What I'm loving this month...

SORBET RADIANCE BODY WASH

I’m not mad about overscente­d soaps and body washes, which is why I like this one. It’s got lovely foamy texture and a refreshing but subtle fragrance that fades quite quickly: just about perfect, in my view, because doesn’t overpower outlast my fragrance.

PEAR AND ELDERFLOWE­R SPARKLING DRINK

I spent Dry January on the lookout for a non-alcoholic drink that felt like an occasion, and this did the trick. I love the subtle flavour – and the fact that it only contains 4g of sugar! Their Cucumber and Ginger-flavoured drink is also good.

MARCH LILIES I know I love them every March. But they’re amazing! And as regular as clockwork.

THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL (AMAZON PRIME)

We nearly stopped watching this at least four times in the first episode because it seemed so twee – and it is – but the story really is about how all that is subverted into something real and funny and cringy and gorgeous: Midge Maisel’s husband leaves her for his secretary, and she finds herself behind a microphone in a grungy bar downtown somewhere in New York City, telling perfect strangers her story in very raunchy and sweary detail. She is funny. It’s the ’50s, and there are so many reasons why she shouldn’t be pursuing a career in undergroun­d comedy: she’s a woman, her friends and family don’t know, she has two very young kids, her husband isn’t actually a monster… but she is also compulsive. It’s such an unusual, interestin­g premise – and the clothes! Absolutely, mind-blowingly incredible.
