Want to be the next member of #MomTok? Here's 10 MUST-HAVE buys for fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives returned for its second season on May 15, and if, like me, you couldn't peel your eyes away from the drama, we've got everything you need to get your #MomTok fix before season two, part two, returns. The show, which centers around Taylor Frankie Paul and her 'soft swinging' scandal, follows nine Mormon influencers and their journeys with friendship, motherhood and MomTok - TikTok content that the group records together that initially shot them to internet fame before they landed the show. Whether you love or hate (or love to hate) reality TV, you can't argue that the Hulu series, which is available to watch on Disney+ in the UK, makes for great entertainment. And with the season two premiere hitting five million views in just five days of streaming, it's undeniably popular. From Sodastreams so you can get your 'dirty soda' fix at home (petition for the UK to get its own Swig location, please), to Taylor's exact lip combo, we've gathered all of the SLOMW-inspired buys you'll want to buy, ASAP. Now, if we could just get the theme tune out of our heads. SodaStream Terra Bundle Kit The #SLOMW girls are obsessed with 'dirty sodas', and since its release date, fans have been taking to TikTok to recreate or create their own versions of the girl's favourite drinks. Since, unfortunately, we don't have Swig in the UK, we're using a SodaStream to get our 'dirty soda' fix at home. The luxe machine allows users to create an endless variety of carbonated drinks at the push of the button, and customers have noted it's a great way to save on the expense of buying fizzy drinks at the supermarket. What's your favourite combination? £149.99 Shop Stanley Rose Quartz Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler Of course, you'll need somewhere to store your soda, and the #MomTok girls are rarely spotted without their trusty Stanley cups in tow. We love this baby pink option, with a convenient carry handle and straw for on the go sipping. Not only does it look super cute, but it also boasts vacuum insulation which keeps drinks cold for up to nine hours. £32 Shop Brushworks Pink Cloud Headband MomTok member Whitney Leavitt was widely regarded as the 'villain' of #SLOMW season one, and shocked viewers when she returned for season two groveling to become part of the group again. Whether you're a fan of Whitney or not, many TikTok users have dubbed her as the best dressed on the show, and she's rarely without a headband in tow! This bubble-shaped design would definitely get the Whitney stamp of approval, and customers have noted it's great for keeping hair out of your face when doing skincare or makeup. £8.99 Shop Will MomTok Survive This Graphic Sticker After the shocking revelation in the season two, part one finale, we've all been left wondering one question: will MomTok survive this? Made from a durable, water-resistant material, this graphic sticker is great for adding a SLOMW spin on your laptop, water bottle or notebook, and is the perfect gift for a friend who's equally obsessed with the show. £1.64 Shop Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner in Nude As if we couldn't love #MomTok queen Taylor Frankie Paul anymore, she took to TikTok to share her much-requested, signature lip look - and it's under £18 (and available in the UK, thankfully). Taylor shared that she uses Revlon's ColorStay Lip Liner in shade Nude to overline her lips - and the long-wear formula lasts for hours without smudging or bleeding. We're obsessed! £5.59 Shop Milani Keep It Full Lip Plumper in Soft Rose The next step in Taylor's lip routine is to slather on Milani's Keep It Full Lip Plumper in Soft Rose. The muted, pink-nude gloss applies like butter, and boasts a slight cooling sensation that provides a plumping effect to the list - you'll want to make sure it's always in your handbag. £13 Shop Free People Sprint To The Finish Pants Though we can't peel our eyes away from the on-screen drama, the fashion on SLOMW keeps us interested, too. The MomTok girls effortlessly stay looking comfortable and cute, often clad in athleisure get ups and coordinating sets. Taylor recently took to Instagram and shared a video in these Free People tracksuit bottoms, which, of course, prompted a flurry of comments asking where she got them. We've tracked them down for you, and the bottoms will not only pair great with an oversized tee or other items of workout wear, but also boast cosy fleece-lined interior to keep you snug when the weather cools down. £98 Shop Told You So by Mayci Neeley SLOMW star Mayci Neeley is set to release her own book in October, and it's now available to pre-order on Amazon - and we can't wait to read it. Described as a 'dark and funny memoir', the book will detail what growing up Mormon is really like, as well as her experience becoming an early mother and losing her son's father in a tragic accident. As well as providing readers with the inside happenings of the MomTok group, the book will also offer an insightful glimpse into Mayci's journey with love and loss. £21.46 Shop Amazon Basics Extendable Tripod On the latest season, MomTok member Mikayla Matthews revealed that she makes her husbands entire yearly salary off one brand deal alone. Tempted to start your own MomTok, yet? If so, you'll want to invest in this tripod from Amazon, which doubles as a selfie stick, with universal smartphone compatibility and a wireless remote. 100 per cent beginner friendly, it's a must have for those looking to form MomTok 2.0. £14 Shop

SodaStream UK review: I tested out the cult-classic drinks maker now slashed by nearly 50%
