Content Warning: Discussion on Disordered Eating and Mental Health

What words give you the ick for no apparent reason? We’re sharing ours and they’re pretty outrageous. Millennial style icons and the world’s most elusive twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, turned 40 over the weekend and it’s making us feel… middle-aged?! Plus, we’re sharing our top pick of ONE nice winter jumper each, because who has time for too many options. Then, the conversation about Ariana Grande we’ve been holding off on having, but we can’t stay silent any longer. We’re tackling Ariana, shrinking celebs, and the overnight death of the body positivity movement. Em Ratajkowski’s penned a divise essay for The Cut, titled  "Mother F---er: After my marriage ended, I began compulsively dating in order to figure out what kind of woman I wanted to be.” As our single mother dating correspondent, Lu has LOTS of thoughts. Next up, BB’s giving you the crashiest of crash courses in the 2026 FIFA World Cup - from where to stream it and when the Socceroos are playing next, to all the glorious stars to watch out for in the stands. We promise you’ll be an armchair expert by the end! Our ins and outs include an impractical new going out bag, cringey tech platforms and a dewy AF foundation.
