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. 😉

Skechers Gives Us A Cheeky Kiss💋

For Valentine’s we wore our hearts on our sleeves, but we’re continuing the love on our feet with this new Skechers collaboration with Belgian fashion designer, Diane Von Furstenberg.

And activewear lovers – this one’s for you as the matching apparel is giving sculpt, stretch and support with their new leggings, shorts and racerback bra. We’re getting flustered just talking about it ☺️

How? Standout piece ‘Smoothing Stretch Jean’ has butt lifting, mesh lining and faux pockets for the aesthetic. Truth Hurts but you might have to swap out those jeans that are collecting dust for these new ones 😉

Our hormones can make it hard for us to keep up with skincare, but new plant-based skincare brand, The SABI says “it’s not about surviving your hormones, it’s about thriving”.

A Trio Of Exclusive Candles 🕯

They say all good things come in threes and STORIES Parfums couldn’t agree more. The brand has launched two sets of 3 candles, all sustainably made and inspired by their individual fragrances. We all love a good candle but what makes them better is that they are limited edition and exclusively sold as sets of 3 for £95. The trio are hand poured and refillable which are created from organic ingredients such as soy, rapeseed oils and coconut. It’s like we can smell them already. STORIES No.1 collection consists of a range of citrus, floral and fruity smells while STORIES No.2 is musky, dark and rich. Pick your poison! 🍃

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? ☕️
