Ages ago, in a dim and distant millennia, Benefit’s Get Bent brush was my very first make-up miracle. I proclaimed it the only make-up brush worth having and that its prowess for applying eyeliner was unbeaten. Well, that hasn’t changed. But now, I have found the perfect eyeliner for it to apply.

Alphabeat’s Fascination may well be one of my favourite songs of the last decade. Essentially Footloose re-spun Scandi-style, ground-breaking stuff it certainly wasn’t, but sold with such a boundless joie de vivre that you couldn’t help but smile (and the ‘Word is on your lips… say the word!’ section is just shiny pop brilliance).

But dear reader, before we hear from the woman herself - we want you to have your say - how many do you think she’ll answer? Hit “see more” to get involved.
The flood of books swamping the doormat at TT HQ means I sometimes greet the thought of ploughing through another “teen” novel with the enthusiasm I would normally save for a 3-hour listening session of Peter & Katie’s greatest musical hits. Read: not very. The good news? When I started reading No & Me I was blown away by both the originality of the story, and freshness of the writing. Let’s not beat around the proverbial bush here I LOVE this book. Hit “see more” to read a full review of a book I’m confidently labelling one of the best of the year (and it’s only March)…
