NOW OVER TO YOU...

From the refugees we must never forget to the joy sofs wearingandre wearing, there is no topic off-limits for you chatty lot

LETTER OF THE WEEK WE’RE LISTENING

‘I will keep telling refugees’ stories until the world listens’ (18 September) brought me to tears. Not because this is a new story, but because it is an old one, which somehow barely registers on the news any more. The stories Adwoa Aboah highlighted were cruel reminders of just how difficult the refugees’ lives can be. The suffering these girls have endured is unimaginable, yet they manage to remain optimistic about their future – it amazes me. Thank you for including this article in the magazine, as it is imperative that the refugees are not forgotten and are not just used as political ammo. These stories are about people, they are about family, and highlighting their plight brings it to the forefront of people’s minds, which in turn could hopefully bring about change. Fiona

LOVE IS THE DRUG

It’s totally irresponsible to glorify the use of Ecstasy ( Bridal highs, 18 September). If you don’t feel a natural high on your wedding day and have to resort to a chemical one, legal or illegal, perhaps you have married the wrong man. And if you have carried so much tension with you to your wedding day, perhaps instead of having a ‘better’ wedding than your friends, you might stop and think why you need to have so much. Who is it for, them or you? Brenda

MOGG OFF

In ‘Don’t get her started… on Mogg’s moral march’ (18 September), Polly Vernon makes a dead accurate assessment of the appalling Jacob Rees-mogg. His views are vile and his ‘charm’, like Boris’s, is revealed as nothing but a sad hankering for a, thankfully, lost past. Polly is great and he is loathsome. Vayla

YOU BEAUTY!

Where do I start? The Big Beauty Issue (18 September) had me gripped. I am a total beauty junkie and I just couldn’t put it down. You packed in everything and more! From the Beauty map of Britain (so interesting) to the latest in skincare technology and the best scents to suit your mood, there was something for everyone! Thank you Grazia for satisfying my every need. I feel refreshed in my updated beauty knowledge and ready to hit the shops. Kerry

KOULDN’T KARE LESS

Any mention of Kardashians/ Jenners elicits nothing more than a yawn from me, followed by fast-forwarding through whatever affront to feminism and women’s intelligence is in front of me. Having enough money to spend on an outfit you will wear only once and pump your face and body full of chemicals is in no way aspirational to me. Any young woman who believes this clan are ‘the epitome of beauty’ should be advised to listen to P!nk’s Stupid Girls on repeat until they get the message. Sal

GETTING LIPPY

Smudging our lipstick over our face ( Best in show, 18 September)? High fashion or highly likely to result in us being branded a little unhinged? Taking inspiration from your other trend-spot (swearing), are you guys taking the piss? Love you though. Heidi

A NEW STORY

My fiancé and I got engaged earlier this year and I have a pre-owned ring ( For sale: one engagement ring, hardly worn, 11 September). I chose it and wanted something that had belonged to someone before me. This might sound strange, but I liked the idea that this piece of jewellery had a past and a future and that I would be a part of its journey. So I just wanted to say for every engagement ring that is sold because of a sad circumstance, there is another woman who is beyond excited to wear it and start their adventure. To anyone who has an engagement ring in their drawer that is surplus to requirements: don’t be sad, stash the cash and someone else will enjoy that ring as much as you once did. Nicola

SHOP TILL YOU DROP!

I loved the feedback on the ‘Why can’t shopping be my hobby?’ article ( Now over to you…, 18 September). I do love to shop but I tell people it’s my exercise routine. My phone always bleeps that I’ve exceeded target on a good shopping day. Bernadette