THE SodaStream has stood the test of time, surviving over a century since its founding in 1903. It's come a long way since then — these days, sparkling water is just one of many perks offered by the sleek devices. 5 SodaStream Art, £139.99 £74.99 from Amazon BUY HERE However, something that hasn't improved over time is my ability to drink any more than a sip of tea a day. So, in a bid to up my water intake by making it more interesting, I've decided to do a SodaStream review (with the added benefit that I could also use it to make cocktails). I reviewed the sparkling water maker to see if it lives up to the hype, whether it's worth the investment and if the novelty would help me to increase my abysmal water intake. Pros Super easy set up One gas canister makes 60 litres of soda water You can decide how carbonated you want the water Money-saving investment Convenient for summer gatherings, BBQs, etc Helps you to stay on top of your water intake Cons Slightly expensive when not on sale Rating: 9.5/10 How I tested the SodaStream 5 I tested the SodaStream by assessing how easy it was to set up, and how convenient and cost-effective it is compared to bulk-buying sparkling water. I evaluated the efficiency of creating different levels of carbonation and whether I could genuinely tell the difference when using it to make cocktails and other drinks. At Sun Shopping, it's our job to ensure we test everything thoroughly to provide a fair review, helping you to decide on purchases you've been pondering. SodaStream review: Quickfire Q&A How much is the SodaStream? On Amazon, the SodaStream Terra has been reduced from £109.99 to £57.11, a whopping 48% off, with the Art model slashed to £74.99. You can find further discounts on the SodaStream site. Who's it best for? Anyone looking to increase their water intake, or for regular hosts who continually end up buying soda water for parties or gatherings. What we loved: How easy it was to set up! I took one look at the gas canister and panicked, but it was extremely simple to assemble. I also love that you can determine how fizzy you want your water by holding the lever down for more or less time. What we didn't I really struggled to think of a con — the only thing I can think of is that it can't be packed away easily, but even then, it looks nice on a countertop and is far from an eyesore. SodaStream review: The Nitty Gritty First impressions 5 SodaStream Art, £139.99 £74.99 from Amazon BUY HERE Straight off the bat, the SodaStream was extremely easy to set up and comes with a very simple, clearly laid-out instruction manual. The machine itself feels lightweight but not cheap, and can easily be assembled by one person. I lifted it straight out of the box, opened up the back compartment, took the cap off the carbonated canister and clicked it into place. I then gave the bottle a little rinse, filled it with water up to the line, and inserted it into the front — and you're ready to go! Once everything is in place, I simply pulled the lever down to carbonate the water. 5 BUY HERE The lever can be held down for between one and five seconds to suit your carbonation preference. This makes it ideal for parties or last-minute gatherings, as the whole process (from unboxing to carbonation) took quite literally minutes. Does it deliver? The SodaStream delivered on all fronts. From price to easy assembly, the whole process was straightforward, and it even looks sleek on my countertop. SodaStream Art, £139.99 £74.99 from Amazon BUY HERE Most importantly, it did what I wanted it to do, which was to make me drink more water throughout the day, and my friends have commented on the SodaStream bottle now permanently planted by my side. How much is the SodaStream? There are various SodaStream models available. The Art retails at £139.99 on Amazon but is currently on sale for £74.99. The Terra model usally retails at £109.99 but has also been slashed by nearly 50% and is now £56.99 on Amazon. In the long run, the SodaStream is an investment; one CO2 canister creates 60 litres of sparkling water and cashes in at £12.99, equating to 20p per litre. Across major supermarket own brands, a bottle of soda water will set you back around 85p, working out at £51 per 60 litres compared to SodaStream's £12.99. At the higher end of the scale, one litre of Schweppes soda water from major supermarkets costs around £1.80, equating to £108 per 60 litres — more than eight times more expensive than SodaStream. Where to buy a SodaStream You can buy the SodaStream directly from the brand's site, or alternatively it's available at a range of retailers, including: SodaStream has a sale on site at the moment and on top of this the brand is offering 10% off when you sign up to the newsletter, as well as an extra £5 off Art Bundles with code EXTRA 5. SodaStream alternatives There are several alternatives to the SodaStream. SodaStream rivals.

Best sparkling water machines for eco-friendly fizz at home
There are various bundles and models (Spirit, One Touch and Crystal) to choose from, but all machines come with a portable carry bottle and one cylinder of gas, which is used to carbonate the water. They're also covered with a 30-day trial and two-year warranty. To use, simply twist the gas into the back of the machine, attach the provided bottle to the front and press the carbonation button - it's as simple as that. As well as black and white models, you can also pick from blue and sage green, and both the cordless Spirit and One Touch (which offers three levels of fizziness) are under 44cm, so you should be able to store them away without issue. The Crystal, which can be used with SodaStream's glass carafes, is taller at just shy of 55cm, so will be better suited to a countertop where visitors can admire (and envy) it when they pop round.
