Sweet surrender
French dessert brand The Parfait Co. recently rolled out a range of chilled parfait bonbons as part of their Diwali gift box. When we popped them, Donkey's dialogue from the movie Shrek - "parfait may be the most delicious thing on the whole damn planet" - rang in our head. In white chocolate, we'd recommended the rose-flavoured Aphrodite, and if chocolate rocks your boat, go for Nero, described as "a deep surrender into the beckoning folds of darkness". Word.
A witch returns
If you loved Kiernan Shipka as Sally in the now legendary Mad Men, you will love her as Sabrina Spellman in Netflix's The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. After Archie and the gang made a comeback in Riverdale, Sabrina and her aunties, Zelda and Hilda, are all set to entertain you. And we are loving the show. The story, which is all about the young witch treading the fine line between the path of the night (which involves submitting to Satan) and the path of light (which means remaining human), also brings up topics of consent, bullying and homosexuality. And, that alone, along with its soundtrack, of course, is enough for you to start binging now.
Zara's got a hit!
When Zara Larsson sings, "I want you to ruin my life, you to ruin my life, you to ruin my life, yeah, I want you to f''' up my nights, yeah", you have to sing along. The straight-up can't-get-you-out-of-my-head pop song is about a lover, who isn't good for you, but you don't care anyway. Haven't we all been there before? The song, which is on top of all the pop charts, is surely going to make Larsson a hitmaker. As she said in an interview earlier this year, "I have some friends who are like, 'All I wanna do is sing in a jazz bar and to just make it to pay for the rent.' And I'm like, cool⦠That's not what I wanna do. I want as many people as possible to go to my concert." Well, with this song, she may just get her wish.
