RELATED: Shoppers divided over '90s Kmart buy
'It's stunning!'
Aussie TikTok user @taylahmaree has taken to TikTok this week to share a video of the brand new Water Ripple Light from Kmart.
'RUN don't walk to KMART!' she said in the video, showcasing the bargain buy.
'They now have the viral water ripple lamp & it's stunning!'
The Water Ripple Light Taylah described as 'so relaxing' is brand new, and only $20.
Its goal is to create this calm and ambient atmosphere, projecting 'soothing wave patterns' to transform any room. The light has 16 different colour options with water ripple lighting effects, so you can adjust the brightness and colour for any mood.
'NO WAY!!!'
Commenters on the post said they had been well and truly influenced, saying they were going to head out and buy one (or had bought one already).
'I literally saw this and bought it lmao it looks so good haha,' said one commenter.
'Omgggg I knew I should've bought this the other day!!' another said.
'NO WAY!!! What section is this in!!!' another asked.
'I'm influenced. Just ordered it,' said a fourth.
'For labour mood lighting though?'
But, it was mums - and mums to be - who were most impressed.
'I think my baby needs this (he isn't born yet and his aunty already bought a night light for him),' said one commenter.
'Might get one for my unborn baby too! (I'm not even pregnant yet),' another agreed.
'Ok but for labour mood lighting though? Yes please!' said a third.

The Temper Trap break nine-year silence with new single ‘Lucky Dimes'

Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Aussie global hitmakers The Temper Trap are back together after a nine-year hiatus with a surprise new song 'Lucky Dimes.' The quartet have been riding high on social media and streaming over the past 18 months with a succession of popular remixes of their 2009 smash 'Sweet Disposition'. The love for that song continues at home with 'Sweet Disposition' landing at No. 11 on Triple J's recent Hottest 100 Australian Songs poll. They also enjoyed a viral moment when TikTok fans resurfaced a track by late rapper Mac Miller which heavily sampled the Temper Trap's hit 'Love Lost' and now has more than 400 million streams. Frontman Dougy Mandagi blamed burnout and a fear of repeating themselves for the band's long break between their 2016 album Thick as Thieves and their return to the singles game with 'Lucky Dimes'. The Temper Trap brings back 80s band photo style to launch new single. Picture: Alberto Zimmerman / Supplied. 'There was a little bit of burnout, but for me personally, I think I just couldn't see a path forward at the time where we would do something that would sound fresh and new and exciting,' he said from his London home. 'It just seemed like if we were going to get back in the studio … that we would just come out with more of the same and I didn't want to be in the studio for another 18 months doing Sweet Disposition 2.0. 'I needed to take a break and do other things and soak in more inspiration from life, the world, and different music, and I pursued a side project, a solo project as well, which was fun to do.' Mandagi got the band back together with Jonny Aherne, Toby Dundas and Joseph Greeran two years ago and have been steadily working on new songs as well as returning to festival stages. The Temper Trap have been enjoying viral success with Sweet Disposition remixes. Picture: Supplied. He said the older, wiser quartet were closer both personally and professionally after the members spent almost a decade pursuing their own creative endeavours and raising their respective children. 'I think the band is in a much better place now, we're closer than we've ever been,' Mandagi said. 'I would dare say that we actually had even more fun writing this record than we did the first record, when we first got together. 'It's cool, we've just been through a lot in life, we all have families now and I guess there's less ego in the room.' The band are working out tour dates in Australia for early 2026. Picture: Supplied. The darker-edged 'Lucky Dimes' has a 90s electronic rock vibe similar to Garbage, who have just announced their return to Australia for the first tour in a decade with the Good Things festival. The band worked with Grammy-nominated Aussie producer Styalz Fuego whose credits include hits with Troye Sivan, Charli XCX and Khalid. 'I'm a 90s child so I was the right age to receive all that good music. So yeah, we're just tapping into stuff we like,' he said. The single is out now with The Temper Trap still confirming plans to return for an Australian tour in early 2026.

