Lip Balm which is designed to bring a sweet, hydrating pop of colour to the lips, at £24.98. But it's not all demure beauty products to shop. Florence by Mills' fashion line also features prominently. Listings include cosy loungewear, underwear, cotton tees with a lace trim, ribbed sweaters, cardigans and even travel accessories, like crossbody bags and duffle luggage. Alternatively, shoppers looking for a flattering silhouette, whatever they're wearing, can head over to Skims for the latest in shape and loungewear. Our top pick is the Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress. At £86, the figure-hugging style is made using modal rib material, falling to a maxi length. Shoppers can also find flattering wardrobe staples at Boden.

There are three lengths available. There aren't many reviews for Florence by Mills products on Amazon yet, but shoppers have raved about the Cozy Crush Seamless Triangle Bralette (£12.61). One reviewer stated: "Wow, a soft bra that fits bigger boobs! So comfy and soft. My favorite bra at the moment." A second review shared: "Even though it looks really small out of the package, the amount of stretch it provides made it an easy fit and wasn't difficult to get over my head and shoulders (or even hips) to get on. Once on, it felt soft and comfortable." A third person raved: "This bralette is comfortable. The fit is true to size. It's a nice t-shirt bra for days when you don't need much support. I love the lilac colour also. However, one person noted: "A cute bra but runs a little small, so if you have larger breasts - you may want to size up." With Amazon Prime convenience and affordable prices, it's now possible to snap up Florence by Mills' clean beauty, cosy clothing and lifestyle pieces in one spot.

What if ‘Stranger Things' happened in India? It wouldn't
With Netflix dropping the much-awaited teaser for the final season of Stranger Things, fans are bracing for one final trip to Hawkins — a fictional town in Indiana, in the 1980s, where teenagers bike through forests, battle monsters, and hide their escapades from the clueless adults of the town. But for a moment, let's replace Hawkins with a small town in India. Same decade. Same small-town energy. Still the 80s. Would the Upside Down survive that? Absolutely not. Let's start with the core premise of Stranger Things: A bunch of teenagers – Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair and Will Byers — who spend hours together (after school), unsupervised, fighting monsters in the woods. Back in the day, school, homework, playtime, helping with chores and constant adult supervision left very little room for that kind of freedom. Even an extra hour of park time came after a great amount of bargaining. The idea of bicycling after dark? You'd be met with angry and worried parents, threatening to sell the cycle that is spoiling their child. Also, they will never let you live down the incident for the rest of your life. The Stranger Things gang operates as a relatively equal group, where Eleven, a young girl, is the central character and the protector of the town and her friends. In India in the '80s, a young teenage girl navigating public spaces freely and without supervision, especially after dark, would raise far too many eyebrows. There is no version of a small town in India, both then and now, where Eleven could get away with aggression without being branded as spoilt or out of control. Even the idea of Max Mayfield, Eleven, or Nancy Wheeler being friends with the boys and hanging out with them would be a distant dream (a nightmare even, if an aunty in the neighbourhood snitches on you to your parents). Women's agency, especially in small towns back then, was heavily policed – often by family, neighbours, and social expectations. Even the unlikely friendship between Steve Harrington and the gang would be very unlikely, because their parents would have already warned them about being friends with a 'bad influence'. And if not that, the age dynamics and the notion that older boys are too cool to hang out with the younger ones would stop their endearing friendship from ever taking off. And then there's the social structure of the towns in Stranger Things . In Hawkins, the kids can keep secrets. In small-town India? Not so much. Privacy was — and still is — a luxury. When you live in a small town, you know all your neighbours, and all of them know you. It's like an extended family. Everyone notices everything, even a small change in routine. In that scenario, a new face in the colony would have at least three households speculating. The 'secret mission' trope simply doesn't hold when everyone knows everyone, and someone is always watching. Even the parenting styles differ. Hawkins is filled with checked-out adults, the only exception being Joyce Byers and Jim Hopper. But in the India of the 1980s, most parents — regardless of class — were involved. Overinvolved, sometimes. Education, reputation, obedience — these weren't just values, they were family expectations. Any sign of rebellion was met with curfews, not curiosity. You would never get to fight any monster when you barely get to pick your outfit. The real question is not whether the monsters in Stranger Things could survive in small-town India. It's whether the kids could.

'I'm a TV writer and found a way to get Netflix and Sky TV for 50p per day'
Stranger Things season five is slowly but surely edging closer and TV writer Jake Hackney has found a way to secure a Netflix and Sky TV subscription for 50p per day ahead of its launch. It's been a big week for Netflix as the streamer finally dropped the first trailer for Stranger Things season five. On Wednesday, exactly nine years and one day after the sci-fi series first aired, Netflix gave fans their first-look at its final chapter. The footage shows Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the gang returning for 'one last adventure', each united by a single goal: to find and kill Vecna. Season five is set to premiere in three parts, with volume one (episodes one to four) on November 27, followed by volume two (episodes five to seven) on Boxing Day, and the finale on New Year's Day. It feels like an age since season four, so I'm sure I'm not the only one who's felt their interest waning in the interim. However, after seeing the new trailer this week I'm happy to say Netflix has well and truly pulled me back in. It's fair to say the hype around the new season is building, and it's sure to keep going throughout the rest of the year. With that, many fans are likely scrambling for different ways to find a cheap Netflix subscription. Earlier this year, the streamer raised its subscription fees yet again, with its entry-level Standard with Ads tier now costing £5.99 per month. However, as a TV and tech writer, it's my job to find ways to watch all the latest series while keeping costs down, and I know how to get Netflix and Sky TV for 50p per day. The deal comes directly from Sky, which includes a free Netflix subscription with TV packages like the Essential TV bundle. For £15 per month, this provides free Netflix access, more than 100 channels including Sky Atlantic and a Discovery+ subscription. When breaking it down, this works out at 50p per day over a 30-day period. The bundle comes on a 24-month term, meaning those signing up can secure a Netflix subscription for two years. It typically comes with Netflix Standard with Adverts, which usually costs £5.99 when joining direct, meaning members essentially pay £9.01 for 100 TV channels and Discovery+. There is the option to upgrade to Netflix Standard or Premium for those who prefer ad-free viewing, priced at an extra £6 or £11 respectively. Sky also lets those with an existing subscription keep the same account, so they don't pay twice. Sky isn't the only provider to tempt customers with free Netflix access, as Virgin Media also includes a free subscription with its own TV packages. However, although they include much more, they also come with a higher price tag. The cheapest package that comes with Netflix is the £64.99 Biggest Combo bundle; usually priced at £78.99, this also comes with more than 200 TV channels, Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and 516Mbps fibre broadband. However, one downside to both Sky and Virgin's plans is that they both increase their prices every April in an inflation-linked rise. This means the price paid is likely to go up twice in the next 24 months. Sky is yet to confirm how much its prices will go up in April 2026, but this year it introduced a 6.2% rise, so we may see something similar next year. Virgin has already set out its planned changes, with the £64.99 plan rising to £68.49 from April 2026. Despite this, both Sky and Virgin customers can enjoy every season of Stranger Things, as well as Squid Game, Bridgerton and much, much more.
