Shay Mitchell's skincare line for toddlers is here. So, are sheet masks for your three-year-old just some harmless fun, or the latest commodification of girlhood?

And, everyone says “it takes a village”, but we beg to differ. Monique, Stacey and Amelia unpack why community is harder than ever to build, and whether we even want a village at all.

Plus, we have a new term for you: 'Hub-Sons' (aka 'Trad sons'). These stay-at-home sons are  causing quite a stir amongst a particular group who are not very happy about this new breed of men.

Our Recommendations:

🥗 Stacey recommends the Tik Tok famous, zero-cook 'Dense Bean Salad'.

🎄 Monz recommends um... 'wanking your tree' — bear with us here — it's the simple hack of making your budget friendly Christmas Tree feel a little more elevated. 

🤓 Amelia is obsessed with Hard Quiz Kids, the trivia show that has her entire family invested.