Spooky new Aussie mystery will have you hooked

A little spooky, a little mysterious and a lot of intrigue - Playing Gracie Darling is the next Aussie show to have you hooked. We open with a group of teens playing with a ouija board in a dark old shack. They seem to be conversing with a spirit of some sort, before one of them starts seizing. Cut to 30 years later, and those teens have grown up. Well, all except one, who's been missing since 1994 - Gracie Darling. Joni (Morgana O'Reilly, The White Lotus) is now a child psychologist, and she's called back to her old hometown when another Darling girl goes missing. She speaks with a girl who was with the missing Darling that night, and finds out they had been 'playing Gracie Darling' - a Talk To Me-esque game where local bored teens attempt to summon the spirit of the missing teenager from three decades ago. Coming back into town brings up a lot of memories for Joni, especially when she's around all her old friends, including Jay (Rudi Dharmalingam), who is now a police officer. The show is well-acted, well-paced and has a solid heaping of intrigue to keep you on your toes and desperate to get to the next episode. You'll also spend each episode wondering if this show is actually supernatural or if the paranormal activity is all in their heads? The cast also includes Harriet Walter, Celia Pacquola, Annie Maynard and Dan Spielman. Like The Last Anniversary, Playing Gracie Darling is also set around the Hawkesbury River, which is turning into quite the filming destination for Aussie TV. Netflix's altogether ookiest show is back with the return of Jenna Ortega's Wednesday. Four episodes have been released, constituting the first half of the second season; the rest is set to drop on September 3. This time around Wednesday's younger brother Pugsley (a significantly taller Isaac Ordonez) is joining her at Nevermore Academy, and parents Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Gomez (Luis Guzman) are sticking around too. There's several new faces this year, starting with Principal Dort (a spritely Steve Buscemi), Wednesday superfan Agnes (an impressive Evie Templeton), new music teacher Miss Capri (Billie Piper) and Grandmama (a delightful Joanna Lumley). There's also plenty of appearances from familiar faces like Christopher Lloyd (who was Fester Addams in the 90s), Thandiwe Newton, Heather Matarazzo, Anthony Michael Hall, Haley Joel Osment and Frances O'Connor. While this season still has plenty of panache and the casting and performances are all perfect (especially Fred Armisen as Fester, who is the high point of this first half of the season), Wednesday is suffering from a style-over-substance issue. Perhaps because we only get part of the season, the narrative feels much weaker than it did in the show's dynamic debut, and some storylines seem to distract from rather than flesh out the core plot. There's nothing here that's as instantly iconic as Wednesday's season one dance sequence, but there are fun sequences still. One of the best moments of this half season is Miss Capri and Morticia's beautiful campfire duet of Bad Moon Rising. If you've seen Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, then you basically already know this story. The crime drama lifted liberally from the details of this real-life heist for its lacklustre sequel, but reality is more interesting than fiction here. This doco covers the heist of at least $100 million worth of diamonds and other valuables from the diamond district in Antwerp in 2003. It's a fascinating case, told through unobtrusive reenactments and interviews with police who investigated the case, and even one of the criminals involved. As much a study of the crime itself as a character piece on one of the Italian men behind the heist (it is fascinating to watch him edit the story in real time to make himself less complicit), Stolen: Heist of the Century is a great way to pass an hour and a half. It's genuinely hard to believe this crime, which feels highly cinematic in nature, was actually commited. Outlander fans rejoice! The beloved epic romance series' spin-off Blood of My Blood has arrived on Stan. The series serves as a prequel to Jamie and Claire's story, and follows their respective parents' love stories. Episodes are dropping weekly. AppleTV+'s comedy series with Seth Rogen and Aussie Rose Byrne, Platonic, is back for season two, with episodes arriving weekly. In the mood for some Spanish black comedy? HBO Max has Rage, a show following five middle-aged women reaching their limits. Over on Prime Video you'll find a new buddy (kinda) cop comedy, The Pickup with Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson.

‘Just gave birth!': Jessica Mauboy's post-baby sex admission

Aussie songstress Jessica Mauboy welcomed the arrival of her baby girl Mia in January, but the new mother has admitted her sex life has not taken a hit. If anything, she told Kyle & Jackie on Thursday that her desire to get intimate with husband Themeli Magriplis has gone into overdrive. 'I've been quite the opposite,' she told the shock-jocks. 'My ovaries are like, 'Hey girl, you want another one?'' With the radio hosts in stitches, the mother added: 'I'm like, 'well damn, I just gave birth!'' Each parents themselves, Kylie & Jackie O empathised with the mother, who begged her overactive sexual organs to slow down. 'I love that!' Kyle remarked. 'Give mumma time to recover before another one.' 'Please.... give this body.... a moment,' Mauboy joked. Jessica Mauboy. Credit: Justin Lloyd The 36-year-old and her husband — who is of Greek heritage — met at a nightclub in Darwin when both were 18. Engaged in 2019, the pair tied the knot in the Top End in 2022 surrounded by friends and family. Fast forward to the early stages of parenthood, Mauboy told Stellar in March that she wasn't sure how much of her personality or physical traits she wanted their Mia to inherit. 'I look at her and it's 'whoa!' because I see myself, that little frown,' Mauboy said. Jessica Mauboy was recognised at the NIMAs last weekend. Credit: Jessica Mauboy 'I'm not sure I want her to have my personality, because it's rough and it's tough … She's constantly changing every day, another little roll, another crease.' In July, the singer told fans she's got 'new music coming', before releasing her single While I Got Time on August 1. She was inducted into the National Indigenous Music Awards Hall of Fame on Saturday.
