Ever calmed down after being told to calm down? Yeah, nah. Us neither. But  everywhere we look, we’re being told to emotionally regulate. 

Plus, Jessie and Holly would like to recommend a TV show to you, but… can’t. So, instead they're giving their pick of beauty products while Em’s bringing you an essential follow.

And best & worst of the week. Welcome visitors, a family loss, a grumpy baby and a hell of a hangover.
