Looking for nice casual trainers for wide feet. I don’t think my feet are especially wide, but I’ve recently found ‘wide fit’ shoes so much more comfortable!!! However as soon as you select wide fit the choices dramatically reduce, and often what’s left seems to suit a much older audience. I’d love to not spend a fortune as trainers only tend to last me a couple of years before I wear through them, but would spend more if they’d last longer!

What walking shoes/boots would people recommend for outdoor walking & hikes? I currently have some women’s regatta boots but find that on the left side, the top rubs on my ankle bone. I have also recently started wearing wide fit in some of my other shoes and found this has really helped my comfort levels, so wide would be good! Today I walked 10 miles and my little toes rubbed a bit, and I found a lot of pressure in my toes when walking downhill, but this might be to do with needing a wide.

How do you navigate armpits? I currently use bondi sands express 1hr ultra dark. I went over my armpits once, and it went so awfully patchy and caught in lots of dry skin, so I normally just avoid. I find this tan fades so naturally, but the one place I get it going patching is in the front of my arm pits - the bit you see looking straight on if that makes sense, and I don’t know if it’s because I stop tanning there instead of going further in so there’s more of a product build up?!

I’ve only ever used bondi sands for tan, and it’s always been a mousse with a guide colour. After seeing lots of people recommend their liquid gold dry oil I decided to give it a go because my least favourite part of tanning is feeling sticky while it marinates. I didn’t realise it didn’t have a guide colour!!! How much do you use? I did 6 sprays per arm, 6 per section of leg (thigh & calf). Is that enough? How do you know you’ve got everywhere when using a dry oil?

My design features an translucent arch shape on a colourful background and some text at the front. However, whenever I try and download the file the arch shape changes to a rectangle. The design in Canva still has the arch, just the downloads are rectangles! I have no idea why it’s doing this as I’ve made plenty of other designs using this shape which have downloaded without a problem, this seems to be the only one with an issue! I’ve tried downloading as pdf, jpg and png with the same result. Please help!!

The only gel that’s ever fully set my brows is the got2be but it gets a bit flaky. What can I use that just won’t budge?! I currently have a tinted Nyx glue one in a squeeze tube but they still end up dropping

Looking for the best charity shops for bric a brac. I’m specifically after gold photo frames! Also looking for vases. I’ve already been to Leicester city centre, Narborough Road, the Age UK superstore, Hinckley & Loughborough! Happy to travel a bit too.

Looking for the best charity shops for bric a brac. I’m specifically after gold photo frames! Also looking for vases. Based in Leicester & happy to travel a bit - journeying to Luton next week. Ideally a large shop with a car park, or an area with lots of good shops! I’ve already been to Leicester city centre, Narborough Road, Hinckley & Loughborough!

What are everyone’s favourite bronzer recommendations which aren’t glittery?! I’m pretty fair skinned so don’t want anything too orange. Drugstore ideally but would consider more high end if I can buy it in boots. Please don’t recommend Charlotte Tilbury, Revolution or MCo as I don’t support those brands. Thanks!

Where can I buy decent quality white T-shirts? Ideally 100% cotton. Anything tried before is thin and a bit see-through, or quickly loses shape when worn & washed a few times.

What’s everyone’s favourite bodycare recommendations? My skin is pretty soft, but it does get quite dry & flaky on my shins. I epilate so often get ingrowns on my legs. I also have a bit of acne on my bum and sometimes on my back. I have quite a bit of cellulite & stretch marks on my thighs, but I know skincare products can’t really fix that. I just want to look as smooth & flawless as possible!

I currently use a salicylic acid body wash on my hair wash days which is about 3x a week, and whatever other body wash I have to hand on the others. I’ve found it hard to remain consistent with body lotions. I think I’d be more motivated to apply if it smelt nice! I don’t really want thick body butters during the summer. I have used the smoothing body serum by Byoma but found it a bit sticky and again struggled to be consistent with application.

I am looking for pyjamas for the morning of the wedding. I want them to be white, button up front & short top and bottoms. Ideally cotton, definitely not satin. Also would like to avoid spending tooo much!

We are looking for what else we can ask our wedding party to help with, as we have 1 groomsman remaining with no other responsibilities. So far we have:
Best man: music, witness, ringbearer
Maid of honour: reading, witness
Bridesmaid 1&2: getting people for photos
Groomsman 1: music
Groomsman 2: announce, toastmaster
Groomsman 3: ?????

All of the wedding party will help with general ushering during the day. They’re all helping to decorate the venue, and we will give all of them an extra little job for the reception, eg making sure we are drinking, eating, getting the guestbook signed etc

Also something we can ask the mother of the groom to do which is an important job?

So I’ve been growing lots of flowers from seed in my greenhouse, with the intention of them being my wedding flowers. However, this heat has caused a lot of them to die off, before I even had a chance to plant them out. There’s some I have also planted out, but I’m also not convinced they’ll survive. My wedding is in 6 weeks - are there any plants I can buy (plugs, established etc) that will give me cut flowers in 6 weeks? Our colours are bright and vibrant pink, orange, yellow & pale blue. I’m so so gutted and would really appreciate any advice

I bought myself a pair of bondi 9s in a wide fit. They were fine my first couple of wears, but then one day when I was running, they made large water blisters on the inside of my foot, from the ball into the arch. They had been so so comfortable before this and I was really happy with them. Does anyone have any advice for what I can do? I’m running on a treadmill in case that’s important.

I’m so stuck with wedding readings. I’ve tried looking online but they all have the same few, so thought I’d try this hive mind instead! I have a big passion for the Beatles, but don’t like the idea of having lyrics read out. I love to read and I enjoy Matt Haig and Roald Dahl. I also love theatre, especially musicals! Would love any suggestions please!!

I am doing my own makeup and using it as an excuse to treat myself to a few new bits. Does anyone have any blusher recommendations they loved for their wedding day? I currently have a Collection powder which is quite glowy, but I’m not sure if it’s too glowy for the day? So looking for both glowy and matte recommendations so I can try both. I have a few different liquid blushes including the elf camo. I normally wear liquid and powder together so looking for both. I am fair skinned with dark hair, and ideally looking for drugstore or if it’s more high end, ideally I can still buy it in boots

Especially around the top of my head, it is so frizzy. I have lots of short hairs as new growth and they seem to just want to grow up and out instead of down with the rest of it. Does anyone have any product recommendations? My hair is naturally wavy and the frizz is much worse when I diffuse so I’ve been trying not to do that for a while now. What’s the John frieda frizz ease range like? Does anyone have any smoothing shampoo recommendations?
