What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week

What we're living for this week!

We have a new member!

Yep, Team STELLAR has had a bit of a change up since you’ve last heard from us, we’ve said goodbye to the wonderful Denise, who is off on a very exciting adventure, but we’ve said hello to a wonderful new team member! Jade Hayden!

So now, the new Team STELLAR; Jade H, Adele and Jade C will be bringing you our weekly faves, what you need to look out for and what we are obsessing over atm.

Jade H is loving… The Body Shop’s Christmas Range

We may only be edging our way into autumn, but the pre-Christmas anticipation has already begun (whether you like it or not).

One brand already fully embracing the early festive spirit is the Body Shop. This week, they had their Christmas showcase in Dublin, and judging by the sheer amount of gorgeous products that will be on shelves this festive season, we’re going to have our work cut out for us deciding what to buy for our loved ones, and what to keep for ourselves.

The Edelweiss range (previously Drops of Youth) is a must if you’re considering picking something up this year. It’s a true skincare game changer – you’re welcome.

Adele is loving… The Great British Bake Off 

Call me basic, but I love a cosy night in on the couch. And Tuesday nights are made all the better by The Great British Bake Off. For now it feels like too early days to call a clear winner, but I’m enjoying just watching it all unfold none-the-less. I enjoy leaving reality behind and entering this idllic world where cake is the most important thing. Usually, the only thought that crosses my mind during the hour and a half is ‘what do they do with all the leftover cake?’ which I answered here if you’re curious too.

While I’m watching the show I love a tasty treat to munch on too. My go-to lately has been Naked Bakes cookie dough. They’re made of very simple, natural ingredients, tasty af and so easy to make. I’ll usually pop on a tray 20 minutes before GBBO is set to begin and in less than 15 minutes I have delicious fresh cookies to enjoy while I watch the show – ideal!

Jade C is loving…Thriftify

We all know a good second-hand haul is the perfect source of serotonin, that moment when you find the most elite thing in a charity shop?! Iconic.

Jade H is loving… Soup and Sandwich Season

It’s cold outside. Like, really cold. Like, this happened so suddenly and it feels like it was only summer yesterday, does it not?

Alas, it’s not all doom and gloom as the days turning crisper and the wind getting harsher can only mean one thing and one thing only: it’s soup and sandwich season, baby.

We’re talking a tasty cheddar toastie alongside a spicy tomato broth. We’re talking a hearty chicken and stuffing paired with a steaming broccoli and cream. We’re even talking an egg salad sambo dipped into a butternut squash bowl (it works, I swear).

So what are you waiting for? Go forth, slice some bread, and get cosy with the most perfect food combo known to man. You deserve it.

Adele is loving… Reading

Okay, a broad topic to be loving, I know. But, I have been flying through some books lately. Probably the result of the colder weather creeping in and my social life taking a direct hit as a result (hey, I’m not complaining). I recently devoured Coleen Hoover’s ‘Vertity’. After going viral on social media I thought I would give it a try and I’m glad I did, creepy and gripping in equal measures, it kept me guessing throughout. Now, I’ve moved onto Coleen’s other hit book, ‘It Ends With Us’ and am enjoying it just as much.

Jade C is loving…The D’Amelio Show

These guys could be the next Kardashians. Bible.

Season two of the D’Amelio family’s reality show has landed on Disney+ and I’m hooked. I watched the first season out of curiousity as I am very up to date with TikTok drama and sisters Charli and Dixie seem to be involved in a lot of it. But witnessing the behind the scenes of the sudden fame these teens have been given, is refreshing and very interesting.

So when season two was announced I was pretty delighted, Charli, who is now dating Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s stepson Landon Barker, is hoping to get into the music scene, but it’s all a secret from her older sister Dixie who is already making a name for herself in the charts. While Dixie is unaware her sister might be about to release her own music, she is dealing with romance, and heartbreak while in the public eye. There’s drama, there’s romance, there’s secrets and a likeable family to go along with it.

I think I’ve seen this film before… and it had 20 seasons and then another show with two seasons already…

If you’re in need of a new watch I would recommend!
