Pamper yourself with these top beauty buys

Before we go any further, know that this Olay eye gel won’t work miracles, so don’t expect to wake up looking ten years younger. What it will do, however, is leave you feeling and looking refreshed in the mornings. The way they do this is with a combination of peptides (anti-inflammatories), niacinamide (a form of vitamin B) and cucumber extract that hydrates the skin via a cooling gel that also helps to reduce puffiness. In fact, you may even want to stick it in the fridge for an extra hit of cool. The gel absorbs quickly and is best applied to clean, make-up free skin.

There’s four finishes to choose from so whether you’ve got Hackney industrial chic or West London regal, you’ll find a pair that look at home, in the home. They’re about 6.5kg per speaker so they’re sturdy enough to plonk down wherever they fit, but also not too heavy to pick up when the rental contract ends.

And if all that wasn’t enough, the JBL Pulse 4 can be linked up with other compatible JBL speakers for a proper, synchronised multi-speaker party. Pretty darn cool, if you ask us.

Shoes that make London life a walk in the park

Whether you think the Croc shoe is a beautiful innovation or the ugliest thing since the blobfish, there’s no denying its popularity. Perhaps it’s because they’re extremely lightweight, waterproof and comfy thanks to the trademark material they’re made from – Croslite (closed-cell resin). Or perhaps it’s down to the fact the ventilation holes keep your feet smelling fresh and you don’t have to bend down to slip them on. Whatever the reason, you won’t regret having a pair by the door for a spot of gardening or a quick nip to the corner shop. Plus they come in loads of colour combinations, so you won’t struggle to find your perfect fit.

Covent Garden Social Club is a bit of a gem if you’re ever looking for something to do on a weird mid-week evening. Just pop down and boom, entertainment. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, it’s comedy. And there’s a huge variety of talent gracing the stage, from seasoned TV types to some of the funniest new people on the block. All top quality, that’s for sure. And tickets are just a fiver until January 26! While prices generally vary, you can assume it’s at least half price of the typical tickets, which are usually £12. Upcoming acts include the likes of Olga Koch, Luke Kempner, Usif Musa.

Price £5.00 (was £12) 
When the deal ends – January 25 2022

Alright, this might not be entertainment for everyone, but some people will certainly file it under recreation. Objectively, it’s a bargain. Fitness is a good activity, good for the body and the mind all at once. It can help you unwind, it can help you feel motivated, if you could eat it, fitness would be a superfood (obviously). Sure, you can achieve fitness for free, runs are free, carrying the big shop home instead of using Ocado is also free. But the gym very much offers guidance, constructive feedback, community, and most importantly, an obligation.  There’s 35 per cent off (the code is BF2021, by the way). You could choose single classes which start at £10, but it makes sense to bag a few and use the discount properly, we reckon.

Price – £80 (was £124)
When the deal ends – While stocks last!
