Kmart just dropped a $16 accessory with a hidden feature women are OBSESSED with
The new black sling bag has landed in stores across Australia - and it's the hidden pocket for storing a water bottle that's winning customers over.
The sleek crossbody bag is compact yet spacious, featuring multiple compartments for easy organisation - ideal for daily use, travel and even outdoor hiking adventures.
The accessory has many pockets so you can organise and stash essentials such as phone, headphones, wallet and more in easy-to-find places, without having to rummage or pull everything out just to find keys.
'This Kmart sling bag is built for life on the go,' a Kmart employee said in a video.
'Whether you're taking the dog for a walk, crossing things off your to-do list or exploring a new city, this bag has your back
'Just look at how much I can fit in it - and there's still so much space for all of your other must-haves.
'And did we mention this hidden water bottle pouch? Let's just say it's the kind of detail you'll wonder how you lived without.'
The video has been viewed more than 90,000 times - with many saying it's the 'perfect walking bag' for storing all their personal belongings.
'I need it,' one said.
'I'm running to Kmart,' another shared.
Earlier this week, beauty-obsessed shopper Mya Bertolini found the ultimate budget beauty hack that will save you thousands of dollars per year.
She shared her knowledge on on social media, unveiling a $5 bargain that instantly makes nails look like they've just left the salon.
Mya revealed she can make the OXX Cosmetics French tip coffin-shaped press-ons from Kmart ($5) last an impressive three weeks - without the price tag or damage of a professional set.
'These used to last me only three days,' she said.
'Now they last me three weeks. They're so good. I will never get acrylics again.'
The beauty lover explained that the key to long-lasting results isn't just from the product itself, it's all in the prep too.
'All you're going to need is a nail file and pure acetone,' she said in the clip.
'I got these at a beauty supply store.'
Mya began pushing back her cuticles and gently buffing her natural nails. 'You don't want to damage them.'
Next came what she says is the most important step - wiping the nails with pure acetone to strip away any oils on the nail plate, which could affect how well the glue sticks.
'It's going to completely get rid of all the oils,' she explained.
Once her nails were clean and prepped, she used the glue that came with the Kmart set to apply the press-ons.
The final result was a flawless, professional-looking manicure for a fraction of the cost.

Kim Kardashian's sunburn and Vanessa Hudgens's bikini slip top the list of iconic getaway disasters
Celebrities like to think that their profiles give them access to some of the finer things in life, jetting off to exclusive destinations to top up their tans in the sunshine. But while they may be able to swerve the struggles of flight delays, long coach transfers and hotel mix-ups, it seems they aren't immune from the vacation fails that plague us mere mortals. Even A-Listers such as Lauren Sanchez and Kim Kardashian have battled some serious vacay gaffes. Kim Kardashian's nasty sunburn Given her profile as one of the most followed women on the planet, it's no surprise that any snaps Kim K shares spark a social media frenzy. And back in 2009, Kim sought help from her followers with a commonplace holiday problem, after falling asleep with her sunglasses on while sunbathing in Mexico. In the viral image she shared on X, then known as Twitter, she pleaded for advice on how to reduce the redmarks, after being left with the hilarious lines on her face. She captioned her post: 'I am so sunburned and need help! I'm in Mexico and I was sunbathing when I fell asleep with my huge Prada butterfly sunglasses on and now look at me! I'm going to have to hide from cameras for days. 'I usually never get red, I always get dark. It hurts! Do u guys have any remedies I can try to help ease the pain and get rid of the redness.' She went onto tell US Magazine: 'My whole body is burned, but my face looks the worst because of the glasses. I will never wear sunglasses when sunbathing again!' Kate Moss's unlikely beach accessory Since her rise to fashion fame, Kate Moss has made headlines with her wardrobe choices, and her lavish getaway to Ibiza has been no different. Most holiday-goers would opt for a low-budget tote for a trip to the beach, fearing damage by the sand, sun cream, or water. But not Kate, as the supermodel opted to carry her essentials in a $46,000 Hermes Birkin bag as she headed to the beach for a spot of sunbathing. The legendary bag was first created in 1984 in honour of the singer Jane Birkin, and last month the first ever one was sold at auction for $11.5million. Despite her bag's huge price tag, Kate seemed unfazed by the prospect of it being damaged on the beach, as the piece was covered in sand while she headed to her lounger to top up her tan. Lauren Sanchez's battle with her heels Following her lavish wedding to Jeff Bezos in June, Lauren Sanchez has grown accustomed to the finer things in life. And the couple have been enjoying an extended honeymoon of sorts, relaxing on the Amazon billionaire's $485million superyacht in Ibiza. But Lauren was determined not to let the terrain dictate her style choices as she appeared to struggle to keep her footing on the rocky shore. In her first outing on Sunday, Lauren didn't forgo her stiletto heels as she clung to Jeff's hand on the uneven terrain. But it seemed the fears of a broken ankle did ring true for the former journalist, as the next evening she kicked off her shoes and went barefoot on the beach and boardwalk. Vanessa Hudgens' bikini blunder Stars descending on the world's most picturesque beaches are no doubt ready to show off their figures in swimwear. But when Vanessa Hudgens jetted to Hawaii for a getaway with her then-boyfriend Austin Butler, she struggled to hang onto the top of her string two-piece. The star had been enjoying a dip in the ocean in her colourful bikini when the top suddenly began to unravel. Luckily, she was quick to grab her top and put it back in place, in a bid to avoid any unexpected flashes.

