Harry Styles is BACK, the Beckham's festive feud & a viral NYE platter

⚠️ Includes Minor Spoilers ⚠️

It’s the most hyped film of the moment - clogging your feed, blowing up group chats and making everyone oh so toey for the moors. So, naturally, your Fifth Trimester field guides, Bella and Lu, took one for the team and headed to the cinema on behalf of you, our DLs. In this very honest (and horny, tbh) special ep, we answer the all-important question: Is Wuthering Heights worth your precious dollar bucks? We also zoom out to the broader cultural questions: what does this kind of romance do to modern dating? Corsets at the ready, bring your jelly, let’s get ready to yearn on the moors.

Is Wuthering Heights worth it? 🍆🐌

Happy Monday, DLs! We’re coming in hot for the week ahead with very exciting news that our fave showman, DJ extraordinaire, FISHER, has just announced a national tour of his Out 2 Lunch festival. Next, we unpack the shock split of Australia’s golden couple, comedian Celeste Barber and her ‘Hot Husband’, Api Robin, and why the news has Bella spiralling just a touch about her own relationship. To restore our faith in love, we take a squiz at how our fave celebs marked Valentine’s Day. From public park proposals to Bad Bunny possibly rekindling things with his ex, plus Brooklyn Beckham’s very pointed message to his family - it was a big weekend for loud and proud declarations of lurve. In news that will delight nostalgic Nancies everywhere, Sizzler is officially returning, which naturally has us asking: what else deserves a comeback from the golden years of the ’90s? Trip to Sega World, anyone? Finally, our ins and outs of the week feature a fun new print we’re all about to be wearing on repeat, plus an MVP beauty product that’ll only cost ya ten bucks.

The curse of the ‘Hot Husband’ 💔

Lu’s rolling in fresh from Laneway and fully committed to rocking the head-to-toe merch, while the Super Bowl Half-Time Show just happened, and Bad Bunny’s performance was politically poetic and as it was powerful and oh-so ICONIC. Bella reveals the greatest Australian children’s picture book of all time (according to ~the people~), Lu has thoughts, and Bella realises she relates to the Green Sheep on a deeply spiritual level. We drop a shocking confession as we unpack Taylor Swift’s epic ’90s rom-com-coded new video, Opalite, and why it feels like a not-so-subtle olive branch in her ongoing rift with Blake Lively. We also make the case for “finding your fishing” in your Fifth Trimester and why having a hobby (yes, even if it’s just joining your local library) is elite self-care. And finally, our ins and outs for the week feature the ultimate manicure hack, bestie bling and how to nail the perfect Galentine’s Day.
