced at a gala event at the Festival Theatre on December 7. Here, we celebrate the story of each of the winners.

From shoes, to pearls, handbags to jewels, Fashion Editor Emma Riemersma takes a trip down to the beach for a very special photoshoot with summer’s must-have accessories.

Natalie Homan whips up cocktails and mocktails that make the most of the summer colours – and fruits – to have your thirst quenched all season long.

Step inside the beautiful home of Torben and Richelle Brookman, whose Adelaide-based global entertainment company is one of many ventures run by this creative couple.