Learned Behaviours by Zeynab Gamieldien review – murder mystery probes privilege and class politics
Interrogating your privilege can be a divisive, somewhat uncomfortable endeavour – but the way it underpins everyday lives makes for great fiction. It's a topic that has been explored via familial relationships in Brit Bennett's The Vanishing Half, through the employer-employee dynamic in Kiley Reid's Such a Fun Age, and in a schoolgirl narrative in Alice Pung's teen novel Laurinda. Australian author Zeynab Gamieldien's second book, Learned Behaviours, also tackles the issue, via a murder mystery: a searing look at how the intersections of race, class and gender can affect the trajectory of a person's life, even when they no longer seem consequential. It follows Zaid, a prospective barrister who has made considerable efforts to shed his past in a diverse outer part of Sydney known to locals as The Area, which he describes as a 'broad collection of western Sydney suburbs with Canterbury-Bankstown at its heart'. He has travelled overseas, lived in London, drives a Mercedes, and works a job that sees him socialise with the wealthier and whiter north shore and eastern suburbs types on weekends. There he 'assume[s] the role of informant' on the quirks of his past life; it's a currency he trades off in his new world. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning That past comes back to him in the form of Amira, the sister of his high school best friend, Hass, who killed himself after being arrested for the murder of a female friend in their final year of school. Amira has found Hass's diary and asks Zaid to read it, convinced her brother might have been innocent. Her request draws Zaid back in time to confront painful memories, make rattling revelations and square up to his own role in his friend's death. Told between his high-school past and the present, Learned Behaviours isn't a typical murder mystery. Fans of true crime and meticulously plotted crime fiction might find the ending lacks the kind of detail that provides closure; they might even scoff at the possibility that the police bungled the investigation so spectacularly. But this book is not about a clean finish or plausibility (I could never imagine the boys I know from The Area keeping a diary, for example). In it, the intricacies of the murder investigation take a back seat to the bigger themes of belonging, upward social mobility and wrangling a past that weighs heavy on your present – not just in Zaid's case, but in that of his father, Tapey, who is constantly dwelling on the injustices he experienced in District 6 in apartheid South Africa. Gamieldien has done an excellent job of interrogating privilege without being sententious or didactic. It's in the cost of Zaid's barrister training, which he feels more than his moneyed colleagues; it's in the bills piling up in his father's home, and Tapey's reticence to seek compensation for the wrongs done against him; it's in his sister Iman's struggle to leave an abusive relationship in London and return home with a young child in tow. Despite appearances, Zaid knows he has not really 'made it'; he's perpetually on the outer edge of his colleagues' orbit, lacking the fancy school connections that are traded for favours in the workplace, and the weekends away at coastal second homes. Like Gamieldien's debut, The Scope of Permissibility – which explored the push-pull of faith and desire – Learned Behaviours explores social codes and what happens when they are broken. Zaid's inability to swim is a motif, representing how the stark disparity between social classes is experienced on even the most mundane levels. Zaid does his best to rectify it, and the novel is littered with scenes where he plunges himself into bodies of water, hoping for a shift. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Early on in the story, Zaid realises that ''making it' is not synonymous with movement', and that social climbing does not ensure success or belonging. As he ventures back to The Area more frequently – to continue visiting his father, yes, but also to spend more time with Amira – Zaid begins to recognise that getting out of The Area doesn't mean escaping it. Learned Behaviours is a pacy, compelling and immersive narrative that deftly tackles a weighty topic. It's understated but sophisticated, with more than one tragedy at its heart: a murder, yes, but also a necessary reminder that some people can 'afford missteps … requiring only a single step to get back on course', while others need to tread more carefully, or risk being derailed for ever. Learned Behaviours by Zeynab Gamieldien is out through Ultimo Press, $34.99

