Bake

If you’re feeling inspired by Bake-Off into cooking yourself into a diabetic coma, you will need Jane Hornby’s What to Bake and How To Bake It. Foolproof – and I ought to know.

Buy

Urban Decay’s Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer. It’s got hyaluronic acid in it, which The Pool says is a good thing for hydration and not making that under-eye bit dry out and look all Miss Havisham-y. About £17.

Kill

Your clothes moths with these pheromone sticky strips – fly paper for jumper munchers. I am not a bloodthirsty person at all but I hate, hate hate clothes moths and take great pleasure in seeing the little fuckers stuck dead to the strips. Get from AmazonScreen Shot 2015-10-07 at 13.50.01.

    Agree with you re moths but as I have sadly discovered the pheromone strips only attract the male moths (it’s the female ones which lay eggs in clothes/carpets/rugs etc causing damage) . It’s damned annoying because you can see moths being caught by the strips and think yippee my clothes are safe but meanwhile the female moths are busy laying eggs in your favourite top ruining it. argh.
