Entering March Being Your Own VS Angel, Empowering Women With Monki, Keeping The Pearly Whites White And Staying #Merky 👼🏾😄📚💕✨

Happy March, FROW Fam! It’s a new week of news and that means new hints and drops starting with Fenty is brewing up a storm with the announcement that they will be returning in collaboration with Puma – ‘She’s back!’ and we couldn’t be happier. And of course, we’re not forgetting to mention Milan Fashion Week which has just come to an end. What were your favourite looks from the celebs who made an appearance? Let us know on our Twitter! And music listeners, listen up, as a new single by Chloë and Chris Brown – ‘How Does It Feel?’ and it’s only right we get excited for a possible future album drop by the singer-songwriter. 🎤 The music news doesn’t stop there, as none other than lover girl, SZA, won Billboard’s Woman of the Year Award🎙 and it is safe to say it was well earned. The artist has really had Ctrl over us since the drop of her newest album SOS.

International women’s day is approaching and what better way to embrace all things women than with your weekly roundup of hot fashion, beauty and lifestyle news? From shapewear with Lizzo to hormonal balance skincare with SABI and season 2 of a fashion competition, you’d want to tune in for. 😉

Hey Alexa, can you….? 🗣

We all know that annoying feeling of being in the most comfortable position but craving a brew. It’s like being caught between a rock and a hard place but the future’s looking bright because with the Swan Alexa Smart Kettle (£99.99) you can get the bubbles boiling without moving an inch. As if things couldn’t be cool enough, you can also ask Alexa to change the water temperature, refill or simply ask to keep the water warm in case you’re still not ready to move yet – you’re meant to stay cosy on your days off after all. You can also customise with personal commands for your breakfast routine to have that coffee ready or for your nightly cuppa. In a rush or in a comfy state, it works for both. Alexa, put the kettle on, will you? ☕️
