The 17 best deals for Dine LA restaurant week, summer 2025
Why we recommend it: Soban is the best Korean restaurant in L.A., with some of the most delicious, unique banchan (side dishes) in Los Angeles. It's also one of the best restaurants in L.A. overall—and for the first time ever, it's participating in Dine LA. Here, Koreatown essentials like bibimbap and doenjang jigae (bean paste stew) are executed at the highest level; both dishes are available on the $25 Dine LA menu. The $35 all-day dinner menu, designed for sharing, also includes two of Soban's signature dishes: braised black cod and galbi jjim. For $11 more, a party of two can also go to town on their famous soy-marinated raw crab, which I think is the best of its kind in Los Angeles.

Frankie Bridge says 'you're dead to me' as she hints at feud with savage post
Frankie Bridge has sent fans into a tail-spin after sharing a cryptic post on social media claiming someone is 'dead' to her as she sipped wine in a video shared on TikTok Frankie Bridge has surprised fans with a cryptic post on TikTok - where she said someone was "dead" to her. The Saturdays singer is currently on holiday in the Maldives with her husband footballer Wayne Bridge. Taking to TikTok, the Loose Women panellist made a cryptic dig at an unknown person, seemingly suggesting she was holding a grudge. Over the video of herself holding and sipping on a glass of wine, she wrote: "You're so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I've just realised you're actually dead to me." In the caption on the actual post, she simply wrote: "Takes me a while, but once you're dead you're dead." READ MORE: Frankie Bridge's 'soft and comfortable' £22 maxi skirt is 'ideal for when you're out with the kids' READ MORE: Frankie Bridge swears by this Korean 'sensitive skin lifesaver' balm that gives 'glass skin' She didn't reference who or what she was talking about in the TikTok, which had the song What The Hell - sung by Avril Lavigne - over the top of the short clip. Frankie is currently in the Maldives with her husband and their two children - Parker, 11, and Carter, nine. They took their trip to Siyam World in the Maldives alongside Wayne's friend, football coach Luke Hampton, who was also celebrating his birthday, as well as Frankie's friend, Leah Meredith, who works with her brand Faves. In snaps from her holiday, Frankie showed off the floating breakfast baskets they had delivered in their private pool as well as a cake that said "happy birthday daddies". She also uploaded a string of photos with her husband and their two sons. In another post, she showed off her incredible figure in a pale yellow bikini, which she teamed with a blue cover up skirt. Frankie also filmed a video walking through the crystal clear waters and enjoying the sun. As well as being a panellist on Loose Women, Frankie has been open about her mental health and said it stemmed back years when she was in the girl group. She explained how she first realised she was struggling. She said: "I always had stomach aches. Can you remember Pepto Bismol? The pink horrible stuff? That would be in my bag, every day, because I always had like a funny tummy, like nervous stomach. At bedtime I couldn't breathe properly and things like that. "So I think like the anxiety was there, like I remember all of that, but I didn't know what it was. So I'd have like blood tests all the time and things like that and obviously nothing ever came back and back then I was just a 'worrier' - y'know, like it wasn't what it is now, do you know what I mean? But I think for me, the first time I realised that it was like a proper issue was actually in The Saturdays."

The Korean beauty buy first landed on consumer's radars after Meghan Markle included it in her 'handpicked curated collection' of beauty buys on Instagram. The brand also boasts celebrity fans such as Kylie Jenner, as reported by Hello. Formulated to give skin a 'glass-like glow' with an anti-wrinkle effect, key ingredients are hydrolysed collagen to improve skin firmness and provide elasticity, niacinamide and vitamin B3 to strengthen the skin's barrier and plant-derived squalane to help prevent moisture loss and give suppleness to skin.

Superdrug are currently running a buy one get second half price on select COSRX including the essence, toner and SPF50. Laniege is another Korean beauty favourite and the brand have recently launched a Bouncy & Firm Serum, available at Space NK for £39. Reviews are glowing, with users saying it is 'really hydrating' and 'sinks into skin effortlessly'. Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream £26 £17.49 Amazon Shop Deal Product Description Meghan Markle isn't the only person that's a fan of the Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream. Designed to be used as the last step in a skincare routine, more than 5,000 consumers have rated it on Amazon, giving it an overall score of 4.3 out of five. Some people use it in union with the Medicube Booster Pro, currently 30% off at Amazon for £17.150, down from £265.22. The LED Therapy Device 'reduced wrinkles immediately' according to one shopper. While another said: "I have been using for one week so far and have seen great results. This is an expensive product but if you invest in your skin care you will see results." A shopper that uses the Medicube Collagen Jelly and the Booster Pro together, wrote: "Just received today and used it tonight with my Booster Pro. The result is beyond incredible and amazing! The amount of hydration! It's just like the collagen mask (also by the same brand), very effective! Best that money can buy, I am so in love! Excited to see the results over time. This just simply can't be beat, I've never in my life experienced anything so hydrating." A second person said: "Using it together with my Medicube age-r booster pro and it gives amazing effect - smooths, removed lines (specially around my eyes) and give more plump and radiant skin effect. Ordered one more bottle." And a third shared: "My skin looks more radiant, even-toned, and refreshed. I love how it enhances my natural glow without harsh ingredients. If you're looking for something to boost your skin's health and glowy skin then this is absolutely worth trying!" Another shopper compared it to Clinique's £57 alternative, writing: "The way the cream dries is that of Clinique's 100hr moisturizer, clean and smooth. I notice it evens out my skin which can sometimes be red/blushed in the cheeks as I am pretty fair skinned. I also keep the jar in the refrigerator and the coldness of the jelly is super refreshing. 5 stars because this is a great cream and shows skin improvement." But, the texture of Medicube's Collagen Jelly Cream proved jarring for some users. One person felt the texture was worth it for the end results, saying 'this jelly feels really weird when you put it on your face, but honestly, my skin has never looked and felt better!' However, someone else was disappointed, commenting: "I want to love this product. I am a Medicube fan, however, this product doesn't get absorbed into the skin and sits on top. It makes the face excessively shiny and sticky. My hair always gets stuck to my face after using it." Singing Medicube's praises, a happy customer highlighted: "Absolutely delighted with my recent acquisition of Medicube! The jelly cream with niacinamide and hydrolysed and freeze-dried collagen has exceeded my expectations. The texture is light and absorbs quickly, leaving the skin hydrated and soft instantly. Since I used it, I have noticed a marked improvement in the luminosity and firmness of my face. "In addition, niacinamide has helped minimise the appearance of pores and unify skin tone. Collagen, meanwhile, provides a filler effect that decreases fine lines. I recommend this product to anyone looking for effective hydration and more radiant skin. It is an excellent investment for daily skincare."