Ninajirachi: I Love My Computer review – a surprisingly moving tribute to 2010s EDM
In case the title of Ninajirachi's debut album didn't make it clear, the Australian producer spells out her love for all things electronica on its turbo third track: 'I wanna fuck my computer / Cuz no one in the world knows me better.' A glitched-out cacophony of bleeps, mechanical spirals and sirens, the track – titled, descriptively, Fuck My Computer – is a firework display of raw energy and excitement. That freneticism rarely lets up across I Love My Computer, an immensely fun and inventive dance album that doubles as a surprisingly touching coming-of-age story from one of Australia's minted electronic exports. After first gaining prominence as a triple j Unearthed High finalist in 2016 and 2017, Ninajirachi – real name Nina Wilson – established herself at the forefront of Australia's then burgeoning hyperpop community. But as the genre's saccharine synths, irreverent samples and pitched-up vocals went increasingly mainstream post-2020, Wilson expanded her sound further. She released a cerebral 2022 mixtape, Second Nature, and played a series of slots at major US festivals including Lollapalooza and Las Vegas's Electric Daisy Carnival. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning The now 25-year-old producer has started identifying her genre as 'girl EDM' – a tongue-in-cheek nod to the 2010s electronica she first fell in love with as a teenager online. Across the album's dozen tracks, Ninajirachi pays tribute to that nascent period. Repeatedly, music reaches out in a language only she can hear: On Fuck My Computer, 'it calls my name'. And CSIRAC, a throbbing track named after the first computer to play music (an Australian invention, incidentally), feels like a deranged, borderline inscrutable trip into Wilson's laptop. Across three minutes, the track jumps from chipmunk vocals to squelching acid-house breaks, metallic drones and pixelated breakbeats, as well as an eerie spoken-word bridge about following a sound. Which is exactly what the track is doing, racing through Wilson's computer at breakneck speed and transcribing its bleeps and bloops. But you don't need to overthink I Love My Computer to grasp the sincere depth of feeling Wilson has for her tech. In iPod Touch, another album highlight, Wilson links her music player to a flood of teenage memories. 'It sounds like high school, front gate, smoke in my face / It sounds like iPod Touch / yellow Pikachu case,' she sings, her sugar-rush delivery thrashed against a frantic beat. Not to will another reboot into existence, but it'd make a great theme for a gen Z take on Puberty Blues. Here, images of archetypal Australian teenage rebellion (including wearing tiny Supré shorts) are just as nostalgic as memories of 'me and my computer hanging out till late', blasting a bass-boosted Porter Robinson song and trying out free music production software. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Even with its 2015-specific imagery, iPod Touch encapsulates something universal. It sounds like the giddiness of adolescent discovery, where a song or artwork can cut through the confusion and awaken something so personal that you have no choice but to make it your entire personality. You might scoff at Wilson's awakening through EDM – arguably the defining sound of the previous decade thanks to the likes of Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Diplo. But I Love My Computer proves how much juice the genre has, especially stripped of its noxious frat bro connotations. Wilson readily embraces steady builds, squelchy drops and a relentless BPM rarely below 120. I Love My Computer isn't all euphoria, either. Delete is a twinkling ode to embarrassing Instagram stories, while Battery Death is a burnout lament built over dystopic error-synths. And on eurotrance track Infohazard, Wilson recalls stumbling upon a photo of a decapitated man on her computer as a teen. Led by a piano, it's one of the few times a non-digital instrument is easily identifiable on the album – offering a strange sense of warmth to the confused, confronting memory. Indebted to electronic pioneer Sophie, Wilson has never been focused on real-life restrictions, more interested in what she can create than replicate. With her debut album, Ninajirachi charts a long-term (and fruitful) relationship with her computer. It's very fun and surprisingly moving.
