Squiz Recommends

Buying - When the weather starts warming up, we’re reminded that iced coffee costs more than hot coffee - so we’re making it at home. And all you need is this dooverlackie plus some water and ground coffee, and you’ve got yourself a new cost-efficient caffeine habit.

Reading - This long-read profile by British GQ on Paul Mescal. It maps out his acting career from Normal People 4 years ago to landing the lead role in the upcoming Gladiator II and everything else he’s done in between. Not only is it a great read, but there are some pretty okay pics in there too…

Cooking - We’ve got a snack for you - crispy fried enoki mushrooms. They’re tasty, crunchy, and perfect for weekend munching. Nom nom…

A genuine skin-changer

We don’t think skincare shouldn’t be intimidating or confusing, and neither do Go-To. In fact, their whole schtick is effective, uncomplicated, and as simple as cleanse, treat, moisturise. Three steps and done. (Yes, really.) But those skincare formulas should work hard for your skin and that’s just what Very Luxe Face Cream, a deeply replenishing moisturiser formulated and clinically proven* to firm and smooth the skin is designed to do. In other words: it’s not a time waster, it’s a visible skin-changer. Find Very Luxe Face Cream (and skin) here.

*Based on a 12-week clinical trial of 33 participants.

We were still busy this week…

In this week’s News Club interview - Kate chats with Adam Harvey from ABC TV’s 7.30 - he’s one of our most experienced foreign correspondents with deep experience in the Middle East. He has just returned from Israel, where he was reporting on the anniversary of the 7 October Hamas attacks. Have a read here or listen to the podcast here.

Part 2 of our US Election Shortcuts Series - This week we looked at the policies that are top of mind for American voters on the domestic front. Get ready for a tour de force on the US economy, healthcare, and abortion rights - and what the candidates plan to do if they’re elected… Did you also know we’re doing some video content?
